I was steel, and you were silver.

[royaltrios]

honest to god im probably never playing an original character in bg3 ever again. i get way more out of playing the origin characters and trying my best to roleplay them and letting that lead the story... its like fanfiction to me lol

[dankovskaya]

It keeps giving me the option to lie to each companion about not killing Alfira and I've been ignoring it for so long because she would not deny that she did that 💀 but also I'm concerned it's like. Blocking other durge related conversations or something bc I still refuse to talk about it 😭 Lmfao

[plinkpimimi]

definitely posted something to this effect before but i just instinctively pulled a face irl at someone's modded astarion

[benevadeca]

Hello bg3 community. Re that mirror conversation I am ruining his life 👍

[yharnamesque]

Things I've learnt from my umbillionth forced restart of BG3 (thank you hotfixes very cool):

Aradin can successfully be the one to punch out Zevlor instead

Astarion is in fact capable of threatening us with a knife upon first meeting WITHOUT needing to do his gay little drag to the ground

[basketobread]

this is similar to my first ever lunara comic except now it's lae'zel because i always laugh at how quick she is to just be like "i want to TASTE you. i WANT you." and lunara just gets jumpscared by random things the girls say to her and just stares at them with her big eyeballs LMAO (tho i REALLY wish camp poly was allowed... LUNARA WANTS HER POLYCULE WITH THE GIRLS!!!)

[himbopunk]

my first playthru i got jumpscared by her romance option. also me and lae'zel both realized nowhere was gay at the same moment

Many thanks to my friend @captainsigge for finding the celebration phrase in tir'su which Lae'zel teaches Wyll the gang.

I had fun writing this one even though it took me a month. And there is a little surprise by the end which I enjoyed writing very much!

[blackjackkent]

OK, for realsies this time (maybe?), a few more explorational highlights from the grove area, and then we're off in the direction of the goblin camp, because Rakha craves goblin blood and answers and it seems the most likely place to get both. (After not being able to hurt Mizora, Sceleritas, OR Raphael, she's feeling very pent up and not in the fun way.)

Rescued Mirkon from the harpies on the beach! We didn't do this with Hector last time. In this case, I suspect it was definitely Wyll who originally encouraged Rakha to go down and see if the kid was okay. ("Your favorite drownings all take place in shallow water," the Narrator helpfully informs us. "Just a slice of the ankle tendons...") She also got completely hypnotized by the harpies as well, because it occurred to me that (to her recollection) she has never heard music of any kind before, let alone music that beautiful - and not only that, but it quieted the Urge. Lae'zel (I assume) snaps her out of it. And once Rakha figures out what's going on and that something else was taking control of the inside of her head, she got MAD. This fight didn't go particularly well for anyone except Lae'zel, who rocked an absolutely brutal crit on one of the harpies, but Rakha got to expend some frustration on all of them with some applications of Burning Hands, which made her feel overall a little calmer. We got a Folk Hero inspiration for Wyll for helping the kid out. Gale was also pleased, although I think Rakha cares about that somewhat less.

Hit level 3! Rakha now has more spell slots and can (with sorcery points) cast an action spell as a bonus action. More fire!

Chatted with Volo. Rakha, after her recent interactions with Sceleritas and Raphael, absolutely got jumpscared by him greeting her as "my good friend!" until she realizes Volo is just Like That. She's also utterly baffled when he asks her for information on the goblin battle and then deliberately writes down falsehoods instead. ("A mythweaver," Lae'zel says disdainfully. "This man has no respect for truth.") He does confirm what she's picked up about the presence of the Absolute cult, though - and indicates that the goblins are also part of it, although it's hard to tell whether she should believe him.

Stopped down to see Mol since Mirkon said we should. It was not a particularly exciting conversation, but contact has been made which will be relevant later. Rakha definitely looks at the kids differently than she does the adults in the area, mostly because of Wyll's influence and his story of how he became the Blade of Frontiers.

Checked in with the two tiefling guards in the back corner room, one of whom is threatening to shoot a caged goblin prisoner in revenge for her dead brother. Unsurprisingly, Rakha did nothing to stop this. ("Your mind wanders," points out the Narrator, in the soft, cold drawl she uses for the Dark Urge's specific thoughts. "If the crossbow bolt shot through her mouth, would she taste the metal before she died?") Stand back and admire the guard's overflowing hate. She waits and watches while the guard's crossbow bolt slams directly between the prisoner's eyes. Interestingly - Wyll approved of her choice.

Interacting with the squirrel above the main grove was uh. Sure something.

Narrator: This squirrel might be the single most adorable creature you can recall in all your stunted memory! It would be ever so twee if it were climbing a tree.

And then Rakha got this weird grin on her face and hauled off with a kick; there was an explosion of blood and the squirrel's dead body landed in the upper branches of the tree nearby.

"Terrific," says Lae'zel (presumably while Gale and Wyll look on in complete horror). "If I'm ever harangued by a rodent, I know who to call for."

Narrator: You stare at the body before you. You have no idea what just happened.

Rakha feels the beast in her head settle, its recent frustration soothed by this spilling of an innocent creature's blood. She remembers the deep, crunching impact of her boot and a deep shiver rolls through her whole body.

"My body moved without my command," she mutters hoarsely. "I couldn't control it."

The others don't respond. What is there to say?

Narrator: The swirling bile cauldron of your brain is cooking up a poison stew - served and seasoned by that venomous butler.

Got jumpscared by the Lae'zel sex scene. Girl it's barely been a week why are you so horny

[51ft]

my friend has a tactic to always kill the cambions on the nautiloid that involves swapping shadowheart and lae'zel's armour that i find super amusing (imagine how this conversation must have gone lol) but also made me realize just how many layers shady usually wears after seeing her in lae'zel's fit (like. she has knees?? wtf)

HAHAHAHA man im not gonna lie the first time i saw the gith armor on a non-gith i got jumpscared by how much skin there actually was bc..i guess... my brain glazed over the green...

(WHY DOES THE TACTIC INVOLVE SWAPPING THEIR ARMOR???????)

[the-eldritch-it-gay]

I worry I'm tempting tumblr to flag me again, but I don't think there's anything here that's explicit. I couldn't post the screenshots without the camera mod because I needed to be able to angle the camera to avoid titties being center screen.

Anyways Shadowheart is a fun romance so far, though I really need to install a mod or something she's so white it was almost a jumpscare.

Majexatli has now slept with: Astarion, Lae'zel, Karlach, and Shadowheart during this playthrough. Next up is Halsin and Wyll.

[myersesque]

playing bg3 a lot lately!!! some highlights (act 1 spoilers):

wyll is lying unconscious on the floor. shadowheart runs over to help him up, slips in the grease, and lies on the ground in defeat. the camera immediately cuts away. i lose my shit laughing

astarion then proceeds to slip in that grease puddle THREE TIMES on his way out of the room

"watch this - astarion NEVER fails at lockpicking." (he proceeds to fail at lockpicking twice consecutively)

gale disengaging from an enemy so he won't immediately get squished like a bug. the enemy ignoring every other member of the party to charge at him full force and oneshot him into death

astarion being the only party member not to fail every fucking nature check and therefore ending up sounding like the world's snarkiest tour guide

ethel teleporting mayrina directly into my cloud of daggers at the end of the fight, not even bothering to move herself out of the cloud, so both of them died simultaneously and i had to reload

gale being restrained, put under a silence spell, and set on fire, making him essentially fucking useless and also killing him faster than anybody could get him unstuck because he is squishy and flammable

the entire party slipping on grease and falling down the stairs in PERFECT UNISON

me, my bf (in our co-op save), and karlach, accidentally triggering the ragzlin fight... then we realise astarion isn't anywhere on the initiative menu, nor is he in the room. i switch control to him real quick to discover he's having his own separate boss fight against priestess gut and like twenty goblins, the poor sod

my bf getting arrested for theft within maybe 20 seconds of entering emerald grove, whilst i was still stuck in dialogue and could do nothing to stop him. he then forgot to re-equip his gear after getting it from the prison chest, despite me reminding him a bajillion times, which led to some INTERESTING combat encounters

"well, astarion is doing okay!" an enemy runs up and throws astarion off a balcony, knocking off half his health. "...ok well he WAS-"

getting jumpscared by gale's laugh, courtesy of a timmask

accidentally destroying a bridge mid-fight! it did absolutely nothing to any of the enemies but it took out lae'zel AND shadowheart in one fell swoop

getting confused by the blessing effects looking simular to the blue circles used to show allies, and therefore letting astarion fire bolt shadowheart to death before realising, in a moment of quiet horror, what i had just done

wyll killing half the goblins by shoving them off balconies instead of actually fighting them lmaoooo

"wait, where the fuck are karlach and astarion?" (the answer is always "they forgot to jump ten minutes ago and i only just noticed, so they're in a cave halfway across the map")
