Baldur's Gate 3

Yeah I didn't experience that either. Also didn't realise how much there was to do at the crossing. Done all I can for now before you visit Gortash and then get access to the actual city.

You missed the circus too? I did not go in there btw. Could not be asked at the time.

TNA · 29 May 2024 at 11:26

Was just looking back. Seems I only got into the game 2 weeks ago or so. I was thinking it would take me 3 months like @opethdisciple but at this rate will only take me 1 month if that :cry:

Bank holiday weekend helped a bit. As I can't play more than an hour or two during the week unless I sacrifice sleep

Noxia · 29 May 2024 at 11:43

No I did the circus stuff. I was just a bit past this area when my last playthrough stalled.

How many hours have you clocked up? I'm not sure my exact hours as I'm at work but it's about 160hrs I think.

Less than 70. Was just over 65 hours for first two chapers. That is in game timer by the way which I think is more accurate as I left the game for long periods on many occasions.

Oh but the circus is fun! :cool:

My first playthrough took 144 hours but I also did it without searching for solutions so done quests took a while :cry:

TNA · 29 May 2024 at 13:30

Yeah will go in the circus, just did not fancy it last night as was about to finish playing anyway.

Is there lots of xp in there?

If you've only played about 70hrs then I can only think you haven't done all the quests or explored fully.

Sounds like a murderhobo run and skipping half the dialogue to me

I spun up a new game again recently and one of the first items you can interact with heavily hints at end game content. Nothing goes to waste in this game :cool:

99% of my potions and spell scrolls do.

Well ok, consumables go to waste - I'll give you that :cry:

All the quests, probably not. Though I have explored all or almost all obvious places. Also a bunch of not so obvious ones.

I think I just kill a lot more than chat. Like for a example the goblins. Did not chat with them much at all :cry:

Hey, at least I play that role in a game. You on the other hand...

I'm already playing it IRL I'll have you know.

TNA · 29 May 2024 at 22:34

Not far if level 11. Killed half the clowns in the circus.

Cheating **** had to go

I'm actually avoiding conflict as much as possible on this run.

Offtopic, didn't realise you're a politician.

My first play through took about 100 hours, and I didn't even have Wyll or Karlach in my party, completely missed them both on the play through

TNA · 31 May 2024 at 07:05

Managed to play about 3 hours or so. Level 11 now

Done a few quests and cleared all of the map and ready to go to the lower section. Will come back and go over everywhere to make sure I have not missed anything later.

At the bit now with the bridge that is not lowered. Now I have a pass and could ask them to let me through. But on the other hand I see loads of xp! So killed them all and then started scratching my head as to how to cross :cry:

At first I flew over with one character but that started a battled immediately with loads more than the 3 steel things I had killed. So thought sod that. Then I flew to the bottom of the map. Now I can do that with my main character that has the ability, but my other 3 do not. Sure I could use scrolls on them. But even better, they could jump down. Each jump took out over 50hp haha. But one press of short rest fixed that

Now about to head back up and sneak in and slowly kill them all. Might be level 12 with all the xp up here
