[Baldur's Gate 3] Kiss a bear and grapple with the horrifying slug living in your brain
Posts
Oh hmm, I assumed that it was athletics as that would, well, make sense
Shoving is nice too I guess, although I'm more likely to use an eldritch blast to do it without all the fuss
Too bad I don't have a party full of warlocks, pew pew pew 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻! My one warlock doesn't even have that invocation lol
Also, does each blast repel? So if you hit someone with all three blasts it'd send them flying?
Sadly, it's one repel per person, even if they're targeted by multiple bolts.
There goes my dream of throwing someone 45 feet from across the room 😔
That dream is still alive and well if you just have 4 Warlocks.
Telekinesis!
There was a fight late in the game where an NPC joined my party, they seemed pretty useless but they had the telekinesis spell, so I grabbed an archer and threw them at my paladin's feet, then grabbed a mage and threw them at my paladin's feet, etc. You can use the spell about 10 times for one spell slot, and I can imagine some pretty good uses for it.
so you can take two levels of warlock to get Eldritch Blast, Repelling Blast and Agonizing Blast, and then you can take ten levels of whatever, you'll still get the triple blast

For real though fuck Gary.
Re: Act 3
Maybe she's more threatening in the version of the fight that's an all out war but even then her HP pool is super low so it's basically just deal with her Unstoppable charges and don't get baited into engaging with trash mobs instead of the boss with a big "kill me fast" buff.
continuing re: act 3
lae'zel just going ham
no wonder the cultists just let you walk away!
Also, I'm glad that when I was headed to Iron Throne, I got to say, "Fuck you, Gortash." Did it help the situation any? Not at all, in fact it probably made things worse! Did it feel real good? You bet it did (and I was still almost entirely successful, so hah! Fuck you, Gortash, you piece of shit! I'm coming for you!)
Is there a way to do this? I've tried torching the scroll, nothing happens; I can't cast remove curse on it; I can't pick it up and carry it with me anywhere. Is this just spooky flavor?
Just spooky flavor. Cazardor's whole mansion screams cut content - there's the frankly bizarre way you enter it, an entire non-functional puzzle you can find, the attics which have a couple of lore books and I M P L I C A T I O N S but goes absolutely nowhere, just a whole pile of stuff that clearly got yanked for time.

Hoping this area in particular gets some love if they do a definitive edition. Loves me some spooky mansions, ESPECIALLY spooky mansions with puzzles
Then I remembered how many of those little bastards I kicked into the chasm while fighting the big spider under the blighted town.
Yeah I definitely expected a dungeon when I walked in, I almost didn't continue out of concern that it would be too much
I would 110% prefer they take time to breath and rest and then think about where they expand, tweak, cut or whatever.
Game's absolotuey ripe for it, but act 3 is already A Lot (I've actually seen some strong arguments that the game should have been five acts - Act 1 ending with the grove finale, Act 2 being what's 1.5 now (Creche/Underdark), Act 3 being Shadow-cursed lands, Act 4 being a bit more of a low key, let you fuck around in baldurs gate and burn off some of the tension from act 3 - where a ton of the current Act 3 sidquests should go, basically, and act 5 being the "Shit, the absoloute's here and everything is on fire".).
I actually also do wonder if Act 3wouldnt have benefited from some kind of time gating mechanism - as in have a more clear "Here's all the things you could do, there are X long rests until everything goes to pot, what do you prioritize?". Coulda been good, coulda fallen flat on it's face - Act 3 is as it stands, Very Werid and A Lot.

I'm glad I let Lae'zel go first I guess, but at least now I know I can bench her, with three of her stats lowered. Maybe permanently? How do I fix this? Fuck. Feels like a punishment for something. This is mean, y'all
Probably it's easier for your character to oppose the machine because Lae'zel was raised to believe in the zaith'isk while your character is more likely to go "wait, this thing is literally trying to kill me, this is bullshit", I suppose?
Still, being able to just fuck up your stats is mean as shit, no argument there
Why does this matter?
So I find the Sorcery shop and the wizard who has been asking for the Nightsong, tell him to get bent and head back to camp to tell Dame. She flies off and I follow and we kick his shit around. Brought Wyll along since I figured I could use a counterspell and Gale is currently visiting Orin and the Bhaal gang.
Dame put in some work. soloed half the elementals herself and in a great moment of intellect, the wizard tried shoving her, failed, then ran away. Which gave Dame an opportunity attack and knocked off half his health. Good job guy.

maybe dont need it to flash up in the corner like a disapproval note or have the narrator say 'oh ffs she just lost attribute points' but it shouldn't be hidden on her character sheet
