Party members that nobody uses

Step aside

biceps bigger than his fucking head

less str than shart

make way for the OG druid that nobody takes because you already have Jaheira

Initially the whole reason people liked him was because he was the only person in the game that unreservedly had your back and was willing to help the second he found about about the problem.

How is that any different to the current version of the game?

halsin seriously reads like some writer's self insert or fantasy daddy. the fact he abandons the grove to join you makes no fucking sense, he could have ordered the angry retard lady to go with you instead as a means of rediscovering her druidic oath and penance, or whatever the fuck

It's less that and more by the time he'll join your party, you're pretty comfortable with the other dorks you have. I didn't really touch Halsin, Minthara, or Minsc at all because they don't let you play with them until halfway through the game, and only used Jahira when hunting for Minsc.
There isn't much problems they can solve that others aren't already doing.

because you already have Jaheira

No one uses Jaheira in BG1.
No one uses Faldorn either but still.

I haven't played the EA version, but from what I've heard

he was just a character for the grove arc originally

some people (women mostly I guess) really liked him and wanted to fuck him

devs added him as a party member super late so he has no story relevance

but ironically the horny stuff, esp the bear scene, helped a lot with boosting the game's popularity

It's less that and more by the time he'll join your party, you're pretty comfortable with the other dorks you have

Not really. In Act 1, my party will be something like

Lae'zel, Shadowheart, Karlach or Astarion

I don't feel strongly about the third slot at all, and that means I can easily fit Halsin into my party.
I guess everyone else feels differently if they can't find space for Halsin.

i don't like him

You'd know how far you are from the truth if you had a gamer gf.

Poshul is a girl.

He goes with you because he wants to lift the Shadow curse. He will stay behind if you don't lift it and proceed to Act 3.

I don't like her

I dont get why they let you bring him to your camp in act 1 but refuse to have him join the party until much later. I didnt agree to bring him to have a fucking leech, I needed another meatshield and I cant tell him to step up or fuck off

hello

No, child, these are your delusions speaking.
Enjoy prison.

this guy plays video games to self-insert as a ragie wagie

geg

I like how ESL messages either sound like a prophecy or a random string generator. Like, is there no access to chatGPT in your country? It can proofread messages for you.

Hate VA

Hate redheaded men

Hate dwarves

Yep, dropped him pretty quick.

A complaint I have with BG3 and all Larian games at heart is that they really don't have any idea how to AI program some classes, so you end up typically with a slice of a few certain types of enemies you fight all the time. The only rogues in BG3 are you and your party.

The only rogues in BG3 are you and your party.

There's lots of Rogues in Act 3, but I guess you didn't play that far. The Bhaal cultists love to disappear.

also most people will get him super late and hes a >warrior

Jaheira was one of the most used characters in I which is why she was brought back for II.

I use him because I enjoy gay bear sex.

Literally don't get why they bothered with him when Jaheira's a party member and a million times more soulful

Fuck you. I liked him.

Oh hi Mark

No, stalker, there is no ESL here.
Yes, stlaker, I do have AI, and no child, I did not use it, these are yet more of your criminal delusions speaking. A six figure author has no need of such things.
This is why your life is already over, atalker.
Enjoy prison.

Worship BHAALZ

Are actually total cowards

What did they mean by this?

mages are OP as fuck in DA:O

Wynne

Dr. Chocolates

What is with Bioware and blue-balling us hagfags?

Can you hit her for even proposing it?

The cultists of bhaal are like one small part of the game at that point, and even then, their rogue kit is only "we go invisible". 4 rogue classes and all they do is slit their wrists.
This problem extends far more to casters though. Most NPCs have just a handful of spells and then generic fireball. You have too much counterspell control as the player even on higher difficulties to really fear them. Clerics are more annoying simply because they have death ward and you can't wipe them in the same turn. Also, practically nobody uses the special arrows at all either.

Aren't there duergar rogues in the underdark? Plus the whole bandit hideout in act 1?

Aren't there duergar rogues in the underdark?

he thinks those are Rogues and doesn't know Duergar can turn invisible as a racial

unknowledgeable alert

Hit shadowheart

Shadowheart disapproves

Romance stolen

This place really is filled with sandniggers isn't it

Almost as soon as once he's available, all the plot quests that concern him are already over. He basically becomes irrelevant after Act II. And in Act III, he gets targeted by you-know-who, so overall he's basically unavailable all game.

I had Jaheira in my party for finding Minsc, and then together with Minsc for fighting their old friend.

However, Minthara was in my party from the moment I got her in Act II, because she was beautiful and her comments were funny. Female players might feel similarly about Halsin, but not me.

No, child. Enjoy lurking.

Fatrick pls

because she was beautiful and her comments were funny.

While correct, having the only paladin available in the party is an absolute godsend when facing undead.

Minthara: come (cum) for the Drowjobs, stay for clowning on J.K. Simmons and Balderan's butt-buddy.

meds

Faldorn is the only character that can get level 5 spells in BG1 so she's probably more used than characters like Eldoth or Skie. I was also going to say Garrick but I assume new players use him

Minthara was great. It's a shame that the playerbase was too pussy to accept murdering the refugees to get her and Larian caved. It's also a shame that there's hardly any content for going evil in the first place anyway. I thought the game was awesome in act 2 because I beelined for the baddies base with minthara only to find out you can be a good guy and get all their shit without a struggle anyway

3rd warrior in a game that has 5 warrior like characters, including dog and Shale
Second mage and comes with healer spec, she's probably one of the most used characters. She's better than Morrigan in that both of her specs can be useful while shapeshifting is always garbage

The only people who used Jaheira were idiots that went where the game told you to.
She sucks as a party member.

this is all real except losing relationship points

Added to your party late-game

She's level 1

party members that nobody uses

Actually true, Halsin and Wyll are less romanced than FUCKING MINTHARA.

Girls like Shart, Gale and Astarion IME

It's because he's black.

Pretty sure no one used her, she joins right before the final dungeon, and has no personality besides "I like coffee lmao"

Wynne is great though.
Hardest character to kill on a kill everyone playthrough.

girls like every male character except wyll

Pretty sure no one used her

You would when you encounter enemies weak to psy

Meanwhile

Mfw my only reward for finding dead whore is sex with poser pleb drow whores when I'm already banging a drow princess or whatever.

leon in final fantasy 2 he was too weak so i let him stay dead

no joke she is the most bland girl in that game

white pantyhose

negative ass

so retarded

What were they thinking?

Too bad they're also all cunts who don't know when to shut up

I cheated and i made his sword stat 99 and he killed the last boss in 1 hit. at that point i was sick of the game with the trap rooms with high random encounters. My MVP was Guy ofc. He was consistently good all the game.

There are a few decisions Larian made with BG3 that still have me scratching my head so very often that I basically have a divot in the side of my head the size of a large grapefruit.

making Minthara a Paladin makes no fucking sense. Originally she was supposed to be a Cleric. Both of these sound awful, but Larian went with the worst choice. A Paladin of Vengeance is basically a Batman who opts to kill. But isn't someone who's fucking evil either. Even IF we took Minthara's lame fucking excuse of "the tadpole made do it" (Dyrge shouldn't have to break his Oath with anything if that's the case) then how does one explain the fact that she still remains obviously evil after the tadpole is burned out of her skull? Bitch basically guilt trips Dyrge for not taking over the Absolute

Making Halsin a party member and not Kagha. But worse than that, not even letting Halsin be a party member until Act 3. Holy shit, if you're going to hamfist a character as a party member into the game at the last minute, at least let me use him for more than one act. We already have Minsc for that asinine nonsense. How hard could it have been to let us use Halsin in Act 2? And speaking of Minsc...

Not letting us get a hold of Minsc or Jaheira until Act 3. What the fuck were they thinking?

the armor economy. 'nuff said

I want to find whomever decided that Karlach HAS to finger my anus in Act 3 and stab them in the dick with an AIDS-infected pencil

The only black companion in Mass Effect

Also the only companion who cheats on Shepard if you romance him

What did Bioware mean by this?

Sophia

Not albel nox who 90% of people who played the game didn't even know you could recruit

not the absolute dogshit that is adray

At least Sophia was a good mage and she catches up fast.

that’s also real lmao

Shadowheart disapproves

Everybody memes about gay bear sex

Meanwhile us straight bear sex enjoyers are left starving

She openly admits having sexual fantasies of Halsin.

Hey guys did you know

Every sentence wyll spouts makes me wonder is he intentionally made cringe?

like the corporate said "add 1 nigger companion or we're gonna send mossad after your children" and they begrudgingly made him the worst on purpose

He was very different and much more complex in the EA version but then someone told Larian "wtf you can't do that with a token" and they dialed him the fuck down and sanded off all the edges.

I suppose its a benefit that the player has easy time picking between 3-5 decent companions and always just leave wyll behind. They wont feel like they missed out.

For me he just broke and stood in camp repeating the same line over and over again so I couldn't even recruit him
GOTY 2023

they released the final patch 8 recently so it's a good time to replay it

and his companion quest is about trying to find his father

nah I just tried to play it again and all the characters and story are still awful

IIRC the EA was supposed to be about evil companions since nobody would play them if they added evil companions after the good ones and they changed a lot of stuff after that

Willingly replaying this shit

Why would anyone do that?
BG3 really likes to waste your time without offering anything interesting
Like, seriously, I don't see how anyone can replay BG3 knowing how it'll end
I can't deny that the first act is pretty good but literally all the plot hooks it creates either go nowhere or result in a complete embarrassment
Rewriting story during Early Access just killed BG3 for me, I was pretty excited when I tried it back in 2020
It's fucking Fort Joy all over again

lets talk about your favorite companions you schizo zigger

Not even a companion

I fear that anon may be retarded

Thisi is the schizoid Russian spammer who, for two years, has frequented BG3 threads assuming they're made by bots, fyi to anyone who isn't in the know.

schizoid Russian spammer

That's not me

By not having Wyll in the party you miss out on all the other companions shitting on him too
I kind of felt bad for him

frequently spawns daemons on top of you

still puzzled to why you would hand her over to the inquisition

halsin seriously reads like some writer's self insert or fantasy daddy

he literally is
it's not a hyperbole, that is literally what happened and why he has zero chemistry with any party members

But I can't possibly hand her to the inquisition because Argenta capped her in a head.

I honestly don’t understand why you are seething so much over this webm. What’s the issue?

combat takes too long

All you did was use basic attacks and cantrips. That should take 20 seconds top for all 4 characters. Not the game’s fault that you are retarded

reaction prompt annoying

it takes less than a second to dismiss it. Even then you could just disable that specific reaction in the character menu

annoying encounter

Game gives you several hints that there are oozes in the area. Nothing was stopping you from sneaking past them

You’re literally just too retarded to play the most normie friendly system out there

to be fair for combat to be tolerable in medium difficulty you need to google build guides that make the characters OP

And deny the Emperor his daily snack?

But you did use her until you got enough other people.

Is Anon Babble still pretending BG3 is an actual game and not just a porno visual novel for women?
lmao
that's just sad even for you pathetic coomers

My rifle's getting hotter!

Is the schizo still buckbroken over a two year old porno visual novel for women?
lmao
that's just sad even for you pathetic lolcow

he was my bro

Brown coomer retard white knighting his favourite porno
sad

pretty sure shadowheart just says something like "im gonna miss looking at him" when halsin leaves the party if you dont do his quest in act 2 implying she thinks hes cute

BG3 controls and UI are terrible and I just have trouble doing what I want to do
Also BG3 in general is very slow, you can't even speed up animations and have to watch them

shadowheart's characterization makes it 'clear' through subtle dialogue clues that she's a slut and disloyal, it doesn't matter who it is, she won't have a proper relationship. You can have sex with her but you can't have a family with her.

That's what they wrote her as, and the signs of it come from a myriad number of written dialogue, voiced lines, and animations, rather than her explicitly saying anything. It's not anything specific to halsin, she lusts after everyone and does so more openly than she does with the player.

funny dwarf

Steve Bloom

relevant in the best part of the game post-Redcliffe

I don't even care that he's a 2H warrior, I still use him

Oghren, is that you talking or the liquor?

Warden, I am the liquor

back when Bioware could write

minthara wouldn't be a princess, maybe a priestess of lolth - except she abandoned lolth to worship the absolute

Probably in her near future is a poisonous spider bite that kills her

also minthara is a name dreamed up by an east indian, it has clear sanskrit influences and if you pay attention you can see their east indian influence subtly across the game.

I wonder how badly put together larians next game will be, for they have surely doubled or tripled the amount of indians they hired since bg3.

Vatnik br*ny retard brown knighting his failed streamer career

I am pretty sure most people use the starting four - tav, laz, shadowheart, astartion/gale depending on tav class.
As for halsin he was rushed in by fat yaoi cunts who wanted their “daddy”.
Now we have two druids and zero bards.

She is very strong due having a +1 psy rating by default, and since her demons do not scale at late game they become free xp.

Jogurt from the first Shining Force

obtuse recruitment requirements

is genuinely useless
