Baldur's Gate 3

[Psymonkee]

I haven't got to the upper city yet, please tell me that its not another open area like the lower one.

I cannot confirm or deny anything

Consider yourself lucky it's not the full city though

Just killed Gortash

I accidentally triggered a fight with him when I was actually doing something else in that place and won it easily. So now I can't be bothered to do the Steel watch Forge.

There is definitely some attempts to railroad you into certain things and order.

 

[Psymonkee]

Yes, a certain amount of railroading is very clear towards the end. Likely going into the Foundry broke any deal you might have made with Gortash...

killed a bunch of Gondian prisoners in the Iron Throne

 

[Noxia]

I had already been and rescued (a pitiful amount) which stopped the deal with Gortash, which is fine because I had no plan on how to tackle anything in particular.
Shart quest fight took only two attempts but was just annoying, not difficult. I don't see how you are supposed to deal with the darkness spell and it sucks you can't aoe into it either.

You killed a few dozen easily including the steel guys? That did not seem easy to me.

It was different for me because when I fought him there was only one steel watcher (and a few of the scrawny things) and it was on a different floor. I suspect this is because of something I did earlier that you hadn't done.

Can't drop a fireball where you can't 'see'. You the player can see but your character can't. To counter it try the daylight spell or Devil's Sight (Eldritch Invocation) which lets you see in Magical Darkness. As for the fight?

Spoiler: Sharran Temple

Some of the enemies have an ability called Radiant Retort which reflects Radiant damage you deal, doubled and as Force damage meaning you can self wipe very easily.

For the record I consider this terrible game design: It's in no way hinted at (unless I'm blind?) and invalidates high level Cleric spells and the Paladins entire schtick of Divine Smite

Got further than last time, it's act 3 specifically that really just doesn't work for me for whatever reason. I am just trying to reach the end but it feels a bit 'dirty' as I'm skipping so much etc.

 

[NeilFaz]

I didn't like that underwater prison part at all. I'm used to taking my time and don't like being rushed. But I guess they just threw that in for variety and change things up a little.

 

[Noxia]

Ai messed that up for me. The escapees got stuck waiting to get up the ladder and started doing weird things like running in the opposite direction.

He said that's what I was doing yet I have done more than he has!

 

[TNA]

So what's left to do for me if I just wanted to complete the game? Kill Orin and then I can cross over to kill the brain?

If I remember rightly yes.

 

[TNA]

Cool. I think I will probably do that then.

I do feel like I am almost done with the game. Got my moneys worth for sure
