She doesn't want to risk getting killed by the party turning into mind flayers, so.... She just jumps into almost certain death by attacking 4 people? Idk what made her think she could realistically beat the entire party. Then some more wonky stuff can happen, like half of the party being stuck outside once she locks up the place.

My Tav ended up dying and after she opened the area, she attacked my remaining party previously stuck outside and nobody else gave a fuck that they're killing Nettie in public in broad daylight lmao All this because you don't approve of offing yourself btw. I'm not saying it's bad writing exactly, just very weird.

Whenever Astarion, Gale, or Wyll hit on me, it makes me really uncomfortable, and I'm like "Come on man, can't we just be bros? Why you gotta make it weird?" But when Halsin hits on me, its more like "No, I can't...not in front of the women..."

On my 5th playthrough I finally decided to give in and see what the Halsin sex scene was like. I'm just curious, I can always save beforehand and just reload. Pretend it didn't happen. But I'm watching it, and I'm like... I'm getting pretty hard right now.

But I'm not really attracted to men, never have been. And I love women. I think sexuality is just a lot more complicated than people want to pretend it is.

Every time I replay this game, I am weirded out by Minthara advocating for accepting Bhaal and Shar. The whole point is that she knows that gods are 'fickle', they can't be trusted, they discard their followers like broken toys. She hates Lolth now. And yet this girl is the only one companion who is disappointed that Shadowheart spared Aylin.

[Edit: I feel like a lot of people are just reading the title and not my madman ravings I get into after two sentences, or maybe it's being ignored deliberately :') ]

Bhaal tasked Durge with creating a dead world, being the last being alive and then killing themselves.

Bhaal gets his power from the acts of murder.

Hey actually in the middle of writing this post I did some research and I think I figured out my own question?

Durge is tasked with "slaughtering the whole world in Bhaal's name", which should refer to the planet Faerun is located on, Toril.

But apparently there's a whole space system in Dnd lore. Realmspace is the solar system (or Torilian System), which hold Toril alongside 7 other planets, all of them populated, though Toril is definitely the most dense one.

And then there's the rest of this realm (Prime Material Plane) which holds more systems, and then there is all the other realms with their own solar systems, planets and continents, so I guess plenty of murders to go around still.

Though this does contradict Bhaal's order of being "the last being alive", because there's quite the difference between being "the last being alive" and "the last being alive in this world". But I suppose he meant the latter then?

I do wonder how Durge would get rewarded if they were to complete this task, would they get a cushy afterlife? Does Bhaal even hold anything resembling a realm of his own anymore as a quasi-deity? In fact where does he live himself after the throne of blood got destroyed? I have more questions than what I started with :|

Honestly, getting to learn EVERY SINGLE SPELL is just so cool!!!!! Obviously I've played with the wizard class countless times, I mean, Gale exists lolll. But having my Tav actually be a wizard is completely different. For starters, the dialogue options are great and super fun. But the gameplay is also so cool!!! I just never really internalized that you can learn EVERY SCROLL EVER. Obviously I knew about it, but I never thought it was worth the gold tbh. And the whole "glass canon" thing is completely overriden by the Abjuration subclass. I've basically never taken damage since reaching level 5. A good armour of Agathys in the morning and I'm good. Also, the one level in warlock also gives me all the warlock dialogue which makes for a very compelling character. I'm enjoying this playthrough so much!! It's absolutely crazy how many ways there are to play the game. And conversations with Gale have this whole other dimension to them now. Honestly, it's actually a shame that wizard is the only class based on intelligence in the game. But aaaahhhh I love BG3 so much. The possibilities are almost literally endless

I just finished a battle in which Karlach happened to die, she was downed and I couldn’t reach her with healing before she died. Obviously when my Tav was done screaming I whipped out a scroll of revivify and brought her back. Reminded me once again how utterly preposterous it is to suggest that there’s simply nothing that can be done to save her from her engine combusting at the end, short of returning to Avernus. There is magic available that is strong enough to raise the dead, not just as undead but return them to the living. Scrolls of revivify are usable IN THE GAME, and other spells exist. You consort with gods in this game, ffs. Don’t sit there and tell me tHeRe’S jUsT nOtHiNg wE cAn Do tO sAvE hEr

I know there’s a couple points in the game where characters will explain that the gods don’t usually intervene directly, but given that beings with apostolic souls give gods their power/existence, it seems that stopping the Dark Urge from ending all life would be a reasonable red line for direct involvement

I’m well aware about being able to get the silver sword of the astral plane in act 1 if done correctly, if I do this, am I still able to get the voss sword as well? I don’t want to wait until act 3 but also know you can command drop it when he visits your camp. Question is, can I do both? Or does getting one locks you from the other
