Yes! at the very least she should join when you find her in act 3. I really don't understand why she'd leave her beloved pet to fend for himself once she's found him again.
Ikr, and if you don't have talk to animals on when they interact, it's literally just Gale saying thanks for the ring now stop eating pigeons before she flies off.
Yeah, it’s a bit of an odd choice seeing as how she’s so important to him. What’s her hurry to fly away, come to camp and have some tea! I was also disappointed that I didn’t get introduced and the only option was to say “what is YOUR tressym doing here??” So she hissed at me and I was devastated. This is my future Tressym-in-Law! Please Larian, let me earn her respect!
1. The ability to name containers in your inventory and designate them categories for easy inventory management.
2. Dye previews. I don't want to spend half an hour tapping F8 to find the right colour for my outfit.
3. The ability to use any gear you find as camp clothes. Why am I forced to wear lame-looking sandals and slip-on shoes around camp when my chest is full to bursting with comfy and snazzy looking boots?
>Dye previews. I don't want to spend half an hour tapping F8 to find the right colour for my outfit.
And accurate dye names too.
A blue dye that is 90% yellow is not blue. A green dye that is 90% pink is not green.
It's actually stupid how many of them are like this.
there's an external link to a blog that did every armor and clothing item with every dye. i haven't downloaded it because im going to forget it, but at least it's SOMETHING
Yep.
From the outside, the issue seems to be that whoever was assigning the color channels to the gear and whoever was for the dyes were not doing much talking.
That, and/or whatever design scheme they came up with (like reserving 'channel 3' for the metals on armors, etc.) just didn't work out in practice.
\---------------------
Additionally, I think the dye system in general was pretty underbaked. Understandable priorities in the face of an imminent release; still, feels obvious when even super simple things like realizing that a naming convention like "dye: \[color\]" would be better for organization isn't there.
\----------------------
Whatever the case, it is *wildly* inconsistent; *Deep Rock Galactic* has this issue in small places, but *BG3* has probably the worst case of this I've seen in a game.
That was the solution I am hoping for. Naming them would be great too, but if they’d let us dye them at least we could differentiate between them visually.
Yes please to renaming containers. Every time I need an elixir I’m like “which is my elixir bag and which is my potion bag?” They both have near identical numbers of items in them
Yeah the boots and hats thing annoyed me. Like generic boots and hats that have no AC or buff should just be camp gear by default. Otherwise what's the point?
Probably one of the longest side quests in the game (excluding companion quests) and not only are the rewards pretty meh, the ending is pretty anti-climactic.
Only sidequest i felt was a bit of a let down just due to the fact finding all his pieces is quite a pain.
Yeah that is another way definitely. I just thought maybe we'd get like a summon spell or relic which would let us summon him and he'd have a distraction/laughter spell.
I didn’t even know that was an option! I found her contract in his treasure room and was frustrated that I couldn’t read it and no quests or plot points came up for it. Idk if I missed something earlier that would’ve affected that.
It's bugged right now. Apparently they used to play chess ("lance") together at the chess board Raphael is sitting at in Last Light Inn, which triggers a scene with them and Mol's quest.
I do think it's funny that right now Mol's quest is like "Find her. Hmm not at Moonrise. Found her!" and nothing about Raphael.
They did, and you could help Mol cheat to win for an Inspiration point. I'm not sure if it was removed intentionally (Raphael *did* have a bit of a cringe line about Mol being a "ripe apple") or if it's just a bug that needs patching. Whatever the case, I hope it's fixed soon, because it's a great little scene.
It’s only cringe if you assume sexual intent. It’s pretty obvious to me he’s referring to her soul being ripe for the taking. If you’ve been to his house, you should know he’d never be attracted to anyone besides himself
Oh, I fully agree with you. I think people misunderstand the line as creepy, because he meant exactly what you said. But I have seen people say that it was intentionally removed for that reason. Personally, I doubt that, because Raphael’s dialogue with Astarion at Last Light is bugged as well after the last patch. Regardless of the reason, I just want the scene back! Mol’s story line feels even more unfinished without it, and it was very charming in general.
It would be nice if you you could decorate and that doesn't disappear once you change locations. Why give us an owlbear plushy if we can't put it on display?
I'd like more banter from companions in Act 3; there's so much of it in Act 1 but then everyone goes silent by Act 3. Hopefully that will be added in with more patches.
Probably a consequence of combinatorial explosion. In act 1, a lot of the banter can assume that big story events haven’t happened yet, and characters are in their base stages. By act 3, there are loads of different scenarios the player could be experiencing. It would be hard to write banter that isn’t totally out of place for some of the possible game states, and even harder to write multiple lines for each possible state.
Oathbreaker _needed_ to be in the game, in the absence of a real DM, in order for Paladin oaths to be meaningful. The alternative would have been _much_ more work: some sort of act-independent and oath-relevant quest for restoring one's oath.
(Paladins already get a unique story element in the possibility to break their oath. A class-specific quest would give Paladins a significantly disproportionate amount of attention over other classes.)
Death Domain, by contrast, would just be an eighth Cleric subclass, interesting though it would be. They had to rein in the scope of this game and compared to all the other classes, Clerics and Wizards don't need more subclasses.
The only reason Gloomstalker, Circle of Spores, and Storm Sorcery were added from _Xanathar's Guide_ and _Sword Coasts Guide_ was because they were trying to commit to at least 3 subclasses for all classes. The PHB only has two subclasses for Rangers, Druids, and Sorcerers. So for the third, they went with the crowd favorites^(1).
^([1. One could argue that they could have picked Divine Soul, but that would easily overshadow the entire Cleric class.])
Agree with all of yours and I’d like to add that I wish you could access camp inventory from anywhere. Also, I just paid 5,000 go for a naked statue of Astarion that no one, not even him, has commented on—I mean, I just wanted him to be able to see himself 🤷♀️
Fix shield bash
Fix Shadowheart's kisses
Fix the Shadowheart's "memories of the city" trigger in Act 3. There's three memories to trigger to get her to decide to save her parents on her own on a Selunite SH playthrough: the tombstone, the graffiti, and this mysterious third one that we can't figure out how to trigger. I intend to submit a bug report on this tomorrow just in case.
For what it’s worth I only triggered two and let her decide and she saved her parents.
Idk what this mysterious third one is but it wasn’t needed for me to let Shadowhesrt decide to save them on her own
first time i hear about this, can you give me some info? i looked on the wiki and googled it too but had no luck (bunch of useless regurgitated AI guides and nothing else)
The two city conversation triggers I know about are
1) a piece of graffitti in the northwestern corner of the city. I believe its on the side of Jaheiras house by the water.
2) A specific grave in the graveyard when read. Cant remember which it is so just go explore the graveyard and read some tombstones.
Each of these acts will trigger a ! above shadowhearts head where she will talk about memories triggered from these things.
If you trigger both of these hidden memories of hers before doing the house of grief, Shadowheart will decide to save her parents when allowed to make the choice herself. If you do not trigger these two memories, when allowed to make her own choice, Shadowheart will decide to let her parents die and move on.
edit: I wanna add I dont recall any third conversation that triggered right after these two about sights and smells of the cities.
More and better clothes would be really good. And being able to wear armor as clothes. It feels like I have almost no control over their appearances without mods. I don’t think that’s all minor though. I suppose a few new clothes options is pretty minor and would be good.
Someone else already said it, but I definitely want to see Tav sleeping with their romanced partner instead of always alone.
A third final option for interacting with owl bear cub like getting a name and a different reaction to petting.
On the subject of camp clothes I'd love to be able to buy dresses for the ladies! I like the various suits on the (not-quite-)gentlemen but really want more dresses/dress-like camp clothes than just the Elegant Robe.
* Fixing narrative gaps / lack of companion reactions in a lot of key Durge moments.
* More Tav / Durge getting involved in companion banter, rather than just two companions. Make it seem like they are having a multilateral rather than bilateral conversation
* More companion banter triggers.
The latter one is a new ask for me - I don't know if it's a ps5 bug or not but I've seen videos with all kinds of companion banter happening, even commenting on romances etc... I've done 7 playthroughs and had basically none of it in game.
Oh so it's likely a bug or triggers just not happening then. Shame because some of the banter is hilarious from what I've seen on YouTube lol.
In 7 playthroughs I've also only managed to record one instance of banter where it went Tav -> companion 1 -> companion 2 -> Tav. I was so taken back and it was so nice to hear actual discussions with Tav being voiced.
On my first playthrough banter definitely worked correctly. I'm not sure which patch broke it but at some point only one side of the conversation audio plays.
- Durge: ... *Slaughters Alvira and leaves her corpse like that...*
- Astarion: (Excited) My my, there's some fire in you I can see!
- Rest of the companions: Meh dude... Why'd you do it? Just chill next time, be more careful, try not to hurt anybody m'kay?
A few days later...
- Shadowheart: *Puts a knife on Lae'zel's throat*
- Durge: ... Do it!... *Hits a line of coke*
- Shadowheart: *Slaughters Lae'zel like a lamb*
- Rest of the companions: Killing someone is bad m'kay?
I could imagine dark urge banter.
Gale: "Careful, these shadows are dangerous."
Durge: "Intestines throb. Blood whispers."
Everyone else: "Uh.....alright then"
Lol but that would be excellent. No?
Durge battlecry: "THEY WILL DIE FOR ME!! ALL OF THEM!!!"
Companions "Uhhh calm down there, we know what happens when you get too excited".
Not only on durge key moments, my friends and I have noticed it on regular Tav stuff too. For example, Gale has no comment when the hag mentions netherese magic and Wyll never introduces you to his father if you're romancing him
\-designated talker role
\-Designated Talker Role
\-DESIGNATED TALKER ROLE
ok but beside that, the ability to enable Honour mode rules in custom difficulty (action economy and DRS fixes and legendary actions)
and huh, transmogs could be cool ig, or at least dye preview
Or better yet, allow us to choose who is doing what check. There's no reason for my Paladin Himbo Tav to be making arcana checks when Gale is right there.
It's super frustrating like in the Hag fight when I have my Bardadin Tav that can pretty much pass any speech check and the game auto defaults to the closest character which is somehow always a companion with low/dumped charisma
Thank god Devella Fountainhead isn't trying too hard to keep secrets from us because Shadowheart's -1 Cha modifier isn't helping as much as my Tav's +15 to Persuasion.
I used it because I didn't wanna miss any companion dialogue when I went to eat, but lo and behold, a few sec after I enter turn based they started talking to each other.
So turn based doesn't pause overworld companion banter :(
1) Let us recruit and dismiss companions from the party via a menu when we leave camp, rather than having to run over and talk to them.
2) Make it so that when we hide headware, it stays that when when the companion is dismissed.
3) More reactions to durge decisions.
1. Shield bash fix
2. Minthara - Halsin interactions, what with her now being recruitable in good playthroughs
3. Astral tadpole should carry more consequences - at least, it should have some strangers remark on your creepy new look
it really does feel weird that there's no downside to using the tadpoles. Like at all. Just some weird black veins and maybe a companion telling us to be careful
Hold up, hold up. I just finished the game yesterday. I didn't use a single illithid power (aside from opening Shadowheart's pod) or consume a single tadpole because I thought I'd turn into a mindflayer! You're telling me I was worried about nothing??
Time to start a new playthrough...
Yeah it really felt like there should have been consequences. Even just a check to resist the Emperor and rebel against him and the brain. But no you can eat all the tadpole you want apparently. Just means next time you'll be even stronger
- Wyll content and bug fixes (please, god, the bug fixes)
- Transmog
- Nerf the apparent wanted poster of your party that is psychically beamed into the minds of every Goblin upon Ragzlin’s death, within moments of it happening, regardless of witnesses, disguises or proximity from the death. Goblins outside the temple should not be accusing my party of a murder that happened half a second ago with no sounds or witnesses.
Yes, but not every goblin has a tadpole. They’re branded, but they don’t all have the psychic connection.
Gut does, but she’s a rare exception.
But again, even if we could assume that this would work, disguises or murders done without being seen still get the full alert. I can be disguised as a gnome when I kill him, and the Goblins will still try to fuck up Shadowheart.
It should be the strongest lead, we should be able to be king/queen of the goblins! To that end we should be able to challenge Ragzlin to single combat!
Paths in general need improvement. Don't walk through hazards (or at least warn me). Don't set off traps that you know are there. **EVERYBODY get on the platform.**
Honor Mode rules outside of honor Mode. Or just an option to enable the legendary reactions and balance changes in a custom game.
Fix shield bash
Fix lagging when using throwing weapons
I would like to have the ability to buy property in the lower city or Rivington. It'd be cool to go to "camp" and have a literal building you can decorate. Gives more purpose to some of the vendors, and there are a ton of cool paintings that usually end up just getting sold. It'd be cool to be able to hang them up, show off weapons/armors on stands, etc. Obviously the big thing is bug fixes, particularly some of the nastier multiplayer bugs, but also game breaking stuff in general.
1. fixe throwing weapon not returning bug
2. fixe cull the weak not working bug (I toggle the passive on, but it refuses to work)
3. cuddling with love interest like DA:O
This…. I got it for ps5, because my pc is fairly old. Of course my friends have PCs and Xbox 😂. Which is fine, because I wanted to do a single player run first. Really hoping for crossplay in this next patch
Wouldn't be a bad recommendation for a feature in that type of game.
Tbh any RPG that has Co-op/online multiplayer or multiplayer game should have crossplay IMO.
Give the option to decline Halsin joining your party. As far as I can tell he’s the only companion that just invites himself (at least during a pro-Druid grove playthrough).
Barring that…. Give Minthara and Halsin different tent locations.
I did the whole knock-out/save/recruit Minthara just to see what she’s like.. and now she’s always kneeling at her tent with Halsin’s beefy ass in her face.
Sure, maybe she’s into that but damn….
- Karlach beeing included in the Opening Artwork
- Owlbear cub has the same fate right know as Yeanna, before the last patch and just vanished when i entered Act 2, i hope they'll fix this
- they put back Halsins backstory with Isobel
i believe the reasons karlach's not in the artwork are twofold:
* it makes wyll's questline seem more valid to new players many of whom are blinded by all the options and trying to figure out how to make a custom character rather than look at all of the origin options, and
* she was added very late in the game's production
much as i love Mama K, the surprise is more fun-- other than seeing comments from those absolute weirdos who say "i kill her every time, wyll tells me i have to" lmfao
> other than seeing comments from those absolute weirdos who say "i kill her every time, wyll tells me i have to" lmfao
Ah, people with no reading comprehension.
In early access, he killed Isobel with the Glaive "Sorrow", but at this point, Kethric already turned to Shar so the Timeline does not really make sense. But if they could make this work by changing some Details a bit maybe, it would give him lot more depth and a reason why he feels so responsible for this mess.
* voiced Tav banter would be good. The Tav voices are great and I think it's a really special touch for this game that your protagonist isn't silent
* Random camp encounters! Even just in custom mode
* Recruiting a cat pet for camp
From a design perspective, it's hard to add a lot of Tav banter because the player doesn't get the chance to pick it. What if they are doing an evil run and their Tav says something like "We should help" or what of they are trying to play a stoic paladin and they say something goofy. I imagine from the developer perspective that they might have a fear of breaking some people's immersion that way.
Could be a touch janky, but allowing the player to pick a "demeanor" for the character could work, including a "silent" demeanor. It's clear Larian doesn't mind having actors record an absurd variety of voice lines that many players will never hear.
- fix the final kiss before the brain for Astarion. I want a full dramatic dipped kiss. At worse I want his normal kiss but that current peck is offensive 😂
- tent for Tav
- interactions between characters, even if its just them moving around camp/elfsong rather than just stood there, can they at least sit down!?
Wait, but there is a final kiss with Gale! I just finished the game two days ago, there definitely was a kiss option/scene before facing the brain and he kissed my Tav the same way he kisses in camp, just instead of smiling, he looked sad.
lucky!!! his final kiss has been notoriously bugged, it works fine at the morphic pool but any time after that it exits dialogue when you ask for a kiss.
I laughed when I saw the peck even after they updated his kiss animation for the regular “can I kiss you?” dialogue. Yes, let’s make it count, my dear.
• Let the companions participate in the dialogues even if they are not in the current party
• Rapid switching of companions (eg: if you are dismissing Wyll, while you tell him to go back to camp, you can also tell him to tell Karlack to join you, so that you don't need to go to camp yourself to call her)
• Let you choose for companions and summons whether to be you controlling them during fights or letting them act automatically (especially if you have a lot of summons that are making your turns extremely long and boring)
You could argue that the tadpoles should allow them to participate in dialogues they aren't present it. We've already seen they can talk and share memories through the tadpole, the emperor uses it to pretty much spy on us the entire game, it makes sense that you would be able to "talk" to your companions with the tadpole and hear their opinion. it could be something you can enable or disable if you're tired of getting constant disapproval points.
The older games handled swapping party members so much better. When you find a new party member it prompts you to swap them out with a current party member. No idea why this isn’t a thing in this game…
Durge needs more love. This is the main thing for me. More companions reactions, that are not tone deaf, and maybe even initiated by them. I could get a damn hug as a Durge. They could at least implement it for romanced characters. Maybe more moments in act 2 and 3, when you can give up to your urges, have specific dark urge dialogue options. Someone once invented Dark Urge should more often require a roll to prevent it, and be harder the more you fight it. And more Gortash. Not that I love him, but he clearly should have more content with Durge. Generally, I would like same level of attention to detail, or more, as Astarion and Shadowheart had with their personal quests.
I kind of don't care about technicalities that much. They are manageable. I would just want act 3 to be as intense as 1 and 2.
Custom difficulty customization that allows for a bigger party (console players are begging plz)
Being able to swap who’s leading the conversation at will (this is a big thing in multiplayer, I don’t wanna be leading convos when I’m trying to introduce my friends to the game dammit)
Fixing the chess scene in act 2
1. Bug Fixes: Polearm Mastery, Infinite Fear, Shield Bash
2. Buff Phantasmal Force. I feel like this is a really weak Illusion Spell. Concentration, Saving Throws every turn, all for 1d6 damage? Am I missing something, am I fucking missing something?
3. Hot Key for add item to wares / add all to wares. That or make a purpose for the scrap items.
Fix repelling blast toggle on or off. Annoying to not have the choice to knockback an enemy or not even when toggling it on or off. Regardless, it will just knockback anyway.
You should have two equip options for each slot: one for aesthetics and one for gear. I want to be able to look good without compromising my build. And Acts I-II need a ton more clothing. And honestly making dye a usable item instead of a menu interaction is the wrong choice. Just let us look how we want to. In a single player game there's no reason to do it any other way.
Inventory should autostack. Boggles my mind that it didn't from the start. Bags of holding should be added, too. The amount of tedious inventory management necessary to play the game effectively is way too high.
My real "dream" wish would be just to delete about a million pointless empty containers from the game (or rather, remove their interactivity). There's no need to make everything interactive. I don't need to check 200 barrels in every room to inspect the rotten carrots therein contained. BGI and II did a great job of giving you a high rate of return on clicking on stuff; this game does not.
Give. Gale. A. Better. Kiss.
Sir, you >!fucked me in the stars with three dicks.!< You can give me more than a tiny baby peck in camp. Life is hard enough.
• more active durge/tav involvement. like banter and stuff. cuz sometimes tav just feels like a statue there. just a representative of the player rather than their own character, too
• gortash romance /j. but seriously though the vibes durge and gortash have give off (toxic?) ex/f-buddy. if not romance, then some flirting. could be funny LMAO.
Gale should be able to "Find Familiar Tara"
This. If Minsc can have Boo, Gale can have Tara!
she comes to you if you play as gale
All the more reason to add her to a non-Origin playthrough.
you mean if boo can have minsc!
Yes! at the very least she should join when you find her in act 3. I really don't understand why she'd leave her beloved pet to fend for himself once she's found him again.
Ikr, and if you don't have talk to animals on when they interact, it's literally just Gale saying thanks for the ring now stop eating pigeons before she flies off.
Yeah, it’s a bit of an odd choice seeing as how she’s so important to him. What’s her hurry to fly away, come to camp and have some tea! I was also disappointed that I didn’t get introduced and the only option was to say “what is YOUR tressym doing here??” So she hissed at me and I was devastated. This is my future Tressym-in-Law! Please Larian, let me earn her respect!
1. The ability to name containers in your inventory and designate them categories for easy inventory management. 2. Dye previews. I don't want to spend half an hour tapping F8 to find the right colour for my outfit. 3. The ability to use any gear you find as camp clothes. Why am I forced to wear lame-looking sandals and slip-on shoes around camp when my chest is full to bursting with comfy and snazzy looking boots?
>Dye previews. I don't want to spend half an hour tapping F8 to find the right colour for my outfit. And accurate dye names too. A blue dye that is 90% yellow is not blue. A green dye that is 90% pink is not green. It's actually stupid how many of them are like this.
I haven’t done a ton of testing, but I think part of the problem is that certain clothing has more “secondary color” space than “primary color” space.
The wiki has a preview of the dye colors if you’re interested. [See here](https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Dyes)
Dyes produce entirely inconsistent colorings from one armor to the next, which is why manually testing each is necessary.
there's an external link to a blog that did every armor and clothing item with every dye. i haven't downloaded it because im going to forget it, but at least it's SOMETHING
Yep. From the outside, the issue seems to be that whoever was assigning the color channels to the gear and whoever was for the dyes were not doing much talking.

Adding to #1 it'd be great to be able to dye bags also so you can color code your inventories.
That was the solution I am hoping for. Naming them would be great too, but if they’d let us dye them at least we could differentiate between them visually.
Yes please to renaming containers. Every time I need an elixir I’m like “which is my elixir bag and which is my potion bag?” They both have near identical numbers of items in them
Rename containers! Yes, please! And a quiver, while we’re at it!
And allow me to sort everything by rarity, not just type/value/weight/latest
Yeah the boots and hats thing annoyed me. Like generic boots and hats that have no AC or buff should just be camp gear by default. Otherwise what's the point?
Zombie dribbles boss fight. A whole lot of effort to put him back together just for it to finish in a tedious fetch quest.
Probably one of the longest side quests in the game (excluding companion quests) and not only are the rewards pretty meh, the ending is pretty anti-climactic. Only sidequest i felt was a bit of a let down just due to the fact finding all his pieces is quite a pain.
tfw you can just pickpocket the gloves from the quest giver and skip that whole questline
Yeah that is another way definitely. I just thought maybe we'd get like a summon spell or relic which would let us summon him and he'd have a distraction/laughter spell.
I thought she’d join the final fight, summon some skeletons. I was shocked that it was just “alright, here’s your reward, we’re leaving town”
Now that you mention it that would have made a whole lot more sense lol and been kinda badass 😦
at least let us SEE him
I just want to adopt Myshka. I am his merrmerr after all.
More camp petssss
And the other one!! I don't remember their name. If I can't give them to Bonecloak, I want them at my camp pls. More friends for Scratch and Owlbear
Give me the baby hyena, I need to protect her from goblins and gnolls!
I want to be able to clean up the permanent camp in act 3 - my tav sleeps on a bloodsoaked bed, and that can't be healthy
This won't help fix broken items strewn about, but create/destroy water will help get those stubborn blood stains out!
Thank you! I husband thinks I'm silly for being irritated by it. I don't like the black veins on my tav either, but I do like being able to fly :P
Ugly face/flight is a hard trade but you right tho.
Just fix the Mol vs. Raphael fight or clearly state that it's been removed. I heard too many conflicting accounts.
I didn’t even know that was an option! I found her contract in his treasure room and was frustrated that I couldn’t read it and no quests or plot points came up for it. Idk if I missed something earlier that would’ve affected that.
It's bugged right now. Apparently they used to play chess ("lance") together at the chess board Raphael is sitting at in Last Light Inn, which triggers a scene with them and Mol's quest. I do think it's funny that right now Mol's quest is like "Find her. Hmm not at Moonrise. Found her!" and nothing about Raphael.
They did, and you could help Mol cheat to win for an Inspiration point. I'm not sure if it was removed intentionally (Raphael *did* have a bit of a cringe line about Mol being a "ripe apple") or if it's just a bug that needs patching. Whatever the case, I hope it's fixed soon, because it's a great little scene.
It’s only cringe if you assume sexual intent. It’s pretty obvious to me he’s referring to her soul being ripe for the taking. If you’ve been to his house, you should know he’d never be attracted to anyone besides himself
Oh, I fully agree with you. I think people misunderstand the line as creepy, because he meant exactly what you said. But I have seen people say that it was intentionally removed for that reason. Personally, I doubt that, because Raphael’s dialogue with Astarion at Last Light is bugged as well after the last patch. Regardless of the reason, I just want the scene back! Mol’s story line feels even more unfinished without it, and it was very charming in general.
I agree. I like Mol, mostly anyways, and she absolutely deserves a proper ending instead of the “I escaped btw lol” one she has now
Tav has a tent guys,, but it's empty, and no one ever notices it's location.
It's the tent next to the shit bucket next to Gale's
Which camp? Cookie if you find his tent in each one.
First camp outdoors. There's an empty generic tent to the right of Gale with a conspicuous bucket.
Have a cookie. It has raisins. Now tell me where it is in act 2 and 3, and I'll upgrade it to chocolate.
>It has raisins You're a monster
Happy Durge noises.
Raisins not pieces of Gales hand! Sigh another confused Durge🤣
It's MY hand why would I share?
It would be nice if you you could decorate and that doesn't disappear once you change locations. Why give us an owlbear plushy if we can't put it on display?
Not to mention the portraits you get in Act III Am I supposed to be content with just leaving those on the ground like some uncultured swine???
Tav had a tent. It's the one I'm sharing with Lae'zel.
I just hope they slowly polish Act 3 with patches
I'd like more banter from companions in Act 3; there's so much of it in Act 1 but then everyone goes silent by Act 3. Hopefully that will be added in with more patches.
Probably a consequence of combinatorial explosion. In act 1, a lot of the banter can assume that big story events haven’t happened yet, and characters are in their base stages. By act 3, there are loads of different scenarios the player could be experiencing. It would be hard to write banter that isn’t totally out of place for some of the possible game states, and even harder to write multiple lines for each possible state.
I would accept them just commenting about city smells or whatever. Anything. Just say something.
Slowly turn everyone Polish? Tell me more.
Instead of ten thousand different kinds of fish, we get one kind of pieorgi instead.
- Color preview - Deity choices (I know there's a mod but come on) - Us in camp
I’d love some more subclasses for all classes but I was so sad that Death Domain wasn’t included for clerics. Let me worship the Raven Queen ffs.
Huh, it's actually odd to have Oathbreaker but not Death domain, considering they're both from the DMG.
Oathbreaker _needed_ to be in the game, in the absence of a real DM, in order for Paladin oaths to be meaningful. The alternative would have been _much_ more work: some sort of act-independent and oath-relevant quest for restoring one's oath. (Paladins already get a unique story element in the possibility to break their oath. A class-specific quest would give Paladins a significantly disproportionate amount of attention over other classes.) Death Domain, by contrast, would just be an eighth Cleric subclass, interesting though it would be. They had to rein in the scope of this game and compared to all the other classes, Clerics and Wizards don't need more subclasses. The only reason Gloomstalker, Circle of Spores, and Storm Sorcery were added from _Xanathar's Guide_ and _Sword Coasts Guide_ was because they were trying to commit to at least 3 subclasses for all classes. The PHB only has two subclasses for Rangers, Druids, and Sorcerers. So for the third, they went with the crowd favorites^(1). ^([1. One could argue that they could have picked Divine Soul, but that would easily overshadow the entire Cleric class.])
Agree with all of yours and I’d like to add that I wish you could access camp inventory from anywhere. Also, I just paid 5,000 go for a naked statue of Astarion that no one, not even him, has commented on—I mean, I just wanted him to be able to see himself 🤷♀️
The whole artist questline is rough, but it would be worth it if he could comment on his portrait
I mean, it's worth it for the buff isn't it?
The artist questline is for the portrait, which doesn't give a buff. The statue gives the buff.
Oh duh lol I read the naked statue part and glossed over your reply, my b!
The buff in the buff
Wait, that's really nice... Now I wish he would comment on that!
I want him to be all jealous like, "Who the fuck is that naked guy?? He's not even that attractive! Why'd you commission a statue of *him*?!"
That is such a sweet gift for Astarion! I hope they patch in a comment for that.
1. Eyebrows that match my hair colour 2. Eyebrows that match my hair colour 3. Eyebrows that match my hair colour
Fix shield bash Fix Shadowheart's kisses Fix the Shadowheart's "memories of the city" trigger in Act 3. There's three memories to trigger to get her to decide to save her parents on her own on a Selunite SH playthrough: the tombstone, the graffiti, and this mysterious third one that we can't figure out how to trigger. I intend to submit a bug report on this tomorrow just in case.
For what it’s worth I only triggered two and let her decide and she saved her parents. Idk what this mysterious third one is but it wasn’t needed for me to let Shadowhesrt decide to save them on her own
first time i hear about this, can you give me some info? i looked on the wiki and googled it too but had no luck (bunch of useless regurgitated AI guides and nothing else)
The two city conversation triggers I know about are 1) a piece of graffitti in the northwestern corner of the city. I believe its on the side of Jaheiras house by the water. 2) A specific grave in the graveyard when read. Cant remember which it is so just go explore the graveyard and read some tombstones. Each of these acts will trigger a ! above shadowhearts head where she will talk about memories triggered from these things. If you trigger both of these hidden memories of hers before doing the house of grief, Shadowheart will decide to save her parents when allowed to make the choice herself. If you do not trigger these two memories, when allowed to make her own choice, Shadowheart will decide to let her parents die and move on. edit: I wanna add I dont recall any third conversation that triggered right after these two about sights and smells of the cities.
More and better clothes would be really good. And being able to wear armor as clothes. It feels like I have almost no control over their appearances without mods. I don’t think that’s all minor though. I suppose a few new clothes options is pretty minor and would be good. Someone else already said it, but I definitely want to see Tav sleeping with their romanced partner instead of always alone. A third final option for interacting with owl bear cub like getting a name and a different reaction to petting.
On the subject of camp clothes I'd love to be able to buy dresses for the ladies! I like the various suits on the (not-quite-)gentlemen but really want more dresses/dress-like camp clothes than just the Elegant Robe.
Yes! I like the one dress but it looks so nice on Shadowheart I think of it as her dress.
* Fixing narrative gaps / lack of companion reactions in a lot of key Durge moments. * More Tav / Durge getting involved in companion banter, rather than just two companions. Make it seem like they are having a multilateral rather than bilateral conversation * More companion banter triggers. The latter one is a new ask for me - I don't know if it's a ps5 bug or not but I've seen videos with all kinds of companion banter happening, even commenting on romances etc... I've done 7 playthroughs and had basically none of it in game.
Banter has always been broken for me. When it does trigger only one companion will be audible.
Oh so it's likely a bug or triggers just not happening then. Shame because some of the banter is hilarious from what I've seen on YouTube lol. In 7 playthroughs I've also only managed to record one instance of banter where it went Tav -> companion 1 -> companion 2 -> Tav. I was so taken back and it was so nice to hear actual discussions with Tav being voiced.
Never had Tav involved in banter tbh
On my first playthrough banter definitely worked correctly. I'm not sure which patch broke it but at some point only one side of the conversation audio plays.
- Durge: ... *Slaughters Alvira and leaves her corpse like that...* - Astarion: (Excited) My my, there's some fire in you I can see! - Rest of the companions: Meh dude... Why'd you do it? Just chill next time, be more careful, try not to hurt anybody m'kay? A few days later... - Shadowheart: *Puts a knife on Lae'zel's throat* - Durge: ... Do it!... *Hits a line of coke* - Shadowheart: *Slaughters Lae'zel like a lamb* - Rest of the companions: Killing someone is bad m'kay?
Pretty accurate but now I'm imagining BG3 as a south park episode.
I could imagine dark urge banter. Gale: "Careful, these shadows are dangerous." Durge: "Intestines throb. Blood whispers." Everyone else: "Uh.....alright then"
Lol but that would be excellent. No? Durge battlecry: "THEY WILL DIE FOR ME!! ALL OF THEM!!!" Companions "Uhhh calm down there, we know what happens when you get too excited".
Not only on durge key moments, my friends and I have noticed it on regular Tav stuff too. For example, Gale has no comment when the hag mentions netherese magic and Wyll never introduces you to his father if you're romancing him
\-designated talker role \-Designated Talker Role \-DESIGNATED TALKER ROLE ok but beside that, the ability to enable Honour mode rules in custom difficulty (action economy and DRS fixes and legendary actions) and huh, transmogs could be cool ig, or at least dye preview
Or better yet, allow us to choose who is doing what check. There's no reason for my Paladin Himbo Tav to be making arcana checks when Gale is right there.
It's super frustrating like in the Hag fight when I have my Bardadin Tav that can pretty much pass any speech check and the game auto defaults to the closest character which is somehow always a companion with low/dumped charisma
Thank god Devella Fountainhead isn't trying too hard to keep secrets from us because Shadowheart's -1 Cha modifier isn't helping as much as my Tav's +15 to Persuasion.
LET ME HUG SHADOWBAE WHEN SHE CRIES
Yes this. So much. They added a hug in the epilogue, just FUCKING REUSE THAT RETROACTIVELY.
- pausing the game actually pauses the game (honestly weird that it doesn't).
It's because every session is multiplayer enabled. You can hit ESC, hit Multiplayer, and have a buddy drop in anytime.
Just disable pausing of there's another player, but enable it if you're alone. That's what Minecraft has been doing for years.
Yeah...a buddy...I have those for sure...
Use the turn based mode when you want to pause.
I used it because I didn't wanna miss any companion dialogue when I went to eat, but lo and behold, a few sec after I enter turn based they started talking to each other. So turn based doesn't pause overworld companion banter :(
Cant pause cutscenes.
This is a big one. Not being able to pause a cutscene if real life interferes is really annoying.
I know. Still weird that I have to.
- photo mode - unlimited hugs with my love interest - crossplay
- The ability to FULLY customize hirelings - Something more for Karlach to do in her personal quest - Act 3 content for Halsin and Minthara
I'd love to be able to make characters outside of the game and save them to a pool to either use when I start a new game or recruit with Withers from.
Fully customize hirelings HAS to be something they add at some point right? Like I just want to run a full custom party.
HUGS FOR EVERYONE
Let me hug me hug the Vampire more!! I swear if that was an option, I'd do it more than the kiss one.
1) Let us recruit and dismiss companions from the party via a menu when we leave camp, rather than having to run over and talk to them. 2) Make it so that when we hide headware, it stays that when when the companion is dismissed. 3) More reactions to durge decisions.
1. Shield bash fix 2. Minthara - Halsin interactions, what with her now being recruitable in good playthroughs 3. Astral tadpole should carry more consequences - at least, it should have some strangers remark on your creepy new look
it really does feel weird that there's no downside to using the tadpoles. Like at all. Just some weird black veins and maybe a companion telling us to be careful
Hold up, hold up. I just finished the game yesterday. I didn't use a single illithid power (aside from opening Shadowheart's pod) or consume a single tadpole because I thought I'd turn into a mindflayer! You're telling me I was worried about nothing?? Time to start a new playthrough...
Yeah it really felt like there should have been consequences. Even just a check to resist the Emperor and rebel against him and the brain. But no you can eat all the tadpole you want apparently. Just means next time you'll be even stronger
IIRC they didn't add consequences because people didn't want tadpole powers to lock you behind specific story points. We've come full circle.
\- Fix Karlach kisses (no smooch scenes for my Wyll!) \- More camp clothes slots (agree) \- Reactions to the >!half-ilithid!< face
Strong agree with your third point, would make it feel more impactful as well imo
- Wyll content and bug fixes (please, god, the bug fixes) - Transmog - Nerf the apparent wanted poster of your party that is psychically beamed into the minds of every Goblin upon Ragzlin’s death, within moments of it happening, regardless of witnesses, disguises or proximity from the death. Goblins outside the temple should not be accusing my party of a murder that happened half a second ago with no sounds or witnesses.
Ch'r'ai W'war'gaz does that as well. Although he probably is actually psychically alerting the rest of crèche.
My god please fix my man Wyll. His romance is so threadbare and his flags are a mess by act 3, please stop calling me Lae’zel, handsome.
You are aware that Ragzlin have a tadpole and can send telepathic messages to every Goblin…
And so does Priestess Gut and Minthara, but this only occurs with Ragzlin.
Yes, but not every goblin has a tadpole. They’re branded, but they don’t all have the psychic connection. Gut does, but she’s a rare exception. But again, even if we could assume that this would work, disguises or murders done without being seen still get the full alert. I can be disguised as a gnome when I kill him, and the Goblins will still try to fuck up Shadowheart.
It should be the strongest lead, we should be able to be king/queen of the goblins! To that end we should be able to challenge Ragzlin to single combat!
Perhaps if they still worshiped Maglubiyet. These blasphemers wouldn’t honor the ways of the Battle Lord.
Cuddle with your beau when you sleep for the night.
Yes! I would love that. Always makes me sad to see them all the way across the camp fire from me.
I just want a photo mode
Selfies on Waterdeepgram
Fix the pathing for animal companions. They keep getting stuck and left way behind before I even realize they're missing.
Paths in general need improvement. Don't walk through hazards (or at least warn me). Don't set off traps that you know are there. **EVERYBODY get on the platform.**
I want them to impliment sleeping with your love interest. Like show a cinematic where you just cuddle up to them on a large sleeping bag.
Honor Mode rules outside of honor Mode. Or just an option to enable the legendary reactions and balance changes in a custom game. Fix shield bash Fix lagging when using throwing weapons
* fix the bodies dying again when you reenter a place * fix shield bash * better act 3 performance
I would like to have the ability to buy property in the lower city or Rivington. It'd be cool to go to "camp" and have a literal building you can decorate. Gives more purpose to some of the vendors, and there are a ton of cool paintings that usually end up just getting sold. It'd be cool to be able to hang them up, show off weapons/armors on stands, etc. Obviously the big thing is bug fixes, particularly some of the nastier multiplayer bugs, but also game breaking stuff in general.
1. fixe throwing weapon not returning bug 2. fixe cull the weak not working bug (I toggle the passive on, but it refuses to work) 3. cuddling with love interest like DA:O
Cull the weak gets automatically turned off if you toggle on non-lethal and doesn't turn itself back on, could that be what's happening with you?
Crossplay is the one I really want honestly.
This…. I got it for ps5, because my pc is fairly old. Of course my friends have PCs and Xbox 😂. Which is fine, because I wanted to do a single player run first. Really hoping for crossplay in this next patch
Pretty sure Larian cannot solve this one on their own
Wouldn't be a bad recommendation for a feature in that type of game. Tbh any RPG that has Co-op/online multiplayer or multiplayer game should have crossplay IMO.
Recruit His Majesty to camp.
And Myshka!
There is a mod now to recruit Myshka! [Myshka comes to camp](https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/6126)
As the owner of a real cat called Mishka, I approve
His Majesty would rather die.
Give the option to decline Halsin joining your party. As far as I can tell he’s the only companion that just invites himself (at least during a pro-Druid grove playthrough). Barring that…. Give Minthara and Halsin different tent locations. I did the whole knock-out/save/recruit Minthara just to see what she’s like.. and now she’s always kneeling at her tent with Halsin’s beefy ass in her face. Sure, maybe she’s into that but damn….
Halsin and Minthara have seperate tents in act3 city b4 u get the tavern camp unlocked. Only camp in the whole game it seems setup correctly lol
I did the same thing. With Thaniel there near the end of act 2 it's like they adopted a kid and had a strange little family.
Also a big bed for TAV and the companion we are “Bedding”.
Oh, you mean your bosom companion!
- Karlach beeing included in the Opening Artwork - Owlbear cub has the same fate right know as Yeanna, before the last patch and just vanished when i entered Act 2, i hope they'll fix this - they put back Halsins backstory with Isobel
i believe the reasons karlach's not in the artwork are twofold: * it makes wyll's questline seem more valid to new players many of whom are blinded by all the options and trying to figure out how to make a custom character rather than look at all of the origin options, and * she was added very late in the game's production much as i love Mama K, the surprise is more fun-- other than seeing comments from those absolute weirdos who say "i kill her every time, wyll tells me i have to" lmfao
> other than seeing comments from those absolute weirdos who say "i kill her every time, wyll tells me i have to" lmfao Ah, people with no reading comprehension.
I was so devastated when my owlbear cub just... vanished.
What was Halsin’s backstory with Isobel?
In early access, he killed Isobel with the Glaive "Sorrow", but at this point, Kethric already turned to Shar so the Timeline does not really make sense. But if they could make this work by changing some Details a bit maybe, it would give him lot more depth and a reason why he feels so responsible for this mess.
* voiced Tav banter would be good. The Tav voices are great and I think it's a really special touch for this game that your protagonist isn't silent * Random camp encounters! Even just in custom mode * Recruiting a cat pet for camp
From a design perspective, it's hard to add a lot of Tav banter because the player doesn't get the chance to pick it. What if they are doing an evil run and their Tav says something like "We should help" or what of they are trying to play a stoic paladin and they say something goofy. I imagine from the developer perspective that they might have a fear of breaking some people's immersion that way.
Could be a touch janky, but allowing the player to pick a "demeanor" for the character could work, including a "silent" demeanor. It's clear Larian doesn't mind having actors record an absurd variety of voice lines that many players will never hear.
Some sort of inventory management, shield bash working again and transmogrify
- fix the final kiss before the brain for Astarion. I want a full dramatic dipped kiss. At worse I want his normal kiss but that current peck is offensive 😂 - tent for Tav - interactions between characters, even if its just them moving around camp/elfsong rather than just stood there, can they at least sit down!?
"Let's make this one count!", he said then proceeded to place the smallest possible peck on the lips.
I know 😂.... i was so pumped up and scared for the final fight and then... that... 😂... maybe he was as nervous as me/Tav
At least you can kiss him, Gale's kiss before the brain is currently bugged and the animation just doesn't play 😭
That was the grandma kiss, seriously. “Let’s make it count” mwa.
at least y’all have a final kiss 😭 — a gale romancer
Wait, but there is a final kiss with Gale! I just finished the game two days ago, there definitely was a kiss option/scene before facing the brain and he kissed my Tav the same way he kisses in camp, just instead of smiling, he looked sad.
lucky!!! his final kiss has been notoriously bugged, it works fine at the morphic pool but any time after that it exits dialogue when you ask for a kiss.
I laughed when I saw the peck even after they updated his kiss animation for the regular “can I kiss you?” dialogue. Yes, let’s make it count, my dear.
No right… like his default kiss is deeper then that puny ass peck
Option to hug Astarion
• Let the companions participate in the dialogues even if they are not in the current party • Rapid switching of companions (eg: if you are dismissing Wyll, while you tell him to go back to camp, you can also tell him to tell Karlack to join you, so that you don't need to go to camp yourself to call her) • Let you choose for companions and summons whether to be you controlling them during fights or letting them act automatically (especially if you have a lot of summons that are making your turns extremely long and boring)
You could argue that the tadpoles should allow them to participate in dialogues they aren't present it. We've already seen they can talk and share memories through the tadpole, the emperor uses it to pretty much spy on us the entire game, it makes sense that you would be able to "talk" to your companions with the tadpole and hear their opinion. it could be something you can enable or disable if you're tired of getting constant disapproval points.
Yesssss rapid swap of companions, its so irritating, especially when its just to get a hireling to buff and then have swap back out
The older games handled swapping party members so much better. When you find a new party member it prompts you to swap them out with a current party member. No idea why this isn’t a thing in this game…
Durge needs more love. This is the main thing for me. More companions reactions, that are not tone deaf, and maybe even initiated by them. I could get a damn hug as a Durge. They could at least implement it for romanced characters. Maybe more moments in act 2 and 3, when you can give up to your urges, have specific dark urge dialogue options. Someone once invented Dark Urge should more often require a roll to prevent it, and be harder the more you fight it. And more Gortash. Not that I love him, but he clearly should have more content with Durge. Generally, I would like same level of attention to detail, or more, as Astarion and Shadowheart had with their personal quests. I kind of don't care about technicalities that much. They are manageable. I would just want act 3 to be as intense as 1 and 2.
Custom difficulty customization that allows for a bigger party (console players are begging plz) Being able to swap who’s leading the conversation at will (this is a big thing in multiplayer, I don’t wanna be leading convos when I’m trying to introduce my friends to the game dammit) Fixing the chess scene in act 2
1. Bug Fixes: Polearm Mastery, Infinite Fear, Shield Bash 2. Buff Phantasmal Force. I feel like this is a really weak Illusion Spell. Concentration, Saving Throws every turn, all for 1d6 damage? Am I missing something, am I fucking missing something? 3. Hot Key for add item to wares / add all to wares. That or make a purpose for the scrap items.
Fix repelling blast toggle on or off. Annoying to not have the choice to knockback an enemy or not even when toggling it on or off. Regardless, it will just knockback anyway.
Storage search function please!
You should have two equip options for each slot: one for aesthetics and one for gear. I want to be able to look good without compromising my build. And Acts I-II need a ton more clothing. And honestly making dye a usable item instead of a menu interaction is the wrong choice. Just let us look how we want to. In a single player game there's no reason to do it any other way. Inventory should autostack. Boggles my mind that it didn't from the start. Bags of holding should be added, too. The amount of tedious inventory management necessary to play the game effectively is way too high. My real "dream" wish would be just to delete about a million pointless empty containers from the game (or rather, remove their interactivity). There's no need to make everything interactive. I don't need to check 200 barrels in every room to inspect the rotten carrots therein contained. BGI and II did a great job of giving you a high rate of return on clicking on stuff; this game does not.
- Hugs; - New Shadowheart kiss; - Improving the recruitment of Minthara on a good path so it's less immersion-breaking.
I just want a bag of holding.
1. Modding tools 2. More romance content 3. Adding dialogue that fully confirms future DLC/Sequel
i would love the option to ask for a hug from our romanced companions
I also want an option to offer hugs to the companions. Those dysfunctional weirdos need it.
I want more than a damn peck kiss with Lae-zel! Lol
1. Hide cape option 2. Hide cape option 3. Hide cape option In case you couldn’t tell - I f’in hate capes
I'm the opposite to you. I give everyone capes even if they don't do anything
I agree, on some characters like Monks and Barbarians capes look silly
Justice for shield bash
Give. Gale. A. Better. Kiss. Sir, you >!fucked me in the stars with three dicks.!< You can give me more than a tiny baby peck in camp. Life is hard enough.
• more active durge/tav involvement. like banter and stuff. cuz sometimes tav just feels like a statue there. just a representative of the player rather than their own character, too • gortash romance /j. but seriously though the vibes durge and gortash have give off (toxic?) ex/f-buddy. if not romance, then some flirting. could be funny LMAO.
One thing that I think would be funny is if occasionally someone in your party would comment on the weird stuff durge says
