maquise, in Baldur’s Gate 3 - Discussion Post #3

Yeah, I hit a wall I can’t overcome; Shadowheart or Karlach?

iMastari,

Karlach because she's hot....

I'll see myself out.

SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE,

Neither. Lae’zel.

TransplantedSconie,

I see you like your bits stepped on and abused.

Aye, she’ll do it, lad.

SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE,

I only just started act 2 but she’s already asked me to fight her. I won and I think she’s even more into me now.

TransplantedSconie,

Yep. Right after the Grove she’s shaking her moneymaker in your face. Gith do that shit.

SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE,

I’m into it!

TransplantedSconie,

Funny thing was I didn’t even have to fight her.

Depending on your actions in the fight with the 3 absolute generals to close out act 1 and how much of a stud you are, she just throws that pussy at you like a hot potato. I was like, "Damn baby, can we like have dinner first? I just slaughtered like 50 dudes. I’m hungry. "

RinseDrizzle, in FSR 2 or 3?

Pardon the silly question, but what is FSR?

Daydream8714,

It’s a technology by AMD. FidelityFX Super Resolution. Basically, it is a technology that lets you improve the performance of a game while not sacrificing too much quality.

If I remember correctly, the way it works is by running the game at lower than native resolution (say 720p instead of 1080p) and then using fancy algorithms to upscale the graphics back to native resolution. It tries to get the best of both worlds, the better performance of running at a lower resolution and the better graphics of a higher resolution.

Contend6248, in FSR 2 or 3?

FSR2 is already out for quite some time, FSR3 too

community.amd.com/t5/gaming/…/634265

Daydream8714,

Right, but doesn’t each game developer need to implement it into their game? It’s my understanding that the technology is released, but not yet implemented in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Correct. FSR 1 can be implemented on a system level (it’s done that way on SteamOS). But FSR 2 has to be implemented for each game individually.

Daydream8714,

Interestingly enough, the Steam Deck is why I ask. I’m hopeful that with FSR 2/3 I can get solid performance on it.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

The game seems to be more CPU bound. FSR helps more with graphics.

But, FWIW with these settings I get more or less acceptable performance and visual quality:

  • vsync and frame rate cap off
  • in-game FSR: Ultra Quality
  • everything on low, except textures on medium with x2 anisotropic filtering
  • anti-aliasing: TAA (this resets every launch for some reason)
Daydream8714,

Interesting, I’ll have to test those settings out. Thanks!

Contend6248,

Ah, i didn’t saw which community this was posted in, my bad.

prograhammingdev, in House of Hope final was amazing - SPOILERS

The music was absolutely amazing. My favorite part of the game. Didn’t even mind having to redo it when we failed the first time.

urbanzero,

The music was so out of left field for me. It made me think I had walked into a game over scenario.

urbanzero, in House of Hope final was amazing - SPOILERS

Does anybody know who voiced Korilla? Because I want it to be Melethiel. The idea that Korilla and Raphael are both singing during this fight is too good not to be true.

Pronell, in House of Hope final was amazing - SPOILERS

I managed to take him down quite easily with the help of a Mummy punching the spoiler things. But in the process Hope fell and I hadn’t realized. I rolled with it - next run is for perfection.

I will definitely do the Otto’s Dance next time!

Sigh_Bafanada, in Save scumming is disgusting! Buut....

[Minor spoilers for the very beginning of act 3]

“I’m not keen to blow up a whole building full of people to take out a nasty system”

*Karlach disapproves"

Hold on, what?

Kolanaki, in Favorite minor/side character?
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Popper! I want to take him from the circus and keep him in my camp.

Shivs, in Favorite minor/side character?
@Shivs@kbin.social avatar

There are a lot of great minor characters but I especially liked Barcus and Rolan and being able to impact their stories. I would have liked to see where things were going with He Who Was but never ran in to him again. Did I miss it or was there just the one encounter?

twistypencil, in 4 Halfling Barbarians - Part 2

I’m confused by frenzy, I can never throw anything nearby, only useless items like potions, but I see these dudes do it

Shinzid, in Baldur's Gate 3 - Discussion Post #2

Ive been loving the random interactions between laezel and shadowheart and occasionally with astarion as well. Is great to see everyone start out a certain way and eventually change their opinion on certain events and other companions - feels like we’re really on a journey and evolving together

Haven’t really explored much with the rest of the cast. Any other companions have fun quips / interactions?

JimmyMcGill,

Wyll and Karlach also have history together.

CaptPretentious, in Favorite minor/side character?

I got a kick out of Crusher and all the dialog options with him and everyone around him. I laughed so hard at everything.

HarkMahlberg, in Hotfix #8 Now Live
@HarkMahlberg@kbin.social avatar

The developers seem to have a hard time figuring out how party members' inventory is supposed to work when they're not in the party.

I once told Laezel to go back to camp and pulled in Gale, played for a dozen hours or so, and then pulled Laezel back in to go to the creche. Well... when she came back, she had nothing in her inventory - only what she had equipped. This meant that I lost the Icy Crystal, a handful of really good weapons and potions, and other things.

--SPOILER--
I once released Shadowheart in a similar manner, but the moment I did, the Artifact got put into my inventory and I was unable to give it back. Several dialogue sequences happened where NPC's assumed she still had it, even though I did.
--SPOILER--

And all this was prior to the new key item behavior... and now they've rolled it back. So they had bugs, behavioral changes, rollbacks of those changes... So far I haven't had anything super game breaking happen but my experience so far makes me weary.

FooBarrington, in Hotfix #8 Now Live

Is there a fix for you not being able to pet or hug the Mermer cat yet? Never in my life have I been so disappointed as when I hear the most enthusiastic “Mermer” and I can’t respond :(

CryptidBestiary, in Would a Selunite cleric run with Shovel the quasit?

You can actually have up to two casters who can summon Shovel, even at the same time if you want to! It’s not even a big or a glitch. Just have the other caster talk to Shovel and she’ll give them the ability to summon. I think it would be a fun and interesting contrast in dynamic to have a cleric be “cursed” with a chaotic quasit. And maybe some day find a common ground and understanding with each other, roleplay wise :)
