oh man, I'm really tempted to recreate my Lawful Good Hexblade Warlock. I guess the opportunities to roleplay an insane fallen paladin aren't as prevalent though.

Not sure if this is helpful, but BG3 is on sale until tomorrow morning.

I havent been able to play yet, so I'm incredibly excited.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

$48. "On sale"

It will get cheaper, probably around Christmas.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago

20% is 20%. It won't be dirt cheap for another year or two. If you'd prefer to wait until Christmas in hopes of saving $3, more power to you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

Is that not a sale? It'll be even cheaper next Christmas too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Any new story line?

Asks the coward who refuses to do an evil durge run.

It'll be great to actually play Drunken Master Monk instead of just being an Open Fist Monk who drank all the time.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

I feel the same way, but in real life.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's pretty awesome! The best game I've ever played just keeps on giving me more stuff even though I've already paid them, and idk why! Thanks Larian!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

because it means more people will pick up bg3 and probably buy the next thing they make as well

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And all of them are fuckable

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Big naturals Withers romance option when?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago

Death Domain clerics? Fuck yeah! I can make my actual PnP Cleric now.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I just hope they add the functionality to enable all relevant mods with the push of a single button. At least on console, we literally have to enable each mod, one by one.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh shit I must have missed there's mods on console now. Are there any that significantly change the game? I might jump back in if it feels different to play cos I pretty much did everything I could and even beat it on the hardest difficulty, although that took 2 playthroughs since I died on the last boss the first time round.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hop back in then! The mods are great! I started a new DUrge campaign as Dread Overload Warlock, but there's some more subclasses added, you can give everyone wings, they're are weapons that improve along with your characters, cheater items if that's your thing, the mods are a lot of fun

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What are some other cool mods to check out?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

I've downloaded a bunch of dice skins and subclasses. I've yet to actually finish the game bc I keep changing mods.

I like the mystic class I just played. Just started a new one with an Astral Weaver.

I'm using party size mod and double xp mod but upped the difficulty and installed a mod that ups enemy stats if the party exceeds 5 people.

I've actually got over a dozen mods installed - mostly QoL mods and cosmetic.

I had the same reaction, and looked it up to learn that consoles do indeed have curated mods that can be used. The one I wanted to use the most, expanding the number of party members that can be controlled in battle, is there, so I might just have to do another playthrough...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Where do you get the mods? I have no idea how to install a mod on console.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I haven't played it since they were added, so I'm not sure myself. Maybe this will help. If you have an Xbox maybe it's similar?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Oh, it's built right into the game? That's sweet!

Edit: thank you!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

The tradeoff of using a console's walled garden as opposed to PC: less options, but simpler to use.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Man, I still haven't had time to do my wild mage run. Granted a friend wanted in on that for the shenanigans.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Oooh maybe just inspired my next run.

But lol I should go finish the first... Took too long a break and now I'm all "wtf was I doing" when I load back in.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do you mean sorcerer, or are you multi-classing?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, the sorcerer subclass. From what I understand it's not the cow-falling-from-the-sky good times from BG2 though. Might need mods for real craziness.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

yeah, there's a disappointingly small number of effects, and that generally aren't that crazy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Cool. Now add Artificer.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Finally, a proper hexblade!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I'm SO EXCITED LETS GOOO

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Glorious.

Let's hope Sony doesn't snatch them up too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Larian seems to have some actual principles, which is quite rare these days.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Sven doesn't seem interested in being bought out.

Also Tencent already has some claws in Larian.
