Damn Raphael you jumpscared me 💀 alright, spill the tea!

I said this already, I was going to ascend him in this run but...jfc I don't know now

It would make sense to me in this run but I'm too soft of a player to allow that I think. Welp. When it comes to it, I'll decide myself, but what do you think?

tumblr folks I'd make a poll for you too but when you're seeing this, it's very likely I have already made the choice, I'm probably past this point in the game 😅

Aww Scratch gave us an animal speaking potion, he wants to chat 🥹🥹

guys why do you look like you judge her so much, be nice 😭

Anyway, there's no turning back now.

Let's go get the Nightsong!

Shart: *having a whole big religious moment* Ross: wait a sec I need to loot

off to a great start today!

Astarion is on fire today! (not literally though, luckily) He had like 4 of these in the last 10 minutes

He's gonna die isn't he

In the fire again

NOT DEAD

BUT VERY MUCH ON FIRE

Idiot ran into lava even though I told him not to

This ghosty guy would like Me! by Taylor Swift

btw he looks so much like ts3 ghosts

Don't ask me how I got an adamantine shield without having to fight this fella, my brain hurts from coming up with that strategy...but it worked (let's be real Ross's ass would not survive this fight lmao, but I might come back when I have more time)

(I'm going out for dinner w fam so I wanted to try if there's a quicker way about this…turns out there is, kinda. It includes misty step, dimension door and similar, shooting from distance and fleeing combat 😅)

Alright alright, I reloaded and did it the right way…no one even died this time (but we need to keep Astarion away from lava bc man why do you like bathing in it so much 🤨)

boy you did nothing you just let the lava in...he's that kid that does nothing in a school project and then takes all credit for it

this armor thoooooo (he doesn't deserve it but he'll wear it. because it's ross. simple as that)

the shroomy guy really likes big titles huh

Mind blown time!

Well would you look at that. He brought out Fakeleb once more, how lovely!

welp that happened

(note: there's one more picture that is very much not tumblr friendly even though you can't see much but you can see more than tumblr would probably like, in fact I feel like I'm already testing it with these 😂)

WELP THAT HAPPENED

Call me a freak for reloading but I figured he wouldn't say no to some experimenting 🫣

Loved catching up with Karlach's friend 🥹🥹

He said he couldn't help so we pickpocketed some very nice armour from him 😊 sorry not sorry friend

I should talk to the citizens more, this guy just got dumped 💀

oh boy

w h a t 💀😭😭

EXCUSE YOU CHILD

GAY GAY GAY LESBIAN HOMOSEXUAL GAYYYYYYYYYY

We rented a room here, nice! I didn't know you could do that.

There's so much to do in act 3 but I feel like doing exactly zero things that require any effort today.....

Oh hey it's the thing that annoyed me probably the most about act 3 :D I looked up who can get taken, and well, I didn't want to lose Gale or Halsin, Lae'zel was abducted in my first run…it had to be Minthara. I'm sorry girl, I'm so sorry 😭

Btw in my very very very first time in act 3 (before I reloaded like 40 hrs back :D), Gale was taken and I may have actually cried because I didn't know what to do. You leave my rizzard alone 😡

It feels so wrong not having Astarion in the party 😭 I miss my silly vampire I might have to go pick him up again

This guy looks like Lord Farquaad or whatever you spell his name long lost brother

Original thread.

[nikatyler]

✨ Ross Goes to Baldur's Gate ✨

yes I reloaded just for this

I believe he passed the perception check the first time and that's why Astarion didn't pin him down. He failed now and I like that a lot more, it makes sense. The boy has a thing for vampires in any universe, he probably clocked him and was more focused on how tf is it possible that he's walking in the sun and then boom! A knife!

(Also, I know Ross well enough after all this time. He's a dummy who doesn't think with his head. He sees a pretty man and his last braincell goes poof. And you know what, fair enough.)

Wait, let me reword that. He passed a perception check. Just not the right one 😂

Back home so I can continue posting (and playing). Before this, I actually went to pick up Gale. We high-fived him first, of course 😌

He looks so tiny, I can't 😭

there he issss

Alright, I'll stop whining and do it. No turning back now. Also, I wonder how swimming in that armour works. Isn't it heavy? 🤨

"my love" 🥹

big brain time

wooo

not wooo

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU I DID NOT SAVE SCUM THIS HOLY SHIT

(I...may have save scummed the previous checks...a bit. But this difficult one? Nope.)

so that did nothing but at least we looked cool doing it

saved by the secret tentacled manipulator boyfriend yay :D

astral plane kisses ✨ (minthy in the background is jealous, sleep with one eye open)

So…about that…I freed Orpheus in my first playthrough so now I wanna go another way…sorry girl 😭

I have regrets. Empy you're going with us because it's only my second playthrough so I'm trying to see different things but you're on very thin ice

Yeah I feel really bad about this D:

YOOOOO

This took forever because we have so many allies 😂

Alright, that's it for today. Did that huge battle in the courtyard, I really loved that one. Also, it's very different doing this with the no party limit mod - not to make things easier for me, but simply because I think everyone should be in the final battle 🤷‍♀️😂

✨ Ross Goes to Baldur's Gate ✨

We made it! Everybody lives! Well…everybody except that one stupid random Gondian who actually stupidly ran into grave danger but that's not on me and I'm not reloading for him 💀

Sorry to that guy but we kinda need that pretty robe

Runnnn

He couldn't fix him :( It's ok Barcus sweetheart you deserve much better

Really wish this robe had better stats but he slays so it's worth it 😌

the kisses and hugs mods singlehandedly cured my depression

Slay intensifies I fear

Anyway, we're conducting very important business here today.

He looks so excited 🤭

Of course you can join but I lost it at the way he was like heyyy I'm here too you know?

Pls I'm giggling like a 13 year old already they look so silly

I --

psst there's more again I don't wanna anger the tumblr gods

Girlie didn't get the memo that she's dead

✨ Ross Goes to Baldur's Gate ✨

I'm invested in whatever the hells these guys have going on

Oh Minthy how I get you 💀 a much milder flavour of the shadow curse would be nice sometimes

Anyway I left to watch a stream so that would probably be all for today! Look at me go, I can do things other than playing this game…I can just watch this game too 😂😂

for a moment there I was worried I chose wrong, but I knew I could trust her to do the right thing 😌

as a child magical girl enjoyer I really really love this scene

okay, time for another battle that really gave me troubles the first run

.

We live!

I'm getting through this run way too fast and way too easily, and everything is going according to plan? Huh

big tentacle time :D

plsss I clicked on him accidentally and the tone really scared me 💀💀 don't yell i'm sensitive

Okay, it's been yet another full day of playing this game, maybe I should end here. I'm really getting through this run concerningly fast 😅

yearning and lust, he just like me fr

Why does everyone want my boyfriend smh. I mean I know he's a snack but come on

.

"hardly a challenge" *rolls 1* I'm sorry, were you saying something? 😒

Me the entire time Gale was yapping: oh god forget about your toxic goddess ex-gf Shart: get a new toxic goddess! 🥰

her voice does something to me

Yes I could give her back her armour but…no ♥ it's my boyfriend's now

I love her already

Well one of us will have to change

Pookie she basically called you useless five minutes ago, idk if I should tell you that

Say goodbye to sun, let's hit act 2!

Oh hey, a special message for Gale! Your ex-gf wants you to kys, byeeee 🥰

bard era

my arachnophobia doesn't allow me to be into this guy so i'll just sit here and try not to judge 💀

the spider guy is no more 🤭

🥹🥹

iykyk 😭😭

Grandma! 😍

Anyway, that's all for tonight. Tomorrow, we'll talk to Dammon and try to not screw the inn over like the last time 🫢

✨ Ross Goes to Baldur's Gate ✨

why am i being mean to kids, what possessed me (ok it was the knowledge that if i'm nice astarion will disapprove. i'll admit it ok)

Ross is such a dummy. How do you fail so many checks, this shouldn't be happening 😂

Oh my god all of them are gonna get killed by the harpies 💀💀💀

They ended up downing Ross and Gale. Not surprised 💀 But we made it!

I didn't do this fight in the first run btw. I saw it in a video and was like "haha nope that's too difficult, I'll pass when I'm there". I'm more confident this time and I think I'm gonna pick up more fights in this playthrough 😎

I'LL KEEP YOU ALIVE IN THIS RUN I PROMISE CUTIE I PROMISE

"I've grown to trust you…can I munch on your shoes now? 😋"

I...killed Nettie

I wanted to just knock her out I swear 💀

I ended up reloading 😅

the very first night 😌

his smile aaa

I was excited to be a little mean asshole in this playthrough but I didn't take into consideration...that making evil choices could make me sad

Anyway I'm waiting for dinner and after that I'm hopping back in the game. I think I'm gonna meet…someone 🥰

Ross on fire I repeat Ross on fire 🤭

best boi

wife wife wife wife wife

Sparks Fly (Astarion's Version)

oop someone looks like he got beaten up bad 🫢 (for real though, this fight was shorter than I remember it but quite brutal, almost had a party kill)

Dammon I promise you too will survive this run

everybody stay calm

I did not expect I'd find so many places I hadn't explored in my first run... either I have a really bad memory or I didn't do a good job exploring the first time

Anyway, time for me to go sleep, we'll continue tomorrow! I'm so tired.

Welcome, Ross enthusiasts! I'm currently on my second bg3 run and I'm sort of livetweeting it. But, since I like to look back at what I play, I decided I'd archive those threads here. Yeah, I could make a thread on twitter, but honestly, reading it here is more comfy.

So yeah, enjoy, and warning, these are going to be long! ✨ Also, this goes without saying but obviously there will be spoilers, so proceed at your own risk if you haven't played yet and would like to in the future. (Please play in the future. And say it was my influence. Pretty please.)

Trying balanced difficulty this time... we shall see if I was too confident

Okay I'm already too damn indecisive about what he should look like, this is harder than I thought 🙈 I'm spoiled from the sims. With Zeph it was easy because they were a completely new character

I don't like any of the faces for him help 💀

Folks I don't knowwww, what do we think

It's probably the jump from his usual sims maxis-matchiness to this artstyle that makes me feel a bit 🥴

Also, I couldn't decide what body type to go for…one is too slim for him imo, other too buff…I'm overthinking this I know I know…maybe I'll eventually take a look at some mods for him. Not tonight tho

Actually no, I'm looking at some sims pictures of him and this body type is ok, see I told you I was overthinking it

should I make the catfish -- errr, the guardian resemble Caleb? for funsies and as a reference to where we started? 🤭

teeheee yes we're doing that indeed. I'm gonna call him...Fakeleb. Like. Fake Caleb. Caleb from Wish, if you will

THERE'S MY BOY he's alive for now

Of course we fail the very first check 💀💀 not the smartest tool in the shed, I know buddy, I know

BAE'zel time 😗😗

I'm taking a lot more screenshots this time around

he's growing on me btw, i'm starting to like his face

worst hangover of his life, last time he checked he was a happy little sim guy, how did he get here?!

he didn't pin him to the ground? where's the fun in that 🥺

Anyway, time to stop today, it's late. I really enjoy being back in act 1 though!

Let's take him downnnnnn

THAT'S 👏 FUCKEN 👏 RIGHT 👏 BITCH

mmmm crispy bastard

this performance like hello why don't we talk about it more 😭😭😭

omg he could be Ross's uglier blonde twin

suspicious group therapy yay :D

Back home from the doctor, let's finish this

I wish we could see more of Nocturne!

once again the hugs mod gives me life

A reunion at last 🥹🥹

HE SHMOL

Iron Throne time!

He absolutely should not be the one driving the submersible, look at him. Man has no idea what he's doing

I HATE HER (step on me pls) I HATE HER SO MUCH MIZORA WHEN I CATCH YOU

We're gonna pretend Wyll isn't the only one of my party who survived aaaaaand reload because I lost the other three trying to save Omeluum, every other hostage got out but I want this funky lil mindflayer to live too

Well that went even worse so I'm leaving that for tomorrow, probably. Hockey now. And if I can't get it done, I still saved after my first attempt so I can just go there and yeah f in the chat for Omeluum 🥲

I love her, did I mention I love her

6 feet something isn't enough for you? 🤨

Notice how squishy the boys are but our evil girlboss stands strong. Yes Ross got downed again, as he always does

asmr <<<<<< pickpocketing ppl with Astarion

freaking gondians can you stop dying for ONE MINUTE I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOU

well that's just rude

chill emperor, chill, we'll be fine

Gondians will have to wait, I felt like doing something else, something more exciting...and even that will have to wait actually, because I wanna go watch a stream. Oh well, tomorrow!
