D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

So, my wife and I are finally playing this.

I'm playing a forest gnome (because if there are animals to talk to, I want to talk to all of them, damn it) bard ... dark urge. Not sure why I want Dexter's Dark Passenger riding around in my head, but it seemed like the thing to do. I have been avoiding spoilers, and I assume there are some doozies for this one, but it's interesting so far.

I will say the game needs some UI tweaks. Dark grey text on a dark brown background is no way to create an info-card, Larian.

Bards get speak with animals on their spell list, and it lasts all day.

And is a ritual and doesn't burn a spell slot.

There were so many potions of speak with animals my monk never ran out.

Yeah, in my last game my fighter got by on potions alone, drinking a new one each morning. She was down to just two by the end of the game.

I was a Beastmaster Ranger... found I really didn't need my Speak With Animals spell. I started out casting it religiously after every long rest, then saved myself a spell slot when I found that those potions more than covered it for me.

My first character that got into act 2 was a Wildheart Barbarian. Felt the ability was useless due to the plethora of potions.

Just started up a new campaign. Going to finish this time. Going Devotion Paladin. There’s enough misery in the game (though toned down a lot from EA) for me to want to be an unequivocal hero.

After 190 hours my wife and I just finished our first play thru, both with custom characters (me shadow Monk, her, Gloomstalker Ranger0, and just WOW.

Big endgame spoilers to follow.



Our endgame had us transform Karach into an Illithid to take out the brain. Funny thing was, we'd hardly used her through the game as Wyll was a constant companion along with Shadowheart, but when Wyll became pissy that we didn't save his dad, I dropped him for Karach, who then volunteered to transform to take on the brain (La'zel was killed by Orin and we decided to trust The Emperor who I swore was going to betray us right up until the end).

Going to start our next play thru on Tactical mode now!

I just got to Nere and getting my butt kicked by him and the dwarves. Does the war horn work in this area?

The first time I tried that fight I got obliterated. After reloading and whilst pondering the freight train I just ran into, I happened to speak to a nearby duergar named Brithvar (I had to look up his name... been a while) who you can convince to side with you against Nere. Makes all the difference in the world. You could try the horn too... I finished the game without ever using it (kept only remembering its existence between fights...).
