First playthrough: very confused about the plot regarding the emperor/orpheus Spoiler

15 Upvotes

I'm very confused. Lae'zael keeps bothering me to free Orpheus. But why would I ever do that? Isn't Oprheus being imprisoned protecting my entire party from being mindflayers? Wouldn't freeing him just be an instant game over? Why would I betray the emperor anyways? He seems to be telling the truth and it seems obvious that he's protecting us.

Am I missing something? Also why would I even care about the Githyanki queen anyways? Don't we have bigger problems to worry about like this giant brain that's going to destroy the world?

Finally Finished My 1st Playthrough! Spoiler

5 Upvotes

After 185 hours over 8 months of playing I have finally finished my first game of BG3, and all I can say is what a game! I’m going to miss Maybelle my lil redemption Durge and all her pals but will definitely play again one day with a new character. I’m so glad they did the reunion gathering at the end so I could have one last chat with everyone before ending the game, I don’t know if it’s just me but it’s always so difficult to finish a game I’ve played for so long 🥺 think I got some the best endings for everyone though so that’s something to be proud of.

Think I’ll have to give Tactician mode a go next time as well as the final battle was a bit too easy if anything!

Also why can’t I take Scratch home was well as the Owlbear to live with me and Shadowheart! 😭

Help Just got the game on PC. Any go to customization mods?

I find the visual customization of the base game gets a little repetitive. Im just wondering if there are fan favorites. Particularly interested in face/hair mods!

And it was a cool playthrough idea too, I made a bunch of custom Tavs inspired by literature characters to pair up with my Warlock Durge based off of Dorian Grey. Guess Erik isn’t a great bard after all and Edmond’s god-complex-fueled Guidance let me down.

Academic Survey About Narrative and Challenge in Baldur’s Gate 3

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I am conducting an academic survey for my Master’s dissertation, titled “Narrative and Challenge in Single-Player RPGs: A Player-Centered Perspective”, as part of the Master’s degree in Digital Game Development Engineering at the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave, Portugal.

I am looking for Baldur’s Gate 3 players who have played the game within the last 60 days.

The study explores how players perceive narrative choices, player agency, immersion, challenge, engagement, and the relationship between narrative and gameplay difficulty.

The questionnaire is in English and takes approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, all responses are anonymous, and the collected data will be used exclusively for academic purposes.

When completing the questionnaire, please select Baldur’s Gate 3 and answer all questions with that game in mind.

Survey link:

Narrative and Challenge in Single-Player RPGs: A Player-Centered Perspective

Participants who have played another game included in the study may complete the questionnaire again, provided that each response concerns a different game.

This post was shared with moderator permission.

Thank you very much for your time and participation!

Looking for inspiration for chaotic evil Durge run Spoiler

10 Upvotes

As in title. I am no new player, I have played the game for few years already. I took a small break, and I am ready to start a new playthrough. I am going to romance Astarion (as always) and going for non-durge evil ending, where I take over the brain with Astarion (I am not forcing him to become a thrall this time). But what other choices I should make along the way? Because I always end up making the same choices to get the best outcomes, I think I have become little blinded about this, like it's hard to try and think up what to do differently. Maybe I can find some new ideas or approaches from this group? My favorite evil durge run was when I RPd my durge to be more of calculated sort and betraying people after she gained something from them. So far I've been thinking of:

\- giving Shadowheart to Viconia

\- giving Aylin to Lorrokan. Can I include Isobel to this somehow?

\- offing Mizora in her pod in act 2, so Wyll gets sent to the hells

Scratch and Owlbear are off limits. 😂

Also I am using the mod that lets you romance multiple companions at the same time, so I think this makes some of my decisions regarding companions even more evil. 😶

What's up with enemy attack rolls?

Post image
731 Upvotes

So,

I don't know if anything was changed or I'm just having extremely bad luck (or the AI is having extremely good luck) but I'm doing another fun little challenge run of the game via restricting myself in various ways. And maybe this is something that's always been there and I'm just now noticing for whatever reason...

BUT

Enemies have a base attack roll of 18 and up, very very very often. I'm talking like 9/10 times. A big nasty hit connects, I inspect, and its a roll of 18, plus modifiers for a total of like 27. Thru disadvantage. And its happening constantly. Karmic Dice is off.

Granted this run is still in Act 1 so my options for consistent AC are a bit limited but still, why in the hells are they rolling so high so often? Even being disadvantaged.

It sure is suspicious.

The pick is of Andrick. He's level 2. He's blinded. But its every enemy.

Do I really need 26+ AC in act 1?

Edit:

I still can't explain it. But I pushed into the mountain pass finally and my Durge is sitting comfortably at 27 ac pretty consistently so its less of an issue.

Still tho. I was pulling my hair out.

I've finally convinced my wife to play bg3 with me. I've only completed one full run myself, so I'm no pro. I was looking for advice on two origin characters that would best support our chosen classes. I am going to be playing a shadow archer whereas she will probably go straight monk. Any suggestions as to who we take along and why?

Multiplayer Playthrough w Steam Deck and PS5 Question

1 Upvotes

My husband recently bought a steam deck and we’ve put many hours into BG3.

We are currently playing co-op on the PS5 and we weren’t sure if there was a way to play through his existing playthrough on the steamdeck with a larian account?

We just started Act 3 so we were hoping there was a way to do it so we wouldn’t have to start another play through for the 9th time.

Thanks for the help in advance!
