If you are a level 12 fighter and a level 8 paladin, you are gonna be swole AF. You could have 9 fuckin' smites in one turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a level 20 mod that adds attribute gains too, but I don’t use that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, this isn’t a JRPG that you can really grind with. Unless you’re modding there’s a limited number of exp available for each Act. I think his level is fine because there is still actually a lot of act 1 left, but I was level 6 when I started Act 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goal is to be at least level 5. But I'm really taking my time in act 1 and making sure I do whats available to me. Last playthrough I moved on the Act 2 at level 4 and got absolutely demolished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 There's a touching tribute in Baldur's Gate 3 to a BG2-loving dad with Alzheimer's: 'he listened to my description with a child-like glee I haven't seen in a while' | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM A bulging binder of correspondence between Golbraith and his son, lovingly preserved. Quote Back in the early access of Baldur's Gate 3, a player by the name of Solfalia wrote a heartfelt thank-you to Larian Studios. His father had been recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and it was unlikely that he would be able to play the full game: "This is more than an Early Access for me, it's another adventure I can go on with my old man and make some good memories." In a follow-up post on the game's forums, Solfalia confirmed that he "did end up playing with him that Christmas, and it was good fun—we enjoyed remembering the old BG2 days and getting into trouble in the new one." What's more, Solfalia explained that after his initial post, one of the writers from the game reached out: "It turns out my message had resonated with quite a few of you, as many of us have experienced the struggle of a family member with Alzheimer's or Dementia, and superwriter"—a name he chooses to respect the writer's privacy—"was emailing me to ask if I would be open to having something included in the game to honour my father." Once the game launched, Solfalia asked where he could find the tribute, saying that he didn't want to miss it during his playthrough. "I was expecting a mention in a random book, or a plaque, but I was secretly hoping for a NPC with a one-liner"—but it turns out that the superwriter had gone above and beyond. They directed Solfalia to the home of one illithid hunter Golbraith, "where the mighty Golbraith Stredivas can be found. A mindflayer hunter of great renown, he has since retired and now spends his days writing—in the hopes of passing his knowledge on to future generations." Journeying there, he discovered Golbraith not only had multiple lines of dialogue, but that the house was littered with heartfelt details. "'The stack of letters between Golbraith and his son put a lump in my throat." I decided to boot up the game and head on over myself, having a save in the Lower City—the letters themselves simply read: "A bulging binder of correspondence between Golbraith and his son, lovingly preserved." I also spoke with the NPC himself, whose words are deeply touching. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I've seen it (accurately described) as: Act 1+ Act 2 = BG3 Act 3 = BG4 In terms of total gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I just finished the foundry quest. Spoiler I ended up blowing it up. Not a great outcome overall. And I didn’t let the guys kill the last Gondian so I don’t think I can count on their support in the end. I really struggled keeping those little guys alive throughout the entire quest line, and I like those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gale is the only male companion that doesn't annoy me for coming on to me despite me not romancing him because it actually feels like it makes sense for his personality.

If you are a full spellcaster like Wizard or Sorceror he defiantly is redundant, but if you are playing a more melee focus having him in the party is a must. A wizard is a beast and can grow their spell book so much as Larian allows you to learn new cantrips on top of your level spell. Then throw him being an evocation wizard allows you to drop fireballs, wall of fire, and other big spells without worry of hitting your own party. Nothing beats using the void bombs pulling a bunch of enemies into a small area and then dropping a 5th level fireball on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
