You "want to say"?? You dont remember the Zerth Blade and unlocking the Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon?!?
Dak'kon is very disappointed in you and leaves the party.

I must say Dak’Kon is way cooler than the gith in this game. They’re all so angsty.

So me and the AI are equally retarded. Got disarmed for the first time when I was laying waste to the druids and my dumb ass probably went 4-5 turns before I realized I was disarmed and my flaming sword of awesomeness was actually laying on the ground. Pretty cool they actually disarm your weapon....quiet the derpa derpa moment not going to lie.

I got disarmed in a run-away situation so I lost my +1 quarterstaff. Maybe someday I'll be tough enough to go back there.

ah. i missed that you were a barb, so that makes sense.
i also was thinking that you got more spell slots between 11 and 12, but you're right, you don't.

All that history/lore about the Gith is all explained in the books in the Arcane Tower / Act 1 / Underdark if anyone is curious.
Blows my mind that some of you are on to act 2 or even 3 and only, what in my mind, is just a handful of hours in difference. Theres still entire areas that I havent finished yet. But I guess thats just me being a completionist.

Brikker or Can anyone comment on how this plays on the Steam deck? I've been going back and forth on getting it on the deck or just waiting for the PS5 version. How does it run, ease of use, and reading all the dialog on the deck?
I haven't actually had a chance to do anything but load the game and set the Settings. That went swell, though

I played abunch since Friday and restarted for 2nd time last night but progressing alot quicker since I know the areas that had so many things to open but had nothing of value. Thats the biggest issue for me, the ratio of anything item wise vs just waste of time seems out of sync but I apprecaite the D&D aspect and immersion that they are targeting so I'll take the good with the bad. I'd be good w/ 90% less interactable items and more meaningful things in them personally.
DOS2 was nice w/ some of the functionality (both standard and mod) so you had chances of rare loot to drop or inside interactable objects so you had some thing to hope for as a reward. With those tweaks in place I could play it the way I enjoyed without going against my greatest fears of missing out on something cool just because I didn't click on object #4114314.
Just got the team setup to Go Karlach as my main origin character as Barbarian Beserker, Lae'zel as Battlemaster Fighter, Gale as Sorc, and Astarion as a support bard. Playing pretty evil focused mind set playthrough so if Gale gets to bitchy with me i'll replace w/ NCP probably. Looking for more just easy face roll damage so I can enjoy my play through and not worry about alot of mechanics then i'll do that when I try tactician.

Well saving Volos is certainly worth it!
Camp is weird though.
Hag fight
Still level 4. Custom lore bard (went back to that, going wild mage sorc for future run), Shadowheart, Gale and Karlach are my party. Though I have tried to use the other NPCs for their quests.
All in all, 20-30? hours in now. Finishing up goblin camp, then have underdark left + the meeting with the giths. Game will probably be way over 100 hours at the rate I am going. Still on tactician.
Told him to meet me in my camp, talked to him and told him to try to extract the tadpole. He did.... but failed and took my eye out instead, but gave a replacement glass eye that gives permanent see invisible.
Camp is weird though.
Let the goblin from the druid camp lead me there, followed in. Killed the first absolute, then got adds, killed those. Nobody else aggroed when I finished the fight. Got to the priestess, killed her, and same thing. Guessing they attack only in batches there to make it manageable?
Hag fight
Finished the hag fight. Let her go and forced her to leave behind the girl. Got the +1 cha. Killed her once too, but loot wasn't any good for me, so reloaded the save. I assume she will show up again. She wasn't happy. Was really tempted to keep the summon staff for the zombie pet, but let her go with it since she said she was going to baldurs gate. Hope to see what happens there

Goblin Camp:
If you go down in the basement with the Spiders, you can animal talk to them and convince them that the goblins are a better target. You just have to open the door. Once its open, they can take out a good portion all on their own. But if you raid the entire place in sync with them - they make quick work of everyone with you because everyones constantly webbed and poisoned.
Its stuff like that that has been the real fun to find for me. I meant to the use the Ogres at some point, but I forgot about using their horn. Im unsure if theyre even available to be used anywhere else right now. Still need to do the Hag, Vampire Hunter, Spider boss down below the town, the counter kill of the myconid kings and the area across the lake in the underdark. Tons of shit to do, basically. But Im thinking Ill try to use the ogres on the Vampire Hunter if I can. If they arent useable, oh well.

No sir there are legendary yellow/orange weapons that are pretty nuts. Gloomstalker/Assassin melee with two legendary daggers and I can melt 200hp mobs in one turn if I get the jump.
60 hours in still having a blast. Game is not perfect but does capture the feeling of being on a grand adventure very well. Haven’t poopsocked this hard since Elden Rang
