tikliSeriously, I'll never finish another run of #BG3 again, because I'll spend half my time playing with the photo mode 🙈
Someone please take the photo mode away from me, I clearly can't be trusted with it.
Alyssa CoghlanI mostly don't write about computer games online, but I really like the #bg3photomode shot I put together to memorialise my original (and still only complete) #bg3 playthrough. The mental image of these two living peacefully in the countryside after the events of the game and utterly *wrecking* anyone that messes with them or their community still thoroughly entertains me 😍
Just Izzy and CJ chilling at the campfire, nothing to see here, move along.
Time for a #BG3 update:
- Cumulative playtime: 2211 hours
- Completed playthroughs: 11
- Active campaigns: 5 (and I might actually finish one of them next)
- Achievements: 47/54
#BG3MyLittlePaladinRun was my first proper solo playthrough. Still on Balanced, without any Illithid powers. I also skipped some of the side quests that weren't in any way necessary, so the whole thing took me approximately 84 hours*, and I played it through in three weeks.
One of my goals was to romance Wyll, because in all the previous playthroughs I just hadn't managed to do that - not even with Karlach, because I apparently chose wrong dialogue options in Act 1. This time it happened, even when I was worried for a moment in Act 3 that I had once again missed the window.
Another goal was to not break my oath, and I managed to do that, too. There was one incident when I did break it, but that was just plain stupidity from my part, so I save scummed in order to do that fight in a different way.
* The epilogue started around 83.5 hours, but I got to the end credits around 85 hours, because I ended up tinkering with the photo mode 😂

Attached: 1 image Time for a #BG3 update: - Cumulative playtime: 2112 hours - Completed playthroughs: 10 - Active campaigns: 5 (but I might start yet another campaign today) - Achievements: 47/54 #BG3DrizztDoUrdenRun was my attempt on a semi-solo playthrough, on Balanced, and it took me 114 hours, once again breaking my old record on fastest playthrough. In Acts 1 and 2 it was a lot easier to not have anyone else in the party besides Guenhwyvar (a hireling Druid who was in panther wildshape whenever possible), but in Act 3 I ended up having other companions in the party, because there are many quests that are personal quests for origin characters, or fights with so many enemies that going solo felt like a suicide mission. But I did go to the endgame with only Guenhwyvar in the party. If there's one thing I wish the game had, that's a Legendary scimitar. I kept true to Drizzt's weapon of choice and had him wield double scimitars pretty much the whole time. Of course Belm is a good choice, but I kept switching the secondary weapon because there wasn't a clear choice for that. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that you do get the post-battle romance scene with Halsin even if he's not in your final party. I think there was some older playthrough where I didn't get that scene and Halsin wasn't in the final party, so I assumed it was because of that. If anyone's interested in my Drizzt build, leave a comment and I'll gladly share. #BaldursGate3 #DrizztDoUrden https://blorbo.social/@tikli/114050138093121716
