What was the point of that lift, anyway?

It's actually probably very nice for astarion, since he got to see how he looks. he had said before that he hasn't been able to do that since he turned. also i think there is a switch on the lift itself and the lever is for calling it down (and running into a trap)

Sorry, but that was the biggest laugh of the week, at the least. I don't know why you can't use that lift, you did before.

It's always amusing in media to see that when someone needs to draw their own blood for a vow or as a gift they always slash/cut across the palm of the hand even though that's a good way to damage the muscles the hand uses.

wasn't the rat leading you to treasure?

i just followd the displacerbeast (i was lured succesesfully) and ended up in a conversation with yurgir. (the ambush went bad for me) also i noticed astrion didn't become happy when he bites beasts (like the displacerbeast here)

im surprised how much easier the fight is without yurgir, damn. apparently this game does not know how to handle strategic positioning very well. also- talking to them doesn't require anything special, i assume the devils interpreted invisible rath as a threat

I wonder what Balthazar's build is as Cloudkill is a 5th level spell and he's only level 8 so technically doesn't have access to the spell slots. Also if one was metagaming I could see this fight being rather easy as poison damage is the easiest damage type to get resistance or immunity to in regular 5e.

nooo keep bullying astarion i loved that also balthazar’s fart clouds are the stuff of my nightmares for real. learned the value of the sussur weapon the day i fought him, honestly

I really wish I understood how speak with animals worked better. With situations like with the rats here I struggle to understand if they actually are following religion, are they actually praying to shar and calling you unworthy, or is that just the way that we interpret their thoughts via the magic. Cause if the rats are actually following the Shar religion that makes me question the supposed 2 in intelligence the game says they have.

I agree that this is a nicely made fight and a good way to make it challenging without it becoming stupidly difficult. One rarely sees these kind of fights in tabletop games due to the number of npcs the DM has to then juggle and roll for.

I don’t know where i read this, It might be homebrew, but it’s funny so I’ll leave it here regardless. When a creature who’s not naturally a lycanthrope transforms they go on a rampage of the typical alignment of the type of lycanthrope is, werebears are typically lawful good, you may now imagine what a lawful good rampage looks like

Sharpshooter can be a really fun feat if you get the chance to hit high enough with builds that let you make a lot of bow attacks a turn, like gloomstalker+assassin or thief with duel hand crossbows, but outside those situations the cost of -5 to hit usually isn't worth it imo. Don't feel bad about ASI, sometimes it just is the most valuable option.

So glad you got the reusable dye mod. The save reload spamming is such a pain and half the time I feel like the name of the dye doesn't properly translate to how it actually ends up looking.

I'd been wondering why Shadowheart had relatively low hp compared to the rest of the party but then I do see that she has the lowest Con in the group with 13. It's a bit weird to see a ranged character not take sharpshooter as that usually is a go-to option in any irl campaign I've been in but I agree that it's not apparently that useful in BG3 and honestly even in a regular DnD campaign there are not many instances when a player is needing to shoot something over 100 feet away. Stat increases might be boring but I've seen a lot of DnD leveling guides recommend it to max out your primary stats asap before going for feats- which I suspect is part of why one DM I know would sometimes hand out free feats during campaigns but with the caveat they could only be used on feats and not stat increases as a way to encourage players to take feats.

about the covert cowl, the effect can stack means you can further lower the number needed for critical hits if you have other items that do so. this on just need you to be obscured for it to activate. (another item would be knife of the undermountainking and if equiped and he is obscured to activate the cowl he would crit on a 18,19 and 20)

Go into the lamp your using and press examine trust me you will not regret it

poor strange ox. found him too suspicious to let live on my first playthrough, but i’ve vowed to save him since

I remember looting the rings off those skeletons...I uh, feel a bit bad now that you pointed out the context clues I missed

I think the "effect" that can stack with the cowl is the lowering of the crit threshold, meaning that other things can also lower it. "More explosives... I saw this door." Yup, the reason both of the walls had explosives *behind* them is that someone went through there backwards. The barrels were there to open the walls, not blow up people going through!

Finally gotten around to trying this class. Your video is very helpful!

Y'know, the discussion about automation has made me wonder: do you consider Stacklands to be similar to a production line game like Factorio or Factory Town? What separates it from that genre that makes it appeal to you more?

it is the knife of the undermountain king i mentioned before, as long s it's in the weaponslot, everything using attack rolls crits on more numbers. this effect stacks if you find other stuff like it, and works even if you had for example both a bow and a sword with said effect equipped, no matter what you attack with the effect stays. (reducing the roll needed to 18 or above in this example)

11:30 Not as exploitable as those sinks, surely.

Pssssst.... Gale has the "knock" spell. (Unless it specifically says 'impossible', it will unlock with a 'knock' spell. Like the Big Entry Doors outside the Monastery are 'impossible') Now go back and unlock the compartment that holds the 'Crest'. Screw finding those stupid weapons and altar crap puzzle. Keys? Locks? KNOCK!

Water pumps and water wheels are 1:1 ratio. Enjoying the series.

Regarding your conundrum I blame the Quest Log encouraging 100% completion needs because if it wasn't a Quest you wouldn't feel as compelled to retrieve the item. It forces the player to either do it regardless of whether their character would do it or abandon it and leave it continually available in the Quest Log.

About the crest, do you want some extra info without the strait up solution or spoilers for future events? I know that you are sensitive to spoilers so this would be the least ammount of info that still helps you further.

i love junctions!

Ratioing everything is a lot. Remember you can watch the cycle time and when it resets you can tell how log each take to produce and consume. Water wheels are 1pump to one wheel, but farms and bread are more complex. I think its two farms to 1 pump and 1 factory to make bread continuously. But you'll have to check. Yes this DLC is definitely for those of us unsatisfied with the base game automation.

Ah, the old "I'm not stealing! I'm just safe-keeping it, I swear!" 🤣 Such insconsistent character morals, truly life-like!

Might I suggest the road view. Connect the water deposit to the water wheel and the farms to the food warehouse.

Selling sunshine? A credit card on fire? What a disaster!

It wasn't a bug when you tried to leave your campsite, the game was just forcing you to take another long rest.

Lesson learned, get town hall up and running for increased card capacity, THEN build the infrastructure to support better housing!

oh look like i guesed correctly on the ep 100 massacre a while back nice. also knife of the undermountainking could be good for eve because holding it will affect her cantrips too, especially good because eatch eldrisch blast is an separate attack

3:09 This feels like the time I tried Elder Scrolls: Arena and was killed by the first rat I came across as I couldn't figure out the combat (to be fair having the right mouse be the attack button is weird and the starting dungeon has a massive difficulty curve). I really like this game but it can be quite unforgiving.

good stuff

I know this is 6 months old but please! Respec your characters they’ll work so much better for you 😂 also Astarion has two bonus actions every turn from Fast Hands that I don’t think I’ve seen you take advantage of once

12:10 Amen to that rant. It's like games, movies, and tv can't show damage to an area or a post-apocalyptic/combat area without rubble and debris everywhere in places where people live and work even though irl when people have downtime they go and get a broom to clean up as it improves safety, hygiene, and morale. Happy 100 episodes!

TY for this upload, these kind of uploads that are just the tutorials help alot because i accidentally didnt read the bit abt spell mana

I really disliked the leadup to this moment. It was a crazy interesting moment, but I hate how it railroads you to it which hasn't really been present in anything up until this point (idk if it happens again you I am at the exact same point in the game as you). Also the relative ease in which a ragtag group is able to effectively wipe out the Creche makes the Githyanki lose a lot of their intimidation factor for me. I was scared going in because I figured angering the Gith would end up in a TPK, but in reality the Goblins felt like a more difficult fight.

Yes, you'll... almost certainly... be back to that plane. You were given a hint about the statues elsewhere in the building.

for the statue you never made a check indicating that it was something else, so you should try some different stuff.

It's interesting to hear you taking some time to think through everything that could the case, and explaining your reasoning. Though I have to admit, with games like these, I can often get lost with how many sidequests they get to the point I can't recall the important parts like you do here (assuming I don't lose interest entirely).

I really enjoy the theorising. I think the dream visitor could still be connected to Orpheus, with Orpheus holding the secret knowledge. In that case, the dream visitor could either be a follower/friend of Orpheus, or, as you suggested, an illusion he employed to communicate with you. He'd definitely have reason to hide his true identity for now. Eve hasn't done what the dream visitor has asked of her so far, so it would seem like a high risk to put all cards on the table at this point.

cannot comment on your theories but i am enjoying them. also agreed the writing in this section is weak, in my opinion it tricks you into thinking it’s an important decision you are making but there isn’t one and you’re just being railroaded here, because they needed to reveal who is in the prism + destroy lae’zel’s faith at this point in the game. if you opened the map you’d get the notice that when the map is red, it means you cannot use fast travel in that area (to other portals or to the camp). should first have been encountered in auntie ethel’s basement

Anybody here about this mod? It's been down for a while looks like.

Hahaha I remember the weevile and bob day's

The other option, of course, was to not go through. Which isn't much of one, but it's there.
