Are Candles Really Over Powered in BALDUR'S GATE 3

[@Baraz_Red]

I don't use them only because they break my immersion : dipping any weapon on a candle is dumb and many players told Larian. I prefer the alchemy system, which is cool.

[@OttoResolve]

Oooo... I will have to learn the alchemy. I'm still a noob. But I agree with your immersion point. It's definitely kinda cool that you can do it, but c'mon, is the character gonna spend an hour heating up a sword?

[@JamieDWestII]

What if they are Tallow candles which are candles made of animal fats. Which can burn and the fatty oil based substance would explain the cling effect on the blade, it of course wouldn't burn very long irl but who care's, close enough. If you've ever seen your grill grate catch on fire that's animal fat at work.

[@OttoResolve]

@JamieDWestll I like your explanation. Certainly makes it a little more believable for me. Cheers.

Tell me you've never played D&D before without telling me you've never played D&D before.

[@Baraz_Red]

@@james_tiberius_kirk73 I have played over 30 years. Not the same crowd I guess.

Dipping a weapon in fire from a candle is a VERY DnD thing to do. Heaven stairs out of crates is beyond game breaking, and should be patched out to prevent stackable beyond maybe 5-6 meters. 7 if you're specifically using Karlach to do it. LOL

[@OttoResolve]

Hahaaa. That's pretty wild with the crates. I haven't seen it anywhere myself but I've been pretty guarded about watching any gameplay or videos on the game to prevent spoilers. About the candles, it is nice that BG3 has really captured the spirit of D & D. I did get a kick out of it though.

[@m.c.i.d23]

Do you remember where you found this candle?

[@OttoResolve]

You can find them and pick them up all over the place. Sorry for the late reply.

[@KevinL87]

Candles are the MVP of BG3 🎉

[@OttoResolve]

Haha. They're not bad.

[@avandurion]

Someone tell him about the gamebraking ability to dip weapons in altered suefeaces his mid gonna blow.

[@OttoResolve]

Hahaaa. Oh my.

[@Davyyjones42]

@@OttoResolve What surfaces can you do ? Lightning, cold, and blood don't seem to be dippable

[@OttoResolve]

@Davyyjones42 I'm certainly not an expert in the game at this stage by any stretch, so I'm probably not the best person to ask as of yet, but, the only surfaces that are dippable that I've come across with so far are fire and acid. If I find some others I will be sure to give you an update.

[@CAVALO-QUENTE]

NICE

[@DM_Wyvern]

ooo Good tip!

[@OttoResolve]

Just imagine what you could do with a birthday cake.
