Early on in the game I learned to save often (especially if I think I am right before a big fight).

This evening I had a problem starting the fight in the Shadowfell. I started from a saved point (after getting my arse handed to me) and found a way to skip an island and then I saved. Well, it seems if you skip an island to get down to the bottom area, the game won't load the next set of characters nor load the cinematic. I had to go back to an earlier save in order to do the island-hopping correctly.

I'm at 113 hours and 17/53 achievements (Steam) and ready to start the third chapter. These stories and the cinematics they use to tell them keep impressing me.


Yeah, I quick save often (and it's saved me many times) and I make hard saves right before major fights/events if I see them coming.

I went back to my save right before the fight and it worked the second time through, so no big deal.

Barrelmancer build.

It's a Larian games thing from the Divinity series, and hilarious as hell.

That was fricking hilarious!

I had never thought of trying to pick up someone and use them as a weapon to beat someone else with. :lol:

I'm so excited for this to hit PS5. It has been a long month waiting.

Just got through the whole intro thing to Act 3. WOW! I may have to make a different choice when I do another play-through just to see how different things play out.

I'm drawing close to the end of the game, and I'm already thinking about my next playthrough.

I think I might go Monk. I have so much unused monk gear that I'd love to try out.

I'm just now starting to get in to Act 3. My next playthrough will definitely be The Dark Urge. Leaning towards sorcerer since I'm currently playing a paladin.

Definitely going to bang Minthara.

She gives you a freebie after you betray the druids and then you can romance whoever you want after. She's a way better lover than laezel ill give her that. Would be my fav if not for that cringe voice.

Maybe I'm getting older but I think they may have spent just a little too much time on putting sex in the game.

La'zel during sexytime scene: "Taste me."

Its just motivating me to go back and romance jaheira, aerie and the drow chick in BG2. I think you also get to sex up mintharas great grandma back 123 years ago when bg2 takes place.

I’m having a blast so far. One of the most immersive games I can remember playing. And for a modern game, that’s impressive. Too much crap produced today.

I finished my first play through yesterday. What an amazing game! Easily one of the best, if not the best, game I've played in years.

That being said, Act 3 needs a good bit of polish and the ending(s) need some work. I know there's a bunch of cut content for the endings, so hopefully that all gets added back in at least in the definitive edition. If there's one studio I trust to hammer out the issues and deliver a full experience the quality of Acts 1 and 2, it's Larian.

Now it's time to plan my dark urge playthrough.

Man I had this same thought. I have 5 playthroughs going (2 solos, 2 duos and a trio), none of which are very far except one of my solos that is in act 3, but none of them have a monk cause I heard they were kinda weak. But man I've found a ton of dope-seeming monk gear

Monks in the table top are considered weak, but Larian did some homebrew on them and I believe they may actually be a bit OP in BG3. I'll find out soon I guess.
