I’ve really cocked up at the Druid grove.

Spoiler tag in the thread title so I can talk without tags, but please don’t spoil anything further, as I’m not all that far in:

So the snake killed the little tiefling girl. That really surprised me. One of my two player characters is a tiefling herself, so I’m imaging she is distraught by that.

Then I talked to Nettie. That didn’t go well. She’s dead, too.

Any other game I might have reloaded, but this feels so natural, almost like playing table top. I love it. I’m going to move forward and see where this goes.

I might end up slaughtering the druids in vengeance.

I went in with the intention to
kill all of the Druids and shatter the grove. Not only am I not thrilled about the appalling treatment of my fellow Tieflings (I'm Chaotic Evil, but I've still got this little tiny glimmer of civility inside of me that I pay heed to when it conveniently suits me,) but I wasn't going to abide a child being treated like common gutter trash.

It was an easy decision to make because I don't care about being healed and getting the worm removed. I want to find someone who can help me harness its power and control it, or at the very least find a way to negate it or minimize its effects. Therefore that healer was useless to me, and as the Druids had the audacity to ignore my request to unhand and set loose the child, they were all pulped and left as little more than viscera; a grim reminder of the consequences of defying me.



I don't want to fall to bits 'cos of excess existential thought.

I just found

evidence that these are disciples of Faldorn. One, awesome. Two, they must die.

My character is a drow priestess of Lolth. I can tell you Netty didn't survive when poisoning me. I didn't even need to roll a die on that one lol.

I agree, the failures are interesting. It makes the successes, like that 14 needed to kill the tadpole you find inside the brain of the dying man afterwards and you make a 15 all the more rewarding.

I completely agree! Larian has included soo many options that the world feels real! Probably one of, if not the most immersive things I've played...

The evil play through is coming along well ? I’m loving the game - just did that exact bit but the Druid woman is still alive - at this point anyway....

Why can't you do it? You can initiate a fight anytime with any NPC I believe.

Initiate, yes. Surviving it is another matter ;-)

Yeah, she has a lot of hot points. As soon as my party hits 4 I’m going to go back and avenge the innocent.

And this was supposed to be an evil playthrough. 😂

Sorry, Swen, you tried, but I can’t do it. Hero forever.

I am having a wonderful time in BG 3 exploring and meeting the origin characters. I try to do evil ... selfish and self centered at least but i fail and try to get along with the group that is foming. The game is a lot of fun and challenging.

Going to read some fiction and see how evil is portrayed . Thanks Larian this is awesome and the art work/graphics are great.

Because I may be Chaotic Neutral and hate people like Kagha, but I don't want to kill them. I'd rather find a way to ruin them, much more fun to leave them to suffer.
