Huoyan loves Gale too but is terrible at responding to all the very forward comments - she's an easily flustered one she is

also considering how many of the playable races are small-size, i need scenes where the love interests pick them up to hold them at eye height, just one, please. There is so much potential XD

#bg3 #oc: huoyan #bg3 gale #this is a terrible gale ill probs redraw it another time #tbh Gale is probably the only person Huoyan would let pick her up lol #anyone else and she WILL wrestle you about it and you will not win #maybe except karlach or lae zel in the case of them tossing her in battle lotr style #thatd be funny #tbh idek if gale would be strong enough to pick her up in the first place hahah #anyway i have many ideas for dwarf romance doodles so be prepared #nix plays bg3

[azatas]

thinking of having tasi take 2 paladin levels after the temple of bhaal but gameplay wise i feel like it might be a waste 😞

#i know sorcadin is good but only 2 levels of paladin at the very end of the game might be pointless sigh #and i'd probably have to nix the bard level i took after meeting alfira because bard 1 / paladin 2 / sorcerer 9 seems like a mistake #dee plays bg3 #bg3 spoilers #just in case

[hiddenbysuccubi]

I love the hugging DLC. Good update Larian.

#Had to redo the boss fight and I'd already deleted other saves but got it to play on my druid spawn!astarion romance Lynx #regrettably my playthrough with Karlach illithiad-ified #Too bad it won't load on my first character I was curious to see how god Gale worked after Wyll and I went to Avernus #And I nixxed my good Gale romance save but that's okay I will play again lol #Plus I have Ophelia at the start of act 3 to finish #BG3

Finally got to check out Baldur's Gate III after playing a little during early access many, many months ago.

This is my half-orc barbarian, Nix. She just straight up ripped off Shadowheart's pod lid. No messing.

Taken with ReShade and Otis' BG3 camera tools.

Neer - BG3 Character Dev Questions

@cassieuncaged Baldur's Gate 3 Character Development Questions

For Neer (Neer is an OC from the Lore of Iasanera story). Applying the answers to the world of BG3

1: Where in the Faerûn is your Tav from?

He'd be a Reithwin survivor (as the Shaddowlands are simmilar to the Cursed Valley). A former noble and city ranger. He'd be a Selunite (though in the world he's from he's a worshiper of Nix, who's Iasanera's equivalent of Shar, having in count the goddess's behaviours and personalities, Selune is more like Nix than Nix like Shar).

2: What is your character's alignment?

Neutral good. Though he's usually quite lawful, he's not against bending the rules to fit his agenda and his morality.

3: Race and subclass?

Elf, high elf. Fey ancestry.

Druid - Circle of Stars multiclassing with Gloom Stalker.

4: If your Tav was a companion, where would they be found?

Last Light Inn or somewhere in the Shadowlands, scouting the abandoned battlefied on in one of the Reithwin building roofs with a moon lantern trying to map the corruption.

5: Dark Urge or no?

No. Noble background.

6: What companion are you platonically close with?

Gale. They both share a love for knowledge and an ambition for self improvement. They share a lot of knowledge with one another and Neer was actually the first to suggest to Gale that perhaps, he's just an educated sorcerer, the same way Neer is a wealthy druid.

Wyll. They have a simmilar background and origin. They do bond over baldurian history and feats of heroism. They have never met before, the Shadow Curse fell before Wyll and Duke Ravengard's time.

Shadowheart. They share some religious understanding and Neer understands her devotion and her religious crisys. Deep inside, he wonders if she's truly a Sharran. He respects her religion. But before she turns to Selune, he pokes fun at her.

He's indiferent to Lae'Zel. He doesn't get in her way, she doesn't get in his.

He loves drinking and laughing with Karlach and sees her as a friend.

Jaheira is his sister of arms, his mentor and both adores her sense of humor and has a large degree of admiration and respect for her.

But of all, he's more platonically close to Gale and Jaheira.

7: Romantically close with?

Halsin and/or Shadowheart/Astarion.

8: Who are they suspicious of?

Lae'Zel, Astarion, and Minthara. The Emperor.

9: Is your Tav from Baldur's Gate? Why are they travelling there?

No. He had been to Baldur's Gate, before the Shadow curse befell Reithwin. He was a member of a noble house and would often deal in diplomacy and politics, so he was often to Baldur's Gate dealing with a myriad of political businesses. Currently he was heading to Baldur's Gate in hopes of finding a solution for the Shadowcurse plaguing his home. Jaheira had sent him towards the Emerald Grove.

10: Are they proficient in playing any instruments?

Piano and violin, as it is expected for a noble bred elf such as himself.

11: Weapon of choice?

Bow and arrow and Glayve.

12: What is their orientation?

Bissexual.

13: What are their thoughts on killing? Is it a necessary evil or do they enjoy it?

Necessary evil. They don't particularly enjoy killing, but they are an ambush ranger and are not against shooting someone down to achieve his agenda.

14: What hobbies does your Tav have?

Neer is into reading, playing music and gardening. And, though he'd never admit it or be caught doing it, Neer enjoys embroidery.

15: What NPC's do they like? Which one's do they dislike?

He likes Halsin, Zevlor, Duke Ravengard, Kith'rak Voss and Withers. Has a soft spot for Mol, and the tiefling kids. Adores Arabella but is also senses something brewing but has chosen to trust Withers. Enjoys Alfira's company. He also adores dame Aelyn. Has a healthy degree of respect for Nine-Fingers, Raphael and Auntie Ethel. He despises the Emperor, Mizora, Gortash and fuckiiing Oriiin.

16: Do they have a favorite creature in the Faerûn?

Dire Wolves, dragons and tressyn. Adding owlbears to the bunch.

17: Do they enjoy life as an adventurer?

He does now. He'd never consider it when he was a noble man playing the politics game. But now he cannot see himself return to the posh, dull and pompous life of high-elven nobility.

18: What would your Tav be doing if they weren't kidnapped on the Nautiloid?

Probably trying to save Halsin from the Goblin camp anyway, as Jaheira would have pointed him towards the Emerald Grove and the Emerald Grove towards Halsin.

19: How do you think they'll meet they're end?

They had expected to be killed by the Shadow Curse or the abominations that dwell within it.

20: Would they destroy the elder brain or control it?

Destroy.

21: What is your Tav's favorite spell?

Telekinesis. Just yeet a bitch of a roof.

22: What languages is your character fluent in?

Common, elvish, druidic and celestial.

23: What do they do after the absolute crisis?

He returns to Reithwin with Halsin to run the commune.

24: Does your character believe in the afterlife?

Yes. He very much does. This was how the Emperor was so easy to manipulate him with the image of his late wife.

25: What arcana major best represents your Tav?

The Chariot Upright on his qualities, the Emperor Reversed on his flaws.

26: What animal best represents your Tav?

The Wolf - loyalty, strong family ties, good communication, education, understanding, and intelligence.

27: What was their life like before the events of BG3?

Neer, before the Shadow Curse was a noble man of a noble elven house, married and with a child. He was a very wealthy man with a high social standing and some political power in Reithwin. He worshiped Selune, and after the worship of the Moon Maiden was abolished he conformed (but worshipped Selune in secret) to maintain his social status and wealth and comfort of his family. After the Shadow Curse he became a lone-wolf ranger, working with the Harpers to find a solution to the curse. He started learning druidic magic under the guidance of Jaheira and the harpers.

28: Is your character the de facto leader of the party? Or do they consider someone else to be the leader?

He's the de facto leader. Neer was a noble and former politician. If he wasn't born with leadership skills, his parents made sure he learnt and acquired them from an early age. When Jaheira joins the party he suggests she takes the lead but she trusts his judgement. He's killed Ketheric and proved more than his worth.

29: Does your Tav want to utilize the tadpole powers or not?

Absolutely not. And now that he figured out who the Dream Visitor was? Absolutely not.

30: What's your favorite thing about your Tav?

Other than his overall looks? This guy is very confident and secure of himself and walks around with the smuggest of smiles ever. He has a "takes no shit" atitude. So yes, he told Lae'Zel her upside down bat nose was not any better than his dangling piece of flesh. He sometimes comes off as conceited, but he doesn't do it on purpose, just an overall result of his being of noble and wealthy background and having had the privilege to study and invest on his own personal growth.

so i finally started a dark urge ("durge") pt in bg3, despite having some concerns that it was too dark for me (like all the "gamer" website descriptions of it make it sounds so bleak and a little gross) but it's actually really funny. Like yeah, it's still a bit gross but done for comedy and less for fear.

plus your murder butler's fashion is on point

his little dapper hat with the real snake skeleton? his false leather?? metal? nose? that suit?!?

i'm still not sure which direction with the dark urge i want to go with this character, i usually veer towards "good" (ish) characters so maybe i'll just full murder? idk, but the act one stuff is very funny.

Also talking to all your companions about your concerns is hilarious, you're like "i'm having dark dreams about swimming in pools of blood" and they're all like "oh yeah that's normal don't worry about it sweetheart *head pats*" but it def feels like they're all distracted by their own messy bitch problems that they're not really listening lol.

i also don't know how it took me *4* pts in to summon basket (aka shovel/fork) but i love her and would die for this little murder quasit. kinda sad i'm not a spellcaster this pt b/c apparently you can make her permanent/resummonable (per reddit anyway). I'll prob just have her turn invisible at the start of combat and not fight to keep her alive for the whole game if i can.

this pt i'm also playing a gnome rogue b/c i never play gnomes and so i figured why not. she's pretty cute and all the dialogue scenes are silly b/c they're like 2-3 feet shorter than all your companions.

it's not quite the DAI dwarf camera problems (it does adjust) where you were completely mike wazowski'd in most of the cinematics etc, but it's similar for sure (it's worse when it's from behind you, because you're looking up at a character who is much taller so it's usually the top of your head staring at their crotch lol. But when it switches to the taller npcs, they're all look like they're staring at the floor)

anyway this is nix stumbleduck (she/they), deep gnome thief

there is still something about the gnome proportions in this game that bugs me tho (i think their hands and heads seem slightly too big? idk, but it is kinda fun to be tiny and sneaky. plus rogue bonuses are RIDICULOUS, like if you're used to playing druids or bards, and you switch to fighters/rogues who are very good at one thing, it's like oh yeah, being a specialist can also be good. tho i do miss turning into an owlbear- unrelated- do the gnomes shapechange proportionally or is it all the one model? kinda think it'd be funny if you turned into a very small owlbear but just as heavy as a regular sized one, kinda how strength works in the discworld where smaller beings like gnomes and dwarves are very concentrated in strength)

Honestly I’m glad Larian made BG3 instead of bioware cause bioware seem’s to be allergic to allowing you to play as any kind of anthropomorphic animal race while Larian has fucking nailed the lizard race in Divinity and the Dragonborn race in BG3. Like if BG3 was bioware we wouldn’t have had playable Dragonborn

Yes, because being able to play as a lizard person totally makes up for the fact that the player character doesnt have a voice but the fucking narrator does. It totally compensates for the fact that.

Like, I'm sorry, but it's hard for me to get especially invested in character customization when there's no voice bringing them to life. This game spent so fucking long in development. In early access. Designing and redesigning custom characters. Committed so many resources to VA's and motion capture already! Letting you get to choose your genitals, I guess. Gave the fucking narrator a voice. Made dice rolls an actual mechanic in the game like this is ubisoft's monopoly or something. Devoting 100+ gigs of storage to house this behemoth.

And NEVER, in all of that development time did someone think 'Hey, maybe we should nix a feature here and there so that we can afford to hire a few voices for the PC?' Like, really? Is this fucking persona all of a sudden?

Like, the customization options are nice, I'm glad they're here. But when there for the one character who isn't allowed to speak in game, it makes it very hard to care. Yes, CRPG's have been like this for the longest time, but Bioware themselves have shown that times have changed. We can do better now. Especially for a game with as much time and money as BG3 was clearly given.

Sorry, but if I wanted to spend $60 to pal around with a bearded lizard who doesn't talk, I'd go to the pet store.

#vent #this house will not endorse larion studios OVER bioware

[dreadgrace-a]

me staring at the ceiling, knowing Lark's reaction to Mystra's message for Gale is just "and? you were given an order. questioning is inappropriate."

#nixe plays bg3 #ma'am please stop projecting and work on your trauma xoxox #edit: tbh she'll shrug off wyll's pact in a similar way. she likes karlach and isn’t disappointed that she survives but beyond that? / #lark vc: shrug emoji we all have our burdens #ma'am 2.0 you are not good at holding your cover you're acting Weird #she'll play it off as yaknow. being conditioned to following orders but she's a little too much of a stickler about gods and duty. sb / #sb call her on it

[dreadgrace-a]

raphael losing his composure and calling lark "pipsqueak"- akdhdsejeh4h

#nixe plays bg3 #they push each other's buttons at every encounter. love that for them

[dreadgrace-a]

anyway, send lark into the vault and she'll discover a new potential livelihood for when if this whole cult business doesn't work for her anymore-

#nixe plays bg3 #tbd / bhaal bin #she had the time of her life pulling a Heist #edit: actually yeah- #wishlist / tbt

[dreadgrace-a]

I have to toss the idea around more after coffee, but I do think the main difference between lark with a durge pc (default) and tav is that tav has to be pass some sort of check to convince her not to leave the party to claim orin's empty position. that after taking time to get to know her, which is not an easy task. if tav doesn't make the effort, the check is sky-high

#nixe plays bg3 #she is still very much in the grip of cult ideology even apart from it. it takes Work

[dreadgrace-a]

pov the unfairly tall, reticent mercenary stepped in to take a blow meant for you earlier today and then has the gall to take the chore of setting up camp from you

#ma'am. ma'am. traumatized energizer bunny. stop it #nixe plays bg3 #crack | evil traumatized energizer bunny #sorry. it's inane posting hours

Balthazar: I should kill you for snooping through my things

Lark: But you're a coward, and you won't.

Balthazar: ...fine!
