Re: Baldur's Gate 3
Ha! I love Stellaris, but “interminable” is a great adjective to describe some of my end games, too. Great game, but it definitely drags in the end game and starts to feel a little like work.Kraken wrote: Sat Jun 29, 2024 11:47 amNot yet.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3
It seems like you should, I know I get a popup to use sneak attack as an option. What's funny is I can select it after the shot hits so I only take it if they didn't die. Here are my skills, none of them mention sneak attack, but I do get it:
Sharpshooter
Archery
Assassin's Alacrity
Assassinate: Ambush
Assassinate: Initiative
Dread Ambusher
Extra Attack
Sharpshooter Low Ground
I also have the Illithid powers:

Re: Baldur's Gate 3
If I want a character who has the initiative to pass, and save his points for the end of the round, is there a "wait" button? Seems you can only move/act and end turn.
Also this is the first game I've ever seen where I couldn't customize my character's hair color and facial hair, but had to choose a penis.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3
While there is a mechanism for delaying actions in 5e D&D, this is not something's they implemented in BG3. Each character has to take their turn in the order determined by initiative, whether it fits your ideal battle plan or not.Kraken wrote:If I want a character who has the initiative to pass, and save his points for the end of the round, is there a "wait" button?

You'll learn to work around the limitation, but I can think of at least one situation where it was pretty annoying...a fight with a powerful creature that always focused its attack on the last character to damage it. My initiative in that battle (which took a few tries to win) often put Gale as my last character before the enemy turn, essentially removing his usefulness for the fight. If I ever used him to do damage, the enemy would turn its attention directly at him and practically wipe him out with a single attack due to his low HP and AC. I had to think of other ways for a mage to be useful in that situation.

You can hit "end turn" (or just do one melee attack first) and all of your action points will be available for the next round.

They don't accumulate though. If you have 5 AP and end turn, you will still have 5 next round, not ten. It does mean you don't have to waste your AP while waiting for the enemy to get in range.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3
Since you are still in Act 1 there is little of import that you can't go back and check out. Just hold off on completing Act 2 until you are satisfied you have exhausted Act 1. Until you go for the boss in Act 2 you can still revisit Act 1 areas.Kurth wrote: Thu Jul 11, 2024 12:18 am I'm now 30 hours into this game, and I succumbed to reading a very thorough walk-through of Act 1.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3
You can't do that in this game. There are so many choices to make that will affect the story, that you really just have to make your choices as you go and live with the consequences. The other options and missed content are for another play through. If you play it any other way you'll never make it to the end.Kurth wrote: Thu Jul 11, 2024 12:18 am I'm now 30 hours into this game, and I succumbed to reading a very thorough walk-through of Act 1.

I think i reloaded twice on my first play through. One was because I earned a pre-mature false ending and the other was because I REALLY didn't like the result of a choice I just made. Other than that I lived with what happened and moved on.

You can customize your character's hair colour, as well as facial hair. The different customization options are listed the right side of the "Edit appearance" screen. By default you are in the General mode, but you can switch to Body Art, Eyes, Makeup, Hair or Facial Hair, although the last option is only present for those races that have facial hair. There are no bearded elves, apparently.Kraken wrote: Tue Jul 09, 2024 1:17 pm Also this is the first game I've ever seen where I couldn't customize my character's hair color and facial hair, but had to choose a penis.

You need to right-click on the door/chest/whatever to bring up a context menu which will have an option to pick the lock. You also need to have at least one thieves' tool in order to attempt the skill check. The tools are a consumable item, but only get used up if you fail the skill check.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3
After all this time I found another game mechanic you can take advantage of. It is a bit convoluted, so bear with me. It concerns the Warlock (or Eldritch Knight) spell Pact Weapon, which allows you to permanently bind a weapon to you, even one you are not qualified to use, and then you will be able to use it. The Baneful is a good example, as its effects only come out as a bound weapon.
Here's the trick: One you have bound a weapon you can re-spec into any class you want and the weapon remains permanently bound to your character. That's right. So anytime I am denied the use of a weapon, I am going to re-spec into a Warlock, bind it, and re-spec again.
I love contemplating the possibilities.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3
BG3 is specifically designed to be played multiple times. The intended way to do it is initially with a custom character, followed by replays with any of the origin characters (who are also the fully developed companions you will meet in the game) so that you can experience the story from their perspectives. And then there's the Dark Urge playthrough for the batshit insane chaotic evil experience.

You can try to resist the urges, but I'm not sure it's possible to have a completely atrocity-free Dark Urge playthrough. There is a sort of virtue in making the effort to be a good person, and occasionally failing horribly.

I remember Act 1 taking the longest, but there's a ton to do in Act 3 as well so that definitely could be the longer act.
I still want to get back to a Dark Urge run-through here, but the game takes so long I'm a bit intimidated on starting a new game.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3
Is there any downside to going to one's campsite really really often? Is the game keeping an elapsed time counter that doesn't like me to sleep a lot?
Conversely, does the game track fatigue and punish one for not sleeping enough?
I usually go camping when I take damage after my first short rest. The second short rest is an emergency backup nap that I don't like to rely on.
At my age, I know about emergency naps.
Conversely, does the game track fatigue and punish one for not sleeping enough?
I usually go camping when I take damage after my first short rest. The second short rest is an emergency backup nap that I don't like to rely on.
At my age, I know about emergency naps.

Just be sure to loot all containers for food. You can right click on it and send it to camp so you don't have to lug it around.Kraken wrote: Thu Aug 29, 2024 2:08 am Is there any downside to going to one's campsite really really often? Is the game keeping an elapsed time counter that doesn't like me to sleep a lot? No. There are some events that only happen when you take a long rest.
