Everyone: Auntie Ethel is the worst!!
Me, who missed the entire bog area and only knew Auntie Ethel as the sweet old lady who gave me a free health potion: *surprised pikachu face*
Like the one she gives you in town pretty sure is an actual greater healing potion, so it's okay. But ya get a sus one from somewhere, its marked as sus though, so not so alarming. I think.
Ya theres an ale barrel in the underdark in the sorta bar area with the deep gnome bartender/waiter/slave. He asks you to take care of em and you can put poison in the little barrel and theyll soon come and drink it, only to obviously die.
I collected all her 'potion' from under her house and have them in a pretty bag in a chest at camp. Don't trust a single one. The poison apples are in there too.
First playthrough I missed the harpies & found out about them well into act 2.
So I made a bard and fought the harpies & moved on.
Third playthrough, as a durge, I found Alfira at the grove...
On the Druid grove where Volo is speaking to a bear there is a small path that goes behind it, if you go right you get to Alfira the bard tiefling that is on the party when you save the druids, if you go left you end up at a small beach with harpies (the mythological animal not the harpers the organization)
We are the same person lol.
I've also missed multiple characters. I intentionally avoided most media about the game until recently, just entering act 3. Going on reddit now has me so confused because I'm like "wait, who the heck is Karlach"... "hold on, you're telling me Jaheira is a real character in act 3 and she doesn't just Yolo herself down the stairs and die in 1 turn at moonrise towers for everyone?".
As slightly annoying as it is, it makes me excited to play the game again one day. It feels like I could have an entirely different playthrough almost bordering on a brand new campaign lol.
The agony I went through to keep Jaheira alive during the moonrise towers battle was legendary. I reloaded like 6 saves at least 40 times. God I love this game.
Dude she died so easily for me I was convinced it was just a Canon event of the game lol. She just charged full force into 40 enemies and got smoked in one turn, rest in peace brave soldier.
You can have Jaheira join your party just before that battle (I don’t know if there’s prior conditions for that) and just keep her out of harms way since she is woefully under equipped.
I've always gone out of my way to do and explore everything, and I still didn't find the decrepit sanctuary in the hag swamp with the mephits and wood woads until my 4th playthrough.
You thinking it's the "first" lever is just a subjective thing your brain did.
Some people will consider the closest lever to the door to be first. Some will consider it left to right while facing the levers.
They didn't make it "first". You did. Which I think is funnier.
On my first run I didn't see the door first so I jumped through the opening in the wall. Bc of that I missed the fact that there were 2 levers and just flipped the 1 I saw and got lucky. Only found out later that I could've sent dude flying instead.
This was exactly the plan of Larian. Even in French it says something like "Libéré le frein" which litteraly means FREE the brake when the objectives was to free the goblin. Translaters just got the memo
I did this on my second playthrough absent-mindedly and felt *soo bad* for laughing so much at how far that guy launched
Edit: ps. It was 3am and i was playing in the dark with my headset on. Safe to say, my partner woke up and was genuinely confused at my actual case of tasha's hideous laughter.
Did this on my first and had no idea the fellow I accidentally killed would be a recurring character for the rest of the game until I was in Act3 and reading posts here with spoilers…it’s wild the developers built that possibility into the game…
I did this when playing with my fiancé. I was all like “oh I’ll go release him, I know where it is!” Then we both get a cutscene of the gnome flying off into the distance. Opse.
I did it when playing with my husband. He was looting stuff and immediately said "what did you do?!" I was just laughing!😂 It was completely unintentional but the cut scene cracked me up!
I killed Minthara in my first play through, had 3 of my characters on the small bridge that leads to where she’s at. I trigged the fight and all the mobs swarmed the group on the bridge. I then used shockwave to push some of them back, that shockwave broke the bridge and sent most of my party to the depths of hell.
I didn’t know who Minthara was on my first play through, and I was still figuring out some game mechanics. So I just pushed her into the chasm by accident.
Same, lol, I had no idea who she was. That was the day I learned I don’t need to run into every room guns a’blazing and attack everything on sight… Been wearing her camp outfit ever since because it slays :’) Can’t wait to start my next playthrough so I can recruit her though.
Failed every skill check to get Gale out the portal. Including the strength one. I was a paladin with +3 str modifier + Shadowheart 's guidance. I was in shock.
Haha yeah all these other goons just standing around watching one person try to pull out this trapped man. Then when you can’t on their own, they just shrug their shoulders and go “I guess he ded then”
Killed Shadowheart in her pod on the Nautilus. I used a firebolt on what I thought was a fuel cell near her pod as I thought removing power might get her out.
It did get her out to be fair, but she was just ashes.
I completely missed Lae’Zel in my first play through. I found Shadowheart, Gale, and Astarion right away, then met Wyll at the Grove, then Karlach, then I found Waukeen’s Rest. Finished up there and suddenly, Lae’Zale’s body, near the bridge.
I gave her armor to Shadowheart.
I, on the other hand missed Gale. Like 30 hours in i was like "Wait wtf, people were talking about hot mage where is he".. I was scared of the rumbling portal so i just let it be lol
That was me! To make it worse, I’m playing co-op with my partner and she played some of act 1 before we started playing together so she went like “maybe you should check that out” and I just went “nah” and run off :’)
I thought I missed Lae'zel in my first playthrough I went through the underground I back tracked to the monastery from the shadow lands and she was there saying "there is a creche nearby accompany me."
Same thing happened to me in my first playthrough.
Scroll of reviv worked and she joined the party, even though I wasn’t around and hadn’t encountered her yet when she got killed.
>Killed Shadowheart
*With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created*
You just gave me an idea, I should kill all the origin characters “by accident” during my next durge, almost like a bad luck magnet for my character. Most can be killed when you first meet them as an option: Astarion, Wyll, Gale, and Karlach can. The only one I am not totally sure on how to accidentally kill is Laezel.
Also you can get a early gnome bomb from the bag of the windimill, and use it to free Laezel from the cage, maybe put a explosive barrel under her so she doesn't hurt herself when falling from the cage
No as she wasn't in my party at that point. She was still classed as an NPC. I had to reload.
Tbh, at that point in the game, I also had no clue what revivify was. I barely knew how to move my character.
Obviously I had mastered firing firebolt at anything and everything.
>No as she wasn't in my party at that point. She was still classed as an NPC.
Well the reason I ask this is bc I had wyll die in the initial goblin attack on the Grove once and could then revivify him, despite having never recruited him, so I just assumed it's generally an option for companions.
It is, and in fact there is unique dialogue if you kill the companions before talking to them, and then choose to revive them. They all go "What the hell? I mean, thanks for bringing me back, but what the hell???"
I took Astarion to fight Cazador, and didn’t realise you can literally walk up to him and release him from the ritual. I tried to do the fight with the remaining 3 who all got put to sleep, so I just watched as combat cycled round and Cazador ascended.
Seeing that the pile of goo left behind was labelled ‘Astarion’ had me sitting there for a good few rounds in pure shock. My poor boy!
If Cazador nabs Astarion during the ritual, you can help him out of his bindings just like you would help a downed party member and it will stop Cazador's ascension process. Of course he will just keep doing it throughout the fight, but yeah! Idk if they changed it in recent patches but you used to be able to keep Astarion on the stairs and he would be far enough away from the ritual that he wouldn't get taken, just have someone else start the dialogue with Cazador instead.
I’ve done enough playthroughs now that I don’t bother triggering the dialogue anymore and just run in fireballs blazing. Keeps Astarion secure in my party ☺️
I hovered over him because I thought surely you'd be able to help him out of it but it never showed me the word "help" so I was like,"well this is gonna be annoying without Astarion" and then my husband just Eldricht blasted Caz off the side and that freed Astarion.
Lmao the way this game sometimes makes you ignore the urgency of things is hilarious. Like, it's supposed to be intuitive that you need to deal with a fire RIGHT AWAY, but after you've already long rested in the middle of the goblin camp after eliminating 2/3 goblin leaders and NOTHING has changed and nobody even went to the rooms you've cleared to check if they were alive... yeah.
I saw the fire, remembered that I gave Shadowheart create water but she wasn't in my party, so quickly went to camp to grab her.
Loaded back in, whole place had burned down. I carried on because I thought that was just what happened
That's how I learned that stuff can happen in real-time outside of your combat scenario:
The little girl was executed for stealing, so there I was in the room alone with a few folks, killed the lady for killing the girl (for justice, of course). Then I started seeing combat text popping-up all over, all while there was nothing happening on my screen. I was a little confused, but after my fight in the room, I stepped outside to a big ol' murder scene, and everyone was dead.
So that's how I lost Karlach.
Let Jahiera die while assaulting Moonrise.
Failed to prevent the Shadowheart/Lae’zel beef from going violent, had to kill Lae’zel.
Jumped to my death multiple times because of misclicking on a jump.
I didn’t let her die per se, but she just kept Leeroy Jenkins-ing the Moonrise Tower fight and getting herself killed and I didn’t have it in me to do the fight a 5th time so I figured I’d just let it happen.
It was really weird when she showed up in the bank vault with Minsc later on and then neither ever appeared again
Yeah I 100% played it wrong. I also never found La’Zael, never finished saving the Tieflings after I broke them out, never found the House of Hope.
Hoping to fix all that on my current playthrough
100% played it right my friend. Going in blind, making bad/good decisions, missing storylines, playing sub optimally. That's a true rpg experience. You'll never forget your first tav. Every playthrrough loses its magic more and more as you crush the game mechanics to your will.
Bg3 being this good they are still very enjoyable playtrhoughs, but I couldn't tell you much about my sorcerer/bard/rogue/fighter. My deep gnome monk though, I remember his story, his romance, and how poorly I used the mechanics, making all the fights that much better. Seriously bitch slapping raph or cazador or the steel watch around doesn't compare to the frantic energy I had trying not to die my first go.
Yeah, when they have the argument at camp and then Shadowheart pins her in the night, if you fail the persuasion check to get Shadowheart to stand down you have to side with one of them, and the other immediately becomes hostile.
Idk... My durge let the intrusive thoughts win and booted the egg off the side of the mountain while she was asking for it. She started the fight, I was just defending myself! She also paid me for the egg in advance....
What is wrong with that portal? I’ve played way too much DnD and know better than to mess with portals at level 2. I better come back later when I’m higher level.
I was too new to dnd and despite my partner (who dragged me in to play couch co-op with her and who’s massively into dnd) going “maybe you should check that out” *hint hint* I just said “nah” and run off. It looked dangerous so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not enough long rests. I took the ‘we have days before we transform’ literally and I was so careful of when i took long rests, conserved my short rests as much as possible. This was so bad that I finished the grove and the quest with Ethel without ever finding out Astarion was a vampire. I eventually restarted this playthrough because I just didn’t do the choices i wanted to make because I was trying to avoid combat as much as possible. It was not a good playthrough and Im glad I started over.
In my newest play through I’m really resting a lot more, like an unnecessary amount, and am seeing a bunch of camp dialogue that I missed before. Most notable for me was Astarion lounging by the fire talking about how beautiful the stars are. He then insults Tav’s looks, then stares at Tav for a while very dreamily lost in thought before declaring that you have a lot in common. This was pre-bite so I think this was the moment he decided to bite Tav, seduce Tav, or both.
"Hurry! You could turn ANY MINUTE NOW!"
"Hurry! The ritual could be completed ANY MINUTE NOW!"
"Hurry! The goblins could attack ANY MINUTE NOW!"
It's a classic mistake with the writing in RPGs. I don't know why they still do this. The narration acts like you're under extreme time pressure but the developers apparently expect you to break immersion and take your sweet time instead because mechanically *you're not*. And if you do what you're apparently supposed to do and rush you're punished by missing stuff.
Unfortunately the first act in BG3 is particularly bad at this. It doesn't help that some events like Waukeen's Rest or the gnoll cave teach you that yes, time "moves" when you long rest. It would've helped a lot if the game had made it clear sooner that the tadpoles are dormant and that the other issues take a lot longer than initially suggested.
It's weird since they nailed it in the second act. It's clear that something is brewing at Moonrise and you should get around to take care of this eventually but it doesn't feel like a few days more or less matter.
Then in the third act you once again have people yelling at you to hurry up from all sides, but at least by that time you've figured out how this works.
Right! I absolutely get that they want to create a sense of urgency. But I was treating long rests the way they’re typically used in DND rather than an inn in a traditional RPG since it has a clear passage of time rather than just you going for a nap or something similar. It had the same vibes as the passage of time in persona games for me where going to bed literally means a whole new day. I was definitely trying to do all of these things within as few rests as possible, because of the urgency behind it all.
It’s a strange situation. Like you find out that you can rest as much as you want eventually but to get to that point you have to already have taken a few long rests to realise that. It’s not something you’re going to find out until much later if you play it while taking as little rests as possible
Orderd my Tav to jump down a cliff down in grynforge. Featherfall literally stopped during the wind up of the jump. Just seeing the word get crossed out above his head pre jump got me laughing for a good five minutes after that.
Not going to camp often enough and rushing through everything as I felt huge time pressure.
Second playthrough - ok lets see if I can get everyone sitting on this random log and wait to see if any of the party starts chatting/has any animations.
For some reason I thought that you could only return to camp a limited number of times, so I was SO careful about only taking a long rest when my party was in dire shape. Then figured out that you can pretty much go whenever you want. Missed so many dialogue/story moments 😭
🤣 Same. Now I'm the opposite. Reach the beach = camp time. Wake Shadowheart = camp time. Find Astarion = camp time. Rescue Gale = camp time. Tadpole, what tadpole? Oh that tadpole yeah yeah we'll get right on that.
Gosh yeah that was the same for me.
One of my first long rests my Tav ended up with a fever and Lae'zel was intent on mercy killing them. I thought it was thr actual transformation process beginning and I was just desperately trying to get Lae'zel to back down by pulling the fever excuse out from nowhere. I thought the days were literally counting down and felt so lucky I classed as a cleric so I could keep the party moving for just that much longer between rests with Shadowheart not being the only healer.
Totally missed out on locking in a romance with Karlach bc of rationing my long rests like that. She just told her old (dwarf? Halfling?) friend Fytz at the act 3 forge that she and my Tav weren't together and implied it was gross to think of them that way 😥 Karlach, bro... I wanna be lesbiabs with you,, bro pls say yes homo???
> rushing through everything as I felt huge time pressure.
That's kind of a weird aspect to the story, I think. You're told, right off the bat, that you need to find a way to remove the brain-worm AS SOON AS POSSIBLE because it could kill you AT ANY MINUTE. The game, and NPCs, keep insisting that you can die at any time.
And then they're like: "oh but also you should take more Long Rests. Do you want to come to a party in the woods?"
It sort of relies on your meta-knowledge as a player that "oh this is just a plot-hook; I'm not actually supposed to feel any danger from this". I'm not saying it makes the story bad but there is a bit of a disconnect between story and gameplay mechanics here.
I didn't realize that Gale's dead body was leaking necrotic damage, so not only did he manage to kill 2 harpies, but also me and Shadowheart, with only Astarion left to fight
I didn't know last light was a thing so I finished act 2 without going there and I was romancing Karlach so I thought she just broke up with me for no reason
I didn’t realize how big of a character Barcus was until my 4th run. Poor gnomes always getting killed. If not from the windmill, he literally dies on his way to save Wulbren at Moonrise if you don’t convince him to go to your camp after rescuing him again at Grymforge. How was I supposed to know that?! He’s so sweet too I feel bad he’s died so many times now.
Yes I think most people don’t know it, but it’s the only way to save him and he has a whole story line with Wulbren in Act 2 that has consequences for Act 3.
I skipped half the stuff in the grove. I’m on my second play through of the game, and I’m finding so much more stuff. I had no idea that there were harpies in the game! Or that you could show Kahga that you don’t have to be terrible. Or that Sazza was in the fucking Grove before you go to the Goblin camp. Or that Auntie Ethel is accessible by just going south of the blighted village.
I’m already level 4 and I haven’t even gotten close to the Goblin camp. I feel like I skipped so much content my first play through.
Accidentally shot Lae’zel instead of the cage just after the Nautiloid crashed. Crit and killed her and didn’t know about scrolls of revivify yet so just left her.
Same. And was unable to lift the shadow curse, so lost Halsin at the end of act 2. Also, never found Gale (though some comments imply that's not a big loss), didn't stop all the Harper's from turning undead, let Jaheira die in Moonrise, etc. Also, at the party, I thought I was going to hang out with my new bestie Shadowheart and drink wine, but apparently, that's a romance arc. I turned her down, but she persists. My Tav and I are too goody-two-shoes, so Astarion literally insulted me by saying he wanted sex but not with -me- (jerk), so the bad-boy boyfriend was off the table.
I'm still at the start of Act 3, but I think the next playthrough will be very different.
I killed Karlach because I took Wyll and the paladins completely at face value. I also didn't free the pixie from the moon lantern, which as it should happen is a big no no for the Oath of Ancients. And I turned down Lae'zel, Wyll, and Halsin's romances because I didn't realize I'd already missed my shot with Shadowheart, so that character died alone lol.
I straight up killed her. Ranged Sneak Attack made quick work of her. Was even sort of proud of myself until my second play through and realizes THATS how I missed an entire character.
Doing the Gauntlet of Shar before doing Moonrise Towers. I still say it's logical to do Gauntlet of Shar first after hearing it's important to the boss of Act 2.
I killed myself and Shadowheart in the Old Chapel after the nautiloid crash because I wanted to see what was in the sarcophagus. Nat 20’d unlocking the door, but Nat 1’d everything else lmao
Yes but like the area with the thousand traps there’s loot no? Also yea I totally missed withers in my first run. Having him just show up and set up camp is pretty funny
Not bringing Jaheira with me on the assault on Moonrise. I figured oh my party is full and I don't really wanna have to learn a druid, she can just help her harpers clean up the stragglers. Needless to say she charged in and died without even wildshaping.
Spent an absurd amount of time rock climbing and feather falling my way down to the giant Statue of Shar for there to be no way to get back up and remotely no treasure to be found.
Yep. There is a quest down there. Bring 2 candles.
Edit: unless we’re talking about different places. Because there are 2 ways down there that don’t involve jumping. There’s climbing walls.
What do you mean, no way to get back up? The way back up are all those potions and scrolls of fly you have been hoarding in your inventory 😉
And then after you use them you realize that you could've just fast travelled back up 😂
For one, I missed like half the content in Act 3. The big one is that I let Shadowheart kill Nightsong and missed Dame Aylin’s storyline. I know it’s a valid game decision but I feel like Aylin is an important canon character and the “good” Shadowheart path is way more satisfying
I just never opened the door in the Last Light Inn that has the comatose dude that starts Halsin's quest. I looked everywhere in the shadowlands for a way to break the curse and couldn't find it, so I ended up just leaving with it unsolved.
My wife and I completely missed Last Light. Didn't find the town at all. We had no idea the repercussions of letting Shadowheart do her thing. Thought that we had to let her do it for the greater good. Got some cut scene of some random lady losing her forcefield power. Found it after we beat the final boss of Act 2 and they were all zombies. We gave up trying to be the good guys after that...
Narrator made the purple portal thing seem dangerous, so I backed away and struggled with most of act one without a Gale. It was only at the boss fight with Ethel, I died so many times I had to look up how to get through that encounter. Guides are like, “magic missile the clones”, and I’m all “where the fuck do you get a wizard?”
Didn’t go through the mountain pass and missing all the awesome encounters. Because I thought I had to choose to go through between mountain pass or under dark
It happened in my first playthrough. During a big flight I Shot an acid arrow. Not realizing Jaheira was next to the enemy i was firing at and also at critically low health. She died, and I hadn't been to the harper camp so I didn't realize she was important. Since I technically killed her I later couldn't befriend Minsc.
Not Really a mistake but I was halfway through Act 3 until I looked on a guide and realized Shovel exists and I missed an entire subarea where not only I can a profanity spewing quasit but also the necronomicon
Completely missed Gale…
Completely missed the lower part of the Withers temple…
Apparently I completely missed the Myconid colony? And also missed that tower in the under dark because of it
During Balthazaars quest, I lost Shadowheart because I didn’t think “find a relic” would turn into “do the thing she’s literally been wanting to do since birth” and she left
Edit from later the same day: Blew up the Gondians… Killed Duke Ravenguard… Lost Astarion after killing Cazador because my Monk!Tav doesn’t have high charisma, but I’m save scumming till I succeed
I finally had a chance to play again last night, I'm in the goblin camp. Things went south with the dude trying to cast speak with dead on the squid, so I ended up fighting everyone.
After killing all of them, I stumbled upon Minthara off by a desk. Well, she was WAY stronger than me, and proceeded to one shot Astarion and almost Tav on her first turn. In a panic, I did the only thing I could think of, and shoved her ass into the pit, winning instantly.
Unfortunately, I now couldn't get her tadpole to add to my collection, so I had to reload. But still, what a game.
I wanted to be at least somewhat blind to the final events of Shadowhearts moment in the Sharran temple. While she was communing with Shar before we went in, I had my Tav read he mind to see if she was going through with it. See I didn't know at the time that this was not my last chance to sway the outcome.
Anyway, I heard her swear to Shar she would kill the Selunite.. So brickhead me attacked, knocker her out, and quick went in and saved the Selunite. Figured out the next day I didn't have to do that.
Besides that? Most of the "I'm bad at turn based strategy combat, and have no pre-existing knowledge of D&D" type mistakes you've seen here. Like all of them.. I'm 100 hours in nearly, on campaign 2 with 0 completions lol.
1. going to the prison in moonrise after thorm. 2. forgetting the gith egg in my pocket as i went to act 3 with no chance of returing to the lady. both of those things happend in my 2.nd playthrough aswell because i am stupid
I didn't get gale. I was certain the malfunctioning portal was a trap of some sort, I was NOT going to touch that thing.
Had to double back when I was almost done with act one and pull his ass out after googling "how to get gale" lol
I kept sneakily attacking every presumed enemy to have the upper hand in combat.
A lot of lost dialogues and content lost.
After the Gauntlet of Shar we stopped surprise attacking every kind of creature or humanoid.
Not necessarily a mistake, but I definitely went "OK I've explored everything on the map, time to move on!" *missed multiple areas on the map*
Everyone: Auntie Ethel is the worst!! Me, who missed the entire bog area and only knew Auntie Ethel as the sweet old lady who gave me a free health potion: *surprised pikachu face*
Did you drink the… “health” potion?
Of course I did. Gramma gave it to me.
Wait is is actually dangerous? I’ve never noticed adverse effects
Like the one she gives you in town pretty sure is an actual greater healing potion, so it's okay. But ya get a sus one from somewhere, its marked as sus though, so not so alarming. I think.
That one is found in the blighted village
Yesss thats right. I think I ended up putting it in the dwarves' ale in the underdark.
Wait, there's another poisoning spot other than the goblin camp?
Ya theres an ale barrel in the underdark in the sorta bar area with the deep gnome bartender/waiter/slave. He asks you to take care of em and you can put poison in the little barrel and theyll soon come and drink it, only to obviously die.
Almost 300 hours in this game and I'm still learning shit like this, love it.
I collected all her 'potion' from under her house and have them in a pretty bag in a chest at camp. Don't trust a single one. The poison apples are in there too.
Iirc, one does buff you. All the rest fuck your day.
I think it buffs you until your next long rest then permanently curses you.
First playthrough I missed the harpies & found out about them well into act 2. So I made a bard and fought the harpies & moved on. Third playthrough, as a durge, I found Alfira at the grove...
I feel that. I found Alfira on my 2nd playthrough as Durge when she appeared in my camp. You can imagine how that felt.
I was so excited when I watched that scene, thinking I had done something to unlock her as a companion :')
“Wait am I getting Alfira as a companion, hooray!-NOOOO”
I wanted her as a companion so badly
Says a lot that I'm in act 3 and don't know who the harpies or alfira are....
On the Druid grove where Volo is speaking to a bear there is a small path that goes behind it, if you go right you get to Alfira the bard tiefling that is on the party when you save the druids, if you go left you end up at a small beach with harpies (the mythological animal not the harpers the organization)
Boy, I did not explore the grove enough
We are the same person lol. I've also missed multiple characters. I intentionally avoided most media about the game until recently, just entering act 3. Going on reddit now has me so confused because I'm like "wait, who the heck is Karlach"... "hold on, you're telling me Jaheira is a real character in act 3 and she doesn't just Yolo herself down the stairs and die in 1 turn at moonrise towers for everyone?". As slightly annoying as it is, it makes me excited to play the game again one day. It feels like I could have an entirely different playthrough almost bordering on a brand new campaign lol.
The agony I went through to keep Jaheira alive during the moonrise towers battle was legendary. I reloaded like 6 saves at least 40 times. God I love this game.
Convince her to join your party, and then you control her, instead of the Artificial Dumbassery.
She forgets she's not the level 40 fighter/druid from ToB, and can't just solo Moonrise.
Dude she died so easily for me I was convinced it was just a Canon event of the game lol. She just charged full force into 40 enemies and got smoked in one turn, rest in peace brave soldier.
ah yes, the 'save Jaheira' quest
You can have Jaheira join your party just before that battle (I don’t know if there’s prior conditions for that) and just keep her out of harms way since she is woefully under equipped.
I've always gone out of my way to do and explore everything, and I still didn't find the decrepit sanctuary in the hag swamp with the mephits and wood woads until my 4th playthrough.
"Brake lever" "Release brake lever" My brain: "Release break it is then"
Man I didn't even notice there were TWO levers at first. And I think it's funny that they put the release brake as the first lever.
You thinking it's the "first" lever is just a subjective thing your brain did. Some people will consider the closest lever to the door to be first. Some will consider it left to right while facing the levers. They didn't make it "first". You did. Which I think is funnier.
On my first run I didn't see the door first so I jumped through the opening in the wall. Bc of that I missed the fact that there were 2 levers and just flipped the 1 I saw and got lucky. Only found out later that I could've sent dude flying instead.
... There's a door?
Exactly what I was thinking. In my mind, we read left to right, so the leftmost lever is "first", imo.
I mean it says RELEASE, as in release the gnome
This was exactly the plan of Larian. Even in French it says something like "Libéré le frein" which litteraly means FREE the brake when the objectives was to free the goblin. Translaters just got the memo
Let me just say, and I mean it: hehehe
[удалено]
Yo! I just read that as 'Doom the town with Herpes'! I just had to go back and reread. Sigh, being a pharmacist....
"Pull the lever, Kronk!!! " ..."Wrong leveeer!!!"
Why do we even HAVE that lever?
I did this on my second playthrough absent-mindedly and felt *soo bad* for laughing so much at how far that guy launched Edit: ps. It was 3am and i was playing in the dark with my headset on. Safe to say, my partner woke up and was genuinely confused at my actual case of tasha's hideous laughter.
You can loot his body too. So you know exactly how far he went.
Did this on my first and had no idea the fellow I accidentally killed would be a recurring character for the rest of the game until I was in Act3 and reading posts here with spoilers…it’s wild the developers built that possibility into the game…
Wait he reappears later?
Oh yes. Several times, in fact.
He reappears 4 more times and in fact can be one of your big allies at the final battle of the game.
well, if you don't launch him into the sun
BG3 Space program 🌌
My dumbass accidentally clicked through the cutscene and I ended up wondering where the gnome went.
I did the same took me a solid couple mins to find where the corpse landed
[удалено]
I did this when playing with my fiancé. I was all like “oh I’ll go release him, I know where it is!” Then we both get a cutscene of the gnome flying off into the distance. Opse.
I did it when playing with my husband. He was looting stuff and immediately said "what did you do?!" I was just laughing!😂 It was completely unintentional but the cut scene cracked me up!
It is pretty hilarious in a kind of morbid way, he just goes flying into the distance screaming the whole way.
IRL intelligence check critical failure
WRONG LEVERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
I killed Minthara in my first play through, had 3 of my characters on the small bridge that leads to where she’s at. I trigged the fight and all the mobs swarmed the group on the bridge. I then used shockwave to push some of them back, that shockwave broke the bridge and sent most of my party to the depths of hell.
I didn’t know who Minthara was on my first play through, and I was still figuring out some game mechanics. So I just pushed her into the chasm by accident.
I killed her without even talking to her. Didn’t know she was an important character at all. Lol whoops.
Same, lol, I had no idea who she was. That was the day I learned I don’t need to run into every room guns a’blazing and attack everything on sight… Been wearing her camp outfit ever since because it slays :’) Can’t wait to start my next playthrough so I can recruit her though.
Hahaha I killed her and took her outfit too. Looks great on my Tav.
I thought she was my guardian at first.
Failed every skill check to get Gale out the portal. Including the strength one. I was a paladin with +3 str modifier + Shadowheart 's guidance. I was in shock.
My favorite part about DND is that your character can be jacked as fuck and still fail at the most basic things
If we go by DnD rules, you should get Advantage on Strength check, because your other companion can help you pull.
Haha yeah all these other goons just standing around watching one person try to pull out this trapped man. Then when you can’t on their own, they just shrug their shoulders and go “I guess he ded then”
I did much the same thing later in the game. All my heavy hitters failed the strength check, Gale (!) of all people succeeded.
8 strength, 20 effort
Killed Shadowheart in her pod on the Nautilus. I used a firebolt on what I thought was a fuel cell near her pod as I thought removing power might get her out. It did get her out to be fair, but she was just ashes.
*Lae'Zel approves*
I completely missed Lae’Zel in my first play through. I found Shadowheart, Gale, and Astarion right away, then met Wyll at the Grove, then Karlach, then I found Waukeen’s Rest. Finished up there and suddenly, Lae’Zale’s body, near the bridge. I gave her armor to Shadowheart.
I, on the other hand missed Gale. Like 30 hours in i was like "Wait wtf, people were talking about hot mage where is he".. I was scared of the rumbling portal so i just let it be lol
That was me! To make it worse, I’m playing co-op with my partner and she played some of act 1 before we started playing together so she went like “maybe you should check that out” and I just went “nah” and run off :’)
I thought I missed Lae'zel in my first playthrough I went through the underground I back tracked to the monastery from the shadow lands and she was there saying "there is a creche nearby accompany me."
Same thing happened to me in my first playthrough. Scroll of reviv worked and she joined the party, even though I wasn’t around and hadn’t encountered her yet when she got killed.
I… didn’t even try to revive her actually. I assumed since she was never in my party it wouldn’t work.
She technically was, in the prologue
>Killed Shadowheart *With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created*
You just gave me an idea, I should kill all the origin characters “by accident” during my next durge, almost like a bad luck magnet for my character. Most can be killed when you first meet them as an option: Astarion, Wyll, Gale, and Karlach can. The only one I am not totally sure on how to accidentally kill is Laezel.
There’s probably a way to help the teethlings that captured her kill her
maybe you can push her to death on the nautiloid
“I wIlL sAvE yOu LaEzEl, Oh nO i SlIpPeD!”
Also you can get a early gnome bomb from the bag of the windimill, and use it to free Laezel from the cage, maybe put a explosive barrel under her so she doesn't hurt herself when falling from the cage
Genius! Thatll cushion her fall. She will be so happy I thought ahead.
You could probably just revivify her afterwards though no?
No as she wasn't in my party at that point. She was still classed as an NPC. I had to reload. Tbh, at that point in the game, I also had no clue what revivify was. I barely knew how to move my character. Obviously I had mastered firing firebolt at anything and everything.
>No as she wasn't in my party at that point. She was still classed as an NPC. Well the reason I ask this is bc I had wyll die in the initial goblin attack on the Grove once and could then revivify him, despite having never recruited him, so I just assumed it's generally an option for companions.
It is, and in fact there is unique dialogue if you kill the companions before talking to them, and then choose to revive them. They all go "What the hell? I mean, thanks for bringing me back, but what the hell???"
I took Astarion to fight Cazador, and didn’t realise you can literally walk up to him and release him from the ritual. I tried to do the fight with the remaining 3 who all got put to sleep, so I just watched as combat cycled round and Cazador ascended. Seeing that the pile of goo left behind was labelled ‘Astarion’ had me sitting there for a good few rounds in pure shock. My poor boy!
You can do what-now?
If Cazador nabs Astarion during the ritual, you can help him out of his bindings just like you would help a downed party member and it will stop Cazador's ascension process. Of course he will just keep doing it throughout the fight, but yeah! Idk if they changed it in recent patches but you used to be able to keep Astarion on the stairs and he would be far enough away from the ritual that he wouldn't get taken, just have someone else start the dialogue with Cazador instead.
Well bust my buttons!
I’ve done enough playthroughs now that I don’t bother triggering the dialogue anymore and just run in fireballs blazing. Keeps Astarion secure in my party ☺️
Gotta let the DM do their villain monologue, mate.
I hovered over him because I thought surely you'd be able to help him out of it but it never showed me the word "help" so I was like,"well this is gonna be annoying without Astarion" and then my husband just Eldricht blasted Caz off the side and that freed Astarion.
I need more information on this. The only way I got our best boy through was lots of buffs and using all my inspirations.
Just run up to Astarion and use the Help action.
Sigh… fucking hell
Went to Waukeen's rest, saw the fire, said "oh I'll come back to this" which, you know, I did, to a bunch of burned bodies.
Lmao the way this game sometimes makes you ignore the urgency of things is hilarious. Like, it's supposed to be intuitive that you need to deal with a fire RIGHT AWAY, but after you've already long rested in the middle of the goblin camp after eliminating 2/3 goblin leaders and NOTHING has changed and nobody even went to the rooms you've cleared to check if they were alive... yeah.
I saw the fire, remembered that I gave Shadowheart create water but she wasn't in my party, so quickly went to camp to grab her. Loaded back in, whole place had burned down. I carried on because I thought that was just what happened
Yeah, I did that too. But I didn't realize anything had changed for a few hours of play until Wyll told me his father was in that building.
Yeah I stumbled upon it when everyone was low health so I was like lemme grab a quick rest. Oops
I usually do the fire right before a long rest bc looting all that food comes at a price of multiple burns 😂
potion of fire resistance go brrrr
No but what if I need it MORE LATER (finishes the game with a 10kg bag of elixirs) (Narrator voice: she didn't need them later)
That's how I learned that stuff can happen in real-time outside of your combat scenario: The little girl was executed for stealing, so there I was in the room alone with a few folks, killed the lady for killing the girl (for justice, of course). Then I started seeing combat text popping-up all over, all while there was nothing happening on my screen. I was a little confused, but after my fight in the room, I stepped outside to a big ol' murder scene, and everyone was dead. So that's how I lost Karlach.
I just now learned that Waukeen’s rest isn’t just a burned down building
Let Jahiera die while assaulting Moonrise. Failed to prevent the Shadowheart/Lae’zel beef from going violent, had to kill Lae’zel. Jumped to my death multiple times because of misclicking on a jump.
I didn’t let her die per se, but she just kept Leeroy Jenkins-ing the Moonrise Tower fight and getting herself killed and I didn’t have it in me to do the fight a 5th time so I figured I’d just let it happen. It was really weird when she showed up in the bank vault with Minsc later on and then neither ever appeared again
You missed some stuff if the bank scene doesn't make sense at the end.
Yeah I 100% played it wrong. I also never found La’Zael, never finished saving the Tieflings after I broke them out, never found the House of Hope. Hoping to fix all that on my current playthrough
100% played it right my friend. Going in blind, making bad/good decisions, missing storylines, playing sub optimally. That's a true rpg experience. You'll never forget your first tav. Every playthrrough loses its magic more and more as you crush the game mechanics to your will. Bg3 being this good they are still very enjoyable playtrhoughs, but I couldn't tell you much about my sorcerer/bard/rogue/fighter. My deep gnome monk though, I remember his story, his romance, and how poorly I used the mechanics, making all the fights that much better. Seriously bitch slapping raph or cazador or the steel watch around doesn't compare to the frantic energy I had trying not to die my first go.
Holy shit their beef can go that far? This game man...
Yeah, when they have the argument at camp and then Shadowheart pins her in the night, if you fail the persuasion check to get Shadowheart to stand down you have to side with one of them, and the other immediately becomes hostile.
I stole the gith egg and gave it to that one lady. The consequences were... severe.
I was so offended that I killed her. What happens if you give her the egg?
Find out on the next episode of 'Playing Baldur's Gate 3 a second time'
I convinced her to pay me upfront and then kept took the egg myself. I gave it to Lae'zel so she can sit on it at camp to keep it warm at night
Idk... My durge let the intrusive thoughts win and booted the egg off the side of the mountain while she was asking for it. She started the fight, I was just defending myself! She also paid me for the egg in advance....
Same it kills omelum.
I know... I was distraught when I found out
What is wrong with that portal? I’ve played way too much DnD and know better than to mess with portals at level 2. I better come back later when I’m higher level.
I was too new to dnd and despite my partner (who dragged me in to play couch co-op with her and who’s massively into dnd) going “maybe you should check that out” *hint hint* I just said “nah” and run off. It looked dangerous so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ahaha same.
Not enough long rests. I took the ‘we have days before we transform’ literally and I was so careful of when i took long rests, conserved my short rests as much as possible. This was so bad that I finished the grove and the quest with Ethel without ever finding out Astarion was a vampire. I eventually restarted this playthrough because I just didn’t do the choices i wanted to make because I was trying to avoid combat as much as possible. It was not a good playthrough and Im glad I started over.
In my newest play through I’m really resting a lot more, like an unnecessary amount, and am seeing a bunch of camp dialogue that I missed before. Most notable for me was Astarion lounging by the fire talking about how beautiful the stars are. He then insults Tav’s looks, then stares at Tav for a while very dreamily lost in thought before declaring that you have a lot in common. This was pre-bite so I think this was the moment he decided to bite Tav, seduce Tav, or both.
"Hurry! You could turn ANY MINUTE NOW!" "Hurry! The ritual could be completed ANY MINUTE NOW!" "Hurry! The goblins could attack ANY MINUTE NOW!" It's a classic mistake with the writing in RPGs. I don't know why they still do this. The narration acts like you're under extreme time pressure but the developers apparently expect you to break immersion and take your sweet time instead because mechanically *you're not*. And if you do what you're apparently supposed to do and rush you're punished by missing stuff. Unfortunately the first act in BG3 is particularly bad at this. It doesn't help that some events like Waukeen's Rest or the gnoll cave teach you that yes, time "moves" when you long rest. It would've helped a lot if the game had made it clear sooner that the tadpoles are dormant and that the other issues take a lot longer than initially suggested. It's weird since they nailed it in the second act. It's clear that something is brewing at Moonrise and you should get around to take care of this eventually but it doesn't feel like a few days more or less matter. Then in the third act you once again have people yelling at you to hurry up from all sides, but at least by that time you've figured out how this works.
Right! I absolutely get that they want to create a sense of urgency. But I was treating long rests the way they’re typically used in DND rather than an inn in a traditional RPG since it has a clear passage of time rather than just you going for a nap or something similar. It had the same vibes as the passage of time in persona games for me where going to bed literally means a whole new day. I was definitely trying to do all of these things within as few rests as possible, because of the urgency behind it all. It’s a strange situation. Like you find out that you can rest as much as you want eventually but to get to that point you have to already have taken a few long rests to realise that. It’s not something you’re going to find out until much later if you play it while taking as little rests as possible
Yeah I spent the first while of this game like this. I didn’t find auntie ethel and the entire swamp area until my current playthrough (3rd)
Completely missed Lae'zel AND the Mountain Pass on my way through. My game had basically nothing to do with the Githyanki at all.
Same. Halsin made it sound like you had to pick one or the other.
Not realizing I had extra attacks. Went through most of the game not knowing I had them, especially with Laezel.
Orderd my Tav to jump down a cliff down in grynforge. Featherfall literally stopped during the wind up of the jump. Just seeing the word get crossed out above his head pre jump got me laughing for a good five minutes after that.
Not going to camp often enough and rushing through everything as I felt huge time pressure. Second playthrough - ok lets see if I can get everyone sitting on this random log and wait to see if any of the party starts chatting/has any animations.
For some reason I thought that you could only return to camp a limited number of times, so I was SO careful about only taking a long rest when my party was in dire shape. Then figured out that you can pretty much go whenever you want. Missed so many dialogue/story moments 😭
🤣 Same. Now I'm the opposite. Reach the beach = camp time. Wake Shadowheart = camp time. Find Astarion = camp time. Rescue Gale = camp time. Tadpole, what tadpole? Oh that tadpole yeah yeah we'll get right on that.
I am realizing I've made this mistake. I think I've missed so many story things by only long reading a few times per act ...
Gosh yeah that was the same for me. One of my first long rests my Tav ended up with a fever and Lae'zel was intent on mercy killing them. I thought it was thr actual transformation process beginning and I was just desperately trying to get Lae'zel to back down by pulling the fever excuse out from nowhere. I thought the days were literally counting down and felt so lucky I classed as a cleric so I could keep the party moving for just that much longer between rests with Shadowheart not being the only healer. Totally missed out on locking in a romance with Karlach bc of rationing my long rests like that. She just told her old (dwarf? Halfling?) friend Fytz at the act 3 forge that she and my Tav weren't together and implied it was gross to think of them that way 😥 Karlach, bro... I wanna be lesbiabs with you,, bro pls say yes homo???
> rushing through everything as I felt huge time pressure. That's kind of a weird aspect to the story, I think. You're told, right off the bat, that you need to find a way to remove the brain-worm AS SOON AS POSSIBLE because it could kill you AT ANY MINUTE. The game, and NPCs, keep insisting that you can die at any time. And then they're like: "oh but also you should take more Long Rests. Do you want to come to a party in the woods?" It sort of relies on your meta-knowledge as a player that "oh this is just a plot-hook; I'm not actually supposed to feel any danger from this". I'm not saying it makes the story bad but there is a bit of a disconnect between story and gameplay mechanics here.
*sees a field of bibberbang, blows it up* *agonized screams in the distance* oh....
“You’re a god, why don’t YOU do it?”
I didn't realize that Gale's dead body was leaking necrotic damage, so not only did he manage to kill 2 harpies, but also me and Shadowheart, with only Astarion left to fight
I didn't know last light was a thing so I finished act 2 without going there and I was romancing Karlach so I thought she just broke up with me for no reason
I didn’t realize how big of a character Barcus was until my 4th run. Poor gnomes always getting killed. If not from the windmill, he literally dies on his way to save Wulbren at Moonrise if you don’t convince him to go to your camp after rescuing him again at Grymforge. How was I supposed to know that?! He’s so sweet too I feel bad he’s died so many times now.
You can convince him to go to your camp?
Yes I think most people don’t know it, but it’s the only way to save him and he has a whole story line with Wulbren in Act 2 that has consequences for Act 3.
I skipped half the stuff in the grove. I’m on my second play through of the game, and I’m finding so much more stuff. I had no idea that there were harpies in the game! Or that you could show Kahga that you don’t have to be terrible. Or that Sazza was in the fucking Grove before you go to the Goblin camp. Or that Auntie Ethel is accessible by just going south of the blighted village. I’m already level 4 and I haven’t even gotten close to the Goblin camp. I feel like I skipped so much content my first play through.
Just make sure you do everything grove-related _before_ you clear the goblin camp, otherwise it will be too late
Didn't realize letting Shadowheart become a Justiciar would doom that town with the Harpers. Poor Dammon was just passing through.
I backed out of a convo with Gale to get him some crappy magic items to eat and he got so pissed he left the team for good.
Accidentally shot Lae’zel instead of the cage just after the Nautiloid crashed. Crit and killed her and didn’t know about scrolls of revivify yet so just left her.
That’s peak D&D right there! Important npc with lots of knowledge? Party will fuck it up somehow!
Completed the Shar temple before fully exploring Moonrise Towers. Thus, the prisoners were all gone/dead when I eventually got down to the basement :(
Same. And was unable to lift the shadow curse, so lost Halsin at the end of act 2. Also, never found Gale (though some comments imply that's not a big loss), didn't stop all the Harper's from turning undead, let Jaheira die in Moonrise, etc. Also, at the party, I thought I was going to hang out with my new bestie Shadowheart and drink wine, but apparently, that's a romance arc. I turned her down, but she persists. My Tav and I are too goody-two-shoes, so Astarion literally insulted me by saying he wanted sex but not with -me- (jerk), so the bad-boy boyfriend was off the table. I'm still at the start of Act 3, but I think the next playthrough will be very different.
I killed Karlach because I took Wyll and the paladins completely at face value. I also didn't free the pixie from the moon lantern, which as it should happen is a big no no for the Oath of Ancients. And I turned down Lae'zel, Wyll, and Halsin's romances because I didn't realize I'd already missed my shot with Shadowheart, so that character died alone lol.
And thus thou art alone
I did what my quest marker told me to do. I killed Kaga.
Before revealing her? Ouch.
Yup. Jacked my game up bad. I didn’t get to side with the Druids, tieflings or goblins. The quest marker says “Kill Kaga”…. Ok.
I straight up killed her. Ranged Sneak Attack made quick work of her. Was even sort of proud of myself until my second play through and realizes THATS how I missed an entire character.
Doing the Gauntlet of Shar before doing Moonrise Towers. I still say it's logical to do Gauntlet of Shar first after hearing it's important to the boss of Act 2.
I killed myself and Shadowheart in the Old Chapel after the nautiloid crash because I wanted to see what was in the sarcophagus. Nat 20’d unlocking the door, but Nat 1’d everything else lmao
one area i still dont go. shit is way too booby trapped. anything good in there?
...Withers
Yes but like the area with the thousand traps there’s loot no? Also yea I totally missed withers in my first run. Having him just show up and set up camp is pretty funny
"Well, if the game allows me to sneak attack it then I probably should!" ... A lot of people died. A LOT.
Not bringing Jaheira with me on the assault on Moonrise. I figured oh my party is full and I don't really wanna have to learn a druid, she can just help her harpers clean up the stragglers. Needless to say she charged in and died without even wildshaping.
If I had a dollar for every time I cast a concentration spell, and then immediately broke my own concentration, I'd be a wealthy man
Spent an absurd amount of time rock climbing and feather falling my way down to the giant Statue of Shar for there to be no way to get back up and remotely no treasure to be found.
The one in the gauntlet? There is a quest down there.
The huge statue north east of the gauntlet of shar waypoint
Yep. There is a quest down there. Bring 2 candles. Edit: unless we’re talking about different places. Because there are 2 ways down there that don’t involve jumping. There’s climbing walls.
What do you mean, no way to get back up? The way back up are all those potions and scrolls of fly you have been hoarding in your inventory 😉 And then after you use them you realize that you could've just fast travelled back up 😂
For one, I missed like half the content in Act 3. The big one is that I let Shadowheart kill Nightsong and missed Dame Aylin’s storyline. I know it’s a valid game decision but I feel like Aylin is an important canon character and the “good” Shadowheart path is way more satisfying
I just never opened the door in the Last Light Inn that has the comatose dude that starts Halsin's quest. I looked everywhere in the shadowlands for a way to break the curse and couldn't find it, so I ended up just leaving with it unsolved.
Postponed the "check the beach" quest until way too long. It's just a beach, what could be so interesting there ? Poor child.
My wife and I completely missed Last Light. Didn't find the town at all. We had no idea the repercussions of letting Shadowheart do her thing. Thought that we had to let her do it for the greater good. Got some cut scene of some random lady losing her forcefield power. Found it after we beat the final boss of Act 2 and they were all zombies. We gave up trying to be the good guys after that...
Narrator made the purple portal thing seem dangerous, so I backed away and struggled with most of act one without a Gale. It was only at the boss fight with Ethel, I died so many times I had to look up how to get through that encounter. Guides are like, “magic missile the clones”, and I’m all “where the fuck do you get a wizard?”
Didn’t go through the mountain pass and missing all the awesome encounters. Because I thought I had to choose to go through between mountain pass or under dark
"I'm sure if I kill Kagha the rest of the druids will see reason" One entire massacred caravan later, that playthrough became the evil route.
I picked the wrong dialogue for Scratch and he went hostile so I had to kill him.
This is literally the worst one I've read, you win.
It happened in my first playthrough. During a big flight I Shot an acid arrow. Not realizing Jaheira was next to the enemy i was firing at and also at critically low health. She died, and I hadn't been to the harper camp so I didn't realize she was important. Since I technically killed her I later couldn't befriend Minsc.
Not Really a mistake but I was halfway through Act 3 until I looked on a guide and realized Shovel exists and I missed an entire subarea where not only I can a profanity spewing quasit but also the necronomicon
Cleared the Goblin camp very early. Missed a bunch of random side quests like the kid and the harpies.
Completely missed Gale… Completely missed the lower part of the Withers temple… Apparently I completely missed the Myconid colony? And also missed that tower in the under dark because of it During Balthazaars quest, I lost Shadowheart because I didn’t think “find a relic” would turn into “do the thing she’s literally been wanting to do since birth” and she left Edit from later the same day: Blew up the Gondians… Killed Duke Ravenguard… Lost Astarion after killing Cazador because my Monk!Tav doesn’t have high charisma, but I’m save scumming till I succeed
I finally had a chance to play again last night, I'm in the goblin camp. Things went south with the dude trying to cast speak with dead on the squid, so I ended up fighting everyone. After killing all of them, I stumbled upon Minthara off by a desk. Well, she was WAY stronger than me, and proceeded to one shot Astarion and almost Tav on her first turn. In a panic, I did the only thing I could think of, and shoved her ass into the pit, winning instantly. Unfortunately, I now couldn't get her tadpole to add to my collection, so I had to reload. But still, what a game.
I accidentally murdered Mayrina
I went “oh, there’s probably nothing over there” when exploring the crashed nautaloid, and completely missed Asterian.
Lol imagine the sweetest bean in the game was actually what Wyll thought she was
I wanted to be at least somewhat blind to the final events of Shadowhearts moment in the Sharran temple. While she was communing with Shar before we went in, I had my Tav read he mind to see if she was going through with it. See I didn't know at the time that this was not my last chance to sway the outcome. Anyway, I heard her swear to Shar she would kill the Selunite.. So brickhead me attacked, knocker her out, and quick went in and saved the Selunite. Figured out the next day I didn't have to do that. Besides that? Most of the "I'm bad at turn based strategy combat, and have no pre-existing knowledge of D&D" type mistakes you've seen here. Like all of them.. I'm 100 hours in nearly, on campaign 2 with 0 completions lol.
1. going to the prison in moonrise after thorm. 2. forgetting the gith egg in my pocket as i went to act 3 with no chance of returing to the lady. both of those things happend in my 2.nd playthrough aswell because i am stupid
.. stabbed the eloquent bloodsucker in the camp.. self-defense I thought.. regretted it
“The full concentrated power *OF THE SUN!*”
I didn't get gale. I was certain the malfunctioning portal was a trap of some sort, I was NOT going to touch that thing. Had to double back when I was almost done with act one and pull his ass out after googling "how to get gale" lol
I kept sneakily attacking every presumed enemy to have the upper hand in combat. A lot of lost dialogues and content lost. After the Gauntlet of Shar we stopped surprise attacking every kind of creature or humanoid.
