How are everyone’s stories coming along? Have you finished the game? If so how many times?
What tips, remarks or other things of note do you have that you want to discuss here?
As always try to keep things as spoiler free as possible.
Also should I do these posts more regularly (shows up on people’s feeds more and so has more traction) or like this is fine. Definitely don’t want to spam people.
Lucky rolls to you all!
After seeing an article about dark urge and how special it is I decided to give it a shot. I also read a comment on here saying romance between Shadowheart and Seluna’s cleric MC is great. So I decided to combine those two things for my 3rd playthrough! ( i have yet to experience act 2 btw…think I have a problem)
I made a Seldarine drow with the idea being that she used to be bloodthirsty Lolth sworn but eventually she found Seluna and became her cleric, now she’s trying to be better. I thought that worked well with heroic dark urge story I wanted and I get to experience the enemies to lovers relationship with shadowheart. Don’t know if the way the story will unravel will validate my headcanoned backstory for her but so far I’m quite enjoying it.
This is also the first playthrough where I met Timber the squirrel, I didn’t know he was in the game before this playthrough, I was kinda excited to meet him…yeah.
Im at the end of my durge run rn. My advice would be to not shy away from doing evil things despite what other people say about losing out on content. You really dont miss that much, and you get some pretty sweet cutscenes, especially if you commit to it. Plus, astarion and minthara will support you the entire way on your descent into darkness :)
You know I would do that if for nothing else than just for the sake of variety, but I’m such a coward >.> Just don’t have the stomach for it lol. The idea of this messed up person redeeming themselves is appealing to me, I’m not doing 100% “goody two shoes” kinda character but more of a reluctant hero who’s still bit of a dick. Maybe I’ll start another playthrough where I play the way you’re suggesting…I’ll never experience act 2 at this rate <.<
If it helps, if you give in to the urge you unlock special powers and stuff.
Closing in on 100 hours and I still haven’t finished the game lol. Could I? Yes. Will I? No. I’m exploring every nook and cranny and doing every damn quest I can. This game is just too good not too.
Yeah, it took me almost 150h to finish my first playthrough, and instead of touching grass, i started a new one.
Probably close to 40 hours now and ive just reached the goblin camp and im trying to plan how i want to deal with the goblins
Yeah, I hit a wall I can’t overcome; Shadowheart or Karlach?
I only just started act 2 but she’s already asked me to fight her. I won and I think she’s even more into me now.
I chose Shart on my first playthrough because she was kinda nice? And Lae’zel and Astarion were both kinda dicks. On my next playthrough I’ll try Karlach first, I think I’ll fall in love immediately.
I am over 100hrs and made it to the Last Light. Exciting. Really enjoying it.
