BALDUR'S GATE 3 | Episode #54 - The Circus

[@alexmashkin863]

Damn, I'm so used to playing on honour mode that the way he uses Friens so flippantly always gets to me 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@tommyeliassen2071]

Too bad about the bugged animals in the end there. You’ve experienced an extraordinary amount of bugs in your playthrough! Crimson is such a pleasant conversationalist after you’ve fed him. It might be that he didn’t get registered as friendly because you didn’t try talking to him again afterwards?

[@Theorak]

It happened after the Hold Monster on the dog, maybe the spell was just too close to the cages, triggering something.

[@alexmashkin863]

@@Theorak It really shouldn't trigger anything as far as I know 🤷🏻‍♂️ Gopher is so good at catching obscure bugs no one ever gets :-))

[@Quarico]

I can't believe you haven't specced someone into 10 summoning.

[@lewd2851]

Quarico's spite remains strong, as do her memes

[@Quarico]

I am nothing if not consistent.

[@alexmashkin863]

In case anyone wondering, it's enough to disarm only triggers for the traps and leave the explosives, so three or four tripwires in this particular location :-) That being said, failed perception check did kill one of my solo honour runs in Act 3 in a location connected to this quest 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@insaincaldo]

Avoiding tedium, forgoing experience, but yeah the room is safe just from disconnecting trap and trigger.

[@alexmashkin863]

@@insaincaldo No experience for disarming traps in this game :-) But there's too much experience in the game as it is anyway...

[@Anarcho-Zymurgist]

"Am I alone in this?" Yes, very much so lol

[@1WolfFan]

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that that thrown weapon was the jackpot you were promised. :) Popper is now one of my favorite characters in this game. lol

[@alexmashkin863]

@@1WolfFan No, it was the ring he didn't get :-) Weapon is "just" best in slot for thrower build. Ring on the other hand is broken, unbalanced, ludicrously powerful..

[@Mister_Skar]

The statue is a nice thing to have imo provided you can afford to get it.

[@Theorak]

Karlach missed the circus :( You should go with your boo again. Gratulations on the jackpot though.

[@alexmashkin863]

I played Lae'zel as Bardadin in my origin playthrough, she has a gentle poet's soul :-) And all the smite...

[@boab4]

Could make jaheira a bit more useful, maybe make her a spore druid and a summoner, or go 6 spore and 6 levels of fighter/monk for a more melee focused fighter, spore druid has a skill that gives bonus health and additional necrotic damage as long as you have the bonus health.

[@alexmashkin863]

Land druid is useful enough, to the point of not really needing a party if you do it right. I think he will play characters as they come in this one anyway, no respec.

[@robertjensen1438]

There's a shiner circus in town today, Seems more like a fez-tival to me. What do you call someone who eats circus workers? A carny-vore. Fifty clowns got fired from the circus. Luckily, it freed up three parking spots.

[@1WolfFan]

Parking Spaces one made chortle well. Thank you. :)

[@alexmashkin863]

You should have a sword that gives advantage on Perception, if you didn't sell it. Give it to Reggie for an off hand, he doesn't use weapon attacks most of the time anyway

[@GophersVids]

He has a two hander. So no offhand weapon for him.

[@alexmashkin863]

@@GophersVids Isn't it Phalar Aluve? Which is versatile as far as I remember

[@GophersVids]

@@alexmashkin863 I'll check.

[@alexmashkin863]

@@GophersVids You probably don't have feats to dual wield non small weapons now that I think about it. But maybe you're better off switching to some small weapons that give you good passives anyway. You certainly don't do damage with them, you don't use good part of Phalar Aluve ability as well :-) But keeping it for flavour is also legit 👍

[@alexmashkin863]

You didn't get the best bard ring :-) Oh, well
