So I was doing the Last Light Inn abduction fight on my first Honor run, siding with the Harpers

Before the fight, I block the entrances of Isobel's room with chairs and jars so we don't get attacked from all sides, and trigger the fight.

Now obviously the chairs blocking the way are a tripping hazard, fire hazard and an accessibility concern.

Thankfully Jaheira is OSHA-trained so she immediately noticed this and used her first turn to cast ice storm on the chairs. This was BRILLIANT because it's a Dex save (chairs have very bad dex saves), and deals bludgeoning damage which most furniture is weak against. Thanks to her, Astarion was able to exit the room to slip on the ice and safely end his turn without dealing damage. Thanks Jaheira ❤️

PS: I know it's risky and unnecessary to do the abduction fight in HM but I got my golden dice on that very same first run so I was ok

I’m playing the game for the first time and texting my friend as I do. And they made me restart because I uh… I thought Astarian was a combat tutorial and killed him.

Oops.

I just started the game, currently at the goblin's camp, and I'm having a blast listening to this guy ahhahahah

Never played a Beast master Ranger until today, and I just realized how insanely OP Honeyed Paws is.

*Honeyed Paws: Lash out with paws sticky from honey and Disarm  your target. If it isn't holding any weapons, it falls Prone Prone instead.*

This is insane because the disarming and prone conditions are automatic, no saving throw. All your bear has to do is hit. Easy . Have your bear chug a strength elixir and keep him blessed or inspired and he’s guaranteed to almost always hit.

What makes it even more OP is that neutral NPCs ignore animals, and they don’t start dialogue or cut scenes. So your bear can just walk up to Kithrak Voss and knock his stupid silver sword right out of his hands in act 1. It’s incredible.

Now I’m looking forward to my bear knocking Mykuls stupid scythe out of his hands.

So I found these reactions to Orpheus telling Tav to turn into a mindflayer and honestly, I am torn whether to be glad they are bugged or not. I like some of them, especially Halsin's (THANK YOU very much, exactly!), but others just don't seemingly care about Tav all that much. Seriously, Gale, it "must" be me? And Laezel, sorry, but WTF? It's YOUR prince. The entitlement.

I’ve always been into video games but stopped playing in my mid 20s. I’m now 41 and recently bought a gaming PC. My wife and I started gaming together and played a few games together . It was an awesome way to connect and improve our communication skills.

I heard and read that Baldurs Gate was a good game but didn’t think I would get into it since it was a turn based game and I had mostly only ever played FPS games.

We purchased the Xbox pass and played through most of those that we could play together.

I finally decided to take the plunge, spend the money and start BG3.

At first we struggled to learn the play mechanics and all of the quirks . I would become quite frustrated and struggled initially with the fighting . I was pretty bad because I was so used to run and gun. My wife was a natural, she plays very strategic and she was very good.

Eventually I became more comfortable and we started strategizing together . As we went on, we became absolutely enthralled by the game. We were playing hours on end and just couldn’t get enough of it.

We are now almost 200 hours in and it’s our favorite activity to do together. I’m an anxious person , so I usually have a difficult time sitting down and doing something for an extended period of time . I’ve found that when I play my anxiety goes away. My partner and I have become closer and it’s been a nice way to connect and spend quality time .

We have just reached Baldurs Gate and it feels like a new game has been unlocked . I’ve recently purchase my step dad to join us and play, so we will be sharing a new game together .

Every time I play this game, my mind is blown at the amount of detail and surprises the game has.

I just wanted to share my experience and shout how fucking amazing this game is!

hello, I've never played any D&D games before, and just wanted to give it a try seeing it has overwhelming positive reviews. I know there is a lot of things in this game, and rhey all play a roll at some point or the other, but im just looking for the smoothest first time experience, as an introduction to the genre.

Edit: WOW! thanks for all the suggestions, I literally posted this 10 minutes ago or so, you guys are very helpful, imma go fighter and see what's up. Is this game as good as everyone says it is?

I just started my first playthrough, and I got 2 sickle swords that make laezel look completely badass. but if I actually use the dual wield option, it uses up both of my action slots. is the damage worth it or am I just wasting the extra action?

Edit: wow, thanks everyone for replying so quickly, this sub is really active lmao. I'll definitely be keeping laezel as a dual wielder thx, with some minor respecs.
