BALDUR'S GATE 3 | Episode #42 : Drink! DRINK! 

Good thing Gopher had the good sense to turn back from the Shadowfell at this point. Lots of stuff need doing first, that's why there's a Waypoint there, to come back easily once you are 'ready'.

A man walks into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender gives the man his drink, and the man asks, "If I show you something crazy, would let me have free drinks for the rest of the night?" The bartender thinks for a minute and then says, "It would be something spectacular to take that offer." The man leans down and picks up a box and sets it on the bar. He opens the box and inside is a small piano man, who is only 1 foot tall, and beside him a little piano. The piano man starts playing classical music like Beethoven and Chopin. Once he finishes, the bartender is in utter disbelief. He tells the man, "You can have free drinks for the rest of the night, but only if you tell where you got this." The man says,"In the alley way behind your bar, there is a Genie who is granting free wishes to everyone who wants them." Elated, the bartender heads behind his bar to see if it was true. A few minutes passed, and out of the alleyway erupts a cacophony of quacking. The bartender rushes back into the bar and shuts his door against a wave of thousands of ducks. He manages to secure the door and says to the man, "I think that the Genie is hard of hearing, because after I asked for a million bucks, these ducks appeared by the thousands." The man chuckles and says,"Did you really think I wished for a 12-inch pianist?"

Conversation with Gerringothe will have to wait until the next playthrough, I guess. The Thorms are such fun boss-fights, though, so it's actually pretty cool that you got to experience it! Neither option is wrong! Whenever you have a character with multiple attacks, make sure you take a quick look at their UI before ending their turn, as they might have more attacks than you thought. Actions are shown as those little green circles, they can have multiple from such things as haste or bloodlust elixir. If they don't have an additional action, but still have their "extra attack" the various attack commands will be highlighted with a white border, so make sure you don't keep skipping half your characters' turns by neglecting their additional attacks. Additionally, you can manually switch a character back to their melee weapon after using their ranged weapon before ending their turn. Leaving them standing around with a bow will make them unable to use attack of opportunity/riposte/sentinel etc.

Loving this play through. I’m completely blind to BG3, and the only knowledge I have of it is from BG1, Gopher’s play through, and early D&D. But I feel that combat flows so smoothly when Gopher makes decisions off of instinct rather than looking to chat for every other action (and yes I know I’m probably in the wrong here..). Really makes it feel natural. Anyways, I love the content and I can’t wait to see the next stream! ❤️ Absolutely no negativity intended. Much love all around!

Gopher, you get attacks until the attack icon is grayed out. If it is still bright yellow, smack'em!

That riposte from Laezel was brutal!

Don't forget you can up-cast Magic Missile to make it much more powerful. At its base level, it's not a super heavy hitter.

You could just have Reggie drink that angelic potion. Knocks him out two turns and then he'll be right as rain.

Eager to see how the next stream goes! :D

*Angelic Rest* is for YOUR party members to use - especially a spell caster - they sleep for 2-turns outside of combat and recover spells and spell casting. You do *not* use on enemies. Lol

You could consider getting a cleric hireling. Then if Shadowheart runs out of spells, but you dont want to long rest, just use the backup cleric. Also, checkout the spell 'warding bond' .. not going to spoil why, but maybe you'll figure it out.

I have to wonder if that Drunk condition you had lasted so long because you got it from drinking that magic goop, rather than normal alcohol...

Statistically unlikely fails on wisdom? I'm not sure... sounds like the game is learning and adapting to Reginald's... idiosyncrasies. ;) ----- If you're interested in what the plaques said, after you figured them out, go ahead and read on. Chances are high you already figured this out, seeing how you have a live chat around. They may or may not have already typed it back to you. I typed this part at the Hour, 27 mark, and added the above part afterwards. "Or Lady of Loss Mistress of pain When night falls Thorm shall rise" EDIT: Oh yeah, you totally read out the next line. But didn't say the last two, at least not aloud.

Don't be so stingy with inspiration, please, especially when it's the difference between a fight and one more roll^^. You can only save 4 of them anyway, but you do also get back inspiration when you succeed rolls. It's fine, the boss fight is very cool as well :D.

I'm convinced at this point that Gopher is deliberately not using all of his attacks because he thinks the game is too easy and is using it as a form of handicap lol.

I desire you Goppha :3

Gopher you may want to check out the Astrogate mod, it adds things like supercruise, autopilot, and the like. It gets things more towards the space travel I think you would like.

I really hope we see more from Gopher with Starfield. It's one of the best lets plays he has done. It really took me back to when I watched his first Skyrim play through.

You either don't know, forget or just not paying attention :-) You consistently skip turns without using all attacks available to you, in this one it was especially blatant with Lae'zel. Under Bloodlust elixir she gets 5 attacks in one turn: two attacks for a normal action, two attacks for extra bloodlust action (which triggers if you kill an enemy) and one attack for a bonus action from Great Weapon Master feat (triggers on crit or kill). So if you kill an enemy, you get the bloodlust turn and can make 5 attacks. Whether you have an extra attack is not obviously indicated but if you have one, appropriate attack icons on the bar are highlighted. Bonus action attack icon when available appears on a temporary section of the bar just left from End Turn button. Action attacks from normal action and bloodlust action can be used for anything attack actions are used for - shooting, throwing. Bonus action attack is used only for melee weapon attack. I noticed quite a few people in the chat, me included, were a bit frustrated with you forgetting to use all your attacks :-) So if you're doing it deliberately to troll us, boy, it's working 😂

I rather enjoy starfield’s space combat… but I suck at space combat It’s also so weird that people get on lip syncing problems. Baldurs Gate 3 has the worst lip syncing bugs I’ve ever seen. Most games have issues with lip syncing, especially sand box type games.
