    You heard wrong about the Dark Urge. Don't worry, so did I.
    a) It's full customisable except for your background
    b) You're not necessarily evil. You're driven to do evil acts, but you can choose to resist the urge.

      To be fair, she can bestow her help to one of her worshiper when she feels like it, for a time, before she betrays her, and she has the perks of not playing a man, which about multiply her chance of being helped by Lolth by infinity I guesse :p.

      @@shanz7758 True, especially if her character either has something Lolth wants or is in a position to get something Lolth wants.
      I will admit I can't wait to get my hands on the game. I really want to see if you can create a Cleric of Lolth in the game, I haven't seen anyone make a Drow Cleric, and I'm really curious if Lolth becomes an option.

      You can play a Lolth cleric and you will get specific dialogue options for it. For example when talking to Shadowheart you can compare Shar worship with your own.
      There's a mod you can use to set your God choice without being a cleric and it's great to see all the interactions that you'd miss out on.

    BG3 is an incredible intro to the wonderful world of CRPGs! If you keep enjoying it, I can't recommend enough checking out other games, like Pathfinder Kingmaker/Wrath of the Righteous, or Larian's previous Divinity games. And if you feel particularly oldschool, try the original Baldurs Gate games, they are beyond fantastic, especially BG2. And finally, I can't forget to mention Planescape Torment, a game with easily the best writing in history of video games.

    Just a note for people in the future. during character creation, it is better to have a 10 in Intelligence and a 9 in Strength than an 8 in Strength and an 11 in Intelligence. Even though the attribute bonus' are the same for both arrangements, your strength affects your carry weight, and a 9 strength can carry more than an 8 strength.

I'm also playing a Lolth-Sworn Drow Warlock too (GOO) but with a few levels of Vengeance Paladin, though that's in multiplayer with my partner (he's playing a certain tiefling Origin character.) She's actually a Dark Urge incarnation; that one origin is actually fully customizable, though it seems better for people who've played the first two games or already played this one. I love watching her struggle to be good despite Lolth, the GOO, the Urge, and other forces tugging her towards evil! My solo playthrough is a duergar Archfey Warlock/Bard; Underdark characters are honestly the most fun if you ask me. And I love Astarion! You can hardly recognize him as the voice of Gavin Reed/Kamski.

    Nice to see you play and enjoy this game. The experience is probably a bit different for me since I am a huge D&D nerd and have played and loved Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 when they came out.
    I am playing as a female, human Monk. Romance wise things aren't settled yet, although it looks like it will be between Shadowheart and our Gith friend Lae'zel.
    However, I have also already created 5 other characters I will choose from for my next playthrough, or maybe even start a second playthrough while the first is still going.
    I know a few people who don't like the turn-based combat saying the fights are boring and take too long. While I can understand where they are coming from it is exactly the opposite for me. It feels like a fight in a D&D session and since it has been literally decades since I had a chance to actually play D&D myself this really scratches an itch for me.
    I hope you keep having fun with this.

    as im obsessed with orcs in every game my first character was a halforc warlock, but at arround level 2-3 i wasnt happy with how my character turned out(dont ask me why but it really bothered me that i had so much mele buffs from half orc, while i was a sleppslinging warlock..
    so i rerolled and made a halfling warlock/bard with currently 16dex and19chr(soon to be 20) at level4! still act one.
    to be honest im really happy that i rerolled my character too, since i never played a baldursgate before and have almost no idea about dnd.
    so i now have in my eyes the perfect stats for my build and how i want to play the game.
    im really excited to see how you will handle being a warlock yourself :D

    I went with Asmodeus Tiefling Sorcerer, with Draconic bloodline.
    So far Shadowheart has my attention, though there’s a bad boy that can’t get enough of me, and a new hot-blooded one that seems like she might be lots of fun.
    Does high charisma mean everyone has the hots for me? Don’t know but I kinda like it.

    Actually the difference between lolthsworn and seldarine isn't really that in one you are in a cult and in the other you aren't. The Seldarine is actually the name of the Elver Pantheon in Dungeons and dragons so, a Seldarine drow is more a drow that refuses Lolth's teachings, usually wants to live in the surface, sometimes amongst their elven cousins!

    Well I've got 3 characters running at the moment 2 online and 1 offline (my main). My main character is based on my Tuesday character I'm playing with some changes (since there's no bladesinger or proper Polymorph spell): So I'm going with a fighter/druid(moon) dual wielder; She's obsessed with the Fey and believe them to be her friends, she's a good person but mischief prone XD The online characters are a drow oathbreaker paladin/warlock to synergize with my friend's necromancer, and a half-elf thief/gloomstalker.

    I've played through the game three times now and watched multiple playthroughs and it was always a smooth scene on my PS5.
    I don't know if that was a PC issue or what, but it's a shame that that happened while you were streaming it; because it looked terrible 😅

    Hey, my first playthrough on normal mode was as a elven Cleric of Selune and her love partner was Shadowheart. The story revolved around our belief systems and it was so important to convert her to Selune. I succeeded. Shadowheart and Wyll were the only survivors though. My second playthrough on tactical mode is as a human Paladin who is also in a relationship with Shadowheart. He has two of three parts of the crown so the campaign is almost over. My third playthrough is as a Githyanki Ranger mainly because I was interested in the interactions with Lazael. Still in Act 1. My fourth playthrough is as a half elf dark urge Warlock on easymode because I only wanted to see the story. Quite interesting. Also stuck in Act three with 2/3 stones. My fifth campaign is as a dwarven Monk on tactical that is currently in the underdark (second half of Act 1). I am not happy with him because he seems to miss 50% or more of his hits. I am 360 hours deep into the game.

  • @dotanon
    @dotanon Год назад

    I made a halfling bard, and tried to be as good-hearted as possible. I romanced shadowheart, but we never actually did anything sexual. But she would speak fondly of me and confide in me and I consider it a romance nonetheless.
    Eventually in act 2 when she has a bit of a pivotal character moment, I was unable to convince her to give up on a certain goal of hers, and killed her out of moral obligation. I couldn't bring myself to reload because I kind of liked it from a roleplay perspective. Tragedy is interesting haha.

    Ooooh, a Lolth-Sworn Drow playthrough...intriguing! Currently a lady Seldarine Drow Bard myself. There are some great Drown-specific lines of dialogue/conversations that reward the player well for choosing to be a Drow. I went far enough in with a Shadowheart romance to where i wouldn't feel it'd be in-character to leave her, but my next playthrough I'll be romancing Lae'Zel (or Bae'Zel if I may, I adore her).
    No shame being a complete newcomer and being a bit thrown due to all the new lingo, you'll pick it up as you go. I've played all the other D&D games of old, and am not a Forgotten Realms fan (the official main D&D setting that I never cared enough about to remember much of anything from before), but this game is good enough to actually engage me and get me invested, you should be in for a good ride with this one.

    • @Cynthetic
      @Cynthetic  Год назад +2

      Drow specific lines are so fun! I really didn't know anything about Drow society when I picked the character, or Lolth-sworn for that matter, but I'm really vibing with the Lolth Drow roleplay. I'm really happy you are enjoying the game!
