The achievement for killing 20 enemies while drunk is one of the rarest achievements in the game (2.5% on Steam) and it's not even hard to get, there's just really no reason to do it (yet).   jungius Member Sep 5, 2021 3,469 haven't touch this game yet, maybe i'll wait until patch 10   Porygon One Winged Slayer Member Oct 25, 2017 4,611 Mexicali Well, time to start a campaign with friends, because I'm the only dumbass with a different platform   rainier Member Oct 19, 2023 174 Can't wait to try the bladesinger.   Ashes of Dreams Fallen Guardian of Unshakable Resolve Member May 22, 2020 19,205 You're welcome. Baldur's Gate 3 |OT| Trust the Dice OT I've been wanting to start my second playthrough for a long time. But I put it off when they announced Patch 7. And then put it off again when they announced Patch 8. I've been waiting a long time but now I don't feel like doing anything else. So I'm going to just start my playthrough now.

Can't wait!   ClearMetal Hey, it's that sheep! Member Oct 25, 2017 18,620 the Netherlands Death Cleric Shadowheart, baby! Guess I need to go back to my Shadowheart avatar.  AgentStrange Member Oct 25, 2017 4,873 Who gonna be up Balduring their Gate on April 15?   Derkon Member Oct 25, 2017 3,447 Can anyone thats played the pre-release of patch 8 speak on the new subclasses? Any hits or misses?   Astral Member Oct 27, 2017 33,108 Fucking adore this game. It's crazy how it almost never gets boring.

Crazy I also finally returned to my playthrough, so I will naturally absorb this update lol  Voror Member Oct 25, 2017 4,036 I'm just gonna be curious to see all the crazy builds that come out of this with the new classes   BlackheartVinyl Member Jun 15, 2020 7,610 I'm really bummed they're not gonna add a Roguelite mode   forrest ▲ Legend ▲ Member Oct 25, 2017 1,866 The wife and I started at co-op game a couple nights ago. Curious to see what they are adding.   Ashes of Dreams Fallen Guardian of Unshakable Resolve Member May 22, 2020 19,205 Since I'll finally be doing my evil/durge playthrough, I'm thinking about my party, since I want to use a bunch of the new stuff... Minthara (never used her) - Paladin/New Warlock subclass Astarion - New Ranger/New Bard Shadowheart - New Cleric Pretty open to changing all this of course and still haven't decided on what I want Durge to be  ClearMetal Hey, it's that sheep! Member Oct 25, 2017 18,620 the Netherlands I have never played a Rogue (and I don't use/kill/respec Astarion) since I don't enjoy the stealth mechanics. But Swashbuckler sounds cool. Drunken Master or Hexblade might be fun, too. Honestly reading up on them I'm leaning Hexblade. Karlach is 100 percent going Path of Giants. But I'm mostly just stoked to Toll the Death with Shadowheart, haha.  Elven_Star Member Oct 27, 2017 4,679 Finally. Stress testing started in freaking January. What took them so long? I'm going to do an honor mode playthrough as a dark urge death cleric drow called Dudley.  leodrp Member Jan 23, 2025 106 So I finished the game on release, were they able to address the performance issues on act3 since then??   MF DOOMbot Member Jun 5, 2023 3,855 I will be there no matter what...in Crossplay   dakun Member Oct 28, 2017 5,678 i waited for this moment after playing it for a bit when it came out. happy to finally start again with all the content updates done   mhayes86 Member Oct 27, 2017 5,588 Maryland My wife and I finished BG 3 well over a year ago, we loved it, but we haven't really had the time to play it all over again. New classes and cross-play are really tempting, though!   Skel1ingt0n Member Oct 28, 2017 11,190 I played 80hrs of this at launch and never even got to Baldur's Gate, lmfao. Whatchya all think: Start fresh or continue my playthrough? I'm tempted to continue my playthrough as it'll feel more new and I also really liked my hero and my choices so far.  WascallyWabbit Member Oct 25, 2017 12,126 Was holding off on my first Durge run for this!   SunBroDave "This guy are sick" Member Oct 25, 2017 14,925 Skel1ingt0n said: I played 80hrs of this at launch and never even got to Baldur's Gate, lmfao.

Click to shrink... The Baldur's Gate portion of the game is practically its own full game in its own right. I think I spent 60 hours there alone, more than in any other act in the game. That said, a lot of what makes the Baldur's Gate section so good is how well it concludes all of the major and minor storylines that built throughout the entire game, so it really depends on how good your memory is of what you've played so far. If you're fuzzy on the details of what you played so far, it might make sense to start fresh.   Magic-Man Member Feb 5, 2019 11,530 Epic Universe Hoping for performance improvements plz. Looking at you Steam Deck.   dekjo Member Jul 10, 2023 31 Don't think I'm ready for my 3rd run, but at some point I will and the crossplay & new subclasses will make that a lot of fun. BG3 helped me rediscover my love for CRPG games, and have since played Pillars of Eternity 1 and am now in the middle of Deadfire, while also starting a Pathfinder Kingmaker playthrough. So thank you Larian for reviving my interest in these game, having a lot of fun in all of them.   ResinPeasant93 Member Apr 24, 2024 2,206 I know there was a rumor for a bit that one of these patches would allow either Volo or Alfira join your party (not talkign Dark Urge stuff). Did that ever come to pass?   mangrilla Member Aug 28, 2020 1,074 Washington, DC It doesn't say (or I didn't see in my skim), but assuming this is across all platforms? I know sometimes stuff takes a little longer to review for the consoles.
