My favourites to play in order Custom > Astarion > Shadowcute > Gale > Wyll > Karlach > Laezel > Durge Custom: I'm that player who loves to not fight. I'm not ashamed of it. Playing with a background that has persuasion or intimidation opens up every class for me to play without stimping out on on the talking. Especially when a cleric enhanced ability and the guidance necklace come into play Astarion because his silent dialogue options are funny. Some of them are like Durges but the theatre kid version or they're Astarion preening. Also the reason I prefer him over Shadowcute is because I'm a Shadowcute romancer. How am I supposed to romance her playing as her? When I play as Shadowheart I romance Astarion mainly because it is mechanically beneficial to be a vampire spawn for Mystic Carrion's lair because that way I can be a mage without getting spellrot. My most preferred romance is Shadowcute but if I'm playing as her my other romance decisions are more utilitarian because they just can't match up to Shadowcute romance emotionally Shadowcute: She's the most beautiful non modded Avatar to play as. A good playthrough is believable with her. An evil playthrough is believable with her. Before mods as a woman I wanted to play as her because she was beautiful and she gets shield proficiency Gale: I might be wrong but I think he gets the most power ups that he doesn't get as a companion? An extra 3rd or 2nd level spell slot, ring of evasion. I'm not advocating for this next course of action but it's a reality that Tara is carrying a collar that does telekinesis that you can loot. Also Tara is awesome. Not advocating for it but purposefully leaving out advantages I'm aware of would be going against the point of listing the advantages Wyll: I'm a hero playthrough enjoyer. I get so much inspo XP without even trying just by playing as him. I also like that Florrick is so relieved to see you. Plus our patron is more involved Karlach: I love her monologues Laezel: I'm not into the whole brutality culture and might makes right but Gith Tav is pushed aside in favour of her in Githyanki interactions so playing as her fixes that Durge: I love Sceleritas, I love the cloak, I love Gortash's happiness upon seeing me, I like the Orin fight being easier and that's about it really
That dude on the Moonrise docks you can actually talk him into killing himself by telling him "yeah you should wash that off" when he talks about the insects he feels on his skin. Think his name is Acolyte Marls. The others respond after watching him jump into the water with "what the hell?" But they don't get hostile because it was his decision to jump off
Love the way you host your runs: gamer to gamer. I used your Stealth Archer build in my last and current runs even though I struggle with the stealthy mechanics. Also, The 1400 XP for smashing Rafa in the mountain pass silence bubble was nice for my current run. The Helldusk is handy, too. *Skrrt, skrrt*
Monks are actually kinda scary because if you choose the monk option with Zrell she's kinda worried because she feels no emotion from you but she lets it go and there is no roll eithet
Im not on your stream so I don't know if anybody answered your question. You can relocate NPCs on PS5 as circle is cancel but you can't carry them indefinitely. But I have only tested this with a recruited Us on the nautiloid. I don't know how practical it is with NPCs who walk back or teleport back to their location. Can you get them to where you want them or do they walk back so far you're just not really getting them anywhere? Does cunning action dash make a difference? Those sorts of questions
It's not wrong to steal from Volo when we're giving him safety. Companions pay rent by being willing to fight with us and endanger their lives when asked or at least doing campside chores. Withers is self-explanatory in what he does for us when needed Yet we give Volo protection ( literally because after he left us he got tied to a bunch of smokepowder barrels ) and yet doesn't pay us for it? Taking his stuff is called making sure Volo isn't freeloading 🤷
If you recast greater invisibility after passing a few checks, for example after killing the mind flayer before myrkul, doesn't the first check reset to 15 again?
There is a hidden card collecting mechanic in BG3, you will obtain boosts based on the number and type of cards plus unlock an exclusive secret ending which can only be datamined normally
Just when I thought you couldn't top yourself.
"Ayo?"
If you need another intern you could also grab Mirkon if you feel like taking on the harpies. I’ve heard he also yearns for the mines.

What is the name of that mod that changes your hotbar to display AC and DMG?

I've never really went into the portal to attack the guide. I should do that so I can see the outcome.
Nice run.

I could see you doing a troll build guide that could be fun 😊
hear me out, *The 1HP IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE* next, amirite?
Can someone explain why she always collects corpses?
Its a reference to the hit 1997 anime Berserk where a certain character 'collects' the dead bodies in order to build his kingdom.

@@shartstan97 I didn't realise there's a secret ending that depends on collecting corpses?
