#mom plays bg3

[friendly-traveler]

My mom was visiting me this week and I of course had to show her BG3. She made literally the prettiest character for her guardian

Then before she even went home she literally ordered a gaming computer and headphones to play bg3 LMAO

[mossy-rock-in-a-field]

desperately need everyone to know that my neutral good mother got Astarion to proposition her Tav without even trying (she was actively trying to romance Gale instead) whereas I was practically kicking children in my first playthrough to get Astarion to smooch me and he didn’t give me the time of day

she lords it over me daily

Three Generations of Druids

a bg3 mod that replaces the witty quirky vicious mockery voicelines with your character just calling enemies cunts

[kingbeeleth]

just picked up video games for the first time ever yesterday who is this “Astrology” dude from “Bill Gates 3”?

Do you know this (noncanon) ADHD character?

Evidence below the cut!

Karlach displays distractibility and diminished attention span, squirms and fidgets regularly (having the most exaggerated and fidgety idle animations of all the origin characters, even), is markedly restless and is often "on the go", is talkative, and speaks impulsively, thus displaying symptoms for combined-type ADHD per DSM-5 criteria.

My younger sister is playing the base p5

[anderstrevelyan]

Now I'm thinking about Valas and his mother again and I cannot emphasize enough that this was a first-playthrough accident

Heritage document:

His cleric backstory changed after his first draft playthrough, but the shock remains

My Mother Plays Baldur's Gate: Part 5

Summary: My retired mom is having me play Baldur's Gate 3 on her behalf because she has trouble using controllers/keyboards but still wants to "smooch the wizard boy." She is playing a neutral chaotic good wood elf druid; this is a detailed account of her crimes. Part 1 & 2 Part 3 Part 4

Sorry for the long break! Life got super busy for a second there. We're about 30-40% of the way through Act 3, and we finished up some companion quest lines and started making some plans to kill Gortash and Orin.

Here's what happened during yesterday's game session:

Scratch gave us an iron bowl at camp. My mom assumed this was somehow plot relevant, so she had me carry it around everywhere because "we might need it." I am not allowed to sell the bowl. She is a druid and her carrying capacity is still garbage. I suffer.

She LOVES Gale’s new kiss animations. I  tasked with smooching him before we leave camp every single time. Even if I just stop by to switch out a party member, I still have to kiss him goodbye. (And pet the animals, obviously.)

We accidentally blew up Volo outside the Steel Watch foundry with a poorly-placed Ice Storm that nicked the edge of the explosive barrels. His corpse was charred and unrecognizable, and my mom was distraught. She demanded to know why I blew him up, so I reminded her that casting Ice Storm was HER idea. We saved him the second time.

Cazador accidentally won his fight several times because we kept rolling dogshit initiative and got zapped by status effects before we could move an inch. The first time Astarion got turned to paste in the ritual, my mom nearly leapt out of her seat. (“RELOAD RIGHT NOW, HONEY.”) We killed Cazador on the fifth attempt, the rotten bastard.

My mom was locked in for the Iron Throne mission. The turn limit really freaked her out, and she kept second-guessing my choices every time I made a move because she was so nervous I was wasting time. I had to gently remind her that I’ve done this mission literally dozens of times. (We got everyone out with a whole turn to spare. Pfffft.)

Got the wavemother robe. I put it on Gale because I thought my mom would love it, but she was actually horrified because he “might catch a cold.” She robe is now somewhere in the camp stash next to all the spoons, iron tongs, and rags. It will probably never be found again. 

Saved the Gondians, and Mom now rides the “fuck Wulbren Bongle” hate train. Shout-out to my boy Barcus!

After watching the conclusion of The Pale Elf quest line (Astarion did NOT ascend, thank you), my mom quietly said, “I hope that actor knows how perfect he is as Astarion. What a wonderful man.” I had the pleasure of informing her that Neil Newbon won Best Performance at the Game Awards for his role. Congrats Neil Newbon, my mom is super proud of you!

Hoping to get together with my mom again soon and make some more progress through Act III. She told me to thank you for all your kind words of support!

My mom has decided on her hotness ranking of the dudes:

Tied for first: Gale and Wyll

Followed by Astarion

Then Halsin

Bonus: She thinks Gortash is ugly.

[antiqua-lugar]

does anyone else have this thing where everytime they have to pause and check they wrote "uldred" instead of "wyll's dad". my mind just going like wyll is my friend irl so he might be archduke ravengard to the world but to me he only exists as wyll's dad. going up to him in camp like "good morning mr ravengard, can wyll come play with the dragon today"
