    'Thanks, same for you'

    (Spoilered for suggestive screenshot, but nothing blatant)

    Also, as a female half Orc, I found out I get to be the 'top', taking Astarion's position in the cutscene.

    I'm content to miss stuff the first time cos I already know I'm playing this multiple times. I already know I've missed a bunch of stuff but I'm cool with it.
    That's why I booted Astarion from my party after I failed every check and he killed me. It just flowed from what happened that my ranger would boot him, so I did. I'll check him out on a different character. No regrets.

    On, like, my third playthrough I'll go meta and try to max content.

    For now I'm just playing my ranger, making decisions from his point of view, and seeing where that takes me. Minimal meta stuff, other than build theory crafting. But I don't look up items, just how the classes themselves work.

    I would like cosmetic slots plzkthx. The camp clothes is a good start, but I want slots for my hat and gloves and stuff too, and for each slot to be toggleable.

    Hopefully the game also keeps handing you bags of flour and ten-foot poles.

    as we all know, bags of flour would be game-breakingly OP

    Okay - what's up with all these alchemy pouches and supply bags in my inventory? Can I condense or get rid of these?

    i think you keep one and most ingredients get shunted into it

    the other ones you can toss (just maybe empty them out), or you can try to self-organize your inventory into them

    the amount of items in your inventory gets wild pretty quickly, particularly if you're swapping characters who are holding things into and out of camp

    honestly party/inventory management is the most annoying part of this game and I desperately wish it could be overhauled

    for now I just installed a mod that allows me to have 9000x more carrying capacity, and then putting all of my items on my main character

    then I just search for whatever item I might need using the inventory filters and hope for the best

    If I had one thing to request the devs change in the game, it would be camp supplies not just automatically going to the camp box. There is zero reason to carry any on your person, at all. Zip zilch nada.

    And remove the warning that you don't have enough camp supplies if they are in the camp chest and not on you!

    There was one camp in a cave where I couldnt find the box. Where is it. It was like a temple thing.

    Act 3:
    Finished disabling the foundry, and holy fuck I wasn't sure I was going to survive that final fight. Almost no spell slots for my druid, fighter had no superiority dice, paladin had no spell slots for smites, and the warlock/rogue had no spells either. Low on health, low on potions, but we somehow made it work and beat down all the watchers and the titan. Now I'm debating on if I should go ahead and murder Gortash and then go find Florrick/Ansur, or do Florrick/Ansur first. Finishing off Orin will be last

    Fine, there is one reason to carry any camp supplies on you person.

    There's also a bunch of items that rely on drunkenness to work, you need camp supplies of a sort on you for those

    And at least one quest related camp supplies item.

    Plus just from a general game point of view, picking stuff up and it "vanishing" feels weird.

    Right so I'm fighting Gortash,
    I've misty stepped Gale and my rogue archer into position, charged him with Karlach while Shadowheart hangs out ready with the heals and debuffs

    And halfway through the first round one of the wall mounted grenade launchers drops a gift at Karlach's feet while she's engaged with one of those gold faced fucks

    Gortash managed to botch his initiative roll so he goes last, and this brilliant tactician 5D chess master decides the most effective move he could play is to run over into kissing range with his incredibly angry, Mad Max supercharged devil ex-girlfriend and then toss a grenade at her.

    Yeah. Run and then toss.

    He literally drops a grenade at his own feet, which sets off the grenade that's already there, vaporizes his best lieutenant and knocks him down to three hit points, flat on his ass on the floor at Karlach's feet, who, because she's so angry and also resistant to fire, is still very much alive and fighting fit thank you very much

    She does the John Travolta looking around while shrugging gif before swinging with advantage to overkill him by 40 or so damage.

    The fucking pathetic incel weakness of his death made her "Is this it?" speech much much more appropriate.

    Anyway, off to kill god, now!

    Hey is acrobatics used for anything in this game? I don't feel like I've ever had it show up.

    I believe it is the DC used for getting up after being knocked prone. If you succeed, you don't lose an action? I think?

  • StraightziStraightzi Here we may reign secure, and in my choice, To reign is worth ambition though in HellRegistered User regular
    Well I can't recall ever losing an action from being knocked prone so I suppose that does check out

  • MadicanMadican No face Registered User regular
    Might also help stay upright on ice, i haven't found any to check

  • DarmakDarmak RAGE vympyvvhyc vyctyvyRegistered User regular
    When you mouse over acrobatics it says it helps keep you from getting shoved. Athletics does as well, I believe. I dunno if they combine or if the game uses whichever is higher

    JtgVX0H.png
  • StraightziStraightzi Here we may reign secure, and in my choice, To reign is worth ambition though in HellRegistered User regular
    That one would surprise me more, as I've overall felt that my Tav and Astarion have been very shoveable, despite both being acrobatics proficient. Hard to say though, as it's largely obscured. Even if those are all true, it feels weird that it's never like, actively used or foregrounded, I feel like every other skill gets its moment in the sun.

    Acrobatics really should have played a part in jump distance, instead of it just being strength.

    It does help avoid going prone, whether from shoves, surfaces or suicidal plunges.

    But us dextrous folks should be able to jump around all crazy too. Not just the fighter wearing 200 lbs of metal.

    The insane jumping abilities that athletics grants you feels like enough to me

  • A Dabble Of TheloniusA Dabble Of Thelonius It has been a doozy of a dayRegistered User regular
    Well that's the thing, if you're a dex rogue or monk, your athletics is shitty. So my monk is making these tiny little hops while the paladin is basically flying.

    I personally think they should have been evened out a bit.

    that's just your strength stat though, you can boost athletics but it won't increase your jump distance
