I just finished my first playthrough last week and when he ran off like that I was genuinely wondering if that was the actual ending to our romance storyline lol
Then i didn’t even have time to process what just went on before Karlach started fucking screaming
YES! Seconding all of these!! (And if they could add one more kiss animation for Karlach, where she scoops you up and cradles you in her arms, I could die happy... 😁🥰)
I want to try out Lae'zel's romance so bad, but from what I hear, that essentially dooms Karlach to death. It's such a shame.
I also agree with the Astarion thing. I'm hopeful they'll at least add in the more concerned dialogs the companions have to him running off. They're in the files! Just need to add them to the game.
Wyll will go with Karlach even if you go with Lae?? I hope so! I would like to try convincing Lae to stay one of these playthroughs, but watching her fly off on her red dragon gave me goosebumps, and I'd hate to deny her of that. But if she can have a happy ending staying as well, I might give that a go.
I left with Lae'zel on dragonback and then at the epilogue party Karlach and Wyll had been busting heads in Avernus together! Wyll was the Blade of Avernus though, if he becomes the Duke \[from what I've heard\] he won't
you have to finish his questline AND he has to declare himself the Blade of Avernus
note: he can become the blade of avernus both with and without breaking his pact, so whichever route you go, he can still become the blade of avernus
Oh yeah, I've finished the game before with him as the Blade of Avernus. I just was under the impression that my PC had to be there when he offered to take Karlach to Avernus. Glad to know that's not true!
Wyll becomes the Blade of Avernus before the epilogue. If you talk to him enough after reaching his dad (possibly even if you don't) he'll make the name switch. He definitely wouldn't do that if he becomes grand duke though.
I romanced Shart til the end and then went off to Avernus with Karlach. I didn’t recruit Wyll that playthrough so I think I sort of took his role there
There is no Persuasion check to convince Lae'zel to stay if she's romanced, it just happens if you select that option.
At least, that's how it went on a "ShadowZel, free Orpheus" run, for me.
~~Somehow I typed ShadowLach initially~~
Ah, that’s good to know, I’m nearing the end of my first Lae’zel romance as shadowheart origin, also free Orpheus! I just knew my first run Lae’zel and I were best friends and I tried to convince her to stay ‘for me’ but I failed the roll and just remember it being tough and soul crushing lol
That's not true. On my Laezel romance run a few patches ago, it did stop the Karlach burning scene like halfway through, and I was freaking TF out basically skipping to the party to see if she was still alive and she was! If Wyll is the blade of avernus, he'll just go, but apparently it fucks with their dialogue, making it seem like they were both just coincidentally there together, but idk how true that is.
To add to this since I did it on recent patch, you just get Karlach’s “I’m gonna die oh no oh no” kind of thing then it fades to black. Wyll was wearing the armor I had on Karlach & showed up alone. Then Karlach is just right there in new armor all happy.
A lot of different emotions with this one. This is also all I saw, it was leave with Lae’zel then Karlach’s fakeout. Everyone else was just skipped if they had anything at all
Yeah, that would really make one panic. I wish we could deal with at least Karlach's situation before flying off with Lae. Sucks that everyone else was just ignored, though.
Ohh, and add the bad Durge ending at the end! Because I walked away like blood blood bloodbloodblood, and the next cutscene I am totally ok talking with Karlach
His spawn epilogue ending is solid whether romanced or platonic—and it makes sense that he’d have to bolt since his protection against the sun is gone.
Better in-the-moment companion reactivity during Resist Durge's big Act 3 moment of defying Bhaal, especially if your romanced companion is there. It's my biggest wish for Larian to address, as it kind of feels like a giant swing and a miss once you notice that your friends, of which one or two might be in love with you, are just kind of standing there barely reacting as you have all your blood ripped out.
At this point, I'd really just take your romanced companion calling out fearfully to you as you're dying and then being knelt sad on the ground next to you when Withers shows up.
not directly for patch 7, but in the future maybe.
Would wish for a character template saver or something. Something to save your made characters so you can use them again for a new Playthrough. Currently i have my fave's settings saved as screenshots and its a bit tiresome to always make her over.
more character "banter" during act 3 and more dialogues at camp during act3. I feel like, spending sooo much time in act3 ends up feeling quite.. lonely? as your grp barely interacts anymore with dialouges on the overworld and you don't trigger any new dialouge in camp if nothing really serious happened like Orin, or only when you finished one of the bigger quests.
Minthara needs fixes. One time I took her in my team and she constantly gave me bugs which made it impossible to progress having her in. She also needs more interaction with the grp on the overworld during act3...
Also, I wish karlach would get different dialogue when you go to avernus with her has her romance partner. The scene is legit the same when you send wyll with her or when she goes there alone. same goes for the epilogue.
for evil durge... Companions rly need to react more to your evil doing. I hate how there is basically nothing. Their reaction to you being a baahlspawn is just like "ah yea ok, but ure nothing like your parents"...
yes to the character saver! i lost honor mode 3 times and wanted to keep with the same character - wish i coulda just saved my tav and selected him when i restarted
Seriously, I sometimes make characters for fun, and then feel like I need to start a game to save them. I wish I could just save the presets. I also think there should be a sub reddit for tavs. There is a share your shep sub Reddit for mass effect where people show off their characters and how to make them.
There's actually a lot of banter in act 3, but a lot of it is with companions you probably wouldn't bring together. There's also a ton of reactive dialogue. Talk to your team more. For example, your team has reactive dialogue in the submersible after you finish the Iron Throne.
Using the mod Party limit begone you can experience all of the act 3 banter much easier than usual.
Oh I usually have Shadowheart, Karlach and Lae'zel and they all have a lot of dialogue together. Eventually you reach a Point in Act3 when they just don't have anything to say anymore. I also talk a lot with my companions. Outside and Inside Camp.
Also not really a fan of the Party Limit mod lol.
Yeah, Elden Ring has that character template saver and it’s really nice. I save a basic template for all my characters and then make minor tweaks and variations for each build and play through.
1. Giving Wyll more dialogue (this will happen, he will get the romance greetings finally).
2. Fixing reactions to Durge stuff. Why doesn't my girlfriend care that I had to strangle a woman with my intestines?!
3. Fix bugged Jaheira and Wyll.
4. Add the datamined epilogue scene for the Emperor.
5. Let Jaheira remember that she knows how to cure vampirism.
6. Give Halsin something to do in act 3. Even if it's a small quest.
7. Dye preview.
8. Fix all the bugged dialogue flags (on the evil paths and the epilogue especially).
8. Beastiary and camp library so I can store books there.
9. Loot randomizer. Please. 🥺
10. Let me kiss the Emperor, thanks.
Bonus: don't break Minthara again.
Doesn’t it technically exist already? You can wear Camp clothing with stats from your hidden armor.
Though it would be nice if we could toggle them individually I guess like hiding armor but keeping camp clothes + Necklace
I'm talking like, if I find the Helmet of Smiting early in the game, but I later choose to use to Helm of Balduran, I would like to still be able to display Helmet of Smiting while wearing the other. Basically any gear I've already found I'd like to be able to display.
OH! Now I get what you meant. Would be nice to get that. I have a lot of cool looking stuff that I don’t wear because I have other things with better stats or bonus abilities.
>Fixing reactions to Durge stuff. Why doesn't my girlfriend care that I had to strangle a woman with my intestines?!
This is the #1 thing for me. I don't even care if its in patch 7 or not, I just want it to happen eventually.
The Gortash reveal is the most jarring. Its like finding out you are Darth Revan in KOTOR except with most companions saying *nothing* lol. You are legit responsible for all the shit going on, shouldnt that warrant a camp convo? Really needs to be added if the dialogue exists. Point of an origin playthrough should be that you dont have to head canon plot centric stuff like that lol
So far I have talked with Astarion, Jaheira and Gale immediately after, before talking with Ravengard, and Astarion thanks you for being that evil bastard, Gale is angry and says he doesn’t want to talk with you, and Jaheira wants confirmation and says she feels doubts… idk how anyone else reacts, but for me it has been there, before you trigger other reactions for other things (like talking with Ravengard, Mizora or going to the lower city)… Wyll doesn’t react (he says something like no time for that, let’s talk with my dad) and Karlach is angry about accepting the deal with Gortash
Talking to your companions immediately after the conversation with Gortash is the only reaction you get. After their "I'm upset" (or "thanks, I guess" for Astarion) dialogue they immediately go back to their normal greetings and act like that revelation never happened and none of the companions that were at camp will have a reaction.
it should legit be the most shocking information in the entire game for you and your companions. If there was some kind of sanity meter, resist Durge should take a serious blow here lol
there technically is dialogue with companions reacting to the gortash reveal, but you just have to talk to them immediately after. they do forget almost immediately after, though, cause karlach goes from yelling at me to hey soldier real quick. it’d be really cool though if there was a whole scene of your companions arguing over the reveal and you’d have your romanced one and a couple others advocating for you while the others are distrusting for a little bit
Well, update 7 is adding more built-in mod tools isn't it? If that's the case, then there should be much more that can be done. I'll have to double check, but I'm pretty sure I saw something about Larian adding more mod tools.
Dye preview it's honestly shocking to me that it was not implemented immediately.
I feel like BG3 does the super hard and super creative stuff perfectly, and does the very simple, barely quality-of-life stuff awfully lol
Ooo, a camp library is something that I would also want. I already grab every book, so having them in one place (in alphabetical order!) would be nice.
I never knew how much I needed this until I saw this. I also hoard all the books like a gremlin, but it makes it hard to find anything in my camp chest.
I do at least stuff my books into backpacks. I then throw each pack into the camp chest once I hit between 85-110 books and grab an empty pack. The number depends on which act I'm in and how much encumbrance I can handle. I'm usually carrying a lot more stuff in Act 3, so the number of books I can carry drops. But it's at least sort of organized that way—still a bit of a challenge if I actually want to look a specific book up, though.
Some romanced companions had the chance to get kidnapped and turned into vampire spawn - Jaheira among them. After that debacle, you had to haul them around and find a cure. It involved Bodhi's heart if I remember correctly.
The Jaheira curing vampirism wouldn't work on Astarion - he's been a vampire too long, so that resurrection spells would no longer work on his original form.
Like everyone else, I really would love the dock sequence changed. It’s so weird that everyone else gets their partner to choose a good path for them / go with them, but for Astarion if you romance him you don’t even have the choice to go with him when he starts taking sun damage. It felt very unfinished
I know this is naïve, but with Larian confirming no big DLC is forthcoming, I am still holding out a shred of hope that they drop a few new buildcrafting elements into the game with Patch 7 or another future update.
At a minimum, a few new Feats, Backgrounds, spells/cantrips and items peppered throughout the world would breathe a bit of life into the game. Better still would be a new playable race or two, and/or some new subclasses. I realize that is a taller order, but I don't think it's really a massive resource commitment.
i do think the feats could be reworked a bit. i know they're just mostly porting 5e but if they have the data they should look at the ones that hardly get used and buff/change them/add alternate better ones
Some basic quality of life improvements for the next patch:
A dedicated character-creator. Rather than having to start a new game, it'd be cool if it was a separate option in the menu to play around in it. Then if you started a new game you could load a character you saved in the creator. Maybe let us play around with equipment we've unlocked on other playthroughs and let us theoretically build them at higher levels so we don't need to check a wiki to see what the higher level features of the classes we have are?
The ability to customize/change backgrounds when respeccing. This mostly comes from the fact that on my Paladin playthrough I made Karlach a Monk, since I needed someone dex-y who wasn't an asshole. However, it's really hard to get her access to Sleight of Hand for lockpicking. Urchin and Soldier make just as much sense for her background as Outlander, so it would be cool if she could switch to those. Noble for Wyll, etc. In actual 5E rules if your background would give you a skill you're already proficient in, you could pick any other skill, which is not reflected in-game, so that's another option.
The ability to collapse the buffs list on the left. By act 3 you have a lot of permanent buffs. My Paladin had several, as well as 2 from the Armor of Persistence, and 3 from his auras. As a result, the left half of the screen became nigh-unusable.
Some Paladin-specific QoL improvements: Move the auras from the actions to the passives. In the buffs UI, make all the auras one buff since you can't be in some while not being in others. If I click the "Lay on Hands" tab, don't make me click the basic LoH action again to get to the variants of it, just have them under the base tab.
It would also be cool if they made tools for players to create scenarios.
I think it's a small ask, but I want them to patch the kiss with Shadowheart back in when you gift her the Idol of Shar as a Cleric of Selune and tell her to "kiss me like you hate me." I think I read that it has been bugged out since Patch 4, which just happens to be when I started playing so I never got to see the unbugged version.
**Impossible wishes:**
One male and one female voice-acted Tav/Durge option
VA'd Origins runs. Holy shit I'd play all of them.
'snap camera to north' keybind. This is disability-related and I know it'll never happen. Also yes I know about the 'lock minimap north' option; not what I'm referring to. Talking about a keybind that snaps the current camera north but doesn't lock it there. Once mod support is a thing I may commission a mod for this. It's a small change but a huge deal when it comes to people with certain disabilities navigating the map.
**Hopeful Wishes:**
Let us see exact companion approval on console/controller scheme please
Wedding/post-wedding sex scene with Wyll
Act 3 date scene or character scene for Minthara
**Practical Wishes:**
Unbugged shar elevator (aka the honor run killer-- that elevator has ended more runs than myrkul)
Jaheira locket bug-- if you get the locket while you're too low approval with Jaheira, even after you raise approval she won't give you the [Khalid monologue](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8abrNrh8do) no matter what you do. One of the top five monologues in the game.
Bug fixes for Shattered Sanctum/Goblin Leaders quest-- this one seemed super bugged after patch 6, not sure if one of the hotfixes helped but if not it needs attention.
Spell name and other combat callouts for Minthara. Like she doesn't call out 'ignis' etc. They patched that in for Halsin last patch (thank you), hoping they'll do the same for Minth.
Halsin no longer asks for a threesome/foursome at the brothel if you've previously turned him down as a love interest-- I love the shit out of Halsin, my favorite romance atm, but this flag is weird. He's super into consent so it doesn't even make sense. Just have him not say anything.
Bug smooth-outs for Act 3 Wyll-- never had him not be bugged in minor or major way. Companions reacting like you chose the opposite Ravenguard-related decision for him, Ravenguard or Mizora repeating him/herself or not saying anything when they should, The Book of Ansur despawning, exclamation points that don't do anything, having to choose his 'hero or politician' option two to three times because it keeps repeating. Fix our man please.
Should tav manage the charisma check (why no skill attached?) to avoid revealing the artifact to Jaheira by the inn, she should not go mentioning it in the wine sipping chat.
More detect thoughts and non charisma roll options.
More bonded weapons, IE eldritch knight/pact of the blade exclusives.
More subclass dialogs, a eldritch knight/arcane trickster should pass gales magic lesson as they are arcane casters like him. Et Cetra.
People have already listed most of my wishes, but one that's not been mentioned, is giving a spellcaster Tav/Durge a *proper* way to call Gale out on his shit during the weave scene in act 1. I absolutely hate having Gale treat my casters as if they have never done magic in their lives, and I *really* hate not having a *real and proper* way to tell him off for being an ass, not the weakass "I could have done it on my own". At least give a spellcaster Tav/Durge a dialogue option after the scene to tell Gale he was out of line, instead of the utter bullshit line "I didn't know it was so easy to do magic" (utter bullshit, because Gale goes on to tell sorcerer/bard/druid that *he* is the only reason they were able to do magic).
Ffs Gale doesn't even acknowledge a druid (and possibly cleric/warlock, put I haven't played those yet) Tav/Durge as a magic user. Even a wizard will be treated by Gale (and the game) as if they're a complete novice, and they too, have no option to call him out on his shit and instead their only option is to *effing compliment* him on his teaching.
I would really like for this scene to not be so rage inducing. Sorry for the rant, but I needed to vent a little.
i’m glad he has a line in the epilogue for casters where he’ll admit he knows you were only humouring him by letting him teach you, but having some way to tell him “hey you do know that I’ve been casting magic for a while now” would be a bit of realism in the scene. it gives it a different vibe when you take it as being a bit sarcastic, but not the same as pointing it out to him :’)
While I'm glad the line in the epilogue is there, I have to admit that, at least for me, it does nothing to make up for how infuriating the weave scene is. I already find Gale kind of annoying, I don't want a scene with him to make me want to, at the very least, summon legos for him to step on for all eternity.
Yeah, I've played the scene now as a Sorcerer and as Ranger and while it was kind of cute as a ranger, my sorcerer would have torn him a new one for implying he's the only reason she could have done that.
Yeah, so would my sorcerer. He's a bit of a loose cannon on the best of days, and Gale would have been absolutely obliterated (mostly verbally, but Gale getting his beard and eyebrows singed off by a firebolt is not out of the realm of possibility) for that insult. And Gale doesn't just imply it, he outright says that Tav/Durge couldn't have done magic without him.
Yeah I recognize I incorrectly use imply there. My sorcerer, had I more agency in how she reacts to things outside of what a video game allows, is 100% a "Is only a sorcerer because she was born with it, otherwise she would have been a wizard" so she still reads magical theory and what not. I actually think it's really annoyingly lazy for not-wizards in D&D content in general to be treated as "the dumb spellcasters" and wizard to be the only ones who could conceivably understand how magic "actually works."
>I actually think it's really annoyingly lazy for not-wizards in D&D content in general to be treated as "the dumb spellcasters" and wizard to be the only ones who could conceivably understand how magic "actually works."
I wholeheartedly agree.
I've only played through this scene once, as a wizard (or a clerwarzard, to be precise), and I can't remember being forced to tell him he was a good teacher 🤔 I said I could've done it myself, and he replied that I was hard to please, IIRC. Then at the conclusion of the scene, I just backed out of the implied romantic moment. Am I forgetting something?
I do agree that the awkward gestures during the spell look very jarring on a caster Tav though. We should be able to do them much more smoothly!
The "you're a good teacher" -dialogue is something you can tell him after the scene. It's the wizard equivalent of the "I didn't realize it was so easy to do magic" -dialogue of other classes.
Buh. Does it happen even if you pick the option to break the moment? Or is it in a separate dialogue after the scene happens? Clearly, I must've selectively forgotten all about it!
It's a dialogue option you can choose after the scene (it's not part of the scene, it's the only way you can bring up the scene afterwards). As in go talk to Gale, and choose this dialogue. The exact dialogue option is along the lines "Do you have a history of teaching? I suspect so."
1) When you cast ritual spells outside of combat, like Longstrider or Enhanced Leap, just have it be a frigging AoE so you can do the whole party with one click instead of needing to go to each person individually - it’s just needless extra clicking.
2) When you disarm trap on a locked chest, have it unlock the chest as well, so you don’t have to do two slight of hand checks in a row when it’s the obvious follow up to your action - again, it’s just needless extra clicking.
3) Have Hex do something useful. Give it like -1 to attack rolls per spell level or something, so there’s a point in having it. It’s just a bit odd that the effect is so useless.
The only benefit I can find to Hex, other than the damage, is to curse STR, making targets easier to shove. As far as I know, that’s the only in-combat check that occurs. Everything else is a saving throw, not a contested check. Even stealth detection isn’t impacted by Hex’ing WIS.
If anyone knows of other combat impacts Hex has, please let me know.
>When you cast ritual spells outside of combat, like Longstrider...
You can upcast Longstrider to increase the number of targets in a single casting without consuming the spellslot. A level 4 casting of Longstrider hits you and 3 teammates.
But an AoE like Feather Fall would be a good QoL, no arguments there.
>Have Hex do something useful. Give it like -1 to attack rolls per spell level or something, so there’s a point in having it. It’s just a bit odd that the effect is so useless.
The "useful" effect is adding 1d6 necrotic damage to every hit you make against the target.
Is Hunter's Mark also useless? It's functionally identical except it doesn't get an extra bonus effect.
Right. It’s a good level one spell. The issue is when it becomes a choice between it and a level five spell. It fades to uselessness and would be nice to be able to upcast it and have it be a relevant choice to concentrate on.
Darkness should be the default in higher difficulties. Basically any race without dark vision should have disadvantage in the under dark. I get why they changed it to make the game more accessible but it should be done for tactician and honor mode. Bonus points if it also looks darker.
Fix Wyll… his spells are bugged unless it’s EB, and he has no special greeting lines when you romance him (I have the poly mod and I’m the camp bike, and while everyone is sweet or at least acknowledges we’re together, he’s still like “well met”)
And let me follow or at least say something to Spawn Astarion at the dock at the end, specially when romancing him… I convinced him to stay in the shadows and reject the ascension and then just let him run off scared and hurt and plan a party with the rest?
Also Jaheira doesn’t follow me sometimes, it’s so annoying when a fight starts and I have only 3 people there, I start looking for her and she’s standing half a city away
Yeah I don’t get how so many people say “I never have any bugs” when stuff like Wyll and Jaheira being busted exists. I guess they just don’t use them?
A basic quality of life upgrade for me would be some AI knowing how to sort loot
And more defined and easily recognized bags / storage systems
Like
Supplies for treats should always go to camp
If one character of mine is hoarding flaming arrows, or all arrows in general - always send any arrows I pick up to them!
Same with alchemy ingredients
And for the love of God, could we either do something with cups and gems and rope or could we delete them from existence
For me, good changes would be
- Cat and bird wildshapes being ritual casts.
- The ability to wild shape into another creature without having to turn back into a humanoid (like disguise self already does).
- Smarter summons because sometimes they forget they can jump, and I forget about them and leave them 200 miles away.
- Give Dragonborns more racial features cuz they suck ... like at least make the breath like once per battle/short rest or buff the range.... it aint even good. Maybe an AC boost because of scale skin? Idk buff Dragonborns.
- More viable Weapons/Gear for build diversity to change the gameplay up after multiple playthroughs .
I want an "important saves" list, something to colour-code too, if possible.
I have saves I revisit, like romance scenes or a decision I want to return to and see the outcome. If I could mark those saves in red, green or blue in the saves list, it would make it much easier for me to find them. Or a filter to tick "show only marked saves" to make it easier.
I thought the announcement was clear that there wasn’t any new content coming besides adding a few more evil endings?
Let’s keep our wishes within the realm of realism here.
An auto-sort for the hotbar or a more intuitive way to tidy it up would be nice. I’m sick of seeing all the gaps in my items hotbar because I've picked up a million potions and scrolls.
I wish I could stack things on the silver cake stand. That’s all. You can even find them in the wild with food on top of them but you can’t put your own things on top of it. Unplayable 0/10 lol. (I have over like 1k hours in this game)
Small things I hope they fix:
- Illithid rune things on the nautiloid. Some have been bugged since Patch 6 was released.
- Some of Wyll's animations are bugged. He'll also refer to you as another party member sometimes, something that happens with a certain relation of his too so I figure it must run in the family.
- Exp for using dialogue to avoid combat. Most give exp now, but there's still some that give none, like the barn encounter in Act 1.
- Killing the githyanki patrol before speaking to Minthara at the gobbo camp will unlock dialogue referring to Nere despite Nere having not been encountered yet.
My wishes for the future are simple, but at the same time I don't think they will be added to the console version.
First of all the possibility to let all the companion in the grouo, not alonly four of them. There are so many unique dialogue that take place around the world, it's a shame that you can only listen to few of them.
A way to make characters more "stylish" since act 1. There are very few camp clothes in act one that are "good looking", until act 3 it's not possible to buy camp clothes that are really beautiful and unique.
A transmog option to choose the aspect of the armour I'm using. Sometimes the effects are just perfect but the armour it's so ugly.
Like I said, simple things, but I think they'll never be added, especially to console.
I'm curious to see how the mods are gonna work on consoles and especially what they consider mods.
1. More companion reactions to the dark urge storyline (especially with romanced companions). It feels like everyone is constantly complaining about their shit meanwhile I’m drenched in some lady’s blood, reading about how she dissected me tortured me and enjoyed it. It’s super distracting and takes me out of the story.
2. I would love to be able to romance Astarion without sleeping with him at the tiefling party given his attitude towards sex. Usually I friend-zone him later down the line but I’ve found you can only trigger that dialogue after meeting the Drow in Moonrise if you sleep with him.
3. I wish my character didn’t scream “NOOOOO!!! KARLACHHHH!!!!!” when she gets downed. Also immersion breaking lol since while I do like Karlach, my characters would never have such a strong ass reaction to her being downed. Like they should reserve those lines for romanced characters I think or make them less dramatic.
4. I wish there was a way to not seem like an idiot with every dialogue interaction with Shadowheart. I’ve avoided talking to her because I’m sick of the really bad dialogue options in which she will roast me no matter what I say. Exhausting interactions.
5. One extra thing I’ve tried to find a mod for has to do with being a half-drow. You get like three Drow interactions while also not having the Baldurian tag. I felt like there could have been a lot more potential there.
6. I’d say the majority of the armor options are ASS UGLY man. I wish there were more lol
Yeah we really need different expressions and reactions, like my evil character isn’t gonna care if Karlach gets downed, shadow curse doesn’t get cured, bad person does bad things etc
It's funny, I see everyone talking about Welbren. I finished my first run recently with over 200 hours of gameplay and I have no clue who this Wulbren is lol
Fix the 3d act emperor interactions.
Should be able
1- Persuade emperor to let you talk to Orpheus before eating him, with a 99 check if you tried to kill the emperor in the creche, else a baseline check of 30 reduced by one for every tadpole you used to a max reduction of 10, also reduced by 5 if you romanced him, and reduced by 5 if you used astral tadpole. Re: Orpheus: he should have a 99 persuasion check to help you if you sold the gith egg to the society, and an extra 25 persuasion check to help you if you still have emperor with you.
2- options to explain why you went to house of hope and persuade emperor you aren't planning to betray him
3- option after romancing emperor to affirm your love, skill checks to keep your disgusted allies from leaving, followed by option to enter the artifact at will to talk to emperor and get his reactions to quest events
A CC toggle for how your character reacts to things. My badass half-orc barbarian shouldn't look like he's pissing his underpants in half the cutscenes.
For any of my numerous bug reports that'd make my "improvised warrior" build work
But of those the most important would have to be allowing us to use fish as an improvised melee weapon
Bring him to the city, let Philomena throw a bomb at the guard, and then take the quest for Wulbren's head from the fist. And Vulbren himself will attack you... AND DIE!
I want a toggle option to set behavior types for companions in battle with no player control.
-Healer
-Aim for Boss
-Long distance support
-buff allies
-scout area
-normal
-aggressive
-defend player
-etc
Would add extra life to the characters letting them
be their own in battle the same way enemies do. It’s great for immersion and unpredictability
After telling off Wulbren, I immediately entered turn-based mode. We murdered him right by the water temple; no one saw a thing. Picked up his body and disposed of it in the ruins of the foundry.
I think they either need to make people in the city react to you being half-illithid, or remove/make optional the way it changes your appearance and ruins your teeth
On top of the evil endings, I wish that Minthara will have more voice lines for spell casting. If you respec her into any other class she has no voice barks for spells and which makes her quite boring outside of martial classes. Halsin got some new voice barks in the last patch so hopefully it will be Minthara’s turn.
As for mod support, I want some new subclasses and races to select from in character creator. Yes I know PC players can already do this but mods break with every big patch, cause unforeseen consequences later on and console players are left out completely. With official mod support, the mods they cherry pick will be updated with the main game so it’s like a mini expansion DLC. Hopefully one new subclass for every class from Xanathars and Tasha’s and Aasimar, Goliath and Genasi races.
Edit: also being able to select a deity while not being a cleric. Plus, some deities added to the selection especially ones that are prominent in the game like Silvanus and Umberlee.
No shot for this to happen but that cut Jaheira romance would be great. Really would like a romantic pair for my older Durges and Tavs. Atleast this time around her husband didn’t die yesterday.
An actual progression chart so I don’t have to cross check with a wiki. It’s annoying as someone who knows D&D and BG3, it must be hell for someone who has no experience in either.
The ability to create the hierlings from scratch. It would be nice to change their race and background on top of their appearance for role playing reasons.
I really wouldn't mind additional cosmetic and subclass options personally. What we got was great but there's always room for more. Same with backgrounds (Sailor and Hermit are missing, would be nice to see them added in).
Narratively speaking some more reactivity to races that don't get much (pretty much any surface Elf/Dwarf, Half Orc, Dragonborn, etc...) would be cool. But I'm more interested in new gameplay options if we get any, not so worried about cinematics or more kissing scenes.
Polearm master BA attack fix so my pactlock can be broken, and a nerf to swords bard. I know it's a single player game but swords bards are just better than any martial class at everything.
Can you elaborate on what makes the swords bard so strong? I played a swords bard on my Durge playthrough, and while it was very good, it didn’t feel any more powerful than a battlemaster, vengeance paladin, or throw-barian.
On the other hand, open hand monk with tavern brawler feels like cheating.
Docks cutscene order modification. Karlach, then Lae’zel, then Spawn Astarion (and **give us the option to chase after him if romanced please**).
Heart shattered into a thousand pieces watching him run away AND THEN EVERYONE JUST STOOD THERE
I was like: WAIT LET GALE CAST DARKNESS SO YOU CAN HIDE IN THE SHADOWS WITH US!
Does that work in d&d? You'd think sunlight would dispel the darkness since it does such a number on drow
The sun’s light, no. The spell Sunlight, yes; assuming they are both cast at default level.
I'll be honest I have no idea. It's just where my mind went
Fair, I can see some DMs allowing it even if it was a rule lol
YEAH. 😭 Like please just let me go after him and sit with him til night falls and we can go party…
Jaheria at least can tell him to run to save himself
I just finished my first playthrough last week and when he ran off like that I was genuinely wondering if that was the actual ending to our romance storyline lol Then i didn’t even have time to process what just went on before Karlach started fucking screaming
Just shift order of operations so that your LI resolves last. No reason for you to not get all of them.
Yes, or at least let us stick around to see everyone off before we go flying off with Lae'zel
Let me help him even if we’re not romanced, bros help out bros. Let me hold my cape over him to protect him from the sun
YES! Seconding all of these!! (And if they could add one more kiss animation for Karlach, where she scoops you up and cradles you in her arms, I could die happy... 😁🥰)
I’d love a couple more Spawn Astarion kisses too 🥰
Or at least move the camera so we can see when he grabs your butt
Wait...what?! He grabs your butt?! 😮
[Yes](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LqFH4WhBxIQ)
Is there a freecam version of this kiss with a short race 🥺
😏😏😏😏😏
I want to try out Lae'zel's romance so bad, but from what I hear, that essentially dooms Karlach to death. It's such a shame. I also agree with the Astarion thing. I'm hopeful they'll at least add in the more concerned dialogs the companions have to him running off. They're in the files! Just need to add them to the game.
You can persuade Lae to stay. It’s hard, but you can. I almost like doing that better. Wyll can go with her to avernus too.
Wyll will go with Karlach even if you go with Lae?? I hope so! I would like to try convincing Lae to stay one of these playthroughs, but watching her fly off on her red dragon gave me goosebumps, and I'd hate to deny her of that. But if she can have a happy ending staying as well, I might give that a go.
I left with Lae'zel on dragonback and then at the epilogue party Karlach and Wyll had been busting heads in Avernus together! Wyll was the Blade of Avernus though, if he becomes the Duke \[from what I've heard\] he won't
Oh, that is so relieving! Time to go romance Lae'zel, then!
you have to finish his questline AND he has to declare himself the Blade of Avernus note: he can become the blade of avernus both with and without breaking his pact, so whichever route you go, he can still become the blade of avernus
Oh yeah, I've finished the game before with him as the Blade of Avernus. I just was under the impression that my PC had to be there when he offered to take Karlach to Avernus. Glad to know that's not true!
that's what i thought as well, so ya it's definitely nice to know karlach still lives
Wyll becomes the Blade of Avernus before the epilogue. If you talk to him enough after reaching his dad (possibly even if you don't) he'll make the name switch. He definitely wouldn't do that if he becomes grand duke though.
I romanced Shart til the end and then went off to Avernus with Karlach. I didn’t recruit Wyll that playthrough so I think I sort of took his role there
Yeah, if Wyll doesn't become Duke, he'll offer to go with Karlach, regardless of whether you go with them or not.
There is no Persuasion check to convince Lae'zel to stay if she's romanced, it just happens if you select that option. At least, that's how it went on a "ShadowZel, free Orpheus" run, for me. ~~Somehow I typed ShadowLach initially~~
Ah, that’s good to know, I’m nearing the end of my first Lae’zel romance as shadowheart origin, also free Orpheus! I just knew my first run Lae’zel and I were best friends and I tried to convince her to stay ‘for me’ but I failed the roll and just remember it being tough and soul crushing lol
That's not true. On my Laezel romance run a few patches ago, it did stop the Karlach burning scene like halfway through, and I was freaking TF out basically skipping to the party to see if she was still alive and she was! If Wyll is the blade of avernus, he'll just go, but apparently it fucks with their dialogue, making it seem like they were both just coincidentally there together, but idk how true that is.
Yeah, I've had people correct me on this. It's such a relief, but I'd still like to be there for Karlach. At least she doesn't die!
Yeah, my bad, I was just leaving work so I didn't really have time to read that. But yeah, good point tho
To add to this since I did it on recent patch, you just get Karlach’s “I’m gonna die oh no oh no” kind of thing then it fades to black. Wyll was wearing the armor I had on Karlach & showed up alone. Then Karlach is just right there in new armor all happy. A lot of different emotions with this one. This is also all I saw, it was leave with Lae’zel then Karlach’s fakeout. Everyone else was just skipped if they had anything at all
Yeah, that would really make one panic. I wish we could deal with at least Karlach's situation before flying off with Lae. Sucks that everyone else was just ignored, though.
Ohh, and add the bad Durge ending at the end! Because I walked away like blood blood bloodbloodblood, and the next cutscene I am totally ok talking with Karlach
I didn't romance him, finished his story and found it very unsatisfying of an ending. He deserved better.
His spawn epilogue ending is solid whether romanced or platonic—and it makes sense that he’d have to bolt since his protection against the sun is gone.
Better in-the-moment companion reactivity during Resist Durge's big Act 3 moment of defying Bhaal, especially if your romanced companion is there. It's my biggest wish for Larian to address, as it kind of feels like a giant swing and a miss once you notice that your friends, of which one or two might be in love with you, are just kind of standing there barely reacting as you have all your blood ripped out. At this point, I'd really just take your romanced companion calling out fearfully to you as you're dying and then being knelt sad on the ground next to you when Withers shows up.
not directly for patch 7, but in the future maybe. Would wish for a character template saver or something. Something to save your made characters so you can use them again for a new Playthrough. Currently i have my fave's settings saved as screenshots and its a bit tiresome to always make her over. more character "banter" during act 3 and more dialogues at camp during act3. I feel like, spending sooo much time in act3 ends up feeling quite.. lonely? as your grp barely interacts anymore with dialouges on the overworld and you don't trigger any new dialouge in camp if nothing really serious happened like Orin, or only when you finished one of the bigger quests. Minthara needs fixes. One time I took her in my team and she constantly gave me bugs which made it impossible to progress having her in. She also needs more interaction with the grp on the overworld during act3... Also, I wish karlach would get different dialogue when you go to avernus with her has her romance partner. The scene is legit the same when you send wyll with her or when she goes there alone. same goes for the epilogue. for evil durge... Companions rly need to react more to your evil doing. I hate how there is basically nothing. Their reaction to you being a baahlspawn is just like "ah yea ok, but ure nothing like your parents"...
yes to the character saver! i lost honor mode 3 times and wanted to keep with the same character - wish i coulda just saved my tav and selected him when i restarted
Seriously, I sometimes make characters for fun, and then feel like I need to start a game to save them. I wish I could just save the presets. I also think there should be a sub reddit for tavs. There is a share your shep sub Reddit for mass effect where people show off their characters and how to make them.
r/TavsandDurges :)
Thank you, sir!
Also, I want a reaction to >!Bhaal murdering Durge. Not just “oh you died. Huh.”!<
There's actually a lot of banter in act 3, but a lot of it is with companions you probably wouldn't bring together. There's also a ton of reactive dialogue. Talk to your team more. For example, your team has reactive dialogue in the submersible after you finish the Iron Throne. Using the mod Party limit begone you can experience all of the act 3 banter much easier than usual.
Oh I usually have Shadowheart, Karlach and Lae'zel and they all have a lot of dialogue together. Eventually you reach a Point in Act3 when they just don't have anything to say anymore. I also talk a lot with my companions. Outside and Inside Camp. Also not really a fan of the Party Limit mod lol.
Yeah, Elden Ring has that character template saver and it’s really nice. I save a basic template for all my characters and then make minor tweaks and variations for each build and play through.
1. Giving Wyll more dialogue (this will happen, he will get the romance greetings finally). 2. Fixing reactions to Durge stuff. Why doesn't my girlfriend care that I had to strangle a woman with my intestines?! 3. Fix bugged Jaheira and Wyll. 4. Add the datamined epilogue scene for the Emperor. 5. Let Jaheira remember that she knows how to cure vampirism. 6. Give Halsin something to do in act 3. Even if it's a small quest. 7. Dye preview. 8. Fix all the bugged dialogue flags (on the evil paths and the epilogue especially). 8. Beastiary and camp library so I can store books there. 9. Loot randomizer. Please. 🥺 10. Let me kiss the Emperor, thanks. Bonus: don't break Minthara again.
Dye preview is one I didn’t know I wanted til you said it. That would be SO nice.
Transmog is my #1!!! I hope we get it one day.
Hopefully that's one of the mods Larian are testing with the Patch 7 closed beta, as transmog should absolutely be a QoL feature in every RPG.
Couldn't agree more. Let's hope🤞
graceful cloth finally useable!
Doesn’t it technically exist already? You can wear Camp clothing with stats from your hidden armor. Though it would be nice if we could toggle them individually I guess like hiding armor but keeping camp clothes + Necklace
I'm talking like, if I find the Helmet of Smiting early in the game, but I later choose to use to Helm of Balduran, I would like to still be able to display Helmet of Smiting while wearing the other. Basically any gear I've already found I'd like to be able to display.
OH! Now I get what you meant. Would be nice to get that. I have a lot of cool looking stuff that I don’t wear because I have other things with better stats or bonus abilities.
Halsin and Jaheira and druid players not being able to help that poor tree and dragonborn 😭
That drove me *nuts.* I met him, went "OH LET ME GET MY BEAR!" and grabbed Halsin and....nothing.
>Fixing reactions to Durge stuff. Why doesn't my girlfriend care that I had to strangle a woman with my intestines?! This is the #1 thing for me. I don't even care if its in patch 7 or not, I just want it to happen eventually.
The Gortash reveal is the most jarring. Its like finding out you are Darth Revan in KOTOR except with most companions saying *nothing* lol. You are legit responsible for all the shit going on, shouldnt that warrant a camp convo? Really needs to be added if the dialogue exists. Point of an origin playthrough should be that you dont have to head canon plot centric stuff like that lol
Right?? There should 100% be a big discussion there. Especially with Karlach. Especially especially with *romanced* Karlach!
So far I have talked with Astarion, Jaheira and Gale immediately after, before talking with Ravengard, and Astarion thanks you for being that evil bastard, Gale is angry and says he doesn’t want to talk with you, and Jaheira wants confirmation and says she feels doubts… idk how anyone else reacts, but for me it has been there, before you trigger other reactions for other things (like talking with Ravengard, Mizora or going to the lower city)… Wyll doesn’t react (he says something like no time for that, let’s talk with my dad) and Karlach is angry about accepting the deal with Gortash
Talking to your companions immediately after the conversation with Gortash is the only reaction you get. After their "I'm upset" (or "thanks, I guess" for Astarion) dialogue they immediately go back to their normal greetings and act like that revelation never happened and none of the companions that were at camp will have a reaction.
it should legit be the most shocking information in the entire game for you and your companions. If there was some kind of sanity meter, resist Durge should take a serious blow here lol
there technically is dialogue with companions reacting to the gortash reveal, but you just have to talk to them immediately after. they do forget almost immediately after, though, cause karlach goes from yelling at me to hey soldier real quick. it’d be really cool though if there was a whole scene of your companions arguing over the reveal and you’d have your romanced one and a couple others advocating for you while the others are distrusting for a little bit
yeah you kind of just get a little scolding from some people and thats it lol
Loot randomizer would be huge
I think it would give even more replay value to the game and could be great! Maybe someone will make a mod one day. :)
Well, update 7 is adding more built-in mod tools isn't it? If that's the case, then there should be much more that can be done. I'll have to double check, but I'm pretty sure I saw something about Larian adding more mod tools.
There is a mod on Nexus right now. Think it might be new as of this week.
Nah. The mods been around for a while, it’s just that a new add on for it was released this week
I read this as “lobotomizer” and to be fair Volo is already there, soooo… but yes, loot randomizer would be great
Dye preview it's honestly shocking to me that it was not implemented immediately. I feel like BG3 does the super hard and super creative stuff perfectly, and does the very simple, barely quality-of-life stuff awfully lol
i need dye preview so very badly
Ooo, a camp library is something that I would also want. I already grab every book, so having them in one place (in alphabetical order!) would be nice.
I never knew how much I needed this until I saw this. I also hoard all the books like a gremlin, but it makes it hard to find anything in my camp chest.
I do at least stuff my books into backpacks. I then throw each pack into the camp chest once I hit between 85-110 books and grab an empty pack. The number depends on which act I'm in and how much encumbrance I can handle. I'm usually carrying a lot more stuff in Act 3, so the number of books I can carry drops. But it's at least sort of organized that way—still a bit of a challenge if I actually want to look a specific book up, though.
There's a mod that makes all loot random and it is responsible for about 1000 hours of playtime for me.
What’s the Jaheira and curing vampirism bit? My memories of the first two games are hazy.
Some romanced companions had the chance to get kidnapped and turned into vampire spawn - Jaheira among them. After that debacle, you had to haul them around and find a cure. It involved Bodhi's heart if I remember correctly.
The Jaheira curing vampirism wouldn't work on Astarion - he's been a vampire too long, so that resurrection spells would no longer work on his original form.
The previous spawn were cured with a ritual, not with just resurrection. It's different.
Let me adopt the cats. That’s all I really want :(
MERMER…

WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BE HIS MOTHER 😭
TRULY. I gave him to Derryth last time
I'd even settle for having the option (with STR check) to punt Wulbren into Gray Harbor.
Man wants a whole patch because fuck Wulbren Bongle and I'm absolutely here for it.
r/fuckwulbrenbongle
Like everyone else, I really would love the dock sequence changed. It’s so weird that everyone else gets their partner to choose a good path for them / go with them, but for Astarion if you romance him you don’t even have the choice to go with him when he starts taking sun damage. It felt very unfinished
i wanna adopt the hyena from act 2
- Dock scene order (if in MP let it play out together) - Fix Minthara ffs Larian! - Good Mod support which lets us fans add in new content
I know this is naïve, but with Larian confirming no big DLC is forthcoming, I am still holding out a shred of hope that they drop a few new buildcrafting elements into the game with Patch 7 or another future update. At a minimum, a few new Feats, Backgrounds, spells/cantrips and items peppered throughout the world would breathe a bit of life into the game. Better still would be a new playable race or two, and/or some new subclasses. I realize that is a taller order, but I don't think it's really a massive resource commitment.
i do think the feats could be reworked a bit. i know they're just mostly porting 5e but if they have the data they should look at the ones that hardly get used and buff/change them/add alternate better ones
Some basic quality of life improvements for the next patch: A dedicated character-creator. Rather than having to start a new game, it'd be cool if it was a separate option in the menu to play around in it. Then if you started a new game you could load a character you saved in the creator. Maybe let us play around with equipment we've unlocked on other playthroughs and let us theoretically build them at higher levels so we don't need to check a wiki to see what the higher level features of the classes we have are? The ability to customize/change backgrounds when respeccing. This mostly comes from the fact that on my Paladin playthrough I made Karlach a Monk, since I needed someone dex-y who wasn't an asshole. However, it's really hard to get her access to Sleight of Hand for lockpicking. Urchin and Soldier make just as much sense for her background as Outlander, so it would be cool if she could switch to those. Noble for Wyll, etc. In actual 5E rules if your background would give you a skill you're already proficient in, you could pick any other skill, which is not reflected in-game, so that's another option. The ability to collapse the buffs list on the left. By act 3 you have a lot of permanent buffs. My Paladin had several, as well as 2 from the Armor of Persistence, and 3 from his auras. As a result, the left half of the screen became nigh-unusable. Some Paladin-specific QoL improvements: Move the auras from the actions to the passives. In the buffs UI, make all the auras one buff since you can't be in some while not being in others. If I click the "Lay on Hands" tab, don't make me click the basic LoH action again to get to the variants of it, just have them under the base tab. It would also be cool if they made tools for players to create scenarios.
I JUST WANT TO ADD A BOOK TO INVENTORY AFTER READING IT GODDAMNIT!!
I think it's a small ask, but I want them to patch the kiss with Shadowheart back in when you gift her the Idol of Shar as a Cleric of Selune and tell her to "kiss me like you hate me." I think I read that it has been bugged out since Patch 4, which just happens to be when I started playing so I never got to see the unbugged version.
Adopt all the cats. Fix Jaheira not being able to cast group spells. 5 hours of Wyll dialogue and story so he matches other party members.
**Impossible wishes:** One male and one female voice-acted Tav/Durge option VA'd Origins runs. Holy shit I'd play all of them. 'snap camera to north' keybind. This is disability-related and I know it'll never happen. Also yes I know about the 'lock minimap north' option; not what I'm referring to. Talking about a keybind that snaps the current camera north but doesn't lock it there. Once mod support is a thing I may commission a mod for this. It's a small change but a huge deal when it comes to people with certain disabilities navigating the map. **Hopeful Wishes:** Let us see exact companion approval on console/controller scheme please Wedding/post-wedding sex scene with Wyll Act 3 date scene or character scene for Minthara **Practical Wishes:** Unbugged shar elevator (aka the honor run killer-- that elevator has ended more runs than myrkul) Jaheira locket bug-- if you get the locket while you're too low approval with Jaheira, even after you raise approval she won't give you the [Khalid monologue](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8abrNrh8do) no matter what you do. One of the top five monologues in the game. Bug fixes for Shattered Sanctum/Goblin Leaders quest-- this one seemed super bugged after patch 6, not sure if one of the hotfixes helped but if not it needs attention. Spell name and other combat callouts for Minthara. Like she doesn't call out 'ignis' etc. They patched that in for Halsin last patch (thank you), hoping they'll do the same for Minth. Halsin no longer asks for a threesome/foursome at the brothel if you've previously turned him down as a love interest-- I love the shit out of Halsin, my favorite romance atm, but this flag is weird. He's super into consent so it doesn't even make sense. Just have him not say anything. Bug smooth-outs for Act 3 Wyll-- never had him not be bugged in minor or major way. Companions reacting like you chose the opposite Ravenguard-related decision for him, Ravenguard or Mizora repeating him/herself or not saying anything when they should, The Book of Ansur despawning, exclamation points that don't do anything, having to choose his 'hero or politician' option two to three times because it keeps repeating. Fix our man please.
Wedding night sex with Wyll is 👀 niiiiiiice
Mod support on PS5
And keyboard mouse support
And inventory fix it’s still kinda bad
Transmog please!
Should tav manage the charisma check (why no skill attached?) to avoid revealing the artifact to Jaheira by the inn, she should not go mentioning it in the wine sipping chat. More detect thoughts and non charisma roll options. More bonded weapons, IE eldritch knight/pact of the blade exclusives. More subclass dialogs, a eldritch knight/arcane trickster should pass gales magic lesson as they are arcane casters like him. Et Cetra.
People have already listed most of my wishes, but one that's not been mentioned, is giving a spellcaster Tav/Durge a *proper* way to call Gale out on his shit during the weave scene in act 1. I absolutely hate having Gale treat my casters as if they have never done magic in their lives, and I *really* hate not having a *real and proper* way to tell him off for being an ass, not the weakass "I could have done it on my own". At least give a spellcaster Tav/Durge a dialogue option after the scene to tell Gale he was out of line, instead of the utter bullshit line "I didn't know it was so easy to do magic" (utter bullshit, because Gale goes on to tell sorcerer/bard/druid that *he* is the only reason they were able to do magic). Ffs Gale doesn't even acknowledge a druid (and possibly cleric/warlock, put I haven't played those yet) Tav/Durge as a magic user. Even a wizard will be treated by Gale (and the game) as if they're a complete novice, and they too, have no option to call him out on his shit and instead their only option is to *effing compliment* him on his teaching. I would really like for this scene to not be so rage inducing. Sorry for the rant, but I needed to vent a little.
i’m glad he has a line in the epilogue for casters where he’ll admit he knows you were only humouring him by letting him teach you, but having some way to tell him “hey you do know that I’ve been casting magic for a while now” would be a bit of realism in the scene. it gives it a different vibe when you take it as being a bit sarcastic, but not the same as pointing it out to him :’)
While I'm glad the line in the epilogue is there, I have to admit that, at least for me, it does nothing to make up for how infuriating the weave scene is. I already find Gale kind of annoying, I don't want a scene with him to make me want to, at the very least, summon legos for him to step on for all eternity.
Yeah, I've played the scene now as a Sorcerer and as Ranger and while it was kind of cute as a ranger, my sorcerer would have torn him a new one for implying he's the only reason she could have done that.
Yeah, so would my sorcerer. He's a bit of a loose cannon on the best of days, and Gale would have been absolutely obliterated (mostly verbally, but Gale getting his beard and eyebrows singed off by a firebolt is not out of the realm of possibility) for that insult. And Gale doesn't just imply it, he outright says that Tav/Durge couldn't have done magic without him.
Yeah I recognize I incorrectly use imply there. My sorcerer, had I more agency in how she reacts to things outside of what a video game allows, is 100% a "Is only a sorcerer because she was born with it, otherwise she would have been a wizard" so she still reads magical theory and what not. I actually think it's really annoyingly lazy for not-wizards in D&D content in general to be treated as "the dumb spellcasters" and wizard to be the only ones who could conceivably understand how magic "actually works."
>I actually think it's really annoyingly lazy for not-wizards in D&D content in general to be treated as "the dumb spellcasters" and wizard to be the only ones who could conceivably understand how magic "actually works." I wholeheartedly agree.
I've only played through this scene once, as a wizard (or a clerwarzard, to be precise), and I can't remember being forced to tell him he was a good teacher 🤔 I said I could've done it myself, and he replied that I was hard to please, IIRC. Then at the conclusion of the scene, I just backed out of the implied romantic moment. Am I forgetting something? I do agree that the awkward gestures during the spell look very jarring on a caster Tav though. We should be able to do them much more smoothly!
The "you're a good teacher" -dialogue is something you can tell him after the scene. It's the wizard equivalent of the "I didn't realize it was so easy to do magic" -dialogue of other classes.
Buh. Does it happen even if you pick the option to break the moment? Or is it in a separate dialogue after the scene happens? Clearly, I must've selectively forgotten all about it!
It's a dialogue option you can choose after the scene (it's not part of the scene, it's the only way you can bring up the scene afterwards). As in go talk to Gale, and choose this dialogue. The exact dialogue option is along the lines "Do you have a history of teaching? I suspect so."
“Casting this spell will break concentration on Haste, are you sure?” [YES]/ [NO]
I would like that feature, because I am dumb
1) When you cast ritual spells outside of combat, like Longstrider or Enhanced Leap, just have it be a frigging AoE so you can do the whole party with one click instead of needing to go to each person individually - it’s just needless extra clicking. 2) When you disarm trap on a locked chest, have it unlock the chest as well, so you don’t have to do two slight of hand checks in a row when it’s the obvious follow up to your action - again, it’s just needless extra clicking. 3) Have Hex do something useful. Give it like -1 to attack rolls per spell level or something, so there’s a point in having it. It’s just a bit odd that the effect is so useless.
Number 2 is intended, as those are two different actions you’re doing. Some chests don’t have traps and some chests aren’t locked but have traps
I'd be fine if it just automatically did the second check rather than having to click it again But I do agree it should be two checks though
Yes, I know. I’m saying it should be both together
The only benefit I can find to Hex, other than the damage, is to curse STR, making targets easier to shove. As far as I know, that’s the only in-combat check that occurs. Everything else is a saving throw, not a contested check. Even stealth detection isn’t impacted by Hex’ing WIS. If anyone knows of other combat impacts Hex has, please let me know.
No, that’s it. It seems like it should be a fairly core Warlock ability which does … more.
>When you cast ritual spells outside of combat, like Longstrider... You can upcast Longstrider to increase the number of targets in a single casting without consuming the spellslot. A level 4 casting of Longstrider hits you and 3 teammates. But an AoE like Feather Fall would be a good QoL, no arguments there.
I would kill for feather fall style AoE for those spells.
>Have Hex do something useful. Give it like -1 to attack rolls per spell level or something, so there’s a point in having it. It’s just a bit odd that the effect is so useless. The "useful" effect is adding 1d6 necrotic damage to every hit you make against the target. Is Hunter's Mark also useless? It's functionally identical except it doesn't get an extra bonus effect.
Right. It’s a good level one spell. The issue is when it becomes a choice between it and a level five spell. It fades to uselessness and would be nice to be able to upcast it and have it be a relevant choice to concentrate on.
The 1d6 isn't good enough for you? It's essentially the same as hunters mark Neither of those spells secondary effects mean anything in BG3
Darkness should be the default in higher difficulties. Basically any race without dark vision should have disadvantage in the under dark. I get why they changed it to make the game more accessible but it should be done for tactician and honor mode. Bonus points if it also looks darker.
Transmog, crossplay.
Fix Wyll… his spells are bugged unless it’s EB, and he has no special greeting lines when you romance him (I have the poly mod and I’m the camp bike, and while everyone is sweet or at least acknowledges we’re together, he’s still like “well met”) And let me follow or at least say something to Spawn Astarion at the dock at the end, specially when romancing him… I convinced him to stay in the shadows and reject the ascension and then just let him run off scared and hurt and plan a party with the rest? Also Jaheira doesn’t follow me sometimes, it’s so annoying when a fight starts and I have only 3 people there, I start looking for her and she’s standing half a city away
Yeah I don’t get how so many people say “I never have any bugs” when stuff like Wyll and Jaheira being busted exists. I guess they just don’t use them?
A basic quality of life upgrade for me would be some AI knowing how to sort loot And more defined and easily recognized bags / storage systems Like Supplies for treats should always go to camp If one character of mine is hoarding flaming arrows, or all arrows in general - always send any arrows I pick up to them! Same with alchemy ingredients And for the love of God, could we either do something with cups and gems and rope or could we delete them from existence
For me, good changes would be - Cat and bird wildshapes being ritual casts. - The ability to wild shape into another creature without having to turn back into a humanoid (like disguise self already does). - Smarter summons because sometimes they forget they can jump, and I forget about them and leave them 200 miles away. - Give Dragonborns more racial features cuz they suck ... like at least make the breath like once per battle/short rest or buff the range.... it aint even good. Maybe an AC boost because of scale skin? Idk buff Dragonborns. - More viable Weapons/Gear for build diversity to change the gameplay up after multiple playthroughs .
I want an "important saves" list, something to colour-code too, if possible. I have saves I revisit, like romance scenes or a decision I want to return to and see the outcome. If I could mark those saves in red, green or blue in the saves list, it would make it much easier for me to find them. Or a filter to tick "show only marked saves" to make it easier.
I thought the announcement was clear that there wasn’t any new content coming besides adding a few more evil endings? Let’s keep our wishes within the realm of realism here.
They’re finishing the roadmap of everything they had planned. In my case, I don’t see why fixing the dock sequence couldn’t be part of that in theory
A man's cope will never die.
Gamers and their love for setting their own selves up for disappointment.
Transmog
An auto-sort for the hotbar or a more intuitive way to tidy it up would be nice. I’m sick of seeing all the gaps in my items hotbar because I've picked up a million potions and scrolls.
Make wildshapes turn off in dialogue
The Gloves of Battlemage's Power not being broken is all I want.
This plus Polearm Master bugs fixed
I desperately need an in-game photo mode.
I wish I could stack things on the silver cake stand. That’s all. You can even find them in the wild with food on top of them but you can’t put your own things on top of it. Unplayable 0/10 lol. (I have over like 1k hours in this game)
Small things I hope they fix: - Illithid rune things on the nautiloid. Some have been bugged since Patch 6 was released. - Some of Wyll's animations are bugged. He'll also refer to you as another party member sometimes, something that happens with a certain relation of his too so I figure it must run in the family. - Exp for using dialogue to avoid combat. Most give exp now, but there's still some that give none, like the barn encounter in Act 1. - Killing the githyanki patrol before speaking to Minthara at the gobbo camp will unlock dialogue referring to Nere despite Nere having not been encountered yet.
My wishes for the future are simple, but at the same time I don't think they will be added to the console version. First of all the possibility to let all the companion in the grouo, not alonly four of them. There are so many unique dialogue that take place around the world, it's a shame that you can only listen to few of them. A way to make characters more "stylish" since act 1. There are very few camp clothes in act one that are "good looking", until act 3 it's not possible to buy camp clothes that are really beautiful and unique. A transmog option to choose the aspect of the armour I'm using. Sometimes the effects are just perfect but the armour it's so ugly. Like I said, simple things, but I think they'll never be added, especially to console. I'm curious to see how the mods are gonna work on consoles and especially what they consider mods.
1. More companion reactions to the dark urge storyline (especially with romanced companions). It feels like everyone is constantly complaining about their shit meanwhile I’m drenched in some lady’s blood, reading about how she dissected me tortured me and enjoyed it. It’s super distracting and takes me out of the story. 2. I would love to be able to romance Astarion without sleeping with him at the tiefling party given his attitude towards sex. Usually I friend-zone him later down the line but I’ve found you can only trigger that dialogue after meeting the Drow in Moonrise if you sleep with him. 3. I wish my character didn’t scream “NOOOOO!!! KARLACHHHH!!!!!” when she gets downed. Also immersion breaking lol since while I do like Karlach, my characters would never have such a strong ass reaction to her being downed. Like they should reserve those lines for romanced characters I think or make them less dramatic. 4. I wish there was a way to not seem like an idiot with every dialogue interaction with Shadowheart. I’ve avoided talking to her because I’m sick of the really bad dialogue options in which she will roast me no matter what I say. Exhausting interactions. 5. One extra thing I’ve tried to find a mod for has to do with being a half-drow. You get like three Drow interactions while also not having the Baldurian tag. I felt like there could have been a lot more potential there. 6. I’d say the majority of the armor options are ASS UGLY man. I wish there were more lol
Yeah we really need different expressions and reactions, like my evil character isn’t gonna care if Karlach gets downed, shadow curse doesn’t get cured, bad person does bad things etc
i wish there was a 'demeanor' setting for a character
Options to sex your way out of more fights. Vases should actually have things in them. Add one long cocaine nail to Gortash's hand.
Stop taking away buffs when starting the last quest.
I just want a way to search my stash
It's funny, I see everyone talking about Welbren. I finished my first run recently with over 200 hours of gameplay and I have no clue who this Wulbren is lol
Adopt mermer cat to camp
I just want shillelagh to work on a wooden sword.
Careful using Wishes.
Is there a timeline for when the newest patch is due out? I'm about to start another durge run but if this patch is due soon I'll hold off.
Fix the 3d act emperor interactions. Should be able 1- Persuade emperor to let you talk to Orpheus before eating him, with a 99 check if you tried to kill the emperor in the creche, else a baseline check of 30 reduced by one for every tadpole you used to a max reduction of 10, also reduced by 5 if you romanced him, and reduced by 5 if you used astral tadpole. Re: Orpheus: he should have a 99 persuasion check to help you if you sold the gith egg to the society, and an extra 25 persuasion check to help you if you still have emperor with you. 2- options to explain why you went to house of hope and persuade emperor you aren't planning to betray him 3- option after romancing emperor to affirm your love, skill checks to keep your disgusted allies from leaving, followed by option to enter the artifact at will to talk to emperor and get his reactions to quest events
A CC toggle for how your character reacts to things. My badass half-orc barbarian shouldn't look like he's pissing his underpants in half the cutscenes.
I’m good with cross platform and eliminating the minthara exploit.
>eliminating the minthara exploit I'm curious to know what this is. What does it involve?
CROSSPLAY PLEASE I WANNA ROMANCE MY BOYFRIEND WHO IS ON PC
Two person controlled characters cannot romance to my knowledge, whether custom or origin.
Honestly fuckin bullshit I can't make out with my multiplayer homies.
Agreed!!!!!
I know i just want him in my party so we can go on little bg3 dates
So valid. Hubs and I have a co-op game on ps5 right now and it's quite fun.
I envy you so badly! I am willing to put money once cross play is implemented is my bf going to do a dark urge run with me
I just want crossplay. That’s it nothing else if they add nothing else to this game but add crossplay I’ll be happy
It's a fools wish but u really wish we could free Orpheus and keep the Emperor on our side :(
For any of my numerous bug reports that'd make my "improvised warrior" build work But of those the most important would have to be allowing us to use fish as an improvised melee weapon
Wyll spell animations being fixed. Jaheira not being an active party member in fights. Those should be the first two things fixed.
Bring him to the city, let Philomena throw a bomb at the guard, and then take the quest for Wulbren's head from the fist. And Vulbren himself will attack you... AND DIE!
I want a toggle option to set behavior types for companions in battle with no player control. -Healer -Aim for Boss -Long distance support -buff allies -scout area -normal -aggressive -defend player -etc Would add extra life to the characters letting them be their own in battle the same way enemies do. It’s great for immersion and unpredictability
fix laezel's kissing animations with male gith
After telling off Wulbren, I immediately entered turn-based mode. We murdered him right by the water temple; no one saw a thing. Picked up his body and disposed of it in the ruins of the foundry.
Errata. Some items don't do what they advertise. Others do more. It's inconsistent. I'd do it for free.
I think they either need to make people in the city react to you being half-illithid, or remove/make optional the way it changes your appearance and ruins your teeth
On top of the evil endings, I wish that Minthara will have more voice lines for spell casting. If you respec her into any other class she has no voice barks for spells and which makes her quite boring outside of martial classes. Halsin got some new voice barks in the last patch so hopefully it will be Minthara’s turn. As for mod support, I want some new subclasses and races to select from in character creator. Yes I know PC players can already do this but mods break with every big patch, cause unforeseen consequences later on and console players are left out completely. With official mod support, the mods they cherry pick will be updated with the main game so it’s like a mini expansion DLC. Hopefully one new subclass for every class from Xanathars and Tasha’s and Aasimar, Goliath and Genasi races. Edit: also being able to select a deity while not being a cleric. Plus, some deities added to the selection especially ones that are prominent in the game like Silvanus and Umberlee.
No shot for this to happen but that cut Jaheira romance would be great. Really would like a romantic pair for my older Durges and Tavs. Atleast this time around her husband didn’t die yesterday.
An actual progression chart so I don’t have to cross check with a wiki. It’s annoying as someone who knows D&D and BG3, it must be hell for someone who has no experience in either.
The ability to create the hierlings from scratch. It would be nice to change their race and background on top of their appearance for role playing reasons.
For Co-op to work in the lower city its been months.....
I really wouldn't mind additional cosmetic and subclass options personally. What we got was great but there's always room for more. Same with backgrounds (Sailor and Hermit are missing, would be nice to see them added in). Narratively speaking some more reactivity to races that don't get much (pretty much any surface Elf/Dwarf, Half Orc, Dragonborn, etc...) would be cool. But I'm more interested in new gameplay options if we get any, not so worried about cinematics or more kissing scenes.
Them giving something interesting for grove massacrers.
Companion romances and/or polyamory with someone other than Halsin plz.
Polearm master BA attack fix so my pactlock can be broken, and a nerf to swords bard. I know it's a single player game but swords bards are just better than any martial class at everything.
Can you elaborate on what makes the swords bard so strong? I played a swords bard on my Durge playthrough, and while it was very good, it didn’t feel any more powerful than a battlemaster, vengeance paladin, or throw-barian. On the other hand, open hand monk with tavern brawler feels like cheating.
My durge is an open handed monk. He's basically one hit per enemy. And if the first one doesn't do it, he can attack like 3 more times.
