Larian Studios Forums Active Threads This Week

I'm playing honor mode, real honor mode, for the second time. The first time I was a fighter. I didn't fail, I just got tired of it.

This time a sorcerer. I'm doing well so far, cleared out the topside of the crypt, did enough to get the quest from Mol, some other stuff, L3 and climbing.

So regarding the strange ox...


I'm ready for failure from mistakes or unexpected stuff, but this is more like the unknown unknowns, since when does a mage hand slapping an ox


Maybee...

Or is it my imagination? I pick up a few on my travels to put things in to declutter, and was using them because they were lighter than backpacks, which are a pound. Now it seems they are 0.4 and not 0.2 in weight.

Or is it an honor ruleset upgrade?

I am experiencing the exact same issue! Also on a Mac (MacBook Pro, M4 Pro, 48 GB RAM) and I have completely reset/reinstalled the game, threw away all my old saves and still get these crashes almost every time I interact with an NPC (especially story-related stuff).

Before these crashes became so constant, I managed to finish the game (with just a handful of crashes along the way), so I'm pretty sure the game generally works on my machine/my setup.

Lae'zel with Silver Sword and hill giant strength has 50% of hitting Raphael to get his armor.

91 swings

As far as I can tell, that's about a 1 in 10 chance to do that poorly. Not impossible, but I wonder if that's about average, which, by definition, it shouldn't be. I lead off with a 0 and 5 streak, btw, again suggesting frontloading of bad rolls.

I'm not gonna hover over every swing to look at the raw rolls, but that would be interesting. Is there a way to save the combat log, with breakout of details (not just the text from the scroll, i.e. also save the data shown by hover over.)

I did quit and restart, but it was still broken. It's started working again at some point, it's a mystery now!

Updated the Demon Hunters blog with Part 10: Casualties of Chaos, Chapter 3. Hope you enjoy.

And now, the Demon Hunters adventure (the fanfic prequel to Baldur's Gate 3: The Afflicted) continues with Demon Hunters 2: Wrath of Demogorgon.

Again, Demon Hunters 2: Wrath of Demogorgon is based on the Out of the Abyss campaign, but it is the second half. There are plenty of original characters and story elements included, so I hope you enjoy.

I just go for Karlach, because then the rest of them leave you alone ... mostly.

Its a good build. You can also swap one of the fighter levels for a wizard level. That gets you a level 6 spell slot, and the ability to memorize wizard spells of any level so that you can use that level 6 spell slot. You lose action surge though. Would probably need to put more points in int, since int affects the number of wizard spells you can memorize. Choose buffs rather than attacks, because your DC for wizard spells will not be good.

Back when I first started Baldur's Gate III, I was asked whether I wanted to link my Lariant Account to my Larian Account. I don't recall the exact wording, but I think they're indeed called almost the same:
One is the account I'm using here to post on the forums, the other is what logs me into Baldur's Gate III (and presumably also Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2, which feels weird that these games can be selected in the popup window when launching BG3 in Steam).

My question is how these two are actually linked? I've seen users here in this subforum asking for the deletion of their forum account, for example, but I doubt that locks them out of the Larian games they bought.
Likewise, I would assume if anyone gets banned here on the forums, that doesn't ban them from playing BG3 or DOS1 and DOS2.

In turn, I guess there must be some way to sanction players within BG3 who may keep harassing other players in open multiplayer sessions, or something along those lines - but I doubt that has anything to do with the forum account.
Then again, Larian also seem to be able to see everything we do in-game, I guess? Otherwise they wouldn't have stats on how many players hook up with which companion etc...


I mean, I don't see what one could possibly do in-game that isn't fair-game by BG3's own Durge standards . Still, it feels a little weird to me.

I just skipped the launcher by going to the game’s install folder and running bg3.exe directly. Made a shortcut to that and it boots straight into the game without issues.

What are you hoping for in regards to future Larian games ?

Would love to play thrower one day ...
But my OCD dont allow me ... need to rearange my hotbar after every single attack is super annoying. -_-

The music during the fight is much too quiet. Even when music volume is set at 100% in settings.

Yes! City of Heroes has "Streakbreaker", but it is also a D20 system. From the descriptions people made above about "Karmic Dice", it sounds like they lifted the same rule for both.

YouTube just put plasma clinic ads on my shorts scroll wall. Or maybe it was Instagram. Nevermind. That joke above is literally the only mention of such a thing I've ever done.

Someone somewhere is either giving up my pseudo-anon ID to advertisers, or their scraping is so efficient the bots put two and two (and two and two and two) together to figure out what every pseudo-private ID for everyone out there is associated with which central ID.

This is rather unsettling.

I figured that out at partway through, so compensated by avoiding it, but was still getting chewed down too fast for Supremes + periapt to compensate. I even started to wonder if the 1 hps also blew up like mephits do. I then took off whatever it was that did radiant to whatever hits me, so they wouldn't be a factor.

I put the Pixie's Blessing back on, and redid the fight, no problem that time.

Her 8 INT finally caught up with her!

I get Mods from Mod.io Patch 8 tested and it will not let me start a new game. I am using a Windows Gog Version of the game

(Just to clear up confusion, I know the statue doesn't automatically talk to you from a previous playthrough which had it's save files deleted due to computer failure, the reason the statue is talking to me is because I opened the book).

IIRC the canon Gorion's Ward from WotC: you had a really stupid name and for some reason came back and wanted to rule Baldur's Gate of all places (WHY ? WHY ? WHY ???) and got killed by some other Bhaal kid that you helped out of Saradush but that for some reason wanted to murder you.

Also of course the bug that allowed to get two rings of gaxx was fixed, the cloak that reflected spells now deflects them, and I dont think the Bhaal form is supposed to be a demon.

I've seen a few older posts, but have been unable to find a fix for the PC(Steam) and PS5 Cross-Save issue.

If I'm playing on my PS5 and save the game, that save will eventually show up on my PC, usually after a few hours. But if I play in my PC and save, it never shows up on my PS5. I've got everything linked correctly that I can tell, but it still doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Yes, agree. I keep her hair but add the bangs, which look so good.
Hijimare hairs allow you to add to existing hairstyle , not replace it alltogether.

Hmm, I got kicked out of turn based mode. I tried going back in and skipping turns but the timer never came back. I am sure there should have been more enemies to spawn but they never appeared, the fight ended and Halsin was stuck in the portal forever... I should have gone to camp and seen if he was there, I suppose.
