I am having a read of this - a birthday prezzie to myself - while I wait for my daughter. I figure if I really want to understand why things happen the way they do in BG3 it would be good to have a better understanding of the D & D rules. I'm doing pretty well in this playthrough, but not knowing why is frustrating me. Maybe my next playthrough after this one will finally start to make sense

I haven’t been engrossed by a game like #ClairObscur for a long time. It’s so good!
It’s probably happened only thrice over the last ten years, #BG3 and #Witcher3 being the other two.
My friend is playing BG3 for the first time and is loving it.
Her favourite so far are Karlach and Astarian.
The harpies song is stuck in her head.
I had a dream about Drows last night. I’m in too deep.

A little shameless plug for my friends @tieflingdio and @VulpineDruid who are creating an amazing guide to #BaldursGate3 Honour Mode.
They're legit Faerun heroes with four successful HM runs, and a fifth in progress.
Even if you're not planning an HM run anytime soon, this is a really fun (and helpful) read.

Haven't played bg3 since I got Oblivion, but my wife wanted to play a bit tonight. This whole section was pretty weird and confusing. And even though I said No every way I could to my "protector's" offer, I guess no does not mean no in this game.
Whatever. Here's my first stab at photo mode.
New #GPU! From an 8 year old rx570 8GB to a #rx9070, on #Ubuntu 25.04. Mostly great!
A local #LLM (qwen2.5 14B) using Vulkan ran at 2.1 tokens/s. It now runs at 48T/s - a 25x improvement in compute performance.
The same scene in #BG3 with maxed out 4K settings ran at 12-15fps. It now sits at 60fps, with the GPU at only 80%. *And* it uses less power doing so (system power from 295w to 275w).
Not perfect - #Valheim fails at startup. This is normal for new hardware on Linux and will be fixed.
I haven't finished Baulder's Gate 3 , but someone please tell me there is a DLC option at the end, after I save the world or whatever, that would allow me to open a used book store in town I can stock with all the books I picked up through the game.
Truths for both Life & Honor Mode:
- Once you say it, it is said.
- Mistakes will be made. How you recover from them is what's important.
- Every moment may be your last. Don't compromise your soul to 'win.'
- Risks can be fun! Or deadly. Or both.
- Just kiss them already, omfg.

I've now spent over 100 hours in BG3 and I am still in Act I To be fair, the first 80 odd hours of that were spent on my first play through, when I didn't have a clue what I was doing and recently abandoned to start again, but it was a good learning experience all the same. When things finally started to click and make sense was the battle with Aunty Ethel I think - the first one I really managed strategically - but by that time I had levelled up my crew pretty badly so the decision to start again was a good one. I have also started playing Divinity Original Sin II, which I had tried and abandoned before, and found that the lessons from BG3 really make the game work for me now.
Seriously, I'll never finish another run of #BG3 again, because I'll spend half my time playing with the photo mode
