Baldur's Gate 3: Freeing Shadowheart As A Gith

[@tata313155]

Your character looks like someone's dad

[@New_Lime_Cinema]

Bella Swan's father

[@jenmygem]

@@New_Lime_Cinema That gave me inspiration, I'm gonna make my Gith look exactly like Charlie Swan when the game properly comes out

[@robertroughley1923]

Looks like an Osmosis Jones character

[@monkeywithplutonium]

I'm like 90% sure my mom used to bowl with that Gith.

[@Auxik]

The way shadowheart says "trust me" right there makes me trust her the least

[@adrickwipp7405]

My man legit made Samuel L Jackson into a Gith

[@charlesboots6508]

Chk, it's pronounced "S'amuel L'Jackson," istik. Probably difficult with your decadent, uneconomical nose, but still...

[@leperheart]

I've never seen that one random Int Devourer turn hostile before when you free Shadowheart

[@Cyb3rM1nd]

Maybe its when you're a Gith? But never played one and it's never turned hostile for me.

[@raygc1]

From what I know, instead of freeing Us, I killed him in his host (also played a Githyanki), I also killed the devourer on the top deck of the ship as well, so that may have influenced things as well. That made the very same devourer hostile for me

[@richardyoung3462]

Warlocks also get a class option for releasing her. Cleric does not, for now, anyway. I imagine Sorcerer will have an option whenever that class goes live.

[@GarethTheGreat325]

I wouldn't think so, bard is more likely. A Warlock could have this knowledge from their patron maybe being how they were contacted in the first place, and a wizard has all the book knowledge they would need to justify knowing this. Sorcerer, in my opinion, while being a fantastically fun class should not really know about magic seeing as how they draw upon an innate power rather than being tutored, same reason that they are unable to ritual cast.

[@richardyoung3462]

Well, that's the thing. The console needs something to power it. The Wizard scribes runes of power, the warlock channels their patron's power. Why wouldn't a sorcerer just use their own power to charge the console? The locked chest contains a power device, no matter what, so anyone can still open her pod. As far as knowledge, it's up to the player to pick their backround and the knowledge skills that come with it, so they could easily start with Arcana. I just find it interesting that they are allowing for other options besides opening the chest to get the power cell to free her. Allowing for different playthroughs.

[@Nikioko]

Warlocks can hack the lock by altering the warding runes.

[@TwinRiver100]

When I was playing earlier this month as a Druid, I think I might've failed my Arcana check. So I had to go around to one of the side rooms or check those little enclaves in that ship chamber for a key to unlock the pod. I was really glad when they gave you the option to free her and she was in the pod. In an earlier patch i tried looking for a key but couldn't find it.

[@zhongxina9832]

I can confirm that sorcerer draconian bloodline can use glyphs

[@Honed-]

i like how this makes her question her view on the gith... but i dunno if it effects future diolog. would be cool if it dose.

[@MayHugger]

Your character looks like they’d ask a kid if they’re winning.

[@bierlichen1]

I was expecting him to say For shizzle my Nizzle.

[@jenmygem]

😭😂

[@joaopedrobaker8841]

My man made Ron Perlman as a character!

[@jenmygem]

LMFAO, u should see my dwarf that looks like Ben Kingsley

[@Swenthorian]

Video starts at 2:12.

[@Anubis_Moon]

Just open the chest and you can free her period. But she does show some gratitude, which is nice regardless

[@jenmygem]

Oops! I forgot to mention my character is a wizard (they don't need the rune to open her capsule). But yes, for other classes (except for warlock) you need the rune from the chest.

[@Anubis_Moon]

@@jenmygem My apologies if that sounded snarky. I was playing a gith rouge and found the rune in the chest.

[@jenmygem]

@@Anubis_Moon no worries! You didnt sound snarky at all

[@Tyrantlizard127]

​@@jenmygem What about the sorcerer class? Do they need this rune?

[@jenmygem]

@@Tyrantlizard127 Last time I played sorcerer, nope.

[@DrXtoph]

Love your content! (also a comment to enhance your KZbin algorithm performance)

[@jenmygem]

Why thank you 😂

[@eren.w5597]

Should of made your guy a bard he looks like he would start spitting bars

[@kellenmck]

How is this two years ago

[@DeathlyDrained]

Interesting. Makes me wonder what extra lines she would have if you really befriend her or romance her. So excited for the game to be released in a few days.

I swear I think I've seen your character at a school event in elementary

[@jenmygem]

LMAO

[@Jaguarnightblur]

I like your moustache

[@millesabords1654]

Yep the best part of the character :) Mooooostache power

[@TwinRiver100]

Moostache gives +2 Charisma lol

Why does every modern Larian game involve the same looking sandy beach?

[@jenmygem]

Why is it that in every rpg, I'm a prisoner? 😂

[@Jasonlol73]

Looks like Dave Chapelle

[@TwinRiver100]

How did you manage to get one those intellect devourers as a a battle companion?

[@jenmygem]

First area you go on a platform and grab it out of someones head

[@TwinRiver100]

oh I remember that part. huh. I thought that was going to be some kind of trap and that it might fight me or something. Didn't think it'd be an ally.

[@TwinRiver100]

Guess I'll keep that in mind if I play through that area again.

[@river7874]

@@TwinRiver100 I know I'm a year late, but that Intellect Devourer is incredibly helpful for acquiring the Everburn Blade.

[@TwinRiver100]

@@river7874 Really?! Woah! Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep that in mind when giving this game another go.

[@nathanieljefferies5491]

I mean she isn’t wrong. Githyanki are overglorified raiders who kill anyone and are just as bad as mindflayers

[@5686darryl]

lol dat face

[@m.d.3953]

where do you get the interface? is it a old one or from a mod?

[@jenmygem]

It's an old one, u might find it on NexusMods, I thought it was easier than the new one 😂

[@m.d.3953]

@@jenmygem yeah thats what i was thinking

[@rileymcphee9429]

Dayum, Shadowheart racist af

[@IrrelevantUserOfName]

A deserved bias especially for her seeing as how her memories are regularly wiped, and her most recent ones are all of her most familiar ally's being killed by Gith. That said the gith are cool Af. Love to hate them. Interdimensional, militaristic, psionic, slavers, that ride dragons; just bad ass.

[@charlesboots6508]

​@@IrrelevantUserOfNameHer colleagues were killed because they all stole from the Gith. She always glosses over that part.

[@picophd]

Man, how anyone can find creatures like the Githyanki, Mass Effect's tentacled Asari, and "furry" half-animal half-human characters sexually appealing is just beyond me. They may look exotic but they also look repulsive. This is not a choice between a blonde and brunette, for example, that depends on "taste;" it's a choice between a normal human and some sort of deformed humanoid freak.

[@jenmygem]

Idk, I don't find Githyanki attractive cause of their lore. However, I'm fine with Githzerai. Not sure if I'm sexually attracted to them in both cases? I'm good with Asari though lol. No opinions for half-animal humans but half-demons are hot in my book. Wbu? Lmao you gotta have some exceptions right?

[@picophd]

​@@jenmygem Half-demons, like in The Witcher 3's succubi, can be temporarily hot for kinky corruption fantasies and such. But to find Asari, Githyanki, Githzerai, or furries sexually attractive though, all strictly from aesthetic perspectives? I shudder! And clearly, there is a significant portion of gamers that finds those species sexually attractive. Otherwise, the devs would not have invested all those resources to offer romance options with Lae'zel in Baldur's Gate 3 and Liara in the Mass Effect trilogy, for example. This is why I feel very surprised and wrote my original comment above. I have finished the ME trilogy probably dozens of times, and I have not even ONCE followed a romance with Liara. I just couldn't. The idea gave me shudders of repulsion and strong feelings of ... "unnatural." In Mass Effect Andromeda, I made an exception once for its Asari romance, just because the face, voice-acting, and personality were much more attractive than the female human option (can't remember their names now). I was very unimpressed with the female options of romance in Andromeda, all of them, for various reasons. I also made a happy exception for ME trilogy's Tali'Zorah, because that accent and the personality and voice-acting were all too cute and irresistible; and at least in Tali'Zorah's case, I couldn't see any freaky alien faces or tentacles or scales or dragon-like skin, so I could just imagine a very human face or elf-like features or something. However, Tali'Zorah's fan art that shows her with human-like hands, manicured nails and all, but with only three fingers ... eugh ... God, that gave me shudders of repulsion too. And frankly, I bother to think about this issue and comment on it so much mainly because it is reducing the human romance options in games for people like me. You see what I mean? When game devs keep investing resources, like programming, writing, graphics, animation, voice acting, and so on, in romance options with these freaky alien species that I'll never find sexually attractive, it means that those resources are taken away from offering more options of romance with humans. So, less variety, less playing time, less replayability, and so on. And that sucks ... at least for me and people like me. 😂 I really am curious, though, just how much of the player base of the relevant games would actually choose Liara over Jack or Miranda in Mass Effect 2, for example, and how many would choose Lae'zel over Shadowheart because they genuinely find the former more aesthetically attractive (not because of personality, culture, voice acting, and so on). So, yeah, disregarding culture, personality, and voice acting, the game devs should really see the percentage of the players that would genuinely pick that alien face and body over a human face and body, separate from any other details. And if it doesn't look like that percentage is big, then frankly, it would be better off if they put all these resources, the voice acting talent, the pretty face designs, and the unique culture, and so on, into human characters that belong to certain cultures like that instead.

[@jenmygem]

@@picophd Oh damn I never thought about it that deep before LOL. Made some valid points tho. There must've been people on the writing teams of ME who founded certain alien species hot enough to write romances for in the Mass Effect games ig. Why don't you like the Asari tho? I think they look the most human. 😂

[@picophd]

@@jenmygem Until they turn around and you see those tentacles and imagine them moving and slithering. EUUUUUUUUUGH, NOOOOOOO! Shudders. 😂😂😂

[@jenmygem]

@@picophd That's also valid lmao, I totally forgot Asari could do that and that they're basically eldritch horrors LOL
