I mean, she’s a cleric by default. Insanely useful no matter what your team composition is. And flexible enough to compliment any setup you want. What are you going to do, NOT use Guidance in your run!?

She’s also got a core storyline in a fundamental area of the map.
Bunnylux@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I re-specced her as a life domain cleric and spammed heals, wouldn’t have stood a chance without it
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Light and War are really strong. By either reducing enemy chance to hit, to not take damage in the first place, or ensuring your team gets those hits in, reducing enemy count and the amount of damage you can take.

I mean, there’s a necklace for guidance.
Ilflish@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Also, of the three ladies (you will typically find in your first playthrough, sorry Minthara) she is the last you can romance, so if your are a completionist you will end with her (I regret not making a save)
girl@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I just got to the sex scene with Shadowheart. Her white hair turned back to black for the cutscene lol
zik@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s just how good you are.
Grass@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
This made me chuckle.
Apeman42@lemmy.world 11 months ago
People woefully underappreciate my big tiddy Gith girlfriend.
Necronomicommunist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Honestly wasn’t on the Githyanki train until Lae’Zel said something akin to “I’ll claim what’s mine one night soon”. Then? Choo Choo.
micka190@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Me: “Damn Lae’Zel, you don’t have to be such a bitch constantly.”
Lae’Zel: “You are competent, and worthy. Tonight, I will find you, and claim what is mine.”
Me: “Yes, ma’am.”
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 months ago
Which gith has big tiddies? 🤔
DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 11 months ago
Relatively?
VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Agreed. Loved the sunset watching scene with her. Her character grows so much by the end.
Toribor@corndog.social 11 months ago
Pretty sure at least a million of those pets for Scratch are from me.
hrimfaxi_work@midwest.social 11 months ago
I’d probably still be at the emerald grove if they hadn’t limited the number of Scratch’s pets per interaction.

Literally nothing could have prepared me for this being a thing.
sneezymrmilo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Considering how long this game is. Those are seriously impressive numbers. Congratulations Larian on the success of probably my favorite game of all time.
Seasoned_Greetings@lemm.ee 11 months ago
If you haven’t already, give divinity original sin 2 a try. BG3 was built on the back of a game just as complex and satisfying, with a ton of the same exact mechanics, that went under appreciated because Larian wasn’t a big studio with a well known ip.
You can catch it on sale pretty regularly for like $5. I bought it on release back in the day and I still play through that game like once a year.
sneezymrmilo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve actually put several hundred hours into div OS 2. Its one of my fav games and the reason I was so excited about BG3. Larian is truly the GOAT.
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I have DOS2 on my wishlist, I guess I just need to buy it.
Buffalox@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Congratulations to Larian Studios and to the millions of players who enjoy their games.
phoneymouse@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I never played DnD. I bought it because of the rave reviews and it’s been fun. Glad to support real AAA without the upsell shenanigans.
Anticorp@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Idk about most popular, just the one that occurs most naturally. I tried to get with Karlach and it never happened. I never tried to get with Shadowheart, but it still happened.
CluelessLemmyng@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
There was a bug where Karlachs romance never materialized in Act 2 if you didn’t do things in a specific order.
Anticorp@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Is that fixed? I’m on my second playthrough and about to move to act 2.
Goferking0@ttrpg.network 11 months ago
Does it still fail if you don’t wait a long time in act 2?
micka190@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve literally only talked to Shadowheart when the game forces me to (wanted to romance her on a different playthrough), and if I ask her about our relationship after the goblin stronghold she literally goes on and on about how I’m her closest confident and that she’s a completely different woman now. All the other NPCs also offered to fuck during the celebration, despite me being confrontational with some of them.
This is after all the patches to romance stats, too.
Wish they didn’t throw themselves at the player’s feet so hard, to be honest.
huginn@feddit.it 11 months ago
Minthy makes you climb a mountain of corpses first heart ❤️
Anticorp@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I didn’t get to talk to anyone at the party after defeating the goblin leaders. I think it’s because I went to a long rest before talking to Halsten back at the grove. Everyone was there, but initiating conversations did nothing.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 months ago
Does it? I did like the first main bit of the story and Lizzy was already to bounce on it.
Everyone else seems to take a lot longer to get cooking.
Anticorp@lemmy.world 11 months ago
True, Lae’zel was pretty horny. I didn’t have her in my first playthrough, so I didn’t realize how forward she is until this current playthrough. I laughed that one of the responses to her initial advance is “just one word, ew!”. Haha!
JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 11 months ago
My save must be bugged. Still haven’t managed to bang anyone. Not even Halsin despite a bunch of them saying they are interested.
shadowSprite@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Halsin makes you wait til Act 3. Got to lift the shadow curse first.
JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m already there…
ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
two monster-girls
reject them, choose the half-elf
People hate living out their wildest dreams, I guess.
Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Hey man, sleeping with elves and learning magic IS my wildest dreams, my next dreams are fucking the monsters or aliens
Strobelt@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Well, the gith are aliens after all, aren’t them? Also as infernal are kind of alien/extraplanar you could say Wil and Karlach are at least half-alien
vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
She’s the only human woman, so it makes sense that she’d be the most popular.
scops@reddthat.com 11 months ago
Well, half-elf. But yeah, pointy ears are a bit more appealing than green skin and short noses or red skin and horns, I guess. People are boring.
Smite6645@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
First play through I went SH and felt very empathetic for Karlach’s storyline. Second playthrough I went Karlach and found it kinda cringe.
M154nthr0p3@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I don’t use Steam, GOG, or Larian launchers to play the game. I also play off-line. I wonder how many people have completed the game but weren’t counted.
mojo@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Well that was incredibly obvious lol
callouscomic@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I don’t understand the appeal. Gamers rage about how RNG ruins games, and the biggest game of the year is totally based in RNG.
Then there’s the hornyness. Even the trailers made this game seem like it’s just about who you can bang.
Obonga@feddit.de 11 months ago
Have you considered that the people raging about a thing and the people enjoying the same thing might be different people?
Maalus@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Bad rng ruins games. When it’s done correctly, it’s fun. You have to seperate what’s fun from what’s not. It’s fun to hit a 20 and instantly delete something form existence. It is not fun to “do everything right” and still be punished for it.
Pronell@lemmy.world 11 months ago
My first playthrough I slept with the Emperor and then Wyll, and ended up with Wyll. I killed Karlach for Wyll.
Second one I was with Lae’zel but was a durge. I wanted to be with Karlach since I didn’t have her on my first playthrough but then I killed Isobel. That dooms Karlach.
So this time I’m aiming for Karlach. She’s so fun!
brezel@kbin.social 11 months ago
this is by far the best game i have played in many years!
xantoxis@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Oh bet, the normal-looking human woman is the most popular? Wild
phoneymouse@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s awfully speciesist of everyone.
DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 11 months ago
Well the other options are
Leathery Space Nazi (She do be easy tho)
Burn Your Dick Off (But she is cool tho)
Asshole Vamp (I can fix him. Oh, no, I can’t, he’s a fuckin vampire)
White Knight Warlock (Maybe next time we’ll prance)
Wizard With Ex Issues (Best hat collection)
Hot Elf. (You CAN fix her)
DILF Druid (He’s a tease)
reversebananimals@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Don’t blame me I banged Lae’zel.
Mossheart@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Half elf*
