Am i the only one who thought it was a big waste that you get max level a third into act 3 which has a ton of content? Doing all the cool side quests of act 3 just isnt as fun when your build is finished and there is no xp to gain.

Circling back to this. I think this is a much better design choice rather than setting the game to hit max level right before you finish the game, giving you minimal time to use your max level skills/spells. I'd much rather have half an act worth of content to play at max level than only a couple encounters.

I'm getting this odd behavior when using the Sanctuary spell sometimes. I get the message "Sanctuary blocked". Any idea what causes this?

It stops when you take offensive action right?

So do you have an offensive spell active like Cloud of Knives or Guardian Spirits?

Thinking on it, I may have tossed a fire bomb then sanctuaried myself. Perhaps the lingering burning effect blocks it?

Sanctuary blocked usually means you've already been sanc'd right before. I think there is a 2 turn block so you can't attack > sanc > attack > sanc over and over.

On sale on steam now for $50.99. I would think most people who were interested would have bought it by now.

Hit max level on my Bhaalspawn playthrough. Honestly this should be the base experience but I get why it wasn't.

I went evil so literally everyone is dead:
Gale - cut his hand off at the portal
Karlach - cut off her head for Wyll and the Paladins, then killed the Paladins anyway
Wyll - sacrifice to Boooal
Halsin - I rescued him but forgot to escort him out, so he came to my camp to avenge the grove I slaughtered
Jaheria - I killed Isobel on purpose, bye bye Last Light Inn
Minsk - Seemed to be leading a criminal gang which had 10k gold I wanted
Laezel - I let Orin kidnap and kill her, was sick of hearing about fucking Vlaakith

I had some nice surprises that the House of Grief and Temple of Bhaal were much easier, but the Foundry is going to be much harder with all the Gnomes being dead - actually considering just siding with Gortash since I don't need any more exp.

Also got The Emperor to drop his mask and admit he's evil since I was purposefully being an asshole to people. If you don't antagonise him you may think he's a good guy.

Took me 40 hours on the second try (60 on the first), I think this game is much shorter than some people say, they just must be talking to every NPC that exists lol.

I prefer Elden Ring, Cyberpunk: Phantom Liberty and Baldur's Gate Original Trilogy, but this is an outstanding game mainly for the sheer volume of choices, voice acting and memorable characters.
