She also seems to explain Orin's art projects to you. I had her in the group when we found Dribble's head and she explained the references. I still have to take her along to find the rest of the clown.

I get Sera vibes right there ...

As a goblin fan I have to give a shoutout to my goblin sweeties.

Sazza, Torturer Spike, Priestess Gut... The captions and voice acting did the goblindom justice.

I gotta be honest a lot of the party members I preferred in Early Access. Much as I love Shadowheart, I miss her bite actually having sharp teeth behind it. Same with Wyll, he was so much more interesting when he was confident and open about his self-indulgent past though it was good that they toned down his obsession with goblins.

Minthara's entire deal is one of my favorite things in the game otherwise. I would be down for an entire extended story following her back to Menzoberranzan to have an aristocracy style campaign there, especially since they made her part of the most interesting family to mess with.

Jaheira is great, I just wish she and Minsc had MORE going on, especially with Viconia. I loved Viconia in BG1 and 2, and still love what's going on in 3 but it was a HUGE missed opportunity to explore why she became who she is in 3 and really dig into potential interactions with the three of them and Shadowheart together.

Justice for Sazza. It would've been absolutely hilarious to have her as a full companion if she survived all the way through.

Couldn’t agree more about Florrick and Isobel. Not sure if I progressed too fast to skip over her scenes, but I’m in the beginning of act 3 and have yet to see her again. I’ve grown to love Wyll & Astarions storylines from where the game begins the most. Unless I’ve yet to discover it, I wish one of the werewolf’s played a larger role as the play style could be interesting, and could differentiate enough from the Druid class. Sorry for the rambling here, I’ve just gotten into the game over the past two weeks and have gotten completely sucked in & have been dying to talk about it.

Finally someone who appreciates Wyll's story. He was a fun mess in the EA, before the rework, prone to bitching, boasting, and violent outbursts against evil, especially goblins. He was also being actively pushed by the story into extremely uncomfortable situations where his heroic ideals were tested, such as torturing an innocent for information or (very likely) killing a child as a part of the devil's bargain. In the EA you either liked him for being a humane jerk or hated him. His post release version is so Chad that I can't do nothing but like him, even if he comes of as boring at times. This new softer demeanor while paired with giant balls to exploit the evilest means to pursue the good. It works so well in my opinion as a story, it's like playing chess when your board is full of pawns and still managing to win here and there.

There was a werewolf origin character planned: Helia, a halfling werewolf bard. And I'm still mad , she was scratched.

Florrick you see again in act 3, but after Rivington.

Dans Baldur's Gate, il est difficile de choisir un seul personnage préféré car chacun apporte quelque chose d'unique à l'aventure. Minsc avec son humour décalé et sa bravoure est un véritable atout, tandis que Jaheira incarne une force tranquille avec sa sagesse et son lien avec la nature. Imoen est une bouffée d'air frais, toujours optimiste malgré les épreuves, et son évolution au fil du jeu est fascinante. Chaque personnage enrichit l'histoire à sa manière, et c'est ce qui rend ce jeu si captivant pour moi !

I dislike Astarion, even from the first meeting during EA I disliked him. I keep him in camp, but don't enlist him except for 2 times. For the Cazador quest, cause I do want to allow him his revenge, and more importantly, to take him to Araj Oblodra (one of the side characters I like most of the game) to let him taste her blood. I think this is one of the funniest scenes in the game, and a valid reason to keep Astarion alive.

So when I enlist him to go visit her and he tells me "Darling, I thought you'd never ask". I have to smile and think, "if you knew what I have in store for you buddy".

Bonjour @Romaissa, et bienvenue au forum!

On utilise l’anglais comme langue véhiculaire, ca fait partie de nos règles. C’est pas facile pour tout le monde, mais les traducteurs automatiques sont généralement assez efficaces pour se faire comprendre.

N’hésite pas à m’evoyer un message perso pour toute question. Au plaisir de lire tes futures publications!

Damn, I would’ve loved to see that come to fruition. I’ll have to ask around for my next playthru because I wanted to try and make a character as horror centric as possible within the limitations of the story & being a werewolf would have made for some great combat. I’ve gotten a tiny bit into a campaign with some of my friends and one is a Dragonborn, I had no idea it would put us into a sacrificial murder mystery

Yes, the halfling werewolf bard sounded awesome. There is a werewolf mod, but I think, I'll wait until patch 7 to use it.

Since we had the topic before: I just saw the conversation with Wulbren about stopping Gortash again. I think he meant to do teh right thing and taking out the steelwatch before going after the man directly is the clever move for sure. The problem was, that he was too focused on the Gondians being the bad guys, that he didn't listen to reason at all.
I remember when I met him again, that I thought 'Great, we want the same thing' and I still was mad, that he was so dismissive of Barcus, who risked his life for him, but I still thought, we could come to terms and he would see reason, once we proof, that the Gondians were Gortashs slaves. So yeah, I actually think, that Wulbren is a pretty well written antagonist. He started out wanting to do right, but was so blinded by his own personal headcanon of what had happened, that he was beyond reason.
He certainly is one of the most grounded antagonists in the game.

I have to give a shoutout to Brother Donnick from the Open Hand temple. He is the one, making soup in the kitchen. He is also one of the Ilmateri, who does defend the refugees. And if you go into the cellar, there is a document in a side room, where someone documented strange occurences and one of them is that soup is still delivered somehow to the refugees, even though the temple is officlally closed down. So Donnick, the unsung hero, is making soup in secret and delivers it. Love the guy.

I just sent Myshka to Derryth Bonecloak and it is so precious. Baelen died in the Underdark, because the resurrected Bulette accidentally jumped into the bibberbang and exploded everything.
Seems that was good , because now Derryth has a cat and is muc hmore happy. That's so cute. I always was sad, I couldn't help Myshka.

I just ran into Blurg again! He and Omeluum are just precious. I forget how fond I am of some of these characters when I haven't talked to them in awhile.

Same. There are so many precious side characters around.
I love Kira the cat in Sharess Caress. And another cat recruited Vayu, my sword bard, into a Sharess cult against the Absolute. He said yes, because a cat asked.
Just found out recently, that Sharess seems to be loosely based on Bastet ( and I play DnD for a very long time).

I just realised, that Karlach and Wyll have a full conversation with Tav included, if you click on Wyll with Karlach after her recruitment instead of doing that with your Tav/Durge. It is so much more fun. I wonder how many more hidden options like that exist, if you accidentally use a companion to talk to another companion. A lot of times, you can't even do that.

It's not the same, but if you use Halsin to talk to Jaheira, there's a conversation about the previous battle against Ketheric. It was cool. I might never have tired if I hadn't read that it was an option.

Yeah, I wish, there would be more like that to be honest. And maybe some companion friendship scenes - Wyll and Karkach bonding over their experiences in hell, Lae'zel and Shadowheart coming to terms. Jaheira and Halsin talking about their first time in Reithwin and how they experienced it.
Make the camp evenings a bit more lively and not focus solely on our characters.
