I saw the community update and signed up to be a tester. I hope I get picked! I see that HM is getting a few tweaks too with new abilities on some of the enemies. Bring it on!

Does anyone know if you play the Dark Urge and resist Bhaal but try to take over the Absolute in the end, do you get the vanilla absolute ending or is it the same as if you did not resist?

Normal ending I'd say. If you resist Bhaal , you're free of Bhaal 100% after something special happens in act 3

I've done it, you get the vanilla ending but the Narrator might have some extra dialog about it. I don't recall. I just remember that the "In Bhaal's Name" ending doesn't unlock the achievement for controlling the brain in your own name, so I had to do it with a resist DUrge.

I played a bit more today. Again, it was a modest session, but that's consecutive days!
Gale and crew left Halsin on the beach, as I just didn't feel like helping him in that moment. Instead, we went to Moonrise for the first time. We met everyone, and did business with all the merchants. I always enjoy encouraging Astarion's self-determination when speaking to the Oblodra blood fanatic. His reaction is initially subdued but grateful, and he really changes after this event.
We freed the gnolls from mind control and calmed them after. They'll at least be a helpful distraction in the later battle. We also talked to Mig about the meat sound, but haven't yet gone into the rafters to investigate.
I was ready to use Inspiration for Charisma check rerolls when reporting to Z'Rell upstairs; but Gale had an option to share his desire for power. It required no check, and Z'Rell commented on his hesitancy to seize power offered freely. I don't recall seeing anything like this with my previous Tavs.
Gale dispersed the shadow magic in Balthazar's hidden workshop, and now bears two blesses from Mystra. Too bad they're temporary, though permanent would be broken.
I saved in Moonrise. I gotta decide whether to kill Z'Rell and that damned Scrying Eye now. (I wish we had "Dispel Magic" to just dispel the thing. It's resistant to darn near everything but Thunder.) The later battle is always so much easier without her leading the opposition. We'll head into the dungeon and free the prisoners tomorrow. Then, we'll probably grab a rest and help Halsin before heading to the Thorm (no "e" at the end 😄) Mausoleum.

I keep a stash of Shatter scrolls for those Scrying Eyes. I buy that Glaive (Drake something?) off Roah Moonglow at Moonrise and use it to cast Thunder damage on a bow and I snipe them. Throwing them to their "deaths" works too but I think it's a bit tricky to find somewhere safe to do that upstairs in the tower.

I am feeling impatient tonight because I'm tired and haven't been able to sleep in this heat. But I played a bit more. I left off last night in Bhaal's temple. I saw that if you cast Speak With Dead on Minthara, she talks as if she's been killed in Act 1. I guess she doesn't have any other dialog recorded? Is that the case for other companions who die after being kidnapped by Orin? I have lost kidnap victims before,just never thought to cast that on them.
So when I loaded up tonight I decided to cross another boss off the list. I still had plenty of spell slots and I had a ton of summons I never got to use. I also had Hero's Feast on the party. It made sense to head for Cazador next because summons and Hero's Feast are also very good things to have for this fight. I still regretted the excessive amount of summons I had because I couldn't be bothered moving them into position and skipped turn on a lot of them. I had lesser elementals for everyone, greater elementals for everyone, the Necromancy of Thay ghouls, Us, Shovel, and Boo! I guess it better to be overprepared than underprepared though. I never use Boo in combat, I just like to have him summoned for boss fights but I keep him back from the fighting.
I didn't even move Shadowheart around. I hoped Cazador's minions would just run into her spirit guardians. Also, Gale was slinging ice all over the place and I didn't want her to slip and go prone. Cazador went down in the second round and once he was down I was being incredibly lazy about cleaning up the bats, werewolves and ghouls. That mage skeleton is always top priority after Cazador because it's super annoying. I convinced Astarion not to ascend but I would have been ok with that if I wasn't able to persuade him. I think I'll wait until I play as him to ascend.
After that, I went around town for Shadowheart's memories. I'm not sure if she will be bugged because I think that video said that if you gave her the Noblestalk she would bug out and not remember Nocturne. I didn't know that, I had given her the noblestalk before I saw the video or knew about the Nightsong points. I'm used to playing DUrges and usually give the Noblestalk to them, or give it to Derreth (or whatever her name is). Well, hopefully that will be something that's fixed in the next patch.
And that was all I could manage today. Hopefully real me will have a nice long rest and feel refreshed!

Finvola, I never considered throwing those Scrying Eyes. That's what I get for neglecting melee. 😄 I hope you get some sleep. My poor sleep is really affecting me this week. Yesterday morning, I broke my pup's food bowl by mishandling it in a very foolish way while washing it. This morning, I cut my thumb washing a knife. That ruined what would've otherwise been a good day of gaming. 🤦🏻♂️

I didn't play at all yesterday, insomnia and a hectic week tapped into my fun time. I loaded up tonight but am still feeling tired and not up for any tough fights like Ansur or Raphael. I don't really have a whole lot left to do. I started the Steel Watch stuff but I figured I should probably deal with Ansur before pissing off Gortash, so I will do that another time. My other option was the House Of Grief. I grabbed the Steelwatcher Helmet from the foundry because you can't be blinded. I have the ring for that too and then I remembered the Helldusk helmet from Raphael's house. I dipped in there for a minute, got the helmet and other loot in that room and left. I will fight Raphael another time.
The House of Grief fight is much less annoying when you can't be blinded. It's still annoying, but less so. I did the usual thing, put Spike Growth down in front of the stairs, then created a big slip n' slide and shot them with arrows of many targets. There's probably a far more efficient way of doing this fight, but this way is the most enjoyable for me.
So I did that and Nocturne had more to say than usual, but I guess what bugs out is how Shadowheart deals with her parents if you pick the option that says "You don't need me to tell you what's right". Because, evidently her idea of "what's right" was much different than it normally is when I pick that option. Whoops!
I was really REALLY lucky with the Mirror of Loss too. I brought the headband for the other party members and the ring to help with the checks. Gale passed the check easily and I got a +2 to INT. Next up was Minsc. I put the headband and ring on him and much to my surprise, I didn't have to re-roll for him. But he got the memory of the merchant outside that didn't seem to do anything. I guess the only one that works is Stelmane's? No idea, but I didn't see that it gave him a +1 to anything. But I was able to use the mirror on him again and got a +2 to strength. Next up was Astarion. I did have to roll a few times, but got a +2 dex boost for him. Sorry to Shadowheart's parents but yay for lucky Mirror of Loss rolls, I guess?
That's about where I left off. Next, I think I will dip into Ansur's lair, grab the helmet, dip out, then go back to House of Hope and deal with Raphael. Buuuuuuuut I really really need a RL long rest!

I returned to BG3 last night but I am still taking a break from my paladin playthrough. My paladin is my longest lasting character yet in the game. I started a new playthrough as Gale. Was thinking of making a Wizard Tav, but I like Gale. The bad part is I'm going to miss out on his excellent voice acting. So I cleared the Nautaloid. Also I found a build on youtube that will maximize Gale's efficency. Some of the things the video went over I already knew. I will continue playing as Gale until I get the urge to continue my main campaign as my Paladin.

I'm still playing. I made Kimiko from The Boys as a character, because I just watched the last season and more by accident made a character looking like her ( pics later, if you are interested,since I'm on my phone now). Her Frenchie will be Wyll, since he has a similar backstory ( minus the abusive father) and character.
I made her a rogue/ bladelock, but am not so sure, what would you guys suggest?

I've been playing other stuff too but I am very close to finishing Gale's save. I just have to fight Gortash and then head to the brain. I had a funny moment the other day though. I was destroying the Steel Watch Foundry when Minsc got mind controlled by one of the overseers. I couldn't break the overseer's concentration before Minsc's turn came up and I was bracing myself to have one of my party members get trounced by him. But instead he used a Globe of Invulnerability scroll on us. It was probably the smartest dumb thing he could have done.

I took care of a few things, like checked in with Mol, stocked up on arrows and scrolls and various other things. I'm not going to bother with the other optional fights like Mystic Carrion. I did pay Auntie Ethel a visit though. Not for a fight, but to have her as a war ally. Her greater invis is just too good to pass up. Now that we can't enter the Netherbrain invisible, it just saves me the hassle of having to do it once inside. I call on her as an ally and that makes 5 of us invisible for 2 turns and that's usually all I need to get the portal open without having to fight the things along the way and waste resources.
After doing that, I added Karlach to the party and went over to Wyrm's Rock and fought the Handsome Young Man himself. I botched the surprise attack a little but it was fine in the end. I usually do an attack from stealth, retreat and lure Gortash and his guards outside so I don't trigger the stupid traps. But it still worked out fine. Some of the guards blew themselves up by getting caught in the traps while we were safely outside. A few days away from playing makes me a bit rusty!

So we switched to BG3.

I'm so close to finishing Gale's save, so I might as well. I think I will take a break and do the other saves I had planned after the patch. It's good that we will be able to use HM settings in a custom game and I'd rather do that. The save scummer in me calls out. It will also give me the chance to try other tactics and builds out without fear of wiping. Maybe try my hand at doing a solo run too!

I put off both my current playthroughs of my paladin and Gale until the next patch. Well, we were playing Rogue Trader, but a recent patch seems to have broken multiplayer, we kept desyncing. So we switched to BG3. I'll be playing Fallout: London and Diablo 2: Resurrection in the mean time.

I finally finished Gale's save. Normally, I like the courtyard battle, but this time I was like "Nah" and had everyone go invisible and walk right past. I went with Orpheus because I think he has more movement than the Emperor? We climbed up the brain stem, I called on Auntie Ethel for Greater Invis. Orpheus was over at the portal and channeling the crown right on turn 1, but he had lower initiative than the party. I wasn't sure if he would come out of stealth or not but thankfully he didn't. I don't side with the Emperor very often but I seem to remember I don't get as much movement with him as I do with Orpheus. I had a bunch of summons so all the enemies would bother them instead of me.
Orpheus wasn't detected while channeling, but I still had to take my turns on turn 2 because he came after the rest of us. I put up a globe of invulnerability and took out a few illithids in the meantime. I know they can still stun even if you have the globe up and I wanted to make sure everyone went into the portal at the same time.
The brain itself went out on the turn the rest of us entered. It was a pretty easy ride. Gale was the one who delivered the final hit to the brain with Artistry of War, so he got to blow it up after all. The brain isn't nearly as difficult as Raphael and Ansur, but I did have the Runepowder Bomb and fireworks as backup just in case. It's better to be over prepared than under.
I went the "good" route with him and gave the crown to Mystra. In a previous save, either I picked different dialog or didn't talk to him enough because he chose to became a god on his own that time and I was sad at the epilogue party because he left Tara behind. What's more important, godhood or your best friend? The answer was clear!
I think the cutscene at the docks was bugged. Astarion talked as if he had sun immunity but I kept him as a spawn in this run. I plan on ascending him whenever I play as him.
The camp party was a little light on guests. I forgot the owlbear bugged out early on so I didn't have him. Lae'zel died to Shadowheart during their camp squabble and Minthara died as Orin's captive. I tried to save everyone. I probably could have tried harder though, ha.
I prefer playing as a custom character, but it's interesting to see the game through a different perspective.

Those are incredible, especially the first one. That expression is perfect for Karen Fukuhara.

The modder of the face said, they used another actress as a model, but I think in some scenes, the resemblance is quite eerie. Playing as Kimiko is a lot of fun, since her backstory doesn't feel out of the way in Faerun, just change Shining Light to Bhaal cult and there you go.

Now Gale's decision making has been broken down. My head is spinning!
