Larian Studios Forums Active Threads Since Yesterday

Anyone familiar with online discussions about sword fighting has probably heard of this meme — where, accordingly to one historical fencing manual, if one wanted to end one’s opponent “quickly” (“reschlich”, falsely translated as “rightly”), one should unscrew the pommel of the sword, throw it at them, then follow it up with a melee attack.

It has been made fun of in online discussions everywhere because of how inefficient it would be to do this, and how little damage a thrown pommel would probably do if it just hit a helmet, or some other piece of armour. Yet, at the same time, there are a bunch of illustrations from the middle ages showing this exact move, suggesting it might be more than a joke, after all.

Since we already have Pommel Strike in the base BG3 game, I was wondering if a simple mod could add this? For starters, “End Them Rightly” could work exactly like Pommel Strike, but at range (Bonus Action, 1d4 of bludgeoning damage, “thrown” property, chance to daze). Any sword that has the ability Pommel Strike should also gain End Them Rightly through this hypothetical mod.

Because this ability would have the “thrown” property, therefore interact with Tavern Brawler and other abilities that boost throwing damage, though, it could be a lot stronger.

To “end them rightly” as described in the historical manuals, you would of course have to use the bonus action first, then attack the same target in melee once they’re dazed.

I'm having a similar problem on my Mac with the GOG version of BG3.

Recently, GOG Galaxy suddenly started giving me two launch options, Rosetta (Intel) and ARM64, which I had never seen before. Since then, I haven't been able to launch the game normally through GOG Galaxy. It either crashes/closes immediately or the launcher disappears after I click to start the game.

I discovered that I can launch the game manually like you, with the executable, and I have the same problem with the missing icons which are the real bugger because the launcher thing is not really a problem to play, but the icons....


I've done all this with no change:

* GOG Verify/Repair
* Deleted LevelCache
* Regenerated graphicSettings.lsx
* Regenerated modsettings.lsx
* Confirmed there is no Mods folder
* Tested with a completely fresh BG3 profile and a brand-new game
* Completely uninstalled and reinstalled BG3
* Tested the clean reinstall before restoring any of my saves
* Used the clean test profile provided to me directly by Larian Support (1280x720, Windowed, Very Low settings)


I've opened support tickets with both Larian and GOG and am waiting to hear back. I'll update here if either of them finds a solution.

The base one is ridiculously large and intimidating. The +1 version is much smaller, and quite the letdown.



Can you drag the +1's size slider to match?

Alternatively, is there a biggerererer weapons mod with slider?

I have more than 3000 hrs of BG3 play (EA included) and I don't know how many new games I started, but I don't think I managed to finish any PT entirely "good". BG3 really tests you and annoys you into doing evil things, and I suppose my natural allignment is chaotic in the sense that after a whle "enough is enough we need to teach these idiots a lesson" becomes unavoidable.

I'm talking about the citizen's reactions like, you save them from the Shahuagin. They all thank you so much. Then you see a fish-head lying on the pavement and take it. The citizens don't want this. And that makes me angry and I wack the idiot who wants to prevent me from taking MY fish-head. Then flaming fists show up and it becomes a massacre. Then things calm down. All the Shahuagin are dead. A bunch of flaming fists and civilians are dead too, but I have my fish-head. Have I done evil, I wonder ?

The worst thing I remember was in Act 1 : I set up the trap for Minthara, planning to save the grove. Zevlor and the tieflings on the wall all welcome the party warmly, telling me how much they rely on us to win this fight that would doom them all. Then I talk to Guex and he gets hostile. Because earlier I disapproved of Mol's thieving activities and putting the other children in danger. So Mol had spread rumours about us, and Guex now left us only one option : "attack". The game left us no other choices to persuade or intimidate him to stop this folly. So we had to attack him and all the other tieflings that had just celebrated our return bacame hostile also. And so I had to change my plans, fight and kill all the tieflings and let Minthara and the goblins enter.

Another one is the druid that is knocked out in the cave under the grove. I rescued him but he was a real ahole afterwards. So since then I just kill him while he's unconscious. I consider it a "blow of mercy" to put him out of his suffering, though it is probably evil.

So BG3, not possible to avoid evil 100% for me.

Hello, in my current PT, the party is at lvl 10. At this point I think it would be nice if one of my team could move 2 pts from their DEX score to WIS.
I know we can do this with respeccing, but that means building up the character from lvl 1 again. I was wondering if there isn't an easier mod/hack for this simple shift in specs.

Would love to see a Pseudodragon. Was always in most of the fantasy books as a Wizards companion but finding one in a video game has but been non-existent.
They were not any more advantageous than other similar pets but always thought they were cool.
