Larian Studios Forums Active Threads This Week

Thank you!

ok that reassuring to know that i am not the only one haha !! i already tried a save before approaching the in ... i will tried with an even older one (if i can find one ) after checking the file on steam thank you

Hi guys, I'm kind of a RP player and I'm running my first tactician mode game.

I've already used Lae'zel as a GWM user in a previous game, so I'm woundering what would be the best option aside from 2hander ?

Is DW or sword and board fighter would be the best ?

The rest of my team isn,t that powerfull, War domain shadowheart, Arcane trickster Astarion and a pure wizard Gale.

The showcase thread linked in the welcome thread 404s so... hopefully this is okay.

Hello folks! I'd like to... well, let's not mince words, shill all the nine hells and a few more to spare out of a revoice mod I made. It's a full revoice of Tav's Voice 1 pack, going for kind of a lower, smoother range than the vanilla ones. I've got the point-and-click lines, all the environmental stuff and even spell vocalizations replaced {as far as I can tell!} and I'd love to know what you folks would think. One version is uploaded to Nexus, but if you don't have or want a Nexus account, I also dumped a copy into cloud storage.

So, if anyone wants to give it a spin, let me know what you think! Depending on how it's received, I might try my hand at a few variations later.

*I'm still trying to figure out a way to identify grunts, efforts and other non-verbal files and unfortunately so far I'm drawing a blank. If anyone has ideas how to isolate them, I'd be very grateful

I like the idea of giving them roles or jobs at your camp (or home base if you get one). For example they can be used to send off on side missions with different outcomes based on their capabilities. Creating/Crafting items, seeking merchants to join your camp, investigating POI that lead to future game play (or simply return with information/loot etc.) Lots of ideas around this where they add to the camp and party without joining you on missions and perhaps even discovering hidden missions otherwise not available.

So long as we are talking about Apparel, one thing I would love to see is to the magic slingers. Honestly, I don't think I've found a game that presents Wizards apparel with some serious robes, cloaks and hoods/hats and I think Staff's with multiple functions are missing (Think of the old Staff of the Magi). And would love a progression of robes just like a progression of armors. Some with single and some multiple benefits depending on legendary.

I've been a fan of high fantasy (example Lord of the Rings) and wizards in D&D landscapes like Dragon Lance or various wizards as found on Pinterest. Different artifacts that can be used other than wands and staves too. Such as orbs, pyramids, magic swords with spell capabilities, etc. Get creative.

GM Mode is used by table top game players that can fashion a game campaign, maps and handle combat etc. while using it in a D&D tabletop (VTT). Think of it like "fantasy grounds" but with full game mechanics, animation etc. Only people I think that really would use it are actual tabletop game / VTT players. Your average video gamer would not most likely for D&D or Pathfinder type games.

This would be nice, and if still open so there is not one primary avatar. They would have to have the voice for all origin characters + a few different voices for custom characters of any sex/race. It would really add to the game for sure.

I replaying the original Baldur's gate trilogy right now. Although I love these games, its implementation of real time with pause was truly ass. I think I rate the toilet chain more highly, and I also hate the toilet chain. I am happy to hear that the new game will be turn based.

That said, I'd play a well made action rpg too.

It's all hidden achievements. You can get the nonhidden just fine (like getting to Reapers Coast) but you get one of 2 hidden achievements between defeating the act 1 final boss and arriving in Act 2 and neither will pop now. Worked fine before the series upgrade but doesn't work post update.

Also broke teleport and put a hard limit on stats that wasn't there prior. (If you'd used a ring to get strength required for items you can't use that to equip strength gear anymore)

Sure, but since it's a BG 3 Mod that provides "Backgrounds" from Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn & Backgrounds from The Crooked Moon. How are these implemented to interact with the Inspiration Goals feature, or does it not interact at all?

Another instance I've just captured, this time the crushing damage also affected Lae'zel as she was standing next to Karlach.

To be clear, I don't think EVRY single magic item you find should always "remain relevant" across the entire game. There should obviously be some degree of variation in quality.
But I'm a strong advocate for:

- making the gap between tiers relatively gradual and marginal. The difference between +1, +2 and +3 weapons in D&D is a perfect example of the concept, but not necessarily the only way to go.
- having a limited number of tiers. There should be early game/low value items, good ones, excellent ones... Maybe legendary ones too. But that's it. If you find something that "seems very good" it should stay relevant for hours and maybe even become part of a solid build, not be disposable after every level up or so.
- making the unique "secondary effects" of your items more relevant that the numerical ramp up in power. As from a previous example: moving from "+1 damage" to "+2 damage and does double damage to undead" is a lot more compelling than "+2, +3+, +4, +5, +6" and so on.

Might & Magic X Legacy had something like this and it worked fairly well.

The game had a baseline of randomize loot ranked in more or less 5-6 tiers of quality (can't remember exactly) and then every now and then you could loot golden pieces of equipment called "Relics" which had the interesting characteristic of starting as basic items in power (they were at the level of a good early game magic item and nothing more) and then rank up in level for three more times. At level 2 they were decidedly better, at level 3 very strong and at level 4 they became basically "best in class" in their respective category of weapon/armor.

Of course as a result by the end game they were basically the only items that really mattered for your party and every non-relic item was just a placeholder/vendor trash waiting to be replaced.

We need SOME games that are aimed only at an adult audience and I'm really glad to see Larian push that and its boundries again. If you develop something for a mixed audiance, you get Disney or close. Lets see what they come with.

Okay, after two days I have fixed my game, and hopefully yours too; my game had been constantly freezing (rainbow spinner) after every 3rd or so cutscene, just like you who has this issue. It seemed like there was no solution, but after trying everything, I think I have narrowed it down. To start, here is what I had done up until I fixed it: Verified Integrity of game files in Steam, turned V-Sync on in-game, changed Refresh Rate to 60hz in System Settings and capped frame rate in-game to 60fps, turned graphics settings down to a playable setting in-game, deleted all overwrite saves and am only creating new saves (with a limit of 10 or so at a time; just create a new save and keep going from there), turned off Steam Cloud Sync, and finally, deleted 3rd party apps that I figured were affecting this issue.

What I think solved this issue is the final step, which was deleting an app called Little Snitch (blocks apps from sending data through the internet). If you have this app or anything similar, just delete it until you finish this game lol. This paired with changing my in-game frame rate cap from 30 to 60fps is what fixed my game. I did both of these steps at the same time, so I am unsure which one broke the curse, but I'm pretty sure it was deleting Little Snitch.

With this being said, please check your computer using Activity Monitor (built-in application) to see what apps are running that you think may cause a problem with this game. Also, it won't hurt to complete the prior steps in order to follow my lead exactly. I honestly don't know if what I did before deleting Little Snitch helped, but it is definitely worth sorting beforehand.

All in all, if you have any apps running that will affect any and all other apps on your computer's ability to send information in any way, deactivate it. It might solve your problems.

Alright, it seems to be written with StreamLib (larian proprietary library). I've found lslib as reversed alternative, but it was written for original sin. Not sure how it will work for Ego Draconis. And it's on C#.

having this issue as well.. posted on the forum yesterday but i am not hopeful since it seems this has been an ongoing issue for almost a year lol. this sucks.

One more thing I would like to see is more grounded art style similar to BG3 (although I think they don't need to be shy about making attractive companions). With that said I also think they need some variety to different body types (short, tall, lean, muscular, big). But I really liked the look of BG3 over the original Divinity, albeit the original Divinity art style was good for the theme and type of game for its time. But with the amazing world in BG3 I would feel more invested in the immersion if the fantasy was along the lines of Lord of Rings type with flavors from D&D, game of thrones, etc. Would love to see beautiful elves for once though I'm sure they have already baked in the art style. Elves in D&D games and Divinity made them seem less regal.

Technically, the scaling of long duration effects converts rounds into 1 minute intervals (Which is the normal denomination for a round in D&D). Meaning you'd be 10 minutes out by the time you came across the other boat.

BG3 does janky stuff with its speed (Often making things go faster than it should). But a round should definitely be longer than 6 seconds. Given that the typical D&D duration of a Standard Action is 6 seconds (With a Bonus Action taking 3 seconds).

That said, BG3 also does things like pausing time during conversations and interactions too. If only for that specific character, meaning you can buff a character, start a dialogue and the buff won't tick down while you're in the dialogue, even if you can select another character and go walking around with them.

This with its weirdly fast timers for rounds, can cause some jank with assessing the passage of time.

Actually, the bonus from stat alterations will scale to whatever your actual stat modifier is. It's not a flat +6. If you had +1 modifier from 12 Str then the elixir would only provide a +4 bonus to end up with the +5 you'd have from 20 Strength.

Jahiera's still alive? I could swear she got body slammed so hard back in BG2 there wasn't even a body to resurrect.

Get into the Spectator fight by the Selunite outpost. Instead of killing the adds, the statues it unpetrifies, I focus it down and win! Never done it that way before.

The thralls un-thrall and we have a friendly discussion and get on with our lives. Much later, done now with the Underdark, where's the third Icy whatever? Internet say one of them had the icy helve. I go back, they of course haven't been hanging around there for several days. Though there certainly was enough fresh beef.

Eh, maybe they'll find their way to the Forge for a resolution one way or another.

Those are just statements btw. they don't constitute a debate.

Maybe fire up the BG3 modmanager again and see if it shows an error message, like a duplicate mod hanging around. Could happen if you switched from nexus mods to ingame, I guess.

this mod: Link file
it has 3 options (Head A, Head B, Head C).
I like this head A alot(closed eyes, glowing middle eye). Image showcaseImage:
But it has a tooth stick out, I don't really like it. Head B and C doesn't have the tooth though.
Hope you would help to remove the tooth from head A for me
