But where shall Boo make his bed if not in Astarion's lucious locks?

- A satsifying ending to the lost shipment quest if you take the job to deliver it. Currently it just fizzles out even though we know who the buyer most likely was.

The game is great, it's hard to improve. But here it is:

- less dice rolls in conversations (I can be a perfectionist)
- some more fights in act 2 and especially more fights in act 3 (I didn't just want to do a fashion show with my new armor and weapons.)
- the main story and some of the companion and side stories in act 3 being fleshed out more (A neverending story would be great!)
- Nere as a companion (white hair badasses ftw.)
- A fun reunion in Act 3 or in the epilogue party with the Koa-tua (After all, I have become a god to the fishes, I want to be praised.)
- Some cinematic (!) fight and stunt scenes for Astarion killing his enemies to enjoy his new power (praise the Vampire Lord)
- more camp scenes in act 3 (LI and friendship), friendship/party banter and companions reacting to your romance (Come on, at least a pikachu face from Wyll when my Tav gets on his knees for a kiss with Astarion)
- being able to adopt a cat! (*His Majesty disapproves* - hush!)


Okay guys, it's going to be nasty. If you can't handle it, don't read it:


I am joking! But here it goes:
- more nsfw scenes, including the possibility to explore Abdirak's lessons with your LI in sharess caress (Please provide some whips and handcuffs)
- Your LI ruling* the world, while Tav is "going to sit nicely in (their) laps" - Quote from Astarion (No further comment here)
*Instead of yourself

A smorgasbord of pet wishes, in no particular order

- no romancing Dragonborn
- no Minsc, Sarevok, Viconia
- Karlach a Fighter - she is a slumrat trained into a battlefield killer, not a shaken-out-off-the-tree tribal
- Minthara, Halsin and Jaheira not recruitable, are quest givers and can join some fights as autonomous 5th party member
- can recruit and romance Khaga, being supportive of her Law and Order tendencies; she no need fixing!
- Origins not respecifeable (can still Multiclass) when Companions; some limited respeccing if Tav is Origin
- if Companions still available, e.g. Halsin, Minthara, their initial Classes are fixed, e.g. Halsin has 4 lvls of Druid, Minthara 5/6 lvls of whatever, Jaheira is 3/3 Fighter/Druid. After recruitment can be multiclassed
- a male Origin who does NOT have STR8
- Tavs have to have 13 in their Main Stat, applies to Multiclassing too
- less/more sensible XP
- fewer and more costly Health Potions and Resurrection Scrolls
- Healing Word is Bonus Action only for Life Domain Clerics
- Lay on Hands is Bonus Action Help
- level caps - Act 1 = 4th, Act 2 = 8th (maybe 9th)
- Act boundries changed - Act 1 is Wilderness only, Act 2 is Mountain Pass, Underdark and Shadowlands
- no backtracking, not possible to go back from Act 2 or 3 to a previous one
- Daisy; or major changes to Emperor, e.g. no romance in particular
- Gith and Absolutists fighting
- no Oathbreaker sub-class
- an Oathbreaker mechanism for Clerics (a Druid or Melikki Priestess kicking the squirrel makes Nature mad and you no can Spell :))
- merging of Sorcerer and Warlock, with Metamagic moved (back) to Wizard
- can punish the Thiefling criminals like Mol or Mattis
- movement bonuses limited to 1,5 m, no stacking beyond two bonuses
- no unlimited DEX bonus Medium Armour, Yuan Ti and Agility get a +3 bonus instead
- Ankheg Armour for Jaheira (medium, 16 AC, half elf female fighter/druids only :P)
- bear, and not panther Wildshape for Jaheira
- War Domain - Bonus Action attacks - initial 3 per LR get upgraded at 3rd lvl to 3 per SR and then at 5th to 3 per encounter
- War Domain - gain Proficiency with four Weapon types of your choice
- Heavy Armour only for War Domain
- no Strong Body type for pureblood Elves (dey skinny runts)
- Halsin half-elf, not pureblood
- Strong Body type gives Muscular trait but with Disadvantage for Acrobatic Checks (no free bonuses)
- redo the short races, Halflings first of all
- redo male elf mugs, dey so Chad
- same sex romance filter
- for the love of all that is holy redo Malus Thorm! Make him look like a liche and not the bastard child of General Grevious! The other Thorms also could do with a makeover ...
- lower and/or gruffier male voices. There already are such in the game, e.g. Ashrak
- Upper City
- on Hard and Hardest difficulty - randomisation of mook positions and numbers
- more exclusivity, i.e if you did X then Y is NOT possible. No barf worthy workarounds like knocking Minthara unconscious. Also - if you have X in party then Y will leave/turn hostile - e.g. Astarion and Halsin - how can a druid stand a perversion of the Natural Order like a vampire spawn within spitting distance?!?
- like others had said - more passage of time, best if day-night. Bring back Exhausted.
- Tadpole use could have consequences like Exhausted, temporary Spell Cell loss, etc.
- both Volo's and Hag's eyes should come with bonuses and drawbacks. Is it is Volo's eye is a no-brainer

-Meeting a nymph

Completely random request, I'm just obsessed with the illustration for them from 3e. And she needs to look like this or it doesn't count. (Cropped the rest because it's suggestive)

I just want more official sub classes (not mod added). And the Githzerai.

I did 4 complete PT's and several incomplete ones. 1500+ hrs of play. I rescued the gnomes and tieflings from Moonrise 3 times.
And now for the first time I got Bex' homemade cookies.
I want the option to take her to camp to become the camp cook.

That's a good point, in the dream BG3, there would be an option to hand over our spare admission passes to the lower city (I think you can get 3 total) to our tiefling friends or smuggle them into the city otherwise, and then help them to get settled in town. Bex and Danis have so many conversations about which jobs they want to take in the future, it would be fun to encourage Bex to start a baked goods stall. The story about the Grove-kids and Mol - who has forgotten all about them - would get a resolve and you would also be able to reunite Silfy and Mattis, possibly with the little twist that her brother is impressed by her new found business sense.

Yeah, but it's a long shot in patch 6 as it requires several things that can go wrong to work at intended

Yes, check the minimap where to get them, after you free Danis.
Who would want the "potent robe" if you can get this ?
Danis would come to camp also of course, He could do various chores, wash dishes, play with Scratch....

(Note, 10 cookies weigh 2 kilos, so they're quite solid.)

I think similarly it would've been good to get to know Yenna a bit. I've already said it'd be good to get a lot more scenes with the companions (imagine getting a friendship version of the Lae'zel sunset scene!) but it would've also been great with some NPCs.

I always get Beks cookies. I like her and her husband and giving me cookies is so cute, especially since she must have had a hard time making them in conditions like LLI. It's a really beautiful gesture.

-Return to Early Access personalities but especially for Shadowheart and Wyll
-Return to Early Access Dream Companion, let Emperor be what he was intended to be
-Return to Early Access party transformation subplot
-Re-connect the Nightsong plot with the Shadow Curse
-More direct involvement with Shar and Selûne
-Far more in-depth plotting around Viconia, especially with Jaheira and Minsc involved
-Finish Karlach's engine story because the choice between literal Hell and giant middle finger is kind of unsatisfying
-A way to deal with Gortash other than exploiting him over a cliff
-Rewrite the ultimatum leading into the final battle, it should not be about forcing someone to become an illithid
-Change Bomb Gale's epilogue so that its context doesn't leave Mystra looking explicitly like the pettiest jerk about it
-Underdark/Menzoborranzan expansion with Minthara, mostly aristocracy style
-As an extension to that, YES MORE EILISTRAEE

Menzoberranzan expansion themed around the aristocracy sounds so cool. I'd love to see Drow Architecture!

-Minthara would have two exclusive love scenes one for Act 2 and one for Act 3 regardless of the method you go about recruiting Minthara.
-Depending on the way how you choose to go with Minthara in the end, you 'll get a visceral cinematic scene with the two of you going to/ dealing with Menzoberranzan.
-All bugs and glitches associated with Minthara would be fixed, some tidbits of story elements would be also fixed to avoid contradictions.
-One minor side quest to the feline nature of Minthara and a bone you can pick with her for teasing with (insert player agency) can be both for good or bad reasons, after you mingled with a certain cat of noble vibes.
-Return of one legacy dialogue related to Minthara's pregnancy if Tav/Dark Urge is detected to be a male gender.

-Fix and/or enable a large portion of party banters currently not being played regardless of party composition.
-Have an enforced dialogue scene with Minthara in Act 1 the first time you encounter/ reach her proximity to decide whether you'll sneak and knock her out or outright kill or just choose to dialogue with, an approach that doesn't break the immersion and makes it feel less metagamed.

-Include a large amount of side content exclusive to an evil path of the game, more fleshed out options towards some of the morally bankrupt NPC's you otherwise cant side with in a good path.


Call me crazy but I'm quite content with Baldur's Gate 3 in its current form with just an addition to fix 1000 bugs assocaited with MInthara and have it more fleshed out in tandem with other companions.

During a necromancer playthrough, it would have been wonderful to use the Create Undead spell to summon a Death Shepard as a temporary fifth team member that can take over undead thralls and lead them. Or, alternatively, being able to select multiple thralls and then send them to one position with one click. I've spent quite some afternoons ordering a dozen thralls about, noticing we went the wrong way in the sewers, and then spending another thirty minutes to turn that train of rotten meat around on its tracks.
