Yo ho, Cap'n BG Anon, 'ere. I'm a swashbuckler, a fiend, a trickster. By pure dumb luck I managed to finesse my way through the drinking contest(?) and chacha-ed real smooth out of the freaky doctor's dissection using only deception and avoided both fights. And the fight with the klepto was easy peasy.

I found the matching rings so now my Tav and Astarion are engaged.

( •̀ ω •́ )✧ <- my face as I equipped them.

I still feel the other kiss was better, if only because it was much... sweeter. Softer. But I do agree that having him be more of a participant is wonderful. And you're right, having both kisses would be great, get a taste of both sweet and spicy.

For bae (anything for him XD), I accepted Raphael's deal to kill Yurgir, do you have any tips on how I should tackle that?

Well hell, how's it going, BG El Capitan?

Well done on tackling the Thorm Three! I talked my way though all of them cause I am a slippery slippery boy, a tongue as sharp as my rapier.

Aww congrats on your engagement! Astarion and I are still wearing our "magic" rings from the tiefling children, so I hc that it was a joke that turned genuine over time. Yeah, I have to say I prefer the soft kiss, but also like how INTO it the new kiss is. Let us have both, Larian! (the ass grab cracks me up though like okay Astarion, get it baby)

As for Yurgir, if you can, talk to the Displacer Beast first and lick the dead spider. (you know you want to). Try to keep Yurgir talking, it will annoy Astarion who wants to jump to the stabby stabby, but he'll be fine. The small disapproval is worth the overall approval when Yurgir is dead. You can fight or talk your way out for this encounter as well, I chose to fight (especially since I had the kitty cat on my side)

You're catching up to me BG! Soon I won't have any advice for you because we will be playing parallel! I've been busy with nanowrimo (and some how managed to catch covid for the third maybe fourth time so I've been feeling yucky). I've started Act 3 but have yet to venture into the city 😂 and then YOU will have to give me tips and tricks!

I have an unpopular opinion that might get me dogpiled by my social circles IRL

I think Baldurs Gate 3 is a "meh" game.

Before you grab your pitchforks let me say I'm so glad Larian is getting praised, that people are enjoying it. Really.

But the bugs and errors have absolutely ruined my experience, coupled with the fact that my first playthrough is with two other friends in multiplayer.

My friends begged and pleaded and refused to play anything else when it was in early access, and even though I eventually put my foot down and refused to start any new saves after the SEVENTH FRESH START. In early access. Where we never even made it very far. Any time they added or changed anything my friends were like "ok time to start a new save file!" And girl. As much as I love making alts. I hated BG3 in early access. We did the same first 2-3 hours of that game too many times. I realized too late I was getting burnt and the damage was done.

When it full released I was so excited to jump back in having completely ignored it for so long. I made a new character, played for a few hours (speeding through the stuff I already had done) before discovering that my saving was corrupted.

That happened three times, with me changing settings and even reinstalling the game, before my googling finally pinged about the cross save articles.

Again. Damage was done. I was so incredibly frustrated I wanted to take another break.

Instead my friends convinced me to do a multiplayer for my first run through.

Huge mistake. Don't do that. Don't do multiplayer for your first time.

After we got through the part I had done a million times, I pointed out that I didn't know the story at that point so we should stick together. Nope.

Didn't happen.

The host went full main character syndrome. I would be in the middle of buying something, or doing inventory management, which I am very efficient at this point. But he would run off and do conversations and continue quests and I kept getting confused on what was happening.

And the one time I wandered off, while he and my other friend traded some gear, I accidentally aggroed some mobs and he absolutely scolded me for "trying to split the party". Apparently I walked past a HIDDEN DOOR that I wasn't aware of and AFTER I GOT INTO COMBAT he decided to go into the door and start a different combat, and got mad I wasnt following him.

Later I was talking to some NPCs and seeing if any of them had anything interesting to trade, like main character told me to do, and then he said he was continuing a quest and doing a riddle/secret and I was like where? What? Wait for me! But he didn't and by the time I showed up he had moved into the next quest.

I feel bad because like. I want to play game with my friends, and when it's combat it isn't so bad, although they pretty regularly do things that fuck up my combat skills. It's just.

It's not fun. It's not fun when my only role is to open locks and disarm traps and do sneak attacks. And whenever I try to talk to the NPCs he's like wait don't do the thing without me there. Like I'm not supposed to play the game because he might miss something, but I also have no idea what's going on because he is sprinting through act one "sinces he's done it so much in early access".

The biggest multiplayer problem is how often he will tell me "ok open this box and bring the thing to here" and I will be doing that, talking to a person, continuing the quest, but he will run off and like, fast travel, or make some decision that effects the world, and my game will crash. It's happened like five times now. The last time it totally corrupted my game, I had to fresh install, and when I came back everything in my personal chest had gone to his, and my twitch drops were gone.

Oh! And one time they asked if I wanted to play that night, and I said yes but I wouldn't be ready for an hour. Less than an hour later I got online and it turned out they didn't wait for me, main character was piloting my character and used a bunch of my saved arrows/potions "because there's no point hoarding them" and I was pissed. I know how much act 2 ratchets up the difficulty and I had told them I was saving resources. And he PLAYED MY CHARACTER, played our group save without me!!!

I figure ok, time to make a solo game and really sprint through it, on easy mode, just so I can experience the story and know what's happening!! I gathered my wits and rolled a wizard and started playing and wow. Uh. It's full crashed three times.

Tonight the latest crash was because I *checks notes* clicked to fast travel and somehow it tried to make a new marker on the fast travel icon, but also initiated the fast travel, so the game got stuck and I had to alt+f4.

So. Please continue to have fun. But also. This game has had so many bugs and crashes that I find it unplayable. I'll be back in 6 months when everything has been spoiled and the bugs ironed out.

Maybe.

#rant over #im rage quitting for another 6 months bye
