The prologue was much longer at one point in early access, it was heavily cut down.

Shadowheart sounds cute. Just looking at screenshots before I played, I didn't see the appeal and what all the fuss was about with her.

So far I am not seeing the wow factor.
Meeting Gale, the mo-cap animations are neat.
It is odd how movie like the cutscenes are, but you click a dialogue option and your character doesn't speak them.
I went into the chapel dungeon, and the way the combats play out just feels counterintuitive. It seems to be going for that realistic sim thing, so for the bandits on the top and then for the skeletons below, I tried setting up behind a chokepoint like a door way with my three melees (my fighter main character, La'zel, and Shadowheart) with Gale behind them to cast the thunder magic (which thankfully doesn't hit my guys, the wording made it sound like it would hit "everyone"). But then I am waiting for enemies to come through my chokepoint and get meleed, but instead they instead stop at mid range and throw rocks or grenades in rather than coming in, so now I have to go out the door to melee them. So I should have just rushed them in the first place.
It is odd how spears do not seem to give you more melee range.
It is jarring how there are such movie like cutscenes when talking to characters, but then for combat your camera is looking down at little characters and they hit like weak noodles and the combat feels so flaccid. Even when trying to zoom in as close as possible, it feels bad. They really should have done closeup shots of the action.
The music has been forgettable.

I have just met Astarion, and now he's telling me to kick someone out of the party for him to join. But I only have a pitiful 3 party member slots besides the main character. Why is the party size 4? That is insanely small. Why can't I have 5 or 6 characters? And then none of these characters seem particularly cool or appealing to me. Which BG3 party members are generally regarded as the best story wise? I wonder if I should install that mod that just plays all party member cutscenes regardless of whether or not they are in your party.

It was weird that I had to first start a game and create a character, and then save during the first inengine cutscene and exit the game and then install the mods. It is nice that you can save and load during cutscenes like in an emulator.
- NoAlphabets
- RealmsRestored 80% crowds
- RR DeGirlboss
- Dignify
- Wylls of Baldurs Gate (I picked the black version, making him look like a better more handsome version of the character)
- Really Shadowheart
- Shadowheart Tweaked
- BetterRomance (not sure I want to even engage with this system in this game tbh)
- Narrator Mortanius
- Immersive Loading Screens

depends
if you are attracted to wyll and want to replace him with a woman to degay it i would say it still is gay
if you found a mod and thought the chick is hot and chose to sacrifice the token negro and the mod also adjust voice and dialoque so everything makes it a female character then i would say it is not gay.
still no sorry

It's gay. Even if Wyll is a woman now, you're going to think "this is really Wyll though" while making out. That's gay asf.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ December 21st, 2025, 05:51guys is it gay to change wyll to a white woman and romance her?

I am using Wylls of Toril but chose the black one, since it was close to how the creators intended the character but more handsome.
That's a very bad reason. One that implies there is something inherently thoughtful or significant about his race, rather than it simply being about checking a box on a formal identity politics diversity checklist. I would understand if you had no other choice, but to voluntarily agree to such propaganda in your game is...well, to each his own, I supposeVal the Moofia Boss wrote: ↑ December 22nd, 2025, 05:41it was close to how the creators intended the character but more handsome.
You can knock out characters during combat, FYI. There's a toggle somewhere to deal non-lethal damage, and most of the quests account for this. Probably more than when I played at release.Val the Moofia Boss wrote: ↑ December 22nd, 2025, 05:34It is frustrating that there doesn't seem to be a way to talk to or knock out characters during combat and then talk to them after. Once combat begins, the only way to deal with them is to kill them. This guy entrusted me with his people and I am trying not to get them killed. I wound having to reload and tell them to go away.
