That's cool, but I hope it doesn't auto update on my PS5, because I'm still on Act 2 and took a break. Worried this will break my mods again and I'll have to start over. I think I'm on my third unfinished run at this point.

Thanks, I did that and I hope it works. PS5 often updates games even if you have updates turned off. Not sure if that happens with BG3 but I'll soon find out I guess.

Can you mod on the PS5?

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 1y (1 reply)

yes. i use a mod that adds extra bags for arrows, potions, explosives, books, and the shit you pick up goes there automagically.

Oh shit good call, I'm in the same boat. I have like 100 hours and I'm still at the end of Act 1. Had to take a break, but it's a hard game to come back to after a while.

Slaxis@discuss.tchncs.de · 6 pts · 1y (1 reply)

How can you have that much time without having finished act 1? Is it from multiple saves? You can totally clean out everything there is to do in act 1 in about a third of that time.

prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 14 pts · 1y

Some save scumming. A couple of false starts. Once or twice where I played a few hours before realizing that I fucked up several hours prior.

Yes, I know this is not how the game is meant to be played. No, I do not care.

Man Ioved BG3 but I'm hard pressed to play again. First run was resist Dark Urge. Is there any other storyline to follow that's worth another ton of hours?

Suru@mander.xyz · 33 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Honestly, all of the origins storylines are very much worth playing as well. Actually playing as the character adds a lot of depth to the quest lines.

Karlach playthrough might be pretty fun!

“Is only one storyline worth playing out of dozens in a game heralded as one of the best story driven games ever made?”

Breh.

Lucky_777@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

Correct, just trying to get a path forward instead of kind of stumbling around. I usually fall into the same routine if you will during runs. Guess I could embrace Dark Urge?.

SolidShake@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 1y

Dude there's story line for several playthroughs. Different races, actions, party etc all change the game dialog.

teft@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 1y

I have over a thousand hours in BG3 and i still find new stuff sometimes. Far less often now but still. You’ll find plenty of new story in a second or N+1 run.

what are you mad at? This is bg3, a "rigid computer game", what does wotc's physical books have to do with a free update?

It's a pre-written balanced set of classes to try out, it's not a requirement to play d&d and you can also just homebrew your own stuff. I don't see how shouting at the sky about an optional purchaseable module helps

How is more options a bad thing?

Isn't this a free patch?

caseofthematts@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y (7 replies)

Believe they're talking about in D&D, the TTRPG itself.

prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 10 pts · 1y (6 replies)

Oh OK. And here I thought I was in a thread about a video game 😉

It doesn't make much sense, does it?

Eh, I’d allow it; it’s tangentially related and a complaint about capitalism. Win-win.
