You can get the hammer without talking to him, you'd just miss out on the sword he gives you.
Thanks for your reply Saeran, and for giving me hope my playthrough isn't at an end. I have the hammer, but I was meant to meet Vos in the sewers to then go into the prism and free Orpheus. Is there another way/path, other than with Vos's aid?
Larian tech support said they know its a known bug, but couldn't provide more help than that.
Another minor thing I noticed...if you hold off on telling your companions of your urge to kill, then the Alfira scene happens, the companion responses are the same "everyone has intrusive thoughts " answers. I think the responses should be way different because from a role play perspective it's immersion breaking.
Huh. My monk/sorcerer usually misses with the Larethian Staff but then hits with her follow up fists & kicks... And ends up with plenty blood on her face
I carry Corellon's grace also, for the unarmed bonuses. But as an open hand monk I get the option for an unarmed stunning strike action. Now, at level 6, even 2 per turn + bonus flurry of blows. I feel like Muhammed Ali when I see those enemy hitpoints go up in the air. But no, not a drop of blood to be seen on me.

But I have to wonder IF you use your action on Unrelenting Ferocity to Heal, and don't make an attack...your Rage ends, NO??!?? This would kinda break that subclass IMHO
Not necessarily. Rage only ends if you both don't attack AND don't take any damage. Presumably, if you're using the heal, it's because you took damage no?

They will mostly be too heavy. You will be able to throw Goblins and that's about it. Regular humanoid sized enemies require 20 Str to be thrown.
I thought that SH/Wyll banter was also about his horns, because I also got it once before I picked up Karlach. Now that I think about it, it makes sense it's about the tadpole.
Good Day ALL & Happy Gaming to YOU!! Thanks for any & all Advice in Advance!!
My old PC needs to be replaced and I've been forced to start a 2nd character/campaign with my OG one only about 5.5 level due to constant crashing... Merry Christmas New PC to me soon-ish!
Anywho, I went with Barbarian 1 to start & then added 2 levels of Storm Sorcerer. The fly after casting ability is Sweet since so often there are Goblins above or to get out of reach when needed!! Since I'm running with LZ & Wyll in the first group I decided to just switch up to Karlach & Gale this run. I mean, Cleric, duh? Am I Right?!? Guess I'll have to play one to leave Shadowheart behind...
Got to say, and it is certainly NOT the first time, that Larian missed the mark on not having Karlach's Soul Coin empowered Infernal Fire apply to her Elk-Heart Barbarian Primal Stampede! It specifically says it applies to both unarmed & weapon attacks...How would the Stampede Damage not be done with knees, stomps, elbows and or Shield & Weapon on her Run-By??!? If I was playing table top, I have to think that this would be ruled to apply by 99% of DMs.
Last ??? I am still considering 2 more levels of barbarian for my Storm Sorcerer too; but pondering the SubClass options... I like the Bear Heart for her as the additional resistance could certainly come in handy in upper levels and MOAR Healing is always good!! But I have to wonder IF you use your action on Unrelenting Ferocity to Heal, and don't make an attack...your Rage ends, NO??!?? This would kinda break that subclass IMHO
Berzerker for an extra attack when we really want to just whack something down would be great; but only for a few rounds with those -1 to attack stacking quickly. Also, due to needing balanced bonuses across my abilities, I only have 14 str...will that be enough to use the Enraged Throw on enemies?? Or will most of them be too heavy?
Eagle Heart looks cool too for the increased movement; and Diving Strike looks fun, specially for this Gith girl who can already jump far & fly!!?!!
Picture If You Will - a tall, lithe Gith with the Everburn Lightsaber bouncing around the battle like Yoda vs. Count Doku Who can also throw Thunder & Lightning around!!
But it's already 1.5 month since BG3 was broken on macOS. Not only the platform is left in this state for so long, but also the fact it was broken with Patch 7 means there's little to no testing taking place on macOS.
It's so weird. I sent the chest to camp and continued the adventure. Everything looks fine. Next stop is the plunder of the Zentharim hideout. They have some traps to disarm, was fine. Gates to lockpick. Went fine. Behind the gate, 2 chests that are trapped and locked. Wanted to disarm them and got the same problem. No dice shown, and very slow, stuttering animation and sound. So it looks like a chest problem, as the doors and traps don't have it. Restarted and sent those 2 chests also to camp.
Then I went to camp and tried to disarm and lockpick the 3 chests from the traveler's chest, and it worked.
Meanwhile in one of my restarts, the game totally reset itself. ( Got the first run question about nudity, the light/contrast test again, and the tutorial reset without asking me. Also my windows options were reset and all mods disabled.) After repairing options and mods I found I had two travelr's chest in camp now.
Me and my 4 close friends are waiting for over a year now...this would be the perfect Christmas gift!! But honestly, why is this taking so long? Is it really that hard? Even if it's not perfect, please release something, you can fix it later
Larian communicated that it wouldn't be until AFTER mod support had been successfully dropped, that includes any bugs and kinks that needed to be addressed, which is not something they can just leave for the back burner. They also never gave a specific date.
Hi, I’m waiting on a playable Shadar Kai species mod to get the nod, and I’m pretty sure most people would like to see species, class, subclass, etc. various build options before they care about the sheer number of dice aesthetic mods out there.
The gunner feat, firearms, the swashbuckler rogue, all of these sound like they’d be more in demand than “pretty dice” and “starting weapons better.”
I’ve also heard a rumor that Larian is waiting until they fix the bug that crashes the game while mods on console.
Can we get some communication from Larian on where this issue stands? How close is the issue to resolved? What is the current standard waiting period for a mod to get the nod to console?
Any information I think from Larian proper would be greatly appreciated, and would likely go a long way to cool heads from the amount of spammed modder rage that’s been on this part of the forums.
Hello! Just to clarify some of the questions here!
We recently shared some information about an upcoming Hotfix that will limit the amount of mods on console. You can read more over here: https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=954087#Post954087 This hotfix specifically aims to prevent instability, reduced performance, and crashes when playing with more than 100 mods on console.
When it comes to race mods, this is a slightly different issue. While race mods are generally accepted, the team is currently investigating an issue with them sometimes crashing on console. While the team investigates, we have paused the approval of mods that add new races. If you are the creator of one, please feel free to still mark your applicable mods for console testing. Thank you for your patience! As this one is taking some more time to investigate, it will not be included in the upcoming hotfix. But rest assured the team is on the case.
As stated above your comment, as well as in a post by Salo in the forum and on the discord- the updates/mods to console are PAUSED until the hotfix goes live, not to mention the process that goes into creating, and testing mods, and unfortunately comments like this will not speed up the process. I would recommend you continue to try and be patient.
Could you atleast forward to Larian that they instabtly allow updates of already approved mods because now we’re 20 versions behind certain mods and we stay with their bugged version
Hello! Updates to any mod need to for through the same testing process, as updates could change any aspect of a mod and they need to be checked to ensure that they don't include elements that are not supported in other platforms: https://mod.io/g/baldursgate3/r/modding-guidelines This is a reason why we recommend mods are only marked for console when no more updates are expected (but it's understandable that some mods will need updates anyway!)
The team is currently testing several updates for mods that are already live on console and you will start seeing those live soon!
As Peachy mentioned, we'll be postponing console curation while we prepare to ship the hotfix! While the team will continue to test mods, we will set the next batch of mods for console live after the hotfix goes live. We will share more info about the Hotfix very soon, in the meantime we appreciate your patience!

This is just so out of character for Larian to ignore this... I mean, they have always been so supportive of the community. It probably is true that Mac-players are a small group, but a single tweet, like, Mac users we see you, bear with us... and some Halsin meme... would be nice. Instead, not a word of attention while some of us cannot play their favorite game in the world for so long. With no solution in sight and completely no clue on when to even expect it.
So true. I'm dealing with a lot of mental health crap due to material conditions (and the material conditions themselves, obviously), and BG3 was the only thing that made my existence a tiny bit brighter. Now even being able to play an older version of the game doesn't help, because apparently Larian are the same as any other run-of-the-mill corporate entity.
Both of them are making the icons smaller and gives you more informations.
Beside of these mods he has a few more, really I can only recommend them, all of them are great and extremly lightweight on size, Im on ps5 myself so I know how it is with mods and that we have to exactly look what we are installing. But Im using them myself and zero problems. Just check them out

The mod that I am interested in being on console and why I want this problem to be fixed is the mod to be able to go up to level 260 to feel like a god in the game. I hope it gets resolved soon
Hello. I am aware that there are some console issues and that there may be a pause on reviews. My request is for a review as soon as it is reasonable, that is all.
I have a Random Spawn mod that also includes difficulty increase options for players and think it would be very well-received. There IS a dependency, also one of my mods, but it is very easy to test (it's basically just a bag for collecting my mod items). If you have any problems with the mod while reviewing it, please do let me know and I will be happy to handle any issues that come up. Thanks!
There isn't a specific turnaround time for this process, and they aren't able to share any additional information outside of what we have been told.
Mod Authors can let Larian know if they’d like to see their mod available on console and Mac after uploading their mod with the BG3 Toolkit. The Community Team will then check whether the mod adheres to our modding guidelines, before sending over batches of mods to undergo internal checks that look at the mod’s basic functionality, usability, and stability.
Technical limitations on certain platforms mean that some PC mods will not be available for Mac or console.
If all looks good after the testing, the mods will then be made available on these platforms!
Yes, but first prioritizing what seems like an overabundance of dice mods, and then pandering to people who crashed their games by using an inordinate (nigh on obnoxious) number of mods with their Hotfix instead of ignoring those people for later and advising them for the time being that a number that high is not sustainable, and instead focusing on testing and supporting a diverse array of mods to be released for everyone else who plays more reasonably makes far more sense.
Yeah, agreed. I believe that Larian has their own principles in defining priorities, which may not necessarily align with the expectations of players. Maybe they could provide some explanations regarding the priority of MOD checks and the expected time required.
There has been communication in the Official Discord regarding this. Console updates/published mods are paused until the Hotfix goes live, but they are still testing the mods in the meantime!
