Baldur's Gate

Good news,I managed to save all the tieflings this time!

but Minthara died to tieflings shooting her with arrows,ow.

How much more content does Dark Urge have compare to Tav?

Mostly additional dialogue and a more intimate encounter with angry blood goth lady.

Just be careful whenever the game gives you the option to imagine doing something violent, because chances are the Urge will do it.

Last Dark Urge playthrough I had a companion kill Orin (using the customary method of launching her into a bottomless pit with Thunderwave) but didn't show up to the temple in person. Then Sceleritas showed up later that night and said that he will die of a broken heart. Don't make me feel sorry for Sceleritas, Larian.

Anyway, after that the game proceeded as intended until the finale, when Durge resolved to continue to resist Bhaal's influence and then IMMEDIATELY folded like a cheap suit. Like literally immediately. Not even the pretense of putting up a fight.

Lesson learned. Always kill your sister in person. It's the right thing to do.

Where is Tav in Durge run anyway?

Presumably one of the bloody smears on the ground, much like Losiir.

Sceleritas Fel is one hell of a butler, so even as a good Durge, I made sure to treat him well.

Made things super awkward.

One thing i really enjoyed about playing a rogue was that at level 11, any skills you are proficient in have you roll a 10 minimum before adding skill numbers to the dice. If you have expertise in sleight of hand or persuasion, say, that meant that any check is guaranteed to roll an 18, minimum. It's fucking great - lockpicking at that point becomes a formality for 95% of locks. I do agree that Lv 11 is probably too late for lockpicking to become reliable for a thief; maybe lv 6-7?

@Ookamikun: There's a theory that states that Tav in BG3 is the same Tav who was murdered by Durge in Blood in Baldur's Gate, set 15 years before BG3. Maybe that's true in a Durge run, but not when you're playing as Tav?

There is no Tav/Durge split. Durge is one of 7 origins (the only one to be both customizable and unrecruitable if playing as somebody else), while Tav is playing origin-less. Tav is not part of the story, just a random adventurer with a tadpole.

I'm taking a break from the game, but I'm pretty close to the part where you, uh, try to rescue the Gondians in the factory.

Wish me luck.

have fun!

The recent hotfix improved the Gondians thankfully. They now start the fight with Blurr and actually Misty Step unto the high ground most of the time.

Oh good. Before they would run away from the Steelwatchers, taking damage from the opportunity attack, and then Misty Step back to the Steelwatcher.

What are some good mod for this game? I been using Party limit Remove, clothes mod and Hexblade mod.

Made it to last light after heading through the mountain pass,so I went to Moonrise before I went to the inn,and I just got the bad outcome from failing to save the cleric girl,everyone in last night gets cursed,thank God reloads are a thing because I died against the undead

I find playing Evil Wyll or at least power hungry Wyll to be a refreshing experience. I characterize Wyll as someone who while regret making pact for power, still secretly enjoy many benefits of power and have soft spot for evil women.

Agreed. I mean, "I wanted to become a god for YOUUU Uuuu" is such obvious bullshit.

It's akin to, "I thought you'd like me to be with other women. So I'm a better lover!"

Next run, I'm thinking I should romance Wyll, and then have sex with Mizora.

I can't imagine he'd be upset by that.

I think you have to barter his soul for that

I mean she's always offered even if I free him from the contract.

Yeah, Mizzy don't give a shit. She may see pissing off your SO the icing on the cake.

Now Wyll MAY immediately dump you if you do. I don't remember for sure, but I know Karlach does.

Last I did it, Shadowheart was fine with it.

Yeah, but Karlach and Wyll have personal history with Mizora. And I saw a compilation of every character's reactions to it and Karlach for sure dumps you. I just can't remember if Wyll did too.
