Re: New difficulty level

To me this makes no sense when you can already choose custom mode and configurate difficulty to your liking, besides there isn't going to be this kind of update coming to the game anymore unless you kickstart a fan made mod project.

New difficulty level
zac72
Yesterday at 12:38 PM
Hi, How do you see potential of having some new difficulty level, somewhere in between tactician & honor mode, where you would - lose some amount of experience - with every saved game reload? Does this make some sense, or not at all  Best regards, Zac

Re: Boots and Gloves

I always thought the armor system for boots and gloves was a bit awkward too, especially when you find a cool magical item and then realize your class can't use it because it's classified as medium or heavy. In my home games, we just handwave that a bit and go for what fits the story rather than the strict mechanics, because it can really kill the excitement when loot becomes useless for half the party.

Re: (spoiler) Help, Amulet of Bhaal vanished

Okay so I found everything. The amulet of bhaal was lying on the floor somewhere. I want to say I looked pretty thoroughly moving around and hitting x to search the area. I did fast travel back to wyrm’s crossing and then back to the murder tribunal. Maybe that “reset” something. Either that, or I was blind the first round. Either way I’m happy to continue the game.
About the stuff that I send to camp when exploring; I found it all in my box at the camp in Wyrm’s crossing, the box in lower city remains empty. I thought those boxes were interchangeable but I guess I’m mistaken

Have you ever found a solution? I’m in exact same situation except I don’t know for certain I ever had it in the first place. I defeated Sarevok but might have knocked him out instead of killing him. When I go back to the murder tribunal the question marker is still there but all the bodies are gone (everywhere else in the game bodies are still there).
I checked the box on my camp, and it had a lot of items missing. I dump a shit load there, so perhaps amulet of behaal too.
Really bumped out, this is my first play through 150 hours in and it seems like I can’t finish the story now??

Re: I'm sorry, returning to Hell with Karlach would make her heat shed problem way worse, not better

In D&D cosmology, Avernus is a layer of the Nine Hells which are part of the Outer Planes. These places don't necessarily follow physical laws, as the prime material plane/mortal plane does. Instead, they are shaped by the beliefs of mortals, the powers of the gods that live there and the other inhabitants, like fiends, celestials and so on. You have chasms of infinite depths, places where it's raining blood and deserts that drain your colours. I also wouldn't be surprised, if the overheating heart wasn't a flaw, but deliberate design by Zariel to secure her soldiers' loyalty. That said, I still think it would have been great to find Stygian or Canian (cold layers of the Nine Hells) ice somewhere and have Dammon and the Gondians finish the job.

I do see how that would add an interesting dynamic. Like, suddenly the cheese is missing and the person who's in the group for being a thief stood watch. Some characters will be more reliable than others, but not necessarily keen to watch the watchers every night.

Re: So why play Divinity ?
Soccer
01/06/26 07:45 AM
Personally, for introduction to divinity games, I recommend playing a Divine Divinity (Divinity : Sword of lies). It is a classic game, big world, a lot of fun quests and good story.
Divinity : Original Sin 2 is an obvious choice, best game in divinity series so far. If Larian would restore all cut content/characters for it in some patch, I will say it a perfect game. After all, if CD Projekt Red is making a DLC for 11 year old The Witcher game, while making a new one, which also is increasing hype for it, why Larian can't do the same?

Re: Are we going to see an Imp companion?

Maybe, developers should make a cute baby imp companion, with a name something like GrogGrogu? Lady players will love it and it will allow Larian to sell a lot of merchandise? Baby goblin will also work.

The Baldur's Gate 2 system was similar, but not quite what i'm hoping for.
You didn't decide:
who stood watch who slept lightly who was too injured to watch how secure the camp was
I also don't want to cling to my specific suggestions on how to do it,
just wanted to share the concept that maybe resting could generate stories of its own if done well.

Re: Astarion made a...tactically sus decision

I just now had my whole party run into Wyll's hunger of hadar. It didn't kill us, but not turn-based anymore we took a couple of hits before I managed to click to stop it. I suppose Larian doesn't consider it a bug. They probablly think this is funny. But, I do wish that next game will leave this type of loony tunes humour out. Or they could add a "zany" difficulty mode for the fans .

If I get a choice about that, I would rather have no resting in a computer game.
Otherwise what the OP suggests isnt exactly new. Thats basically what Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 had around 2000 already.

Re: High Core Count vs. Low Clock Speed: Trying to run BG3 on a refurbished ProLiant?
OrcLv3
30/05/26 08:31 AM
 was released back in 2004 and only requires a Pentium 4. Multicore CPUs didn't exist in the consumer market back then, so the game doesn't benefit from them at all. Additionally, server CPUs are designed with hypervisors and parallel workloads in mind rather than gaming. Since modern game engines are rarely optimized for massive parallel processing, your Xeon unfortunately combines terrible single-core performance with a high TDP of 185W.

That could be neat. Also it would be a nice match to their camp-time storytelling: if a character stands guard and wakes another, that’s a chance for storytelling. If a romance starts, do they wake another character? Does it bring conflicts in the party when the camp gets ambushed while the guard and their replacement have an emotional scene?

Re: Full Character Design ?
ArneBab

- height - width - fat amount - muscle amount - length of appendexes (arms and legs) relative to body size - size of hands and feet relative to body size Add posture (hunched/upright/?). And all of these multiply into a testing space. As a typical case take the kissing scenes (putting the hand on the cheek, touching the other hand, kissing, and then hugging). How many different variants of those scenes do you need when you can vary every one of those parameters? Do you remember the number of bugs in BG3 due to kissing between elves and dwarfs?

It`s 3 glitches with Arabella at grove
Arvin Lundstrom
30/05/26 12:49 AM
Update is that Locke and Komira is conversing with druids about releasing Arabella. They didn`t talk to druids before update, the save arabella quest was triggered when you enter druid chamber and see her. You are supposed to enter sacred pool with going to where the locke, komira and druids cinematic happen facing the druids. Update is elevator at the hollow but you can`t utilize it before you enter sacred pool. But you are able to jump and taking damage from elevator at the hollow to sacred pool. When you go to where Locke and Komira cinematic happen from behind you are teleported to be facing druids where you are supposed to be. This make you able to skip this cinematic and getting quest from Locke and Komira with enter druid chamber before trigger it. Because you don`t get Kagha quest from Locke, Komira and druids cinematic. When you talk to Kagha the conversion is different as before update. The Locke, Komira and Arabella cinematic is different and as before update. You are able to target Arabella before you get too close and the cinematic is triggered in druid chamber. Hitting Arabella with ranged attack make her not smooth fall move to lying pose. She just clip from standing to lying dead with blood. You get the snake killed Arabella quest update but druids attack you which they normally don`t. You are able to pick up humanoids, beasts and monsters that isn`t too heavy compared to companion strength. If you drop Halsin or another corpse or steal idol before you enter druid chamber and Arabella cinematic begin. Dropping beasts you picked up don`t cause this. The druids and tieflings kill themselves outcome is triggered. The druids leave druid chamber to fight tieflings. When you enter druid chamber Arabella is removed. You see blood where Arabella normally spawn but she is gone and spawn nowhere else.

I got to ancient forge at grymforge in day 2
Arvin Lundstrom
30/05/26 12:23 AM
The chosen companion is female light brown beast tamer forest gnome sage ranger Frida. Frida start with abilities STR 13 DEX 15 CON 11 INT 15 WIS 12 CHA 11. Lae`zel is companion in mind flayer ship but then isn't the time to when you are able to defeat githyanki close mountain pass before update In update version Lae`zel spawn right after Gale, Astorion and join you. The goblin attack close to the gate on tieflings and humans happen with Lae`zel this time. Things is peaceful and enhanced after. You are supposed to go north, enter the grove, talk with them what is happening currently and find things to complete. But there is nothing stopping you from going west to goblin camp, ally yourself with goblins, drows and kill Halsin before you enter the grove. This sequence breaking screw up quests and conversions. I did no more fights after fight close grove entrance to to make it to worg pens. Doing this make you go to level 3 when you reach goblin camp quick from entering area XP. Companions killed Halsin and Lae`zel picked up 1 Halsin. Baldur`s Gate 3 is very flexible with saving progress. You are able to save anytime except during conversions. You are able to load any of many saved status and ongoing events in areas the time you saved. You are able to load saves anytime except during cutscenes. You are able to have infinite saves. If you fail ability check you keep loading save to when you succeed. This make you able to succeed any ability checks that you don`t have to get max roll that`s higher then your modifier max. I utilized detect thoughts INT check with Frida to overcome goblins in blighted village and goblin camp with no fight. Lockpick box items doors and intelligence checks has often succeeded in 1 try. If you don`t kill Halsin, talk to goblin priestess and Minthara you keep actions. I went west close to halfling trader and entered priestess quarters door in goblin camp. I skipped fighting the 2 minotaurs and bulette with jumping. Just Lae`zel had to make it to myconoid colony and other companions fast traveled to waypoint. Sell all items you don`t need in fight, buy, utilize useful items like elixir of hill giant strength and smoke powder bombs. Glut being able to revive the minotaur the temple outpost killed as spore servant ally is useful. Minotaur doesn`t begin with max HP. But when you drop health potions you are able to select them at ground with minotaur and be healed to max HP. I surprised attacked duergar with minotaur at beach. All companions died except Frida. Frida couldn't leave with boat during combat but i fled combat with Gekh duergar alive. I did go to camp, to underdark beach again and saved. Then just Frida and her beast did sail away with boat. You are supposed to kill all duergars at beach before sail with boat but i didn`t need After going to camp and to underdark beach Glut spawn where you are. I failed the duergar boat charisma check many times and did keep hearing no way a mushroom killed Gekh. Get her fellas. With 2 HP i often was defeated immediately when duergar began and hit Frida. When you always succeed ability check if you keep load save i did do so. Duergar think i killed Gek but i didn`t. I anchored sequence breaking at grymforge before i been to and talked to any humanoid and got any quests in the grove. I resurrected Gale, Shadowhearth and Lae`zel at grymforge with Withers. I did collect idol of shar, did make it to ancient forge in grymforge and fought armor enemies in day 2. Before the first mind flayer tadpole guardian cinematic happened. Then my action was spent and i had to end the day.
