Orpheus or emperor?

I just started act 3 and I’m a bit confused. I’m currently trying to romance laezel and I really want to try get the best possible ending with her.

What exactly are Paladins?

Hi everyone. I'm completely knew to Baulder's Gate and the DnD world. So I was wondering if someone could explain a few basic things to me:.I'm currently a drow lolth sworn bard and I've just finished the Emerald Grove quest. And while it's fun I'm thinking of switching my class with the guy at the camp given it's not very expensive to do, and I'm thinking of going Paladin.Now, when I think 'Paladin' I think of some kind of knight but for a holy order or a specific god.

About the Emperor and Orpheus

I'll say right away that this is not a debate about who is better, just information.Lately, I've often been told that the Emperor is evil only because the illithids in the bestiary are monsters and are lawful evil. So the githyanki were also monsters in the D&D bestiary for the first time (and apparently they are still in the monster category: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Monster_Manual_5th_edition ) and are lawful evil. I mean, it's somehow wrong to operate with this information, given that both races are in the same position he . . .

Wake me up when September starts

Question from user ozangeo at BaldursGate3 at reddit.com.Answer:Ooh, publicly announcing that level of testing suggests that they’re going to add modding tools with some interesting functionality. I don’t think they’d need to do that for something simpler like bringing mods to ps5. This might mean that the chance we get tools that will let you create new maps - quests - encounters has increased significantly.Answer from user MazzMyMazz at BaldursGate3 at reddit.com. . . .

Why can't I like BG3?

I have heard a lot about BG3, and never played it, for many reasons.Yet because it is so popular, I just can’t let it go. “It’s not for me” doesn’t work so well when the game apparently is for millions of other players. If it isn’t for me, then ‘me’ has to be broken, in some way, right? Especially if I've played several CRPGS.As an outsider, here are my issues:.1) DND 5e.I’m a veteran TTRPG player. Mostly in the Pathfinder side of things; both 1e (based on DND 3.5) and 2e. My CRPG gaming started with Neverwinter Nights, based . . . [More]

BG3 map is incredibly small.

The entire Wilderness map grid is 310 squares from top to bottom. .As each D&D grid square is 1,5 meters, it means the map is only 465 meters from top to bottom.If we consider it's 465 meters wide, that gives us 216 thousand square meters.That's only 0.216 square km. .For comparison, Skyrim map is 37 square km.You would need 185 Wilderness maps to have the size of Skyrim's map.Question from user RogerPennaAces at BaldursGate3 at reddit.com.Answer:congrats, you figured out that open world ARPGs and zone-based CRPGs with theme park level composit . . .
