@@John-uw2je it’s a little scary how many people who find that out and god dark very dark. I would recommend you save those urges for a Dark urge run, it will add I believe a lot of the run if you going that direction.

[@mutantmagnet]

It has made reeavlaute turn based gaming. Certain things like accidentally killing main characters I can see being possible anywhere but the complex interactions in the combat scenarios seems too hard to pull off in an action game. There is also the extra benefit that once you know you can do so much you can just relax and take your time to think through what Rube Goldberg machine you want to come up with next.

[@BoinkrNanis]

​@John-uw2je my first play through multiplayer with a full party...we landed on the beach and my friend started talking to Astarion and while he was in dialogue you see my character come behind and 1 shot him in the back and the party screamed out and asked me why?! "FOR THE DRIP!!!" from then on no one was safe. Who wants to spend a couple hours on the grove?! We fought the Grove for volos drip!

[@arenkai]

"Wait... You can do that ?!" has to be the sentence I have said the most while playing and consuming Baldur's Gate 3 content. It's insane how a game with such a rich world can also have such intricate systems you can find how to exploit if you accept to lose 2h just placing items around the map or finding the correct potions. You basically exchange time for cheats. It's brilliant.

[@justhappy7269]

"You basically exchange time for cheats." At least you don't have to pay for them.

[@ArmitageShanksuk]

I made such a powerhouse of a character. Still only managed to get 1 boss fight out of Act 2 tho. Talk no jutsu too strong.

[@shrubninja6444]

"Exchanging time for cheats" is my new favorite way to describe preparation.

[@masterstepz9800]

*"Exchange time for cheats"* Hasn't that always been the case in the history of gaming?

[@arenkai]

​@@masterstepz9800Not really because to be able to do that you need a systemic world at the minimum. Otherwise you're just using an exploit or a cheese mechanic. Here most of what people do is still part of the system, it's just an emergent property of it, an edge case if you will. You are not glitching the physics, or the items, you're just combining them in ways that create crazy reactions within the system. It's the difference between piling spells and items to traverse 100ft in a turn, And using a glitch to project a character from Act 1 to Act 2 for a speedrun using the physics of boxes and damage areas. If you really want to argue semantics though : sure... over-leveling your character in any game with levels is technically trading time for cheese. But that's obviously not what I meant.

But I saw the panther and got excited and just dashed in, and he panicked and got mad. But then I convinced him and my friend was so pissed cause it took him like 2 hours to beat that guy 😂

[@chrismendez7976]

I sneak attacked the boss with my main (Drow, Rogue Assassin) and Astarion and he died in like 3 turns than everyone else....almost wiped me tbh but I got the win.

[@Gofr5]

I just got ambushed by him and his crew as I went to grab loot on the other side of the room on the lower level. What happened? His entire army just ran to the end of the cliff by the throne and sat there the entire fight, unable to hit me, so I just 4v1'd the panther, then 4v1'd the orthon before slowly aoe killing the army of guys stuck on the ledge just watching me. Lol

[@RazielTheUnborn]

My character had her eye removed by Volo so she got a permanent see invisible passive. Just stood at the entrance until everyone got revealed. Buffed the Party with Bless and Sanctuary. Spent three or four turns just walking up to the top area and repositioning everyone. When I finally started fighting, it was a slaughterfest. Yurgir was knocked to the level below and got harassed by Sniper Astarion from above. Wyll locked the Merrgion in Hunger of Hadar and Everytime they tried escaping they got pushed back in with Eldritch Blast. My Paladin and Shadowheart sat at the edge of Hunger of Hadar just bashing those who got too close to escaping before Wyll blasted them back in. Honestly forgot how the Displacer Beast died, but she was absolutely cooked. Think I hit her with a critical hit on a Spell Slot 3 Divine Smite then Cull the Weak kicked in and finished her off.

I just shoved them all off the side and then rained AOE spells on them for a turn.

Ask if someone's in there or something of that nature & a man will yell to go away. Or you can just open the door without any dialogue & see two Orges getting it on doggie style. The male is noticeably shorter than the female & makes you wonder how she feels him back there. Both are very ugly & scantily clothed (though I did turn off show nudity in cutscenes). She gets upset at the interuption & I think you can talk your way out of fighting but I always end up having to kill them. I just don't open the door anymore, keep walking & mind the business that pays me 😂
