Almost every episode we make is an animated journal of what happened in our adventures playing this game. The party splitting up and triggering events was a common problem we had lol

I hope your rogue continues their dedication to stealing from everyone, specifically Baelen Bonecloak.

I would rather have a good time than the vanity of having an item. It makes for a funny story at least.

[@MizuMing]

@@allknowingfreddybear9291 I think that really depends. If it's something that you're *actively using* and your teammate just takes it and sells it or gives it to Gale to eat, then that ruins *your* fun. 🤷 There's no getting it back once it goes down his gullet.

[@janihelin8170]

Sounds like problem is really in your choice of teammates. I've never had problems playing with my friends. Heck mostly people shove items to inventory they think would benefit from it the most or openly ask if somebody wants X-item.

Burning inspiration points so you can roll even more abysmally...truly the essence of the BG3 experience.

[@jroldo8353]

Those first couple months were rough before they patched out some of the bugs. I got so angry when I missed to hit the goblin kids freeing Halsin with my paladin. They had 6 AC, and I had +4 proficiency and +1 on my weapon, so I should have only been able to miss with a 1. Somehow 5 different times across 3 save scums I missed 'without a critical failure' which should have been impossible...

[@freelancerthe2561]

Thats just TTRPGs in general. With some parities its known curse to roll worse on a reroll. And the GM's like "yes. roll again so I can see that Nat 1." Its almost as soul crushing as seeing the party roll 4 nat 1s in a row.

[@freelancerthe2561]

@@jroldo8353 Its a widely known fact that children in RPG games have either pseudo plot armor or permanent god mode enabled.

[@SerialSnowmanKiller]

For me, a 95% chance to hit isn't good number; it's the BARE MINIMUM needed to make sure that I don't flump all my rolls. I'm playing as a fire sorceress, and I gave up on Scorching Ray because, on average, I would only hit 0.5 of the 3 rays it fired.

[@ManateeMentality]

[@pawsouth2897]

just cook some potions, they last till long rest (unless you die, to which I say: skill issue lol) and aren't expensive. You also loot enough of those to last for probably 75% of the game

[@ruggedlemmings9163]

Yeah, the north side of the first map gets pretty intense. And as someone who's been in multiple multiplayer playthroughs with buddies: I can confirm that trying to keep everyone on task and in the same general area is like wrangling cats.

[@freelancerthe2561]

I blame the devs for leaving too many things too loot. Half of my circle plays survival games..... the hoarding/looting/stealing instincts caused us to spend hours in a location, going back and forth, to maximize gold trade.

[@Inkspeckle]

@@Zaxares I think you find his body? far as i understand his hand in the portal was anchoring him in the sky he just couldnt get through without help. chopping it off means he plummets to the ground. my guess is that maybe you can revive him if you do find his body? or they just reloaded the save and kept the hand bit as a joke

[@yarion4774]

@@Inkspeckle If he died, we would have noticed. Considering "the orb", if you know what I mean.

[@exantiuse497]

Gale with one hand existing in this game is a joke, the video creator took some liberties from the game for the sake of humor. You can't get Gale if you don't save him from the portal. One-handed Gale doesn't exist in the game. The commenters above claim you can find his body and res him, I have not seen this nor have I seen any video about it despite seeing a lot of videos about this game

[@yama_noki]

@@Inkspeckle The hand isn't anchoring Gale in the sky, Gale is literally trapped in the Weave-space between waystones (basically a pocket dimension) due to his failed attempt to warp himself to safety while falling from the Nautiloid. If, as Dark Urge, you sever his hand, this leaves Gale trapped in that space indefinitely. Presumably, he eventually perishes and triggers the inside the pocket dimension, which is why you never see it.

So the word vigilante came from Rome where they were the watchmen and firefighters. However many did "rescue" precious items from burning buildings over fighting fires. Corruption was so bad that some of them did start fires just to liberate the jewelry. So this is historically accurate.

[@zachary3367]

Nero of Rome made the first of what we know as firefighters, the idea was theyd come while your house was burning but would not help until a price was agreed upon, considering the time sensitive nature of a house fire and all most would agree to any price to save their loved ones and property. Id never heard of fires being deliberately set though or thefts, i can believe both happened just never read about it, it does seem strange theyd bother to rob anyone when they were basically being paid to put the fire out with whatever sum of money they thought they could get away with though.

[@phlyphlo]

Partial spolier free Tips ACT 3: Don't rush in to boss fights with out starting the quest that involves that boss, becuase it will lock you out of the some quest rewards. For example if you don't talk to Voss in act three, and skip to complete the dungeon involved in his quest (bring barrels for this one.) It will tell you to go back, but then he wont be there. The game counts will count this as a failure. Thus, locking out of the Silver Sword. I did this in honor mode and I am so mad. I wanted that sword, and there is no explanation of why he is not there. Same for another boss fight in a hidden dungeon that recalls from act 1. If you have not talked to person talking to the Flaming Fist they wont give you a reward.

[@VeganStories]

Or just yoink the silver sword in act one on the bridge by commanding voss to drop it. Funniest way to mow thru act 1

[@JamesSarin]

That is why I leave gale in camp and almost never talk to him. I use him as a buffer and go about my day. He wanted to eat my hat! Then he got all huffy when I said no so I had to go out and buy some boots for him to eat.
