Aren’t most of the companions and Tav/Durge variations of the same story though? Powerful figure abuses their authority and takes away agency. Shar with Shadowheart, Zariel with Karlach, Mystra with Gale, Bhaal with Durge, Emperor with Tav.

I’m certain there are many fanfics and chat bots that have explored it thoroughly.

Nah, it definitely helps you pass checks. Nat 1s remove any modifier you might have to a roll, so you’ll always have a 5% chance to fail something you otherwise mathematically couldn’t.

Let’s say it’s a DC 10 persuasion, I’ve got 5 from Cha, 3 from proficiency, and 3 from expertise. Can’t fail. Except if I roll a 1, then none of those modifier (the things my character is built for) apply.

I can see why, I just watched it and the host is not very entertaining.

Love all your work, might have scrolled back through your history by a solid year+ earlier today when you posted.

The first time I saw Casado, after hearing from Astarion how scary and intimidating he was for the whole game up to that point, I was like “…Him?”

I remember seeing all the meat on the pit in the goblin camp and picking it all up for rations. Didn’t read what kind of meat it was until I realized it didn’t go into the camp supply pack…

Powderkegger1

I’ve seen that camp in screenshots and videos but never in game. Where is it?

Powderkegger1

I wonder if Karlach’s body is still where I left it…

Powderkegger1

Will you elaborate?

Powderkegger1

Whichever you feel is more important. Nobody is going to come check, it’s really just a date for you.

Powderkegger1

I’d be interested to see if you still feel that way about PG later in the series.

Alternatively:

“Oh, no. I tried doing that once and somehow he knew. He started shouting about ‘doing my own research’ and then the kryptonite came out…”

Powderkegger1

Is that his knee? His chest?

I’m pretty new to both subs (I just got the game two months ago and it’s become a second full time job) but I’ve noticed there’s more overlap in energy between this sub and its jerk than other pairs.

Powderkegger1

That Phalar Aluve trick is cool as hell.

Powderkegger1

Hmmm. Speak with animals could be an item, she gets tons of toys from the gods anyway.

As for a connection to the gods, you could just headcanon that. I personally find it weird that in BG3 only clerics get a deity, why couldn’t a monk be religious? Or in this case a semi-divine being themselves.

Powderkegger1

Honestly, could just do monk. A short sword is very appropriate for her, she could use the Bracers of Defense in place of her bracelets, and the movement abilities monks get could stand in for her speed/flying.

Powderkegger1

“No, but like seriously, it’s actually a wolf this time I swear.”

Powderkegger1

I just literally smacked my own forehead.

Disguise Self! Of course!

Powderkegger1

Wyll is only good for an origin run.

Years ago I was trying to sell my then brother-in-law on Skyrim and he wasn’t interested because “it’s not even real” like his precious COD games. I truly could not wrap my head around the need for a VIDEOGAME to be loosely based on reality.

He turned out to be a super creep and a MAGAt and my sister divorced his ass. And I was totally super sorry to hear I’d never have to speak to him again.
