There's a major quest in act 3 that is heavily railroaded
Gortash & the iron throne. There's no way to prevent him from knowing you're going there and blowing it up.

So strange, not a single quest in the rest of the game was like this. I feel like they might have rushed it and it will end up getting expanded.
You can side with him. With detect thoughts the game will assure you he is not lying about his offer to form an alliance. Never even bothered going to the factory.

Not only that. Essentially all shove actions are OP, including Thunder Arrows.

"The Bard also, if you see how much effort went into the Bard," said Vincke. "I never would play a Bard in my life, I wouldn't even be close to touching it." He then goes on to tell the story of how the Bard class was dropped from Divinity: Original Sin 2 in favor of the Polymorph class because it's what fans wanted, but also because he thought that "nobody likes playing a Bard".

Probably no choice, just the context of the quest and the designers wanting people to feel surrounded instead of triumphant during the conversation.

Maybe in his ****** games. The Everquest bard is probably my favorite class of all time.

What annoys me the most in this game is that they were quite a few people that at the very least care, but it's overall a roller coaster between nice concept and unfathomable embarrassment.

Not shocking the game runs like complete *** once you get to the city proper. The fact the content is probably the driest there doesn't help when it's a chore to get around as well and you just wanna get through it.

This nutty broad has a weird obsession with calling strategy games RPGs for some reason.

The cat form is actually useful, btw. It can crawl into small areas and can stealth well. It can be used to e.g., crawl through a pipe, stealth past some enemies, then unlock a door for the rest of your team.

That's the point the video makes after showing the player screwing around doing funny stuff. It's actually very useful.
I've played games with shapeshifting where you're a dog or something and the guards turn hostile like you were normally there.

Holy **** this game is trash and you people have terrible taste. I just learned killing the *** mage results in game over. There's no ******* way I'm replaying this chore. Whoever decided EVERYTHING should be slow and full of faggy animations deserves to be raped and tortured. Inventory management is as bad as D:OS 2, with shitloads of crap and icons sized for ants. Well, at least I saw it for myself, the game is just as dog **** as I imagined.

This solved all my issues with BG3. Now I'm back to playing games that are actually good and non-pozzed. Carry on with your shitslurping itt.

I thought the cuckoldry **** was a meme, but turns the game quite literally try to make shadowheart **** you during a 4some with a bear.

My diagnostic for the mental illness of the "writer" behind that is repeated beating and total removal from internet access for at least five years.

To be fair shart **** get what they ******* deserve. Her double digit body count is already well known it's the player's fault for pursuing her at that point.
