Re: Abdel, who? papercut_ninja 48 minutes ago
I think people sometimes approach the "evil route" too narrowly. As in, playing the evil route means you have to choose the most despicably evil option at every opportunity. Then it ends up being very cartoony murderhobo.

But it is perfectly possible in BG3 to help everyone and gain their trust and support and turn around at the very end, dominate the elder brain and enslave everyone. The game allows for nuances and morally gray if you wish to play that way. You can sometimes help people for personal motives and at other times sell them out because it fits your purposes. There are many variations of game states in the end that sets up a world with both good and bad consequences depending on what you decided to do with the elder brain, crown, Orpheus and various other personal choices for the companions and dark urge.

I literally dont want to know how that romance goes, thank you very much.

Btw even if he wasnt such a creep, I'm a straight dude, I dont care about romances with any male charaters.

And how is the game script supposed to magically know the sexuality of the player?

This goes both ways, the female characters tries to romance the player character as well, even if the player is a straight female or gay male. So by that standard, everyone is a creep.

The game handles it by simply giving you the option to reject them. I don't know what you expect from the game unless you are willing to take a survey and register your sexuality before the game even begins.

Re: Not useless Arcane Trickster guide/build Halycon Styxland 2 hours ago
Why yes Arcane Trickster is the way to go if you want a pure thief. Pure Swashbuckler might also be good.

For example on AT you can place your invisible Mage Hand next to any mob and always get Sneak Attack.

Assassin(3) is for Gloomstalker, Thief(3) is for all kinds of builds that want an extra bonus action. Both classes are very frontloaded, with little afterwards.

Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Jump to new posts
Re: LariLauncher.exe and VSync Malph 15/08/26 07:29 PM
I fixed the problem.
I uninstalled the GOG software and then reinstalled it.
It didn't recognize BG3. Before manually specifying the game folder, I deleted the contents of the “Launcher” folder in BG3.
I went back to the GOG Launcher and manually located the game folder.
It automatically started the update/verification process, and after that, everything worked normally.
Previous attempts to “Check/Repair” were unsuccessful.
It’s probably enough to just delete the contents of the “Launcher” folder and run verify/ repair.

VSync problem is under bg3.exe which is Vulkan.
DX_11 works normal.

Discord requires a phone number Redglyph 15/08/26 04:40 PM
Why do the users need to give their phone number to verify the identity?

Firstly, it's a little disappointing from a privacy point of view. I have no idea who's going to have access to that information, nor how it might be used. Privacy in the US isn't much of a concern most of the time.

Secondly, it doesn't allow to verify the identity, as it claims to do, so I'm not sure what the point is. The only possibility it offers is preventing people from using two different accounts, I suppose, although I'm not sure it actually does (I don't have two accounts nor the motivation to try).

Has this requirement been enabled by mistake, and would it be possible to remove it?
