Baldur's Gate 3

[Si.]

And relax...

Spoiler: Finished

Finished my first run-through.. Boy that end bit was hard.. once you start the section where you head of after elder brain and you can't go to camp anymore it's really hard to juggle spell slots. Also found the last battle against the Netherbrain confusing until I worked out you had to activate the crown and go through to fight the brain.

great game, looking forward to running through it again with the dark Urge..

Hope they do a DLC, they left it wide open at the end for one.

Just picked this up, maybe 1hr in so far. Haven't really played any DnD games since the original BG in the late 90s (which I loved). Really enjoying it so far.

But Baldur's Gate 2, and Icewind Dale 1 & 2!

I'm in to Act 3.

Whilst I’d done most of Chapter 3, have started again from scratch. Not even sure why, just felt like it. Just getting into Chapter 2

Started a coop game with the kids the other day. It's a lot more chaotic than my solo run...

 

[Si.]

just started a Dark Urge run through, hoping to get all the things I missed on my first run. Also running this time with lots of mods installed, 5e spells, double experience, Hexblade warlock etc.. and a level higher in difficulty to compensate

Spoiler: Start

Started out by getting the flaming sword from the start.. took me 3-4 attempts to get it

Unfortunately I have run out of lock picks.

And yes I scavenge everything and buy any the merchants are selling

Bring the vampire companion more often is my advice in that case.

Why is he so special?

Why is he so special?

His base lock picking score is something stupidly high like 20,so most locks are super eays with him

I found some +4 dexterity gloves on my playthrough, that and/or Astarion make your chances of sucess much higher, resulting in fewer lost lockpicks.

Karlach is a lock picking master! Give hammer, lock picked (right click, Examine on objects to see weaknesses!)


I'm on to my 3rd or 4th run now and I'm going with 'Oops! All rogues!' Should be fun!

I've played little else since August, worth every penny!

 

[Mr_Sukebe]

300+ hours here and still playing, which seems like reasonable VFM

 

[Punt]

I'm a little over 60 hours in and only at the end of act 1, I think. I did do a few restarts at the beginning when I couldn't decide what to play as.
Took me a while to get into it, a bit overwhelmed at the beginning I think. DOS2 also took me a few tries before it grabbed me and that turn into one of my favourite games.

 

[DampCat]

I 100%ed it, and when i looked back they added an achievement for Honour mode.

Fine, ill go again.

I love this game. The community is split wide between RPG players and romance simulation players.

 

[Subzero85]

Great game so it is, first playthough, im in moonrise towers act 2 so i am.

I hear ya, but on the other hand if you try to do everything you can easily get 150hr out of this game.

So you do get your money's worth.

Alternative'ish take. I got bored after two acts so never finished it but did enjoy 1.5 of the 2 acts which took me 40-50h so not bad.
