Started BG3 today. It started downloading the entire game over. Not through steam but the launcher. Odd. Steam just says "launching" with no downloads queued or in progress but the launcher is downloading the entire game over.
Odd thing I noticed the other day. Quicksaves put the right year on the save, autosaves and manual saves where you name the save will put the year as 2024 even though it was made today. Super odd, once the game redownloaded now the year on those saves is 2025.

Well, I just completed the game.
Just gonna put spoiler tags on it, just 'cause.
Killed Astarion. Blew the fucking shit out of Minthara.
Didn't save the land from the shadow curse, in act 2. Which caused Halsin to leave, or rather, to stay.
Didn't save anyone down in submersible of Act III, this includes Wyll's dad.
Turned Orpheus into a mind flayer, turned my back on the Emperor.
Turned Wyll and Karlach loose on the hells.
Wyll ended up becoming the Blade of Avernus.
Gave Gale the crown to turn over to Mystra and save himself.
Saved Shadowheart's parents, as she was my love interest.
Saved Minsc after several frustrating tries, just to find out that he's as annoying as ever.
Played as an Dark Urge Oathbreaker Drow Paladin.
Defeated Orin and the Dark Urge.
EDIT : Oh yah, and in the Wrymway, got the achievement "Crash Landing". Divine smite, FTW.
10/10, am playing again. This time as a Gnomish (College of Swords) Bard.

Yeah, I staked Asterion the first time he tried to bite me on the first and only full playthrough I've done. Raphael shows up and stops you before you go into the crypt to talk about an old "friend" of his, or some such.
Yeah he'll always pop up about that, its only if you progressed in Astarion's quest/friendship levels that you use it as an opportunity to make a deal with the devil to learn what the marks on his skin mean.

The one caveat I can think of is that I didn't face her directly. I started the Dror Razglin fight and the scrying ob somehow called her in.

Does the game run any better since the release? I know there were a lot of issues specifically when you get to the third act, I'm just wondering whether or not they fixed everything. I've been thinking about firing up another run and doing the dark urge stuff.

Decided to try a caster. I'm a sorcerer and it's been going pretty well. I killed Nere and an odd thing happened. I couldn't cast anything the entire fight, not even a cantrip and I wasn't wearing anything that would prevent it. I turned ghost white, not invisible but semi clear and bright white tinted. The fight lasted seconds. After the fight I could cast again, I never had a condition on my sheet. But I still remain ghost like even after a long rest. Odd.
But sorc has been going pretty well and is a lot different than the matrial classes I've been playing, not near as gear dependent.

I main'd Gale wizard first playthrough. Whole lotta rezz tag going on.
Laezel had to hard carry with stealth sharp-shooting from Astorion. Now I see videos with warlocks and stuff they do so much damage. A lot of the difficulty of a first experience seems trivialized.

OPness is all about abusing item synergy more than anything else. If you get the ice staff from the 3 dead drow in Underdark then combine it with the Wintery Gloves now you freeze everything constantly. Similarly if you get the fire gloves and combine it with the cinder boots on Monk Karlach or something you now have an entirely new heat convergance mechanic to do burst damage with.
Like, I randomly found this in this playthrough and I missed it in the first two. The unassuming stool in the arcane tower by the robots is actually enchanted with hill giant strength. One of the stool legs is a club that sets your strength to HG strength. Thereby allowing you to abuse the titanstring bow.

Yah, well, Raphael is no slouch when it comes to itemization either. Gloves Of Hill (actually they're Frost Giant Strength, 23) Strength, an something that boosts your constitution to 20-23, I really can't remember right now. However, I do remember going into the Orin fight and just slapping that bitch down hard in 1v1 Combat.

Finished act 1 on honor mode. Have a feeling it's about to get much tougher. Party of 3, Tav is a storm sorcerer, Shadowheart a tempest cleric, and Lae'zel a battle masster fighter. Pretty boring party. I may need to throw in a ranged class like a ranger. Too bad I stuck a stake in Astarion.
Accidently killed the Hag and didn't get the hair. Sucked.
