The Ketheric persuasion checks are pointless anyway, the first series of checks on the roof get interrupted by Aylin and you just get a few extra lines of dialogue out of it. Passing the checks in the colony will let you skip the first phase but this is far from ideal since Myrkul is a far bigger threat and all you did was make the fight needlessly harder by making him appear early.
Agreed, the only consumables worth having on hand at all times are healing pots and potions of speed (because losing concentration on hasted fucking sucks).
Not entirely pointless. You only have to fight him on the roof if you pass all the checks. Down below, he will off himself which brings Myrkul out immediately.
My bad, thought I did.Please read the entire post next time
He constantly bitches about "WHY AM I IN TURN BASED MODE, THESE MORONS DIDN'T FOLLOW ME, WHAT THE FUCK HOW STUPID"
He just wants it to be an action RPG because there's a chance the game just lets him through after he bangs his head against the wall enough times despite the fact that he doesn't engage with over half of the game's mechanics, he can't do that with a cRPG like BG3. That's why he compares it with Soulslikes, he beat every FromSoftware Souls game despite only grasping how about 1/3 of the mechanics work, he beat both Nioh games despite the fact that he never used stances or active skills. He would've beaten those games faster if he engaged with their mechanics, but that requires using a wee bit of brainpower and he can't have that, not to mention that the games let him Grug smash his way through them once enough time passes so there's no need. For fuck's sake in Elden Ring he was 70 hours in when he asked the question "What is an Ash of War?"
Agreed with @JimiHendrix, Kingmaker does sound awesome conceptually but it drags on way too long in my opinion, apparently you're looking at a minimum investment of 120 hours just to beat it and frankly the juice ain't worth the squeeze. I tapped out at hour 30. Wrath of the Righteous I enjoyed. If BG3 is your babby's first cRPG I suggest you play the first 2 ones, they're classics, as well as Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 which are Larian's previous games, they're awesome. Planescape Torment is an absolute banger as well, it's not difficult and it has a great setting and story. Some other classics I personally recommend are Neverwinter Nights, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, Fallout 1 (THEY DON'T MAKE GAMES LIKE THIS ANYMORE BECAUSE GAME DEVELOPERS ARE TOO BUSY BEING SISSIES THAT GET FUCKED IN THEIR ASS! IMMA BEAT YO MONKEY ASS) and 2 (I also like Tactics but it's a bit of a mixed bag) and the Ultima series.
I admit this won't sound like a glowing endorsement because it's prefaced by "I dropped out around the middle of the game" but I thought Wrath of the Righteous was a huge step up from Kingmaker. And Kingmaker itself wasn't even bad necessarily, just rough around the edges in a lot of places. I feel like a lot of people stopped Kingmaker because it just sort of petered out as opposed to being an outright bad game. But yeah, what I played of Wrath was good, and the main reason I stopped was time limitations/having a hard time jumping back in once I had a little more free time to dedicate to it. Pathfinder is a lot crunchier than 5e, so you need more focus compared to BG3.
Level cap in BG3 is 12, which can be a bit disappointing since you're most likely going to be at least lvl 9/10 by the end of act 2.
Pigroach luck strikes again, fucker got the God of Hate in his party. Oddly appropriate...
