Just made it to Underdark , Honour mode is really making me take my time and plan , way more than tactician did. Every big battle is a sweat! Happy to see you still playing wolf
honour mode: i went to the spider boss in act 1, and i decided to wait for level 5. First time in the game after 1 normal run+ 3 tactician runs that i thought ''Well, that's scary, i'll come back later''. They really did a great job. PS: Also i hate that f**ing fight.
@gomugomujosh649 I panicked on the inquisitor and shut off my pc... i didn't know he was a boss and he wiped my partially wounded and exhausted squad in a round lolol
The boyfriend and I are almost finished with your first run (we’re slow due to being to busy playing lol but we’re trying!) but we couldn’t help catching at least the beginning of this. Cant wait to work our way through watching you! Your content is always a pleasure!
8.5 hours into the stream (with a night's sleep while stream on pause) & enjoying it. Just hope my own game arrives before my next birthday in September (lol). I'm already 76 years old, & I'd like time to play this at least a few times. ;)
Dealing with stressful airport delays today and now have a long layover, so I was soooo excited to see this pop up! Hours of entertainment just when I desperately needed it! I also started a female Drow Dark Urge bard a few weeks back - can't wait to see how the runs differ.
Thank you, finally boarded the flight for home! I think I've watched too many of your videos. Every time there was a mishap at the airport (like having to run down and then back up four flights of stairs with my suitcase), I was like, "Are you freaking kidding me right now!?" 😂😢
Sorry about the skipped cut scenes if you were hoping for that! I just can't sit through another hundred hours of cut scenes after I have already done a good & evil run lol
I did a Githyanki Lore Bard. With the skill feat. I made sure to not take any intelligent proficiencies. Because Githyanki. Amazing success in all but two skills. Then a ton of support and control. With a handful of good damage spells.
Finished your Let’s Play and Evil runs so now time to tackle honor mode. Can’t wait to slowly go through all your content. Thanks for keeping me company Wolf. Your content is amazing
Generally if you get experience for talking your way out of a fight, you can't then double dip the experience by going back and killing them. That's what caused so many surprised Pikachu face moments.
I'm 2hrs and 47 minutes in. I remember hearing the song by Alfira for the first time and getting quite emotional. Such a beautiful song. This song and this moment in the game during EA was when I truly realized this game was going to be a special game. A great game.
There are some pretty significant nerfs in honour mode that weren't listed in the patch notes, specifically with DRS, perilous stakes, changes to hasten condition... so far the mode hasn't seemed too different otherwise, definitely some increased intensity leading to more memorable moments
I just completed my redemption Durge playthrough, and I also went for the true Jack of all trades run at the same time! He quickly became next to useless in combat so I pivoted to building him around sinking enemies’ saves. That combined with my Gale who got his spell save DC up to 21 by endgame and my broken DPS Lae’zel and Wyll builds made it so we rolled over everything in our path!
"Oh yeah, I have longstrider as a ritual spell, I'll have to get used to preparing spells before combat again" *doesn't prep longstrider a single time*
Anybidy not taken into the party cannot turn up somewhere later in the story because they have turned into mind flayers. This happens because they are not being protected by the artefact. The only exception is Shadowheart because she has the artefact and finds you before you and your party members turn.
I've been watching a couple playthroughs up to Act 2. I didn't have the game previously but my wife bought it for me as an early Christmas present. I just started my first play-through as The Dark Urge and jumped right into Honour Mode. Wish me luck, just made it to the forest and was luck to get the sword off Zhalik on the ship with command.
For multiclass suggestions, I have designs upon a 2 paladin 10 lore bard so you get divine smites, plus you can only get banishing smites from level 10 bard so that fits the theme. So you can be a close melee character who also uses control spells and can stealth and lockpick
I made my Guardian look like King Diamond and now I kinda want to do a King Diamond Bard run. I usually play female characters but damn, it's a good look.
I’m at the point where I am about to enter the house of hope in honour mode. It has been a stressful journey and the house of hope boss fight can go south quick so wish me luck! Update: just skipped the house of hope fight and took the devil deal. Went to the final boss and (spoiler) had Gale do what he does best. Bit of a cheese way to win but hey a win is a win. Going to flex my fancy gold die to my friends now. According to the save file it took me 38 hours. Good luck on your journey my friends!
@DaBlackX why? I could just fake it with mods, etc. Just make an argument. BG3 is one of the easiest rpgs to come out for years. The first dungeon on unfair in WoTR is harder than the entire game. PoE on path of the damned is much harder. Why do you think so many difficulty mods have come out for the game?
@@azza4044 Ah ya, I forgot personal anecdotes are considered fact these days, especially when it's paired with chest puffery. Carry on "badass in your own mind."
I'm playing a duergar fighter who "took issue" with Astarion putting a knife to his neck. He knocked out the elf, took all his clothes, weapons, and gear, and sold them to Aaron, leaving the elf naked by the crashed nauteloid ship. After a long rest, he returned, revived him, used him as cannon fodder while fighting the briggands, forcing him to use only his fists and without the benefit of clothing or armor. To top it off, the Duergar was slobbering the elf with chairs he'd throw at him, only to revive him and do it all over again. After the fight was finished, the Duergar killed him and took his body to the camp. After advancing a bit at the Grove, he retrieved Astarion's body, took it to the cliff where you defeat the bugbear assassin, and sqce the ungrateful tiefling Here, the duergar revivified Astarion, then shoved him off the cliff. Done. You do NOT put a knife to a duergar's neck!
*spoilers* The cloak you get as dark urge is super broken on assassin rogues, if you end up with one. Chance to turn invisible after every kill, plus stealth bonuses.
The owlbear fight is so much easier when you are at lvl 4 and have Astarion as a ranger with sharpshooter with the crossbow Harold from the Zhentarim Outpost and a monk (I use Karlach often as a monk), and have Shadowheart sneak up and cast silence on the owlbear. First of all you surprise the enemy, and as long as you can keep the owlbear locked in the silence area, she cannot call her consort. Works every time for me on honour mode
Thanks for posting the stream, I have it as background at work 😄 I just finished the spider Matriarch fight in Honour mode. What a fun twist in that fight 😂 I realized that I'm avoiding unnecessary fights in this run. I'm playing as Gale Evocation Wizard 2 / Tempest Cleric 10, with Astarion Gloomstalker Ranger 5 /Assassin 7, Lae'zel 12 Fighter (Battlemaster or Eldritch Knight, not sure) and either Shadowheart as Paladin/Cleric or Paladin/Bard, or Wyll as Eldritch blast machine gun
I heard there’s no falling damage in that fight anymore bc the spiders can teleport and I legitimately don’t know how I’m going to avoid a TPK now 😢 I definitely abused the low hp of those webs and would have gotten my ass kicked so hard otherwise.
@@alissapenridge7516 I just made it to the Underdark. The githyanki patrol almost TPKed me, as they always do 😅 Astarion and Lae'zel went down in the first and second round respectively. I'm nervous about Nere's fight though.
new to watching here, i have currently failed honour mode 6 times mostly due to unexpected things like the harpies near druids. but i am not giving up, current run has got me to the gith creshe
I wondered about watching a dark urge run, but have decided I'd like to see you run this, especially since it's a 'good' role & redemptive. Sounds really cool. I'm gonna have to wait at least two months for my game to arrive, so need to see some bg3 while waiting - lol. Once I learned dark urge is a mysterious background, it's made me intrigued & would like to run it on 2nd or 3rd try.
@@199304kodashepard tru i went in very cocky the first time, usually i use silence as i did on my second and current honor mode run. It’s gone very smooth so far just finished goblin camp and spider queen.
I had exactly what you mention in my run - two characters with counterspell. Lore Bard with 1 level life cleric for armor and heals, Gale as abjuration wiz + 1 Mystra cleric. Main character open hand monk + thief
For the spider fight in honor mode, I snuck around throwing bombs at the spider eggs and then running away. I did this until all the spider eggs were gone and so I just had to fight the queen. This made her legendary action useless to her
From what I tested so far, the legendary actions are not that bad. ( Owlbear, Hag and Spider) You can easily play around or deal with it. The real challenge is obvsiously 1 save and no save scum.
yeh i fought all of them and didn't even notice the legend actions. the only one was the hag where she kept making way more clones than usual. but I lvled to 5 before fighting her so it was a breeze
I am so proud of buying this game in Early Access to support Larian. I have enjoyed this game to the brim (I have 176 hrs under my belt - the most that I have for a single player game till date). Thanks to this stream, I have too started my run with Honor mode. I will be playing alongside this stream, the only difference being that I will have an evil playthrough.
Without "command: drop" maybe you could have given protection from evil and good to the mindflayer and bardic inspiration to him as well. Occasionally he hits strong if buffed (in one of my runs he killed the commander). Or maybe use the purple things to explode both? My first character was a lore Bard with 1 level life cleric, it gets very strong with magical secrets and has decent armor class
I wiped on my first hm run today to the spider queen 😂😂 karlachs pike of returning conveniently decided to not return for the first time (wierd bug) i even took out all of her eggs and i ended up getting ripped by the matriarch when she had 6 hp left 😮😮😮
Shortly before that was the first time I've run away from a battle. I had to look up 'how'... when I failed a persuade check on the ogres haha! Had a fun run, though.
If you would have used vicious mockery on Commander Zhalk you could have imposed disadvantage on one of his attacks each turn and getting him with faerie fire would help all your characters and the mind flayer land hits. I saw someone else place one of the cartilaginous chests in the way of the cambions before the start of the battle to prevent them from being able to join
@@WolfheartFPS yea but it's a cantrip that also does a damage type he doesn't resist. On any difficulty higher than balanced it is a bit more important to use command drop to make him lose his weapon though. Otherwise his damage output can be too high to survive fighting him. It's too bad you forgot to prepare Shadowheart's spells before the battle
(New too DnD so if this isn't plausible for whatever reason, then disregard) I hope they add the ability to play as more races like a Ogre, Bugbear, or Goblin. I would just love to crush my enemies as a dumb Ogre
What is the difficulty level of Honor Mode? Is it "Tactician" + only 1 save or "normal" + only 1 save? I have another question: There is a new achievement called "Group Feinhammer" (Complete the game in honor mode). Can you also get the achievement if you create a custom game and activate honor mode there?
Hi, I am kind of new to D&D and Baldurs Gate 3 game, and learning. I wonder one thing, why you not let Gale use a shield? If there is any special reason for it? I wonder if shield does something negative for a char like Gale?
Seems like you can still save scum in honor mode. Save before battle. Before a TPK happens load the game? Can you not load or quit the game during combat?
Hold up.... how did you get your character creation sliders to work? Mine haven't been working since the previous patch!?!?! (I also can't use the magic mirror, customize the appearances of hirelings, or use whatever that 'Camp Companions' button is supposed to do.)
I went with a Drow for my honour mode Warlock but multiclass once I reacj lvl 4 was thinking with going with a drow durge but I'll do that one in my second honour run😁😁😁😁😁
does bringing the dark mind and or slave mind to the "brain reader" in act 2 do anything? I would think as the dark urge the dark mind might bring something to the table.
Would like to visit your discord if you have one - at some point I would love to stream a let's play series. What equipment do you recommend and what software?
Just started the video but Abjuration wizard is really strong 😅 im playing one in my tactician run and even early game the shield power is so powerful.
Given how many times you've played through this game I sometimes wonder if you intentionally mess up your combat encounters to make the stream or video more entertaining. Also, the male dwarf at the Toll House hasn't been part of the Anders fight since live release. :)
@@WolfheartFPS No you don't always TPK, but I mean c'mon man that Owl bear fight and Toll House fight was just damn sloppy as hell. I also couldn't believe that you were looking for the male dwarf at the Toll House. :)
Honestly I really don't care to always play perfectly in every moment, I am just having a good time & keeping things moving. You should also keep in mind that I am multitasking x100. I have about 50% focus on the game and 50% on what's going on in the chat. With all that said, I do think that people who tend to say things like this don't realize what their own gameplay looks like because you have never played in front of thousands of eyes nor had to multitask on this level in front of thousands of eyes. Most of the errors / sloppiness that you do in your runs will go unnoticed. I don't mind people calling out my errors, but I'd encourage you to be a little less condescending in future so we can interact in a meaningful way. Otherwise just like you implying that I am stupid with the way I play, it makes me think you are stupid too. That's not good for either of us :) You are a long time viewer & I appreciate all of your support, which is the only reason why I even took the time to respond fully to this! @@simdoughnut659
@@WolfheartFPS OMG Dude Chill. I was just teasing you a little bit, I wasn't trying to be malicious in the slightest. Like you I have done those encounters so many times, that they are nearly muscle memory for me now. You could have easily ignored my comment and I would have been fine with that. I didn't say nor imply you were stupid, and yes I do in fact know what it's like to both play live in front of a large crowds of people and also what it's like to play games under pressure in competive scenarios where money is on the line. I made no assumptions about you, your intelligence or your character, and in the future I would greatly appreciate it if you refrained from making assumptions about me. Have Fun :)!
You can still tease in a condescending manner my man lol But ok sure! Fair enough. Enjoy your weekend & let us know what you did on the big stages? That sounds pretty bad ass. Had a few friends that were pro Paladins players when it was big. @@simdoughnut659
With magical secrets from the Lore Bars you can pickup key wizard spells like Fireball or Counterspell. I like the idea of Karlach, Lae'Zel and Shadowheart. I'd probably keep Shadowheart a Tempest cleric or War domain cleric.
5 hours 23 minutes in. Cure Wounds, I agree with Wolf its not a good spell. Its an action and it's touch spell and it isn't all that effective. It is not a good use of a spell slot. In fact I only use healing word when allies go down. I find Short rests and healing potions are better and I typically have lots of them. There is a big misunderstanding that Clerics are healers. In D&D this really isn't their primary focus. They are much better at buffing and dealing damage then they are at healing. It's very different then most video games. *Edit in D&D 5e there is a way to make it so healing spells always heal a max amount. This 100% makes spell liek cure would a lot better. However in BG3 having short rests potions and camp supplies a plenty I would still question if its a good use of a spell slot.....maybe.
Not taking Friend is a mistake. Ya, they will agro on you, just don't use it with people who you actually want to be friends with. Its far too valuable not to use.
Spider fight.was super easy for me I lured them all into the caves by the well entrance and the big one can't follow so I killed all the offspring and went back after a long rest and killed big spider fresh. Made the legendary action useless
For many it can be hard to find room for a warlock companion. The warlock class is the least understood and at face value not needed. That is typically why I don't run him even though you can technically respec, it doesn't feel right respecing. Wyll's story is also bit more grounded and may come across as less exciting side when compared to vampire astarion, goddess touched gale etc With that said he is picked more than Lae'zel. The reason you seem to be implying (him being black) likely plays some role, although I would say minor, as many players do naturally tend to choose characters that look more similar to themselves but I don't think there's any malice behind most players who naturally do this.
Honestly, I didn’t think even for a single second to the colour of his skin… that’s of zero relevance to me! Problem with the warlock class is that it doesn’t scale well on its own, while it’s awesome in multiclass. Perhaps picking him up and dipping into sorcerer or bard would make him a viable companion.
The amount of 55% you hit during that owlbear fight made me crazy. I’m over here missing multiple 85-95% in a row 😂
RNG always has streaks. If it don't know that, you havent rolled enough dice in your life.
@@horrido66699% of dice rollers quit right before rolling 5 crits in a roll

Watching the joy drain from your face after the spider teleported back up genuinely killed me lol
still alive
So that’s progress
For now. 😮
I did deep gnome dark urge bard & I'm still alive also. I killed the commander & mind flayer in the nautiloid, which makes for a good start.
Just tell me one thing.
How are you through the tomb and the whole starting area, inside the camp, and not over 1.9k gold? I never had this occure...

I am so proud of buying this game in Early Access to support Larian. I have enjoyed this game to the brim (I have 176 hrs under my belt - the most that I have for a single player game till date). Thanks to this stream, I have too started my run with Honor mode. I will be playing alongside this stream, the only difference being that I will have an evil playthrough.
Without "command: drop" maybe you could have given protection from evil and good to the mindflayer and bardic inspiration to him as well. Occasionally he hits strong if buffed (in one of my runs he killed the commander). Or maybe use the purple things to explode both?
My first character was a lore Bard with 1 level life cleric, it gets very strong with magical secrets and has decent armor class
I wiped on my first hm run today to the spider queen 😂😂 karlachs pike of returning conveniently decided to not return for the first time (wierd bug) i even took out all of her eggs and i ended up getting ripped by the matriarch when she had 6 hp left 😮😮😮
If you can get by with three characters you can leave one in the party but in camp and never wipe.
Man, the owlbears TPKed me. I killed one and got the other down to 30, but you made it seem not that bad 😅
You got this on your second try!!
(10 hour Wolf stream)
Me: oh boy!
Show- the 10th kingdom
Githyanki patrol got me. A couple of hundred XP away from lv 4. Bad roll. They killed me before I even had a turn, impressive efficiency.
Damn man. Attempting that fight at level 3 is risky!!! Those level 5 extra attacks from them are hard to stay alive through.
@WolfheartFPS I didn't want it to be a fight lol... Rolled a 1 on the persuade.
Shortly before that was the first time I've run away from a battle. I had to look up 'how'... when I failed a persuade check on the ogres haha! Had a fun run, though.
If you would have used vicious mockery on Commander Zhalk you could have imposed disadvantage on one of his attacks each turn and getting him with faerie fire would help all your characters and the mind flayer land hits. I saw someone else place one of the cartilaginous chests in the way of the cambions before the start of the battle to prevent them from being able to join
The percentage chance for that cantrip landing was probably pretty low haha
@@WolfheartFPS yea but it's a cantrip that also does a damage type he doesn't resist. On any difficulty higher than balanced it is a bit more important to use command drop to make him lose his weapon though. Otherwise his damage output can be too high to survive fighting him. It's too bad you forgot to prepare Shadowheart's spells before the battle
for the harpy fight on honor mode def run sanctuary and use it on the kid.
Another name for honour mode could have been real D&D mode lol
🤣
You got quite a ways - lol - good night!
I wonder if you can cast featherfall on the matriarch via the spell or throw a potion at her, then push her down to the underdark
(New too DnD so if this isn't plausible for whatever reason, then disregard) I hope they add the ability to play as more races like a Ogre, Bugbear, or Goblin. I would just love to crush my enemies as a dumb Ogre
What is the difficulty level of Honor Mode? Is it "Tactician" + only 1 save or "normal" + only 1 save?
I have another question: There is a new achievement called "Group Feinhammer" (Complete the game in honor mode). Can you also get the achievement if you create a custom game and activate honor mode there?
1:05:23 straight facts 🎉 enjoy the game!
Hi, I am kind of new to D&D and Baldurs Gate 3 game, and learning.
I wonder one thing, why you not let Gale use a shield? If there is any special reason for it?
I wonder if shield does something negative for a char like Gale?
I do let him use a shield. Perhaps I just didn't do it on my first session.
I’ve failed the 2 skill check to get shadowheart out on 2 different solo attempts. Doesn’t really mean anything, but what are the odds?
nearly lvl 5. Honor mode is quite fun.
Seems like you can still save scum in honor mode. Save before battle. Before a TPK happens load the game? Can you not load or quit the game during combat?
It re-saves when you close the game unless you really cheese it and turn off your whole device to make it not save
Hold up.... how did you get your character creation sliders to work? Mine haven't been working since the previous patch!?!?! (I also can't use the magic mirror, customize the appearances of hirelings, or use whatever that 'Camp Companions' button is supposed to do.)
Let me guess, Wolfheart got the golden die. I need that save and load, even though I found tactician too easy with my powerful sorlock.
Anyone else here thinking he looks just like that foot fetish dude in House of the Dragon (master of whispers)
Well I've gotten Viserys and Ser Cole comments before... gotta say the whisper guy is a first for me 😂😂😂
Going shovelless seems difficult just from dark urge rp perspective.
I went with a Drow for my honour mode Warlock but multiclass once I reacj lvl 4 was thinking with going with a drow durge but I'll do that one in my second honour run😁😁😁😁😁

Watching to see how you build the party, im new
does bringing the dark mind and or slave mind to the "brain reader" in act 2 do anything? I would think as the dark urge the dark mind might bring something to the table.
Would like to visit your discord if you have one - at some point I would love to stream a let's play series. What equipment do you recommend and what software?
Found it! LOL
I tried playing the Dark Urge but after the camp episode with Alfira.... I deleted the campaign...
It's pretty shocking, even to this old gamer. I tried conjuring water over that spot and just couldn't cleanse the area... Or the guilt in my heart.
Haha it's a wake up call for the character you are playing that's for sure
There's a way to save Alfira and condemn another bard. You have to make Alfira unconcious with non-lethal melee weapon attacks before the party
Me too, that was too dark of an urge for me :)
Just started the video but Abjuration wizard is really strong 😅 im playing one in my tactician run and even early game the shield power is so powerful.
Abjuration wizard with Armor or Agathys is stupidly good.
I actually might respec into abjuration next session
i have still not finished this i keep starting new play throughs because i want to see and try new things, i am the only one with this issue
Given how many times you've played through this game I sometimes wonder if you intentionally mess up your combat encounters to make the stream or video more entertaining. Also, the male dwarf at the Toll House hasn't been part of the Anders fight since live release. :)
Can you give me an example of what "mess up" means? I don't recall TPKing haha
@@WolfheartFPS No you don't always TPK, but I mean c'mon man that Owl bear fight and Toll House fight was just damn sloppy as hell. I also couldn't believe that you were looking for the male dwarf at the Toll House. :)
Honestly I really don't care to always play perfectly in every moment, I am just having a good time & keeping things moving. You should also keep in mind that I am multitasking x100. I have about 50% focus on the game and 50% on what's going on in the chat.
With all that said, I do think that people who tend to say things like this don't realize what their own gameplay looks like because you have never played in front of thousands of eyes nor had to multitask on this level in front of thousands of eyes. Most of the errors / sloppiness that you do in your runs will go unnoticed.
I don't mind people calling out my errors, but I'd encourage you to be a little less condescending in future so we can interact in a meaningful way. Otherwise just like you implying that I am stupid with the way I play, it makes me think you are stupid too. That's not good for either of us :) You are a long time viewer & I appreciate all of your support, which is the only reason why I even took the time to respond fully to this! @@simdoughnut659
@@WolfheartFPS OMG Dude Chill. I was just teasing you a little bit, I wasn't trying to be malicious in the slightest. Like you I have done those encounters so many times, that they are nearly muscle memory for me now. You could have easily ignored my comment and I would have been fine with that.
I didn't say nor imply you were stupid, and yes I do in fact know what it's like to both play live in front of a large crowds of people and also what it's like to play games under pressure in competive scenarios where money is on the line. I made no assumptions about you, your intelligence or your character, and in the future I would greatly appreciate it if you refrained from making assumptions about me. Have Fun :)!
You can still tease in a condescending manner my man lol But ok sure! Fair enough. Enjoy your weekend & let us know what you did on the big stages? That sounds pretty bad ass. Had a few friends that were pro Paladins players when it was big. @@simdoughnut659
With magical secrets from the Lore Bars you can pickup key wizard spells like Fireball or Counterspell.
I like the idea of Karlach, Lae'Zel and Shadowheart.
I'd probably keep Shadowheart a Tempest cleric or War domain cleric.
I want to TPF in a stupid way... how prophetic
5 hours 23 minutes in. Cure Wounds, I agree with Wolf its not a good spell. Its an action and it's touch spell and it isn't all that effective. It is not a good use of a spell slot. In fact I only use healing word when allies go down. I find Short rests and healing potions are better and I typically have lots of them. There is a big misunderstanding that Clerics are healers. In D&D this really isn't their primary focus. They are much better at buffing and dealing damage then they are at healing. It's very different then most video games.
*Edit in D&D 5e there is a way to make it so healing spells always heal a max amount. This 100% makes spell liek cure would a lot better. However in BG3 having short rests potions and camp supplies a plenty I would still question if its a good use of a spell slot.....maybe.
Can you make Honour mode more difficult? For example changing the requirements for camp supplies to 160?
Nope all you can do is turn karmic dice on or off
Not taking Friend is a mistake. Ya, they will agro on you, just don't use it with people who you actually want to be friends with. Its far too valuable not to use.
"Mistake" is not the correct word to use here.
Spider fight.was super easy for me I lured them all into the caves by the well entrance and the big one can't follow so I killed all the offspring and went back after a long rest and killed big spider fresh. Made the legendary action useless
Hate to be this guy but Minthara won’t be at moonrise even with none lethal attack
Quite not many groups use Wyll in their formation, right? I wonder why …
For many it can be hard to find room for a warlock companion. The warlock class is the least understood and at face value not needed. That is typically why I don't run him even though you can technically respec, it doesn't feel right respecing. Wyll's story is also bit more grounded and may come across as less exciting side when compared to vampire astarion, goddess touched gale etc With that said he is picked more than Lae'zel. The reason you seem to be implying (him being black) likely plays some role, although I would say minor, as many players do naturally tend to choose characters that look more similar to themselves but I don't think there's any malice behind most players who naturally do this.
Honestly, I didn’t think even for a single second to the colour of his skin… that’s of zero relevance to me!
Problem with the warlock class is that it doesn’t scale well on its own, while it’s awesome in multiclass. Perhaps picking him up and dipping into sorcerer or bard would make him a viable companion.
I’m going to go full paladin party, I think.
I respect it
10 hours !!!! what the hellllll !!!!! 🤣
Lolll
All the missed shots at 65% is infuriating.
Why is it important to wait to have all party members at the same level?
I just like to level them all up at the same time haha it's not actually important
@@WolfheartFPS starting my first run ever after watching most of your streams! You’re a great inspiration!
What are the chances....I did a Female Drow Durge run and her name was Lilly. Only difference was I went for the Warlock/fighter/sorcerer build
Awesome
