Baldur's Gate III - Spoiler Edition (please read updated OP)

Pushed on a little further in the Underdark this morning. Rescued the dimwit, snagged the flower, looted the nest, then dealt with the Duergar. Nothing fancy this time, just your standard ambush/yeet-fest.



Then made a tidy sum mining the hell out the area. Next up, swatting that annoying Land Shark, then off to the tower.

So I wrapped up the Druid PT today (apart from maybe some puttering around). Overall, a very fun class that also... packs a surprising punch.

The Druid Wildshape ability was very combat-handy in the early going, but in later levels was used rarely, and then just for utility/special attacks. As we get higher level, with better forms, they might be combat useful again. The smaller animal forms I found to be an issue though. With their limited strength, you have to be prepared to travel inventory-light or you'll have to shuffle a bunch of gear around.

As we've discussed quite a bit already, their spell list packs a punch. Combined with the right gear and they can be quite a combat monster. At least in Early Access.

This will probably be my last full PT before the game launches. I'm sure I'll pop back in when there's a significant update and try stuff out, but I don't want to play it to the point where I'm sick of it by the time it actually lands.

So today was about tidying up the last of the Underdark.

Picked up a fancy sword which I don't recall being able to get before...



Picked up the Dog Collar because... why not? Free meat is free meat.



Dealt with Crazy-Mage and his Hook Horror buddies...



And finally, yes... our good buddy the Bulette.

I debated for a moment hosting a BBQ sendoff, but I thought... that Wyvern Poison is just going to go to waste if I don't use it here.

So we ambushed it in its lair but made sure to hit it with a Sleep Potion before it had a chance to act. Here's another tip - there's at least a couple of Sleeping Potions in the game, and work on anything that isn't immune to sleep. So the Hag, Bulette, whatever... out like a light.

Then Lae'zel stepped up with the big poisoned swing on our sleeping beauty for 91 HP damage.

And hey... it had actual treasure on it this time!

This might be a really dumb question, but in 7 or so playthroughs I never once managed to find the Kuo Toa. Can someone point me in the direction? I tried finding them using a description, I found online, but I didn't manage to find them.

Yeah... Early Access.

Ya know, I'm just not digging Druid gameplay :-\ I wanted to be more casterish but it seems it wants you to play shape shifter and I don't really care to do it. So....I stopped playing again. I made a ranger which I was enjoying until the patch came along and ended that for me. But I really, really don't want to start over again

I feel like I complain a lot about this game when I actually love the characters and am really interested in the story. The game play though man......... ugh

I absolutely love using spike growth and flaming sphere! I miss almost all the time with thorn whip though, not sure why Maybe I'm not playing as wrong as I thought I was?

I normally play druid as a spellcaster with benefits. I choose circle of the land as advanced class and use my spells mostly. If I use an animal firm, it's mostly spider for the Web spell or cat for sneaking.
My favorite spells are moonbeam and flaming sword. The sword is really neat and uses wisdom modifier, so my druids suddenly become pretty nice melee fighters, if necessary.
I do like druid a lot, probably among my favorite classes (with warlock and rogue).

Anytime

You could just hide and roll in Flaming Sphere(s) to deal with him. 

I usually set up an ambush outside his room, keeping most us up on the ledge across the spider pit, then maybe one one in the drow room. Set up explosive barrels, etc., then pop in and out of stealth.

I gave up. I can kill the other 2 with no problems but Dror sets the entire camp hostile. I even stealthed in a room with no goblins in sight, used mage hand to push him in the pit, camp still went hostile.

OAN I was going through the Larian forums for a solution to Dror and I came across an armor mod while going through the posts. www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/58 it unlocks higher tier weapons, armor and most importantly slings and darts for mages/druids who need a ranged proficiency. There's even heavy armor for those tired of using the +16 chainmail or the Githyanki chain.

Some really nice pieces to look forward to.
