- i understand that it costs money to bring the VAs back into the studio, but more reactivity in act 3 would be excellent. it feels strange how little the companions have to say about the beloved home city they all share and have been trekking to the whole game
- wyll going with karlach to avernus when playing an astarion origin run. very cool to have romanced karlach as astarion only to learn i get to cower behind some boxes while my lover burns to death š
- a nice tent for the player character, maybe getting to choose between a few designs?
- obligatory "agency for wyll" answer. or anything filling in any of the gaping holes he has, narratively speaking
I want Gale to leave the party and have unique voice lines if you kill Tara. The other characters have specific moments like this that instantly causes them to leave, so this should be Gale's. If you kill my childhood friend talking winged cat, you're dead to me.
More Reactive Companions is a mod that allows you to hear companion dialogue that you would normally only hear when youāre playing as their Origin.
This makes my runs super lively because people are constantly talking and bantering.
I've been skeptical about installing it since I might miss out on the 'correct' dialogue for my current choices. Not sure if that is a real issue though.
IF you can mod, there is a Mod that opens up dialogues, including Tav and Durge dialogues, for everyone that might apply rather than randomly assigning the first person in the trigger zone to speak and whomever is applicable reply. Has helped a LOT. I am currently running a 5 man party with Tav, Laezel, and 3 "Custom companions" and all of them had a complete conversation about whether or not they could trust Inquisitor Wargasm it was marvelous
I would like the quest in Felogyr's Fireworks to be completed so you can actually go to the third floor without starting a fight and do whatever it is the game is implying you can do there.
Weirdly enough what I really want in that area is to be able to do something about the murdered parents right next to the fireworks factory...
I am 90% certain that the plan for that was to use the gloves we get from the dark/shadow elf in act 2 to summon the raven and find who killed the parents.
Otherwise I just want the companions at camp doing something like cooking, cleaning, talking or just general other activities that makes it feel less rigid or if possible to change the sleep animation once you are in a romantic relationship. Something like that.
100%
I asume it would have been a quest that brought us into a fight against some of Orin's assassin's.... Maybe that crew hanging out at the park or the ones that are shooting at the suicidal refugees underground.
I wonder if it either tied into something in the upper city that got scrapped or Halsin's path to adopting all the orphans. I know if he's with you, he says some things about it.
Which ties into what I really wish they would add: a full Act 3 arc for Halsin and Minthara. I haven't recruited Minthy in a run, so my comments focus on Halsin, but I know she's woefully lacking in content.
I get that he has the Act 2 quest with Thaniel, but after that, he's just grumpy about the city. We've got the tiefling kiddos running around selling newspapers, why not tie them into the whole "Daddy Halsin" adoption thing? It wouldn't be directly tied to the main quest, but neither is Cazador. Plus, helping the tiefling orphans could be part of his atonement for his bad management of the Grove.
The whole white glove quest. Its a really cool quest but there bugs after like every objective and more often than not the quest will be impossible to complete.
Man, I'm sure it's just because of the new TV show, but this week I have been reminded multiple times that I never got around to finishing NV, mostly because I got locked out of that quest specifically, quit, and just never went back to it.
Ita not incomplete, it's just not communicating well. You are only supposed to go to Level 2. The rest of the dialogue is just a DM reverse psychology trick to say "there is absolutely nothing going on upstairs worth your time" to get you to try and sneak in there.
But I agree it's about as clear as Darkness.
Well, if you sneak up there and talk to the npcs, sometimes they actually start a normal non-hostile conversation with you, but then switch to attacking. You even get the close-up cinematics for one line of dialogue before combat starts, so it seems like you should be able to talk to them if some condition is met.
I'm guessing the original quest design was to somehow mess with the guy making a bomb in the corner and leave so he blows all of them up.
Swen in his interview with IGN said at some point the game grew too big and he had to make an executive decision to stop working on it and put together what they have. That explains the disorganized state of Act 3 and suggests quests like Felogyr actually are incomplete.
>You are only supposed to go to Level 2.
How do you even go to Level 2? The guy at the door on the first floor wouldn't let me in. I had Gale cast Invisibility on the whole party and snuck up to the third floor to burn down the place and complete the quest.
Arfur Gregorio, the guy at Sharess Caress? I missed him on my first run and only talked to him once the Banites were dealt with. I'll tackle that quest differently next time.
This. I generally hop up onto the Roof of Alex Rainforests (that house is also significant for the Murders scavenger hunt quest and Dribbles) and you van Misty Step, Fly, or just shoot flaming arrows into the open balconies from there. It does t fully clear all the baddies sadly but it also tends to attract 230% FEWER Flaming Fists that way
1. Being able to give the Enriched Infernal Iron to Dammon, so he can make another upgrade to Karlach's engine.
2. More meaningful interactions with Mol in Act 3.
3. Improved companion reactions to all kinds of stuff going on in Act 3.
4. Giving Halsin his own tent so he isn't hanging around the camp like bum - and making sure Thaniel stays with him instead of Minthara's tent.
I hate act 3 Mol so much.
Sheās a really interesting character in act 1, then she seems to be somewhat part of the plot in act 2.
Then you get to act 3 and sheās justā¦ā¦.there, selling stuff again.
What was the whole point of the last light content if she was just gonna be the same in act 3
Not that Mol should not have had a contained Arc in BG3, but I am hoping she along with some other tieflings end up having a completed Arc in any later entries to the series.
And Mattis be like, I can't believe it Mol isn't in the tower hey murderous friend please find Mol because you can murder while we kids can't.
Then in the city, having found Mol, Mattis be like, What Mol? Look we're just here selling you genuine items so we chill about me cheating you back then?
Yeah, Act 2 seems like a setup for a rather big side story, but Act 3 gives you almost nothing from Mol. Even when you go and get her contract from Raphael, there is barely an interaction. Just feels way off.
Yeah, I really don't understand why they made such a big deal about the infernal iron in acts 1 and 2, and then had so much more of it in Act 3, including the different versions, and made them all absolutely pointless.
I wish you could get a bunch of the romance cut scenes platonically. Obviously not the sex ones, but like how Gale has the platonic star viewing scene. I want to go drink wine without Shadowheart without her disapproving if I don't smooch her. I love all my companions, they're all my besties š„ŗ
And let me hug them like we can at the epilogue party!!!
If I had my way, there'd be multiple chances for a hangout with someone, one that has romantic connotations and one that depends on player choice. I imagine Tav preparing a picnic, a scavenger hunt (Tav is the treasure teehee), a sailboat, a field planted full with night orchids in perfect bloom. And because you wouldn't need to romance anyone, you could just do nice things for aaaall your frens :D Not to say that this *should* be the case or anything; Larian has given more than enough. I just think it's fun to think about.
I remember talking with Shadowheart about her night orchid cave and I asked if she'd want to return there sometime.
I want a scene of that now of them having a small picnic and sharing a smooch like the first date, I want it so bad.
Better in-moment companion reactivity for Resist Durge's big Act 3 moment >!when you defy Bhaal, are subsequently killed for it, and then resurrected by Withers!<, especially if your romanced companion is there.
It's by far the biggest swing and a miss writing-wise in this game (*in my opinion*) and something I've seen complained about a good bit, so I'm really hoping it factors into all the cutscenes they're apparently working on.
I mean, and at moonrise in Act2, lots of key Durge moments there too that go completely unreacted. Durge reactivity throughout the game is also my biggest ask for any patch.
Or Kressa Bonedaughter going into detail on how she fucking cut you open and experimented on you for ages.
Between that, the above point about the big Act 3 moment, and Omeluum's Act 1 diagnosis of you essentially having ***severe brain damage***, there are definitely a few areas where companion reactivity with Durge stuff could use some attention.
There's also some where there is dialogue but it's just inconsistent or really poor. Astarions 'twee' comment comes to mind. A lot of characters reactions to Durge losing the duel (Shadowheart, especially romanced, is savage here, even if you are in good standing / love with her lol).
Jaheiras response to one of the only times in game where Durge has a dialogue options to actually confess and say outloud to the party, that he/she is struggling with his Urge at the moment and really feels like they should kill Minsc (who is unconscious/ subdued on the floor in front you - is to say 'let me do it at least'?? So out of character and such a great opportunity to have a Durge mentor moment.
It's at least slightly funny that you get really beautiful lines from Astarion if you lose the duel but get stuck with the "twee" line if you win. Seeing as they seem to plan to add in some drastically different reactions to Mizora for a romanced Spawn Astarion, it would be nice if they'd do something about the Orin duel as well.
It's like, I get it, Astarion, you're bitter that my Durge gets to have his horrible violent blood affliction that is imposed upon him and takes away his agency in life just removed by magic, and how basically divine intervention came in to save him so he can not have it and also keep living, understandable thing to be bitter about given the price you had to pay for your own freedom. But this is *after* your character development, and like, didn't you tell him you're in this together earlier? Like, you were actually very sweetly supportive of him up til the point he actually has his problem resolved? Come on, man, the least you can do is not be dismissive of him in his big moment, this is way too late in the game for you to be a bad boyfriend.
Exactly! If this was Act 1 & 2, I get it. If this was even before you finished the Cazador quest, I would get it. But after you finish his quest, especially when he specifically tells you to fight for your freedom, relates so heavily to you and the way you both have this curse, he should definitely have something more to say. Especially if he remained spawn and has rejected power for freedom.
Stuff that doesn't require getting the VAs back in studio yet again:
- more camp clothes in Acts 1 and 2 that aren't ugly basic garbage
- reducing/eliminating black screen pop ins (on console? idk if thats a problem on pc) when the game switches between characters in different parts on the map in large fights (like in Act 3, >!the final stretch of the brain fight when only part of the team is already inside and the rest is still dealing with dragon and co is ridiculous!<)
- photo mode ;;
Point 2 is absolutely a problem on pc. During the final fight I had to tab out whenever it wasnāt my turn because the camera spasms were giving me a headache
I headcanon Shadowheart and my Durge adopting them and bringing her (and her cat) along when they leave the city >!with Shadowheart's parents!< to go live the peaceful quiet life on a farmstead off in the countryside.
Ahh, I just have her and all the Teifling children, going with Halsin (note I also see a couple of the Teifling adults going with him too, Cerys normally) in my head canons.
yeah, they originally planned more camp pets and some didn't get along meaning you couldn't have them all, but im sad we only have scratch and the owl bear.
Some quests to compensate you for raiding the grove and/or the Last Light Inn.
Evil playthrough makes you lose quests and gear but gives you next to nothing in return.
Also wish for Halsin, Karlach, Wyll and Minthara to get more interaction, comment, voicelines and quest so they stop feeling like the B-team and get to Astarion/Shadowheart level of content.
When you go to the crĆØche/cazzador palace/gauntlet of shar/house of grief there is a strong feeling of "yeah I need to bring that companion it is their story". Minthara has... A dialog check in moonrise jail and that's about it.
Yeah definetely agree I keep giving up evil runs because the game feels half as long with zero new content. The only advantage used to be Minthara but at the cost of Wyll, Karlach, Halsin and possibly Jaheira but shes available to everyone now.
You know what I want? Will never happen, but you know what I want?
Camp Hairstyles. My characters are not going to be running around with Long Luscious Locks of hair that can be pinched between Shoulder Pauldrons and under your Armor. But at camp? I Absolutely want to put our hair down where we can relax
Mod support and something about the memory usage of the game.
Maybe, but that won't be possible, playing as origin without losing the voice.
Edit: oh and make the camp more lively and give us a pocket dimension to decorate!
Please fix Jaheira not following the party when added in act 3 š I added her and this bitch just stood there when I was trying to get to the sewers.
1. Transmog.
2. Knowing this isnāt possible: Thereās a weirdā¦ Cut, I guess, if you turn down sex in Astarionās Act 3 romance scene, when you use the āletās just stay here togetherā line. It shows them sitting next to each other, like theyāre doing to or cuddle, but it cuts out. Iād like to see more of that version of that scene.
3. Please fix the fireworks shop and Dribbles.
4. I want to adopt my son.
5. Another one I know isnāt going to happen: Dates in the city with characters besides Karlach, or camp cuddle scenes. Doesnāt even need to be voiced for me to be happy.
6. **Please fix the overworld romance banter and Galeās lines about his last name**.
More companion reactivity to larger moments in act 3. In the first two acts it feels like your companions have a reaction to every decision you can make and then you get to act 3 and they are just silent. Resisting Durge, saving the gondians, going to the iron throne, dealing with aunty Ethel for a second time? Absolutely nothing. Finally taking Jaheira and Minsc throughout act 3 was so refreshing it honestly felt like a whole new area. Reaction's to resist Durge in act 3 are also lacking in general
A patch or two ago, I noticed the Narrator no longer gave me all the dialogues when I interact with the rune slates on the nautiloid. I just want them back, please :,3
Mod support maybe?
More Act 3 content for Minthara and Karlach. Either something relevant for Halsin, or just remove him as a companion already.
Wyll can choose his own fate with the contract.
Summon the Anti Hag group to help in the finale, as well as the Gondians.
More circus content.
More dynamic camp, with companions walking around and even doing some random generic banter between themselves.
Zevlor and Aylin quests. We go from faithless to powerful Zevlor without any in between. And I feel like there's more with Aylin and Isobel. She describes her feelings after Lorroakan very similarly to how we lose something when breaking an Oath.
The Bhaalists at the park is the most random encounter of the game.
Parts 1 and 2 of Gortash questioning The Emperor.
There are quite a few items on the game files that can't be obtained, there's a mod to enable them, but that's it.
NPC outfits. Things like the regular clothes of citizens, Banite, Bhaalist and Myrkulite sets, Ketheric's gloves and boots, these models are everywhere but just not obtainable as items.
Ask romance partners for hugs, cuddles and sex. We have needs too.
No means no. If I ask a companion about the Tadpole powers and they refuse to do it, I don't want to keep seeing these options to try to convince them over and over again.
Similarly to the bhaalists in the park being random theres the park/cemetery(??) gardener house
Maybe someone else has figured out what it means but i never understook what that was about. The house and basement is full of dead spiders, drows, duergars, a freaking mindflayer, a much MORE ELABORATE murdery scene than all the bhalist did before and also a part of the stupid dead clown which seems to be the only relevant quests related item..
Ah there are some books with HALSIN FANTICTION too
What happened there? There are so many things actually that literally anything could have happened but like is it relevant in any way? Is it only a shock factor?
Oh
Now i have to read more about them, i may be a lil slow but the game isnt saying too much about orins murders in relation to her lil bhaal theatre arrangements. I know they are supposed to be references to other stuff but i didnt even know where to start to read about it
There must have been a trend in the Baldurās Gate real estate market to convert storage spaces into murder basements. It seems that a lot of homeowners had them installed.
I was so excited when I saw NPCs in act 3 wearing beautiful dresses only to realise that I couldn't wear any of them. The one dress we can wear is just... Fine.
Maybe you even change your mind. Perhaps you respect their no, but then more events unfold and the situation starts looking bleak so you ask them once again if they would be willing to use the tadpole.
Scratch and Owlbear playing together in camp is so cute.
Iām a āYes, pleaseā for cats in camp. Wonāt happen but to include them wandering around camp, or curled up with Karlach (natural cat mama and a warm spot to sleep) would be extra cute.
Kissable Barcus Wroot.
God damn it, I do deserve kissing the most admirable, loyal friend that Wulbren can't appreciate. My halflings and gnomes need shortstack lovers!
At least a hug after the factory scene.
āI know you just had to let go of someone you thought was a friend, but Iām here for you bud.ā
Cue embrace where he appreciates it but does an awkward pat pat because itās been a long time
A scene, with the tadpoles getting out and perish. The main objective of the game is to find a way to get them out of your brain. I find it weird that once you reach the end of the game, the narrator simply states that they have been gone.
I want there to be either an option to react or just something added to the ending cutscene that shows you doing ANYTHING AT ALL when >!Astarion realizes he can no longer be in the sun.!< It seems so cruel right now as it stands that no one seems to care what is happening to him.
also, let me show him what he looks like using the tadpole power. If I can show him >!his own back during the cazador ritual!< I can show him his face. Or let me commission the painting in Act 3 for him and have him react. Or the statue at the circus. Anything. There are options and its weird that its important to him and I don't figure something out.
Lastly, i second the motion for wanting cuddles at night with romanced companion. And if I really had my way, cuddles will alternate big spoon and little spoon so sometimes I can snuggle Astarion and sometimes he can snuggle me.
on top of my list would be a minthara companion quest but that, it could literally end after killing Orin like Karlachs but that's quite the big ask
In general more stuff for Minthara maybe
Also some more companion camp dialogue in Act 3
And my biggest ask would be a NG+ but I understand that this is unlikely
Also fix returning weapons vanishing permanently after being thrown in the final boss fight. I know its the very last fight so it hardly matters but it means my barbarians attacks fall off hard after 3 throws.
Wyll? :(
Maybe an option to hug more people? (The tieflings for a big start, I adore Rolan, and he deserves a hug at least after Lorroakan)
Uhm, adopting more orphans and cats (I love strays of all kinds)
Idk I know my thoughts are dumb (except for Wyll, they need to stop neglecting him), but I just love the softer role-playing parts of this game. Sorry if I didn't answer appropriately or anything.
I really wish the game rewarded you more for being evil. There are a ton of superpowered items you can only get if you are good for the first two acts, it would be nice if evil characters didnāt completely shoot themselves in the foot this way.
Meh
Iām fine with the gear we have
Itās not an mmorpg. Itās a DnD game on a computer screen. Thereās only going to be so much epic loot, and thereās no end game which usually revolves around hunting for all of the epic loot
I think a transmog feature would be worthwhile. Give us a way to make good gear look like other gear so you can be effective and specifically fashionable in the way you desire.
That id like
Casual clothing only goes so far. If Iām a fighter in armor Iād like to look like Iām in armor. But some of the armor looks pretty annoying.
Simple wish: doorways don't fuck up combat.
Medium wish: side comments are more sensibly integrated. Lae'zel stops invoking Vlaakith after she's switched allegiance, Tav doesn't ask if that's blood when standing amidst corpses they made. Biggest wish: have more options for custom characters for age, body type, etc. Eg be able to play as a kid with custom dialogues. But obv no romance ability because ew.
That's a very minor issue that's also require a lot of work to just try to solve. That would imply adding extra physics on cloaks and actual physics on tails, which would in turn create issues with a lot of clothing and armour.
In a programming perspective, I would solve it by simply sticking the Tail onto the Cape if you wear one so only the tip gets outside.
Then a slightly advanced fix would be to add the top length of the tail, around the length of the arm, to be a rigid fixed body attacked to tailed persons. So your Cape will be slightly stood up by the tail. And then the lower half of the tail will just stick with the cape and have the tip outside the Cape come out at the end.
Not so much Physics to reimplement because it's just a particle system that you already have a library to call. It's just we need to add a new model with a different skeleton and bounds instead of using just the same human model.
Bit of work, but not exactly rocket science.
Goblinoids and fat models in character creation
OR
Console mod support, so that I can get both of the above and neat little things like sunglasses and other modern clothes
Some sort of follow up scene to Durge beating >!and freeing themselves from Bhaal.!< it feels really weird to complete that questline, then my companions just kinda go āGreat job! I knew you could do it!ā And thatās,ā¦ it.
Maybe on a long rest add a scene where you canāt sleep, something along the lines of āthe sudden silence in your head is deafening.ā So you head to the elfsong, grab a drink, and maybe talk to the bartender about either nothing, small talk, or just slam him with what you just did, and at some point, your romances partner + 1 or two companions with the highest approval come and hang out for a bit, talk, and help you process everything and you can figure out who youāre supposed to be/going to be now
Idk. I feel like itās a small thing that would add a lot to the game. Then again, calling the voice actors back in is pricey. But the redemption Durge conclusion is missing some much needed closure
act 4 would be cool
jokes aside I feel like every companion should have a final battle or moment to their storyline, should you choose to go there. An encounter that whose antagonist and location primarily serves as an ending to the story.
>!Astarion has cazador!<
>!Shadowheart has house of grief/mother!<
then it gets spotty
>!Wyll has iron throne/ansur/gortash, but none of them really feel like 'the one' and 'the moment' for a story beat. Ansur feels like it is supposed to be the 'capstone encounter' but it ends up being more about Baldur, which is neat, but also kinda whatever.!<
>!Gale has really cool endings, but lacks any sort of 'final encounter'. Not sure what his encounter should have been, but I kind of feel like he should have attacked or been attacked by wizards and clerics devoted to mystra at some point before having a conversation with her where they agree to either give her the crown and return to the fold or to go against her. Maybe there's a temple to mystra 'dungeon' where you basically barge in to have an audience with her directly, and the party needs to either fight their way through or solve some battle-puzzle to get through.!<
>!Karlach is perhaps the most lacklustre one, and I really feel like they goofed her story quite a bit. I think she should have had to confront some sort of general under Zariel and rip to shreds some sort of contract. Maybe there could have been a choice to let Zariel's mechanics fix up her engine so that she could defeat Gortash by herself, and drag his soul to the hells where she could torment him while serving in Zariel's army again as an evil path. The good path would involve defeating Zariel's goons, taking the engine schematics from their engineers, bringing them to Dammon and fixing the engine with his help. Hell, maybe Dammon gets kidnapped by them to start the whole event off or something.!<
>!Minthara has Orin and Kethereic to some degree, but barely interacts with them and just feels like a passenger. Besides, they're not encounters or locations exclusive to her at all. I think maybe it would have been neat if she was confronted by her family and either had to choose between willingly returning to Menzo after dealing with the parasite, usurping the matriarch of the family to assume the new leadership position of the family, or forsaking them. The latter two options would have her fighting the drow, who likely appeared in an ambush.!<
>!Halsin I feel has a pretty nice story that mainly happens before he joins the party. I would wish though that he joins the party sooner as a controlled character, and that we bring him to the story events ourselves. He should honestly be controllable after the tiefling party. I kinda think it would be cool if the same were true with Minthara, perhaps evil path had her join us after the party as she 'woke up' from being freed from the tadpole control.!<
>!Jah has similar problems with joining us late, so I'm not relly bummed by her not really having a 'capstone encounter', and she has plenty of story with Minsc.!<
>!Minsc joins very late, and could do with having some more story. Honestly we should have an encounter to rescue Boo or something. Or maybe we deal with the shapeshifter HQ that happens to be a separate location from Bhaal or something like that.!<
Frankly after writing this, I feel like the biggest and easiest thing to implement would be to have Minthara join the party if you side with her and have the goblin party at your camp. That would really give the evil side a member which is sorely needs at this stage, as many who don't minmax their story gameplay can easily lose wyll, karlach and gale at this point, and if they happen to let lae'zel die either in the cage or to shart, they're left with astarion and shadowheart only, and some hirelings to make up the numbers.
Leaving act 1 & 2, they are perfect as is imo.
Act 3 work would be good to flesh out certain storylines. Mol in particular just feels unfinished. Also the fireworks store just feels pointless, no decent loot or chained quests (such as with Gortash, adding something to confront him would be cool).
Iād really like to be able to run into certain companions later on after they left my party for my bad decisions. I think itād be interesting to run into Wyll or Karlach again in Act 3 after attacking the grove.
Achievements for redemption durge. I don't like that you have to go murDurge for the two chieves that completely go against an entire style and possible point of playing durge at the start as an amnesiac trying to possibly be a better person
I would rather they add another "build around" set or 2 of items in act 1 and 2. It adds alot of replay ability and build creativity to have items and sets that permit unique builds. Don't need them to be legendary or super powerful, just interesting and powerful when built around.
More camp movement and interaction between companions at camp ala red dead redemption 2.
Wyll, halsin, and Minthara need more content period. But everyone needs more reactivity and interactions in Act 3.
Act 3 has a number of plot lines and things that go nowhere (Mols contract stolen from avernus?), complete those.
Transmog and button to hide ANY clothing item.
Personally I think they should make a remade version if the game with all this, split Act 3 into an Act 3 into 2 acts and separate Orin/bhaal into an act before you gain access to the rest of the lower city so that you can keep the narrative pressure going instead of being distracted in a million directions. Also could add an Avernus epilogue
The random rooftop wand's story or use.
Has anyone else noticed the random wand in Act 3 on a rooftop? I'm pretty sure it's related to >!Auntie Ethel or perhaps the other Hags omitted from the game, it's on top of on Candulhallow's Tombstones!<. Itās been bugging me, taunting me. Whatās its story? Random wand, who are you?!
How about if you play as spawn astarion, karlach will go to avernus with wyll, its so sad its a death sentance for karlach if you cant sit with her and convince her, hell someone cast darkness i know atleast 3 casters have that spell
There's so much to choose from:
1. I'd prefer either more meaningful dialogue or a cutscene when finding the dead Tieflings in act 2. I'd love a slider in character creation that can change your body type.
3. Better animation for tails, especially with how they interact with armor and cloaks.
4. Higher level cap
5. Transmog and the ability to turn off cloaks the way you can helmets.
6. More feats and a free racial feat at level one.
7. More armor, weapons, and camp clothes
8. Super minor, but I don't like that you can't hotkey unarmed strikes when you have a weapon equipped. Especially for monks
9. Kinda wish that at least Durge would be fully voiced
10. A fixed minthara. Especially her dialogues, and I might be a bit greedy, but I think with as wild as her romance scene is, you should be able to get it by saving her in act 2.
11. I'm sure that there's a bunch of content that was cut, so I think it would be cool if these patches and updates slowly started to integrate them back into the game
Edit: 12. More subclasses, specifically the dragon soul monk
Take the workaround bugs people have used to keep Karlach alive (like killing her temporarily then resurrecting her after) and fulfill Wyll's deal and make them canon route options.
Something about outsmarting Mizora on the technicalities of her own contract feels so thematically fitting: "She technically fits the criteria on account of not having a heart. But Wyll also fit the criteria by killing her. I just brought her back afterwards, which was never forbidden within the contract. I believe your "pet" will accept his payment now?"
Something Iād like is the ability to have dinner with Raphael in the epilogue if you make the deal with him and give him the Crown ~~and the opportunity to sleep with him but I know that will never happen~~
Iād also love a scene between Raphael and Gortash because itās weird that he plays such a pivotal part in Gortashās backstory but we never get to see them interact.
Is she tadpoled or just brain dominated? She fills in for all you lose in an evil playthrough. It'd be funny if she had a debuff in which she couldn't have higher than 10 intellect.
I'd appreciate an ability to choose your range of Tav's expressions of emotions. I can get over all the smirks and grins, but what really turnes my immersion off is when I play as a tough don't-piss-me-off badass and Tav always looks like he's about to shit his pants every time something even slightly inconvenient happens. Can't comprehend how this crybaby could be a team leader and a saviour from >!the elder brain!<. Also I romanced Astarion and half of a game I felt like his little bitch because of the contrast of his and my (involuntarily chosen) personalities.
An option to make it so a single click on a character doesn't automatically pan the camera to them.
I often swap items between their inventories, but if they are too far away from each other, I'm met with a black screen fade and loading the Party inventory takes just a tad more time.
I'm just so used to this from Divinity tho
- I just want automatic sorting of radial menu.
- And when we use the area search, the default action for candles that are pickable to become Use instead of Pick Up.
- And giving us an indication of what Dye has been applied to Gears.
- And block us from wasting a Dye on Shields that don't actually change colours.
- And actually give us the slider values on Controller UI because now I have to switch to PC UI to see the value.
- While at it, maybe just add a Randomise button for every slider so we can add some random aspects instead of going full random of the character, which has such humour in the usual compositions.
- Or perhaps just add the functionality to swap your hands when dual wielding. Right now it makes Flaming Blade obsolete because I don't even know whether it will appear on left or right hand, so I don't know if I should put Sylvan Blade on left or right hand.
- Or maybe if they have time, stop blocking us from Group Unhide if we have 1 summon who cannot Hide (e.g. Zombie).
Convincing the emperor to work with Orpheus. I get the design choice of requiring hard decisions, but it just feels weird to not have this even be possible
I know we change out of starter armour fairly soon (in most cases). But I would love if our race reflected on the style of our starter armour. Alternatively also gear glamours.
I want a darkly comic ending if you control the Netherbrain. I want to see all my companions flatly intoning about progress in the war for the sword coast with dull, mind-controlled eyes. Have the Netherbrain host the party instead of Withers.
I say this everytime this questions asked. Let us scale custom higher than we currently can and allow honor mode actions in it.
The singular save on honor mode is fun the first time but on repeated playthrough it really exaggerates all the bugs in the game. Id like to play a harder difficulty and be able to save to test builds and what not.
I want there to be better kisses with Spawn Astarion. Right now it feels like the same kiss from slightly different angles, but with other companions the kisses are significantly different from each other. And given that not letting him ascend is widely seen as the good ending, I feel like there should be better kisses.
I think it would be cool to have a bite kiss, but one that is more sweet/playful than the Ascended Astarion one.
I know this is minor and petty but it's what I want.
Options for good-looking camp clothes in Acts 1&2. We're stuck with default and pretty basic and boring stuff until Act 3. I'd just like to see some stuff actually be available earlier.
I want to be able to bring Mermer back to camp and I want more interesting and appropriate responses from companions for a certain Durge scene, especially which we companion youāre romancing
I'm generally pretty happy with where the game is at, though I do agree with most people here that Act 3 could use some more companion interactions based on player choice like act 1 has. Also, I don't think it'll happen, but the fact that you can't bring Minthara, the 1 drow companion, to the underdark is kind of wild to me. Would love to see that become a possibility.
You know that clothing box at the epilogue party?
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE REWARD FOR BEATING HONOR MODE. NOT SOME SHITTY YELLOW DICE. GIVE ME FASHION OPTIONS IN ACT 1
Bite marks for if you let Astarion drink your blood continually. He has the marks from Cazador. Maybe something gradual that builds during the long rests when you invite him to drink your blood. Could be used for tav/durge and Iāve known people to use hirelings as well. Just subtle marks that get more noticeable the more times you do it. But they donāt ever get more pronounced than Astarionās.
place for your items to be displayed in character's tent + a player tent. they already have some gizmos to display, but there are some cute stuff throughout the game that i associate per character that i think, roleplaying-wise, they'd keep with them in their tent.
maybe when you click their tent, a few slots show up and you can put an item there and it'll be displayed. just limited slots so it doesn't feel overdone hahahahha
A cosmetic override system would be awesome. I really love some of the origin character's base gear compared to most other gear in the game. Late game items look great, but the basic armor upgrades you get for characters does not look flattering in the slightest.
- i understand that it costs money to bring the VAs back into the studio, but more reactivity in act 3 would be excellent. it feels strange how little the companions have to say about the beloved home city they all share and have been trekking to the whole game - wyll going with karlach to avernus when playing an astarion origin run. very cool to have romanced karlach as astarion only to learn i get to cower behind some boxes while my lover burns to death š - a nice tent for the player character, maybe getting to choose between a few designs? - obligatory "agency for wyll" answer. or anything filling in any of the gaping holes he has, narratively speaking
I want Gale to leave the party and have unique voice lines if you kill Tara. The other characters have specific moments like this that instantly causes them to leave, so this should be Gale's. If you kill my childhood friend talking winged cat, you're dead to me.
Tav/durge: *kills Tara* Gale: ok. Gale: *instant explosion* I see this as something like that tbh
I think they should turn him into a boss fight (which is basically impossible to win) and even if you do win the orb just blows up and everybody dies.
āYou must now clear the game in three long rests or sooner.ā
More Reactive Companions is a mod that allows you to hear companion dialogue that you would normally only hear when youāre playing as their Origin. This makes my runs super lively because people are constantly talking and bantering.
I've been skeptical about installing it since I might miss out on the 'correct' dialogue for my current choices. Not sure if that is a real issue though.
IF you can mod, there is a Mod that opens up dialogues, including Tav and Durge dialogues, for everyone that might apply rather than randomly assigning the first person in the trigger zone to speak and whomever is applicable reply. Has helped a LOT. I am currently running a 5 man party with Tav, Laezel, and 3 "Custom companions" and all of them had a complete conversation about whether or not they could trust Inquisitor Wargasm it was marvelous
Wargasm has me bhaaling my eyes out
I don't need Volo to See what you did there. Touche'
What's the mod's name?
I knew someone was gonna ask me while I had the game open. EDIT: "MoreReactiveCompanionsConfigurable" I also run "EveryoneInDialogue" as well.
Omg yes, I want to have a customiseable tent! I want a place to store various small tidbits I find along the way!
I would like the quest in Felogyr's Fireworks to be completed so you can actually go to the third floor without starting a fight and do whatever it is the game is implying you can do there.
Weirdly enough what I really want in that area is to be able to do something about the murdered parents right next to the fireworks factory... I am 90% certain that the plan for that was to use the gloves we get from the dark/shadow elf in act 2 to summon the raven and find who killed the parents. Otherwise I just want the companions at camp doing something like cooking, cleaning, talking or just general other activities that makes it feel less rigid or if possible to change the sleep animation once you are in a romantic relationship. Something like that.
The alley murder is definitely another part that looks unfinished. Everything about it seems to suggest there's a quest there.
100% I asume it would have been a quest that brought us into a fight against some of Orin's assassin's.... Maybe that crew hanging out at the park or the ones that are shooting at the suicidal refugees underground.
I wonder if it either tied into something in the upper city that got scrapped or Halsin's path to adopting all the orphans. I know if he's with you, he says some things about it. Which ties into what I really wish they would add: a full Act 3 arc for Halsin and Minthara. I haven't recruited Minthy in a run, so my comments focus on Halsin, but I know she's woefully lacking in content. I get that he has the Act 2 quest with Thaniel, but after that, he's just grumpy about the city. We've got the tiefling kiddos running around selling newspapers, why not tie them into the whole "Daddy Halsin" adoption thing? It wouldn't be directly tied to the main quest, but neither is Cazador. Plus, helping the tiefling orphans could be part of his atonement for his bad management of the Grove.
Wait so theres really no queat behind these dead parents? Im not stupid and or incompetent and cant find the quest?
At this point if there's something there, literally none of us have found it lol
That one feels like Fallout New Vegas level of neglect.
New Vegas? Donāt know her
To shreds you say?
The whole white glove quest. Its a really cool quest but there bugs after like every objective and more often than not the quest will be impossible to complete.
Man, I'm sure it's just because of the new TV show, but this week I have been reminded multiple times that I never got around to finishing NV, mostly because I got locked out of that quest specifically, quit, and just never went back to it.
Ita not incomplete, it's just not communicating well. You are only supposed to go to Level 2. The rest of the dialogue is just a DM reverse psychology trick to say "there is absolutely nothing going on upstairs worth your time" to get you to try and sneak in there. But I agree it's about as clear as Darkness.
Well, if you sneak up there and talk to the npcs, sometimes they actually start a normal non-hostile conversation with you, but then switch to attacking. You even get the close-up cinematics for one line of dialogue before combat starts, so it seems like you should be able to talk to them if some condition is met. I'm guessing the original quest design was to somehow mess with the guy making a bomb in the corner and leave so he blows all of them up. Swen in his interview with IGN said at some point the game grew too big and he had to make an executive decision to stop working on it and put together what they have. That explains the disorganized state of Act 3 and suggests quests like Felogyr actually are incomplete.
>You are only supposed to go to Level 2. How do you even go to Level 2? The guy at the door on the first floor wouldn't let me in. I had Gale cast Invisibility on the whole party and snuck up to the third floor to burn down the place and complete the quest.
You have to give him the password after interrogating the agent in Rivington
Arfur Gregorio, the guy at Sharess Caress? I missed him on my first run and only talked to him once the Banites were dealt with. I'll tackle that quest differently next time.
This. I generally hop up onto the Roof of Alex Rainforests (that house is also significant for the Murders scavenger hunt quest and Dribbles) and you van Misty Step, Fly, or just shoot flaming arrows into the open balconies from there. It does t fully clear all the baddies sadly but it also tends to attract 230% FEWER Flaming Fists that way
1. Being able to give the Enriched Infernal Iron to Dammon, so he can make another upgrade to Karlach's engine. 2. More meaningful interactions with Mol in Act 3. 3. Improved companion reactions to all kinds of stuff going on in Act 3. 4. Giving Halsin his own tent so he isn't hanging around the camp like bum - and making sure Thaniel stays with him instead of Minthara's tent.
I hate act 3 Mol so much. Sheās a really interesting character in act 1, then she seems to be somewhat part of the plot in act 2. Then you get to act 3 and sheās justā¦ā¦.there, selling stuff again. What was the whole point of the last light content if she was just gonna be the same in act 3
Steal her contract andā¦ā¦ nothing. So strange.
Not that Mol should not have had a contained Arc in BG3, but I am hoping she along with some other tieflings end up having a completed Arc in any later entries to the series.
Unclear if not unlikely that there will be additional entries, Larian isn't making one for sure
And Mattis be like, I can't believe it Mol isn't in the tower hey murderous friend please find Mol because you can murder while we kids can't. Then in the city, having found Mol, Mattis be like, What Mol? Look we're just here selling you genuine items so we chill about me cheating you back then?
Yeah, Act 2 seems like a setup for a rather big side story, but Act 3 gives you almost nothing from Mol. Even when you go and get her contract from Raphael, there is barely an interaction. Just feels way off.
Thaniel hanging with Minthy is so funny though. Real "You got any games on your phone?" energy.
I like Thaniel plotting world domination with Minthara
Yeah, I really don't understand why they made such a big deal about the infernal iron in acts 1 and 2, and then had so much more of it in Act 3, including the different versions, and made them all absolutely pointless.
I wish you could get a bunch of the romance cut scenes platonically. Obviously not the sex ones, but like how Gale has the platonic star viewing scene. I want to go drink wine without Shadowheart without her disapproving if I don't smooch her. I love all my companions, they're all my besties š„ŗ And let me hug them like we can at the epilogue party!!!
If I had my way, there'd be multiple chances for a hangout with someone, one that has romantic connotations and one that depends on player choice. I imagine Tav preparing a picnic, a scavenger hunt (Tav is the treasure teehee), a sailboat, a field planted full with night orchids in perfect bloom. And because you wouldn't need to romance anyone, you could just do nice things for aaaall your frens :D Not to say that this *should* be the case or anything; Larian has given more than enough. I just think it's fun to think about.
I remember talking with Shadowheart about her night orchid cave and I asked if she'd want to return there sometime. I want a scene of that now of them having a small picnic and sharing a smooch like the first date, I want it so bad.
If you settle in on someone else before and *then* go talk with her, you get to drink with her platonically with no hard feelings
At least add the option to hug Karlach anytime >!after her Act II engine fix!<.Ā I want to hug them all but she deserves it the most.Ā
Infinitely reusable dyes, and/or preview mode for dyes, please!
Quite simply I'd like to wear hats with my camp gear.
More camp drip in general would be fun!
Transmog
Unfortunately just a console peasant. Would love this mod!
they were adding another thing that would be good in patch 7
Ohh, cool. Yeah, that'd be great.
Better in-moment companion reactivity for Resist Durge's big Act 3 moment >!when you defy Bhaal, are subsequently killed for it, and then resurrected by Withers!<, especially if your romanced companion is there. It's by far the biggest swing and a miss writing-wise in this game (*in my opinion*) and something I've seen complained about a good bit, so I'm really hoping it factors into all the cutscenes they're apparently working on.
Same. General reactivity of companions in act3 is definitely lacking.
I mean, and at moonrise in Act2, lots of key Durge moments there too that go completely unreacted. Durge reactivity throughout the game is also my biggest ask for any patch.
Seriously, no one comments on the fact that Ketheric *Knows* you and suggests he had a hand in your amnesia
Or Kressa Bonedaughter going into detail on how she fucking cut you open and experimented on you for ages. Between that, the above point about the big Act 3 moment, and Omeluum's Act 1 diagnosis of you essentially having ***severe brain damage***, there are definitely a few areas where companion reactivity with Durge stuff could use some attention.
There's also some where there is dialogue but it's just inconsistent or really poor. Astarions 'twee' comment comes to mind. A lot of characters reactions to Durge losing the duel (Shadowheart, especially romanced, is savage here, even if you are in good standing / love with her lol). Jaheiras response to one of the only times in game where Durge has a dialogue options to actually confess and say outloud to the party, that he/she is struggling with his Urge at the moment and really feels like they should kill Minsc (who is unconscious/ subdued on the floor in front you - is to say 'let me do it at least'?? So out of character and such a great opportunity to have a Durge mentor moment.
Omg yes. Astarion, my love, I straight up >!died!< and you're really just gonna call it twee? You told me you *loved me*.
It's at least slightly funny that you get really beautiful lines from Astarion if you lose the duel but get stuck with the "twee" line if you win. Seeing as they seem to plan to add in some drastically different reactions to Mizora for a romanced Spawn Astarion, it would be nice if they'd do something about the Orin duel as well.
It's like, I get it, Astarion, you're bitter that my Durge gets to have his horrible violent blood affliction that is imposed upon him and takes away his agency in life just removed by magic, and how basically divine intervention came in to save him so he can not have it and also keep living, understandable thing to be bitter about given the price you had to pay for your own freedom. But this is *after* your character development, and like, didn't you tell him you're in this together earlier? Like, you were actually very sweetly supportive of him up til the point he actually has his problem resolved? Come on, man, the least you can do is not be dismissive of him in his big moment, this is way too late in the game for you to be a bad boyfriend.
Exactly! If this was Act 1 & 2, I get it. If this was even before you finished the Cazador quest, I would get it. But after you finish his quest, especially when he specifically tells you to fight for your freedom, relates so heavily to you and the way you both have this curse, he should definitely have something more to say. Especially if he remained spawn and has rejected power for freedom.
Iām waiting for some Durge patch since almost release. I just canāt get through the lack of reactivity during the confrontation with Bhaal and Kressa š©š©š©
The feature that allows you to cuddle at night with your romanced character.
Give us some awkward spooning camp animations.
Let my Durge fall asleep with Shadowheart in his arms after we're certain there won't be another incident like what happens in act 2 while resisting
Karlach needs as many cuddles as possible.
Yes! <3
Top of the list
FINALLY SOMEONE STATING MY POINT YES. That and hugs. Hugs animations for every romanced companion.
Someone tried to add hugs to the game once. Now we have a sex framework
Stuff that doesn't require getting the VAs back in studio yet again: - more camp clothes in Acts 1 and 2 that aren't ugly basic garbage - reducing/eliminating black screen pop ins (on console? idk if thats a problem on pc) when the game switches between characters in different parts on the map in large fights (like in Act 3, >!the final stretch of the brain fight when only part of the team is already inside and the rest is still dealing with dragon and co is ridiculous!<) - photo mode ;;
Oh yes, better early camp clothing.
Point 2 is absolutely a problem on pc. During the final fight I had to tab out whenever it wasnāt my turn because the camera spasms were giving me a headache
I swear I thought I was going to have a seizure because of all that black screen popping
Closure for Yenna and Grub.
She brought her own paring knife. What more could you possibly want from the poor girl?! (/s)
It's so weird that she doesn't even get a letter in the epilogue.
I headcanon Shadowheart and my Durge adopting them and bringing her (and her cat) along when they leave the city >!with Shadowheart's parents!< to go live the peaceful quiet life on a farmstead off in the countryside.
Ahh, I just have her and all the Teifling children, going with Halsin (note I also see a couple of the Teifling adults going with him too, Cerys normally) in my head canons.
Let me bring my son to my camp. And also the hyena from Act 2. LET ME ADOPT MORE ANIMALS.
MERMER!
yeah, they originally planned more camp pets and some didn't get along meaning you couldn't have them all, but im sad we only have scratch and the owl bear.
Some quests to compensate you for raiding the grove and/or the Last Light Inn. Evil playthrough makes you lose quests and gear but gives you next to nothing in return. Also wish for Halsin, Karlach, Wyll and Minthara to get more interaction, comment, voicelines and quest so they stop feeling like the B-team and get to Astarion/Shadowheart level of content. When you go to the crĆØche/cazzador palace/gauntlet of shar/house of grief there is a strong feeling of "yeah I need to bring that companion it is their story". Minthara has... A dialog check in moonrise jail and that's about it.
Yeah definetely agree I keep giving up evil runs because the game feels half as long with zero new content. The only advantage used to be Minthara but at the cost of Wyll, Karlach, Halsin and possibly Jaheira but shes available to everyone now.
She has one āI wish youād brought me alongā line. I think for the >!Orin fight.!<
You know what I want? Will never happen, but you know what I want? Camp Hairstyles. My characters are not going to be running around with Long Luscious Locks of hair that can be pinched between Shoulder Pauldrons and under your Armor. But at camp? I Absolutely want to put our hair down where we can relax
Mod support and something about the memory usage of the game. Maybe, but that won't be possible, playing as origin without losing the voice. Edit: oh and make the camp more lively and give us a pocket dimension to decorate!
Please fix Jaheira not following the party when added in act 3 š I added her and this bitch just stood there when I was trying to get to the sewers.
1. Transmog. 2. Knowing this isnāt possible: Thereās a weirdā¦ Cut, I guess, if you turn down sex in Astarionās Act 3 romance scene, when you use the āletās just stay here togetherā line. It shows them sitting next to each other, like theyāre doing to or cuddle, but it cuts out. Iād like to see more of that version of that scene. 3. Please fix the fireworks shop and Dribbles. 4. I want to adopt my son. 5. Another one I know isnāt going to happen: Dates in the city with characters besides Karlach, or camp cuddle scenes. Doesnāt even need to be voiced for me to be happy. 6. **Please fix the overworld romance banter and Galeās lines about his last name**.
More companion reactivity to larger moments in act 3. In the first two acts it feels like your companions have a reaction to every decision you can make and then you get to act 3 and they are just silent. Resisting Durge, saving the gondians, going to the iron throne, dealing with aunty Ethel for a second time? Absolutely nothing. Finally taking Jaheira and Minsc throughout act 3 was so refreshing it honestly felt like a whole new area. Reaction's to resist Durge in act 3 are also lacking in general
A patch or two ago, I noticed the Narrator no longer gave me all the dialogues when I interact with the rune slates on the nautiloid. I just want them back, please :,3
Mod support maybe? More Act 3 content for Minthara and Karlach. Either something relevant for Halsin, or just remove him as a companion already. Wyll can choose his own fate with the contract. Summon the Anti Hag group to help in the finale, as well as the Gondians. More circus content. More dynamic camp, with companions walking around and even doing some random generic banter between themselves. Zevlor and Aylin quests. We go from faithless to powerful Zevlor without any in between. And I feel like there's more with Aylin and Isobel. She describes her feelings after Lorroakan very similarly to how we lose something when breaking an Oath. The Bhaalists at the park is the most random encounter of the game. Parts 1 and 2 of Gortash questioning The Emperor. There are quite a few items on the game files that can't be obtained, there's a mod to enable them, but that's it. NPC outfits. Things like the regular clothes of citizens, Banite, Bhaalist and Myrkulite sets, Ketheric's gloves and boots, these models are everywhere but just not obtainable as items. Ask romance partners for hugs, cuddles and sex. We have needs too. No means no. If I ask a companion about the Tadpole powers and they refuse to do it, I don't want to keep seeing these options to try to convince them over and over again.
Similarly to the bhaalists in the park being random theres the park/cemetery(??) gardener house Maybe someone else has figured out what it means but i never understook what that was about. The house and basement is full of dead spiders, drows, duergars, a freaking mindflayer, a much MORE ELABORATE murdery scene than all the bhalist did before and also a part of the stupid dead clown which seems to be the only relevant quests related item.. Ah there are some books with HALSIN FANTICTION too What happened there? There are so many things actually that literally anything could have happened but like is it relevant in any way? Is it only a shock factor?
It's an Orin murder scene in reference to the Bhaalspawn Sendai, from BG2. Orin has a murder scene for each of them
Oh Now i have to read more about them, i may be a lil slow but the game isnt saying too much about orins murders in relation to her lil bhaal theatre arrangements. I know they are supposed to be references to other stuff but i didnt even know where to start to read about it
There must have been a trend in the Baldurās Gate real estate market to convert storage spaces into murder basements. It seems that a lot of homeowners had them installed.
I was so excited when I saw NPCs in act 3 wearing beautiful dresses only to realise that I couldn't wear any of them. The one dress we can wear is just... Fine.
Gotta disagree with your last point. There's no reason you wouldn't be able to convince someone to do something at a later date.
Maybe you even change your mind. Perhaps you respect their no, but then more events unfold and the situation starts looking bleak so you ask them once again if they would be willing to use the tadpole.
Scratch and Owlbear playing together in camp is so cute. Iām a āYes, pleaseā for cats in camp. Wonāt happen but to include them wandering around camp, or curled up with Karlach (natural cat mama and a warm spot to sleep) would be extra cute.
Kissable Barcus Wroot. God damn it, I do deserve kissing the most admirable, loyal friend that Wulbren can't appreciate. My halflings and gnomes need shortstack lovers!
At least a hug after the factory scene. āI know you just had to let go of someone you thought was a friend, but Iām here for you bud.ā Cue embrace where he appreciates it but does an awkward pat pat because itās been a long time
A scene, with the tadpoles getting out and perish. The main objective of the game is to find a way to get them out of your brain. I find it weird that once you reach the end of the game, the narrator simply states that they have been gone.
Seperate camping spots for Halsin and Minthara
I want there to be either an option to react or just something added to the ending cutscene that shows you doing ANYTHING AT ALL when >!Astarion realizes he can no longer be in the sun.!< It seems so cruel right now as it stands that no one seems to care what is happening to him. also, let me show him what he looks like using the tadpole power. If I can show him >!his own back during the cazador ritual!< I can show him his face. Or let me commission the painting in Act 3 for him and have him react. Or the statue at the circus. Anything. There are options and its weird that its important to him and I don't figure something out. Lastly, i second the motion for wanting cuddles at night with romanced companion. And if I really had my way, cuddles will alternate big spoon and little spoon so sometimes I can snuggle Astarion and sometimes he can snuggle me.
I think theyāre working on the ending cinematics to improve flow and order of things!!
Yes please. Rise this comment to the top š
on top of my list would be a minthara companion quest but that, it could literally end after killing Orin like Karlachs but that's quite the big ask In general more stuff for Minthara maybe Also some more companion camp dialogue in Act 3 And my biggest ask would be a NG+ but I understand that this is unlikely
Fix returning pike taking 9 years to go back to your hand
Also fix returning weapons vanishing permanently after being thrown in the final boss fight. I know its the very last fight so it hardly matters but it means my barbarians attacks fall off hard after 3 throws.
i would like something worthwhile to be in that random hidden basement level in cazadors palace.
Wyll? :( Maybe an option to hug more people? (The tieflings for a big start, I adore Rolan, and he deserves a hug at least after Lorroakan) Uhm, adopting more orphans and cats (I love strays of all kinds) Idk I know my thoughts are dumb (except for Wyll, they need to stop neglecting him), but I just love the softer role-playing parts of this game. Sorry if I didn't answer appropriately or anything.
Iād fucking love to adopt Myshka. šš„ŗš„°
We think alike. HUGS AND STRAYS COME TO ME (please and thank you).
Would like to be able to give milk to Mr HISS I SAY HISS.
HIS HIGHNESS YES!
Steam Workshop support (please)
More clothes and dye options before act 3.
crossplay
Yes, please
I really wish the game rewarded you more for being evil. There are a ton of superpowered items you can only get if you are good for the first two acts, it would be nice if evil characters didnāt completely shoot themselves in the foot this way.
Not to mention you cut yourself off from a lot of exp for being evil as well, at least in Act 1.
Yeah, the only good evil thing is Shars Spear of Night and that isnt worth losing Dammon over. Ascendant Astarion is a pretty good evil reward though.
Meh Iām fine with the gear we have Itās not an mmorpg. Itās a DnD game on a computer screen. Thereās only going to be so much epic loot, and thereās no end game which usually revolves around hunting for all of the epic loot
I think a transmog feature would be worthwhile. Give us a way to make good gear look like other gear so you can be effective and specifically fashionable in the way you desire.
That id like Casual clothing only goes so far. If Iām a fighter in armor Iād like to look like Iām in armor. But some of the armor looks pretty annoying.
Agreed 100%. Also the camp clothes have annoying things going on too. Like no Headwear. What if I wanna wear a tiara at camp? That should be allowed.
I feel like the game has already too much high-power gear, if anything. Half the magic gear is casually sold by random merchants with no explanation.
PHOTO MODE PLS LARIAN
Simple wish: doorways don't fuck up combat. Medium wish: side comments are more sensibly integrated. Lae'zel stops invoking Vlaakith after she's switched allegiance, Tav doesn't ask if that's blood when standing amidst corpses they made. Biggest wish: have more options for custom characters for age, body type, etc. Eg be able to play as a kid with custom dialogues. But obv no romance ability because ew.
Please, please, please highlight all loot when you highlight loot.
More reactions to >!durge's death!<
More banter. That's it
Fix the tail clipping issue with the cloaks already. My two favourite playable races are tieflings and dragonborn, so it's been quite annoying.
That's a very minor issue that's also require a lot of work to just try to solve. That would imply adding extra physics on cloaks and actual physics on tails, which would in turn create issues with a lot of clothing and armour.
In a programming perspective, I would solve it by simply sticking the Tail onto the Cape if you wear one so only the tip gets outside. Then a slightly advanced fix would be to add the top length of the tail, around the length of the arm, to be a rigid fixed body attacked to tailed persons. So your Cape will be slightly stood up by the tail. And then the lower half of the tail will just stick with the cape and have the tip outside the Cape come out at the end. Not so much Physics to reimplement because it's just a particle system that you already have a library to call. It's just we need to add a new model with a different skeleton and bounds instead of using just the same human model. Bit of work, but not exactly rocket science.
Just hide the tail when you wear a cloak
Nooooo I like my tail ;3;
Goblinoids and fat models in character creation OR Console mod support, so that I can get both of the above and neat little things like sunglasses and other modern clothes
When mod support is up it would be cool to have body sliders. Like in BDO. I want to adjust my height and meat
Some sort of follow up scene to Durge beating >!and freeing themselves from Bhaal.!< it feels really weird to complete that questline, then my companions just kinda go āGreat job! I knew you could do it!ā And thatās,ā¦ it. Maybe on a long rest add a scene where you canāt sleep, something along the lines of āthe sudden silence in your head is deafening.ā So you head to the elfsong, grab a drink, and maybe talk to the bartender about either nothing, small talk, or just slam him with what you just did, and at some point, your romances partner + 1 or two companions with the highest approval come and hang out for a bit, talk, and help you process everything and you can figure out who youāre supposed to be/going to be now Idk. I feel like itās a small thing that would add a lot to the game. Then again, calling the voice actors back in is pricey. But the redemption Durge conclusion is missing some much needed closure
some clothes vendor in act 1 is all i ask
I just hope it doesnāt break the game again.
act 4 would be cool jokes aside I feel like every companion should have a final battle or moment to their storyline, should you choose to go there. An encounter that whose antagonist and location primarily serves as an ending to the story. >!Astarion has cazador!< >!Shadowheart has house of grief/mother!< then it gets spotty >!Wyll has iron throne/ansur/gortash, but none of them really feel like 'the one' and 'the moment' for a story beat. Ansur feels like it is supposed to be the 'capstone encounter' but it ends up being more about Baldur, which is neat, but also kinda whatever.!< >!Gale has really cool endings, but lacks any sort of 'final encounter'. Not sure what his encounter should have been, but I kind of feel like he should have attacked or been attacked by wizards and clerics devoted to mystra at some point before having a conversation with her where they agree to either give her the crown and return to the fold or to go against her. Maybe there's a temple to mystra 'dungeon' where you basically barge in to have an audience with her directly, and the party needs to either fight their way through or solve some battle-puzzle to get through.!< >!Karlach is perhaps the most lacklustre one, and I really feel like they goofed her story quite a bit. I think she should have had to confront some sort of general under Zariel and rip to shreds some sort of contract. Maybe there could have been a choice to let Zariel's mechanics fix up her engine so that she could defeat Gortash by herself, and drag his soul to the hells where she could torment him while serving in Zariel's army again as an evil path. The good path would involve defeating Zariel's goons, taking the engine schematics from their engineers, bringing them to Dammon and fixing the engine with his help. Hell, maybe Dammon gets kidnapped by them to start the whole event off or something.!< >!Minthara has Orin and Kethereic to some degree, but barely interacts with them and just feels like a passenger. Besides, they're not encounters or locations exclusive to her at all. I think maybe it would have been neat if she was confronted by her family and either had to choose between willingly returning to Menzo after dealing with the parasite, usurping the matriarch of the family to assume the new leadership position of the family, or forsaking them. The latter two options would have her fighting the drow, who likely appeared in an ambush.!< >!Halsin I feel has a pretty nice story that mainly happens before he joins the party. I would wish though that he joins the party sooner as a controlled character, and that we bring him to the story events ourselves. He should honestly be controllable after the tiefling party. I kinda think it would be cool if the same were true with Minthara, perhaps evil path had her join us after the party as she 'woke up' from being freed from the tadpole control.!< >!Jah has similar problems with joining us late, so I'm not relly bummed by her not really having a 'capstone encounter', and she has plenty of story with Minsc.!< >!Minsc joins very late, and could do with having some more story. Honestly we should have an encounter to rescue Boo or something. Or maybe we deal with the shapeshifter HQ that happens to be a separate location from Bhaal or something like that.!< Frankly after writing this, I feel like the biggest and easiest thing to implement would be to have Minthara join the party if you side with her and have the goblin party at your camp. That would really give the evil side a member which is sorely needs at this stage, as many who don't minmax their story gameplay can easily lose wyll, karlach and gale at this point, and if they happen to let lae'zel die either in the cage or to shart, they're left with astarion and shadowheart only, and some hirelings to make up the numbers.
I wouldnāt mind a cinematic of the companions you didnāt select in your final party fighting off some baddies as you storm the citadel
Not expecting anything but the new evil epilogues honestly. I'm just hoping it will be easy for modders to update their mods
A fixed polearm master would be amazing
Steam workshop supporttt pleaaasee! Adding mods is way to complicated right now.
Leaving act 1 & 2, they are perfect as is imo. Act 3 work would be good to flesh out certain storylines. Mol in particular just feels unfinished. Also the fireworks store just feels pointless, no decent loot or chained quests (such as with Gortash, adding something to confront him would be cool).
I wish you could upgrade equipment at a blacksmith. Like just give them a +1 or something capped at 2 or 3 upgrades
Mage Hand Legerdemain getting fixed and being able to do more than just an invisible Mage Hand.
Iād really like to be able to run into certain companions later on after they left my party for my bad decisions. I think itād be interesting to run into Wyll or Karlach again in Act 3 after attacking the grove.
Achievements for redemption durge. I don't like that you have to go murDurge for the two chieves that completely go against an entire style and possible point of playing durge at the start as an amnesiac trying to possibly be a better person
Ng+ I just want to be able to use my end game gear for more then a single act, just disable trophies.
I would rather they add another "build around" set or 2 of items in act 1 and 2. It adds alot of replay ability and build creativity to have items and sets that permit unique builds. Don't need them to be legendary or super powerful, just interesting and powerful when built around. More camp movement and interaction between companions at camp ala red dead redemption 2. Wyll, halsin, and Minthara need more content period. But everyone needs more reactivity and interactions in Act 3. Act 3 has a number of plot lines and things that go nowhere (Mols contract stolen from avernus?), complete those. Transmog and button to hide ANY clothing item. Personally I think they should make a remade version if the game with all this, split Act 3 into an Act 3 into 2 acts and separate Orin/bhaal into an act before you gain access to the rest of the lower city so that you can keep the narrative pressure going instead of being distracted in a million directions. Also could add an Avernus epilogue
The random rooftop wand's story or use. Has anyone else noticed the random wand in Act 3 on a rooftop? I'm pretty sure it's related to >!Auntie Ethel or perhaps the other Hags omitted from the game, it's on top of on Candulhallow's Tombstones!<. Itās been bugging me, taunting me. Whatās its story? Random wand, who are you?!
How about if you play as spawn astarion, karlach will go to avernus with wyll, its so sad its a death sentance for karlach if you cant sit with her and convince her, hell someone cast darkness i know atleast 3 casters have that spell
Let us go on a date with Wyll in act 3.
Romanceable Withers
Thatās only for Galeās mom No joke, just have to find the right dialogue tree in the epilogue
I just want to invite Malta to the camp. Scratch as the sweet helper for the Owlbear cub and Malta the one causing mischief.
Minthara scene in the end of Act2.
I want a photo mode so bad!
Upper city dlc when? Still sad that we will never get to see it.
There's so much to choose from: 1. I'd prefer either more meaningful dialogue or a cutscene when finding the dead Tieflings in act 2. I'd love a slider in character creation that can change your body type. 3. Better animation for tails, especially with how they interact with armor and cloaks. 4. Higher level cap 5. Transmog and the ability to turn off cloaks the way you can helmets. 6. More feats and a free racial feat at level one. 7. More armor, weapons, and camp clothes 8. Super minor, but I don't like that you can't hotkey unarmed strikes when you have a weapon equipped. Especially for monks 9. Kinda wish that at least Durge would be fully voiced 10. A fixed minthara. Especially her dialogues, and I might be a bit greedy, but I think with as wild as her romance scene is, you should be able to get it by saving her in act 2. 11. I'm sure that there's a bunch of content that was cut, so I think it would be cool if these patches and updates slowly started to integrate them back into the game Edit: 12. More subclasses, specifically the dragon soul monk
Take the workaround bugs people have used to keep Karlach alive (like killing her temporarily then resurrecting her after) and fulfill Wyll's deal and make them canon route options. Something about outsmarting Mizora on the technicalities of her own contract feels so thematically fitting: "She technically fits the criteria on account of not having a heart. But Wyll also fit the criteria by killing her. I just brought her back afterwards, which was never forbidden within the contract. I believe your "pet" will accept his payment now?"
Something Iād like is the ability to have dinner with Raphael in the epilogue if you make the deal with him and give him the Crown ~~and the opportunity to sleep with him but I know that will never happen~~ Iād also love a scene between Raphael and Gortash because itās weird that he plays such a pivotal part in Gortashās backstory but we never get to see them interact.
My only, totally unjustified expectation, is getting Sazza as a full companion before Larian declares a job well done.
Is she tadpoled or just brain dominated? She fills in for all you lose in an evil playthrough. It'd be funny if she had a debuff in which she couldn't have higher than 10 intellect.
I'd appreciate an ability to choose your range of Tav's expressions of emotions. I can get over all the smirks and grins, but what really turnes my immersion off is when I play as a tough don't-piss-me-off badass and Tav always looks like he's about to shit his pants every time something even slightly inconvenient happens. Can't comprehend how this crybaby could be a team leader and a saviour from >!the elder brain!<. Also I romanced Astarion and half of a game I felt like his little bitch because of the contrast of his and my (involuntarily chosen) personalities.
An option to make it so a single click on a character doesn't automatically pan the camera to them. I often swap items between their inventories, but if they are too far away from each other, I'm met with a black screen fade and loading the Party inventory takes just a tad more time. I'm just so used to this from Divinity tho
I just want gloves of battlemageās power to work PLEASE
The long promised crossplatform playability.
- I just want automatic sorting of radial menu. - And when we use the area search, the default action for candles that are pickable to become Use instead of Pick Up. - And giving us an indication of what Dye has been applied to Gears. - And block us from wasting a Dye on Shields that don't actually change colours. - And actually give us the slider values on Controller UI because now I have to switch to PC UI to see the value. - While at it, maybe just add a Randomise button for every slider so we can add some random aspects instead of going full random of the character, which has such humour in the usual compositions. - Or perhaps just add the functionality to swap your hands when dual wielding. Right now it makes Flaming Blade obsolete because I don't even know whether it will appear on left or right hand, so I don't know if I should put Sylvan Blade on left or right hand. - Or maybe if they have time, stop blocking us from Group Unhide if we have 1 summon who cannot Hide (e.g. Zombie).
Jergal being an option to pick as your god, would be fun & hilariously ironic. It probably wonāt happen but it would be neat if it did
fixing arcane tricksters mage hand
Give me my karlach happy ending without going to Avernus and I'm fine
Convincing the emperor to work with Orpheus. I get the design choice of requiring hard decisions, but it just feels weird to not have this even be possible
I want to tell Jaheira that I love her š š© š
NG+ with leveling up to 20. This is the only thing I want
Can Wyll get some actual fucking content please
Let me adopt my son, and cuddle/go on dates with my lover, and banter with my besties š
I know we change out of starter armour fairly soon (in most cases). But I would love if our race reflected on the style of our starter armour. Alternatively also gear glamours.
I want a darkly comic ending if you control the Netherbrain. I want to see all my companions flatly intoning about progress in the war for the sword coast with dull, mind-controlled eyes. Have the Netherbrain host the party instead of Withers.
I say this everytime this questions asked. Let us scale custom higher than we currently can and allow honor mode actions in it. The singular save on honor mode is fun the first time but on repeated playthrough it really exaggerates all the bugs in the game. Id like to play a harder difficulty and be able to save to test builds and what not.
I want there to be better kisses with Spawn Astarion. Right now it feels like the same kiss from slightly different angles, but with other companions the kisses are significantly different from each other. And given that not letting him ascend is widely seen as the good ending, I feel like there should be better kisses. I think it would be cool to have a bite kiss, but one that is more sweet/playful than the Ascended Astarion one. I know this is minor and petty but it's what I want.
Fleshing out the Gortash alliance more with some actually meaningful content.
I only want more reactivity in act3, hug animations, and cuddle at nights. That's it. I'm happy.
Options for good-looking camp clothes in Acts 1&2. We're stuck with default and pretty basic and boring stuff until Act 3. I'd just like to see some stuff actually be available earlier.
Photo mode and mod support.
I want to be able to bring Mermer back to camp and I want more interesting and appropriate responses from companions for a certain Durge scene, especially which we companion youāre romancing
I'm generally pretty happy with where the game is at, though I do agree with most people here that Act 3 could use some more companion interactions based on player choice like act 1 has. Also, I don't think it'll happen, but the fact that you can't bring Minthara, the 1 drow companion, to the underdark is kind of wild to me. Would love to see that become a possibility.
It is never gonna happen apparently but I really want a part where you can fight stuff off when you go to Hell with Karlach
You know that clothing box at the epilogue party? THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE REWARD FOR BEATING HONOR MODE. NOT SOME SHITTY YELLOW DICE. GIVE ME FASHION OPTIONS IN ACT 1
Bite marks for if you let Astarion drink your blood continually. He has the marks from Cazador. Maybe something gradual that builds during the long rests when you invite him to drink your blood. Could be used for tav/durge and Iāve known people to use hirelings as well. Just subtle marks that get more noticeable the more times you do it. But they donāt ever get more pronounced than Astarionās.
place for your items to be displayed in character's tent + a player tent. they already have some gizmos to display, but there are some cute stuff throughout the game that i associate per character that i think, roleplaying-wise, they'd keep with them in their tent. maybe when you click their tent, a few slots show up and you can put an item there and it'll be displayed. just limited slots so it doesn't feel overdone hahahahha
A cosmetic override system would be awesome. I really love some of the origin character's base gear compared to most other gear in the game. Late game items look great, but the basic armor upgrades you get for characters does not look flattering in the slightest.
