Infuriating plot point

Is anyone else infuriated by the way the tadpoles are handled? We're told from the outset that these things are bad, like as bad as you can get. Literally no reason you would want them at all, but after a couple of long rest, somebody you've never met before who saved your life once says it's ok, because the light people need your help and "I'll protect you". This thing is eating my brain and you want me to add more!? As soon as I knew I had one of those things in my head my immediate goal was to try and get it removed . . . [More]

Is there a way to tell how much extra heal and shield power you have?

I am playing Soraka in League of Legends and her main role is to heal her allies, so shes buys items to help. Some of the best items for Soraka are items that give more healing power for example the item Redemption:Redemption LoL item. If you look at the third stat it gives it says, +20% heal and shield power many other items also offer this. In the champions sidebar you can see all their stats and abilities, but I can't find extra heal and shield power anywhere.

Is the Infini-Lift Lightspeed worth it?

In Tiny Tower (iOS), is the Infini-Lift Lightspeed worthwhile? It's fairly expensive at 499 Bux. Does it have any special features or is it just faster? Question from user cagcowboy at stackexchange. Answer: In a word: Yes. It is so incredibly fast. Even better, it's much easier to actually stop at the target floor (even if it's floor 2). For some reason, it's also easier to read the floor numbers. (Personally, I also think it looks better than the previous elevator, but that might just be me.). It does take a . . . [More]

How to test if The Digital Deluxe Edition is active in Baldurs Gate 3?

I bought The Digital Deluxe Edition with the game. Then, I refunded the game, but not The Digital Deluxe Edition - it was my silent protest against it not working properly on SteamDeck despite its "??Verified" status. Now I re-bought the game, I have it installed with the "The Digital Deluxe Edition" as DLC, but Larian launcher still prompts me to buy "The Digital Deluxe Edition Upgrade". So, how can I verify in the game if it is installed and available? Where should I find the content it promises? I'm at th . . . [More]

Do You Multi-Class At Higher Levels Or Just Whenever?

I’ve been trying to figure out how to multi-class since I see so much about it on here. Just figured out where the button to do it is. My party is lvl 5 or 6 right now. When is the time in the game it actually makes sense to try to multi class? I figured you’d need at least 5 or 6 in the base class before you branch out, but maybe I’m wrong. Question from user TychoCelchu1 at BaldursGate3 at reddit. Answer: the ability to multi-class becomes available at character creation or upon reaching level 3. When it comes to . . . [More]

Just entered A3 for the first time. Is this event broken?

I just started Act 3 and found a barn with stuff for the refugees. I convinced Manip Nestor to let me in the barn and I found a chest full of trapped toys. I disarmed the traps and this starts a quest about the toys. Immediately after, Manip Nestor runs to me. I explain about the toys and he says "how do I know you're not the one who trapped them?" and goes hostile, together with the other Flaming Fists around. It feels like I should have gotten a chance to reply, especially because his dialogue is actually cut short, it& . . . [More]

Astarion hates me?

Help, Astarion dislikes everything i do and every decision i make. Do i need to be a bad person in order him to like me? I love helping people and speaking to animals (i'm a druid) but he seems to hate all that ?. Question from user crystalia414 at BaldursGate3 at reddit. Answer: You can definitely romance him as a good character! However, he will disapprove if you show concern towards characters he deems as weak.

Is 2 ranks in V.A.N.S. better than 2 ranks in Perception Training?

Let's say I wanted +2 Perception. I could. Put two points into Perception. Put two points into VANS; the second rank gives you +2 Perception. Seems like for 2 points I could have +2 Perception, or I could have +2 Perception and bonus VANS pathfinding. VANS pathfinding isn't the best perk, but is there any downside to taking 2 ranks of VANS instead of 2 ranks of Perception? Question from user Schwern at stackexchange.

What are your worst dice roll experiences?

Last night, I was lockpicking something with 20 DC. I have +12 in bonuses and the 1d4 guidance roll. So essentially, on any roll, I have +13-17 bonus, which means the dice would have to roll a 6 or lower for me to fail against 20 DC. I failed 4 straight times. Frustrating, to say the least ??. Question from user Random-reddit-name-1 at BaldursGate3 at reddit. Answer: Remember that roll to get Shadowheart out of the pod, on the nautiloid, where you need a 2? Both Laezel and I failed that Illithid check with a 1 - critical failure. . . . [More]
