How are everyone’s stories coming along? Have you finished the game? If so how many times?

What tips, remarks or other things of note do you have that you want to discuss here?

As always try to keep things as spoiler free as possible.

Also should I do these posts more regularly (shows up on people’s feeds more and so has more traction) or like this is fine. Definitely don’t want to spam people.

Lucky rolls to you all!

    About 50 hours and just got my ass handed to me by Fist guy or whatever at the inn while most of my party had 1 HP left, so there’s that. This is my first playthrough.

    I just finished my first play through. My friend hosted and I joined. He wanted to go “good” on tactician difficulty. So, we did. It took us 25 days. We got a lot of the more difficult achievements out of the way.

    Next time I’m hosting and we’re doing an evil play through. Larian killed it. One of my better purchases this year.

    After seeing an article about dark urge and how special it is I decided to give it a shot. I also read a comment on here saying romance between Shadowheart and Seluna’s cleric MC is great. So I decided to combine those two things for my 3rd playthrough! ( i have yet to experience act 2 btw…think I have a problem)

    I made a Seldarine drow with the idea being that she used to be bloodthirsty Lolth sworn but eventually she found Seluna and became her cleric, now she’s trying to be better. I thought that worked well with heroic dark urge story I wanted and I get to experience the enemies to lovers relationship with shadowheart. Don’t know if the way the story will unravel will validate my headcanoned backstory for her but so far I’m quite enjoying it.

    This is also the first playthrough where I met Timber the squirrel, I didn’t know he was in the game before this playthrough, I was kinda excited to meet him…yeah.

      Im at the end of my durge run rn. My advice would be to not shy away from doing evil things despite what other people say about losing out on content. You really dont miss that much, and you get some pretty sweet cutscenes, especially if you commit to it. Plus, astarion and minthara will support you the entire way on your descent into darkness :)

        You know I would do that if for nothing else than just for the sake of variety, but I’m such a coward >.> Just don’t have the stomach for it lol. The idea of this messed up person redeeming themselves is appealing to me, I’m not doing 100% “goody two shoes” kinda character but more of a reluctant hero who’s still bit of a dick. Maybe I’ll start another playthrough where I play the way you’re suggesting…I’ll never experience act 2 at this rate <.<

    I’m fairly fresh into act 3, just did the shadowheart part and man, that was heavy.

    Definitely gonna be doing a new play though with my opposite choices though.

    I do gotta say, I’m enjoying the challenge of tactician but man does my lvl 11 monk suck and is just so squishy, anyone got any recommendations to strengthen her up to take more than 2 hits?

      Multiclass into 3 levels of Rogue and pick the thief subclass for additional bonus action to dish out unarmed strikes like a mad man.

    Close to 200 hours and I’m still in Act 2. Even with all the patches and hotfixes, my game is still crashing all the time. I tried to play for a few hours yesterday and had to have over 10 crashes. Sometimes it crashes even when I’m loading into the game. My wife has an almost identical setup and experiencing just as many crashes, but she’s running two campaigns side by side, good and evil, and is currently in Act 3 with both.

    Still fucking love this game tho!

    It’s not like my rig is ancient either…

      Getting rid of one of your cards would probably resolve most of your issues. SLI hasn’t been properly supported in a decade.

        Holy shit dude you did it! I disabled SLI and I didn’t have a SINGLE crash yesterday. I was able to make it past A2 in one sitting. It was great!!!
