same as bonzwah1. i am not too keen to RP a ace with such a sense of exceptionalism..now if the githzerai were in here, i would play those. though finally seeing how things turn out, i am becoming interested in playing a custom githyanki due to that major plot point involving that race. i have wiped those giths for my 2 playthroughs, first coz i didn't know better and in the second coz that was a sacred place of my light cleric's deity they desecrated...but having a gith PC would finally give me a good RP reason to let them survive.

You are underselling duergar invisbility.

Amazing race!

@hoboofserenity 10 месяцев назад

When I saw that the monk hireling was a gith in the screenshots before launch, I was so excited because I was sure that it'd be a Githzerai, maybe even a Zerth. Then we'd get some cool lore/interactions given how prevolent both githyanki and illithids are in BG3 and how intrinsicly connected all 3 are. Huge missed opportunity imho, and my only real gripe with the game. Though I'm biased because my favorite D&D character I ever played was a monk githzerai back in 3.5ed.

@Jonsoner 10 месяцев назад

@@hoboofserenity While I also love Githzerai (loved that companion on Neverwinter Nights 2), there is no need to add another faction. *SPOILERS* *ACTUAL SPOILERS* You find some Githzerai, and they are all badass psychic monk. Hell, you fight them on the astral plane and find someone REALLY important to them there. If we had the chance to go to a Githzerai *crepe* or whatever it's called and get quest, lore and conflicts it may bloat the game too much. We do get SOME lore from that fight and Lae'zel, so it's not like they skipped one of the coolest part of Gith lore (the division and the rebellion).

Half-Drow also get a few of the Drow RP dialog options, but are inconsistently recognized as Drow. Compared to my Drow EA playthrough, it seems like "good" NPCs recognize my character as Drow while bad ones see them as a regular half-elf, lending to the lore that Half Elves never fit in anywhere. A nice touch, even if a little disadvantageous.

On the Githyanki, if you have the Deluxe Edition you can use Mask of the Shapeshifter to change form to something more aesthetically pleasing, and it doesnt change back if you remove it, so it doesnt even cost you the helm slot! Some have also pointed out that you can become a gnome to enter small spaces and get tossed up on ledges. Also as Storm Sorc (Draconic subclass), using the SS spell gives you a free fly, so that is infinitely usable.

Screw the Dragonborn, look what they did to Shield Dwarves! The most iconic Dwarfy race in the game gets... light and medium armor training... and not even shield training??

@nsp477 10 месяцев назад

Many of the racial benefits are rather... counterintuitive. For example, if you pick an elf to play a seemingly fitting class like a bow-based ranger, most of the benefits of being an elf are redundant because the ranger class already provides them. The same for Githyanki and martial classes. So if you really want to make the most of racial benefits you need to pick an "unusual" class for that race, so that feats, etc don't overlap.

Episode idea: a quick tutorial on all the things on how to make the game more efficient. I played EA and totally forgot I could alter multiple aspects of the hotbar until I saw you setting yours up during your liveplay. Of course, I didn't see the little lock button so I kept trying to drag buttons off to no effect until I searched the answer. Also, just read about using ctrl or shift like you would selecting files for inventory manipulation. I'm sure there's some other efficiency knowledge you could share with people unfamiliar with the game or, like me, spaced they were familiar with it because they were so excited about playing a spore druid Githyanki. The spores definitely make the character play more like a martial class making it feel more like a classic spellsword and I'm loving it.

@henrykri2067 10 месяцев назад

Very good overview, as usual! I do think you forgot one thing that I have found useful with elves, including drow, if you want to build a scout type character. For a scout you probably need perception and it is only a class skill for certain classes. Moreover there are no backgrounds that give perception. So when I decided to start a monk that I wanted to be scouting, lockpicking I choose a wood-elf. Then I could start with Perception (wood-elf), Sleight of Hand (background) and Stealth (background or class).

@bcantui 10 месяцев назад

Came to the same conclusion but went drow instead of wood elf, the darkness spell sounded good if I ever went shadow monk (trying open hand first). The reduced movement shouldn’t matter in the long run no? Especially with all the monk movement. Also the lvl 3 spell giving advantage to all attacks in an area sounded good with how many attacks monks make

As a side note, the camera makes weird things during cutscenes when you have a small race character... At the beginning, when Lae'Zel threatens you, the tip of her sword was inside the face of my glorious Dwarf.

All my measurements in game are metric and I never really thought about it until now. Just one more great thing about the game.

@MortismalGaming 10 месяцев назад

Its a toggle in the options, default is metric, I changed it

@delinquentpanda 10 месяцев назад

@@MortismalGaming I just really like having metric as an option.

IMO a human or half elf monk would be decent because you could use polearms as monk weapons from lvl 1

@bungyjumper 10 месяцев назад

Good info! Wish the game told you , at creation, what the races unlocked at lvl 3 and 5

Great video. I always go Wood Elf with pretty much any game that has it and my main is a Wood Elf Druid....however the way Larian has handled playing as a Drow makes them probably my favourite in game. My evil Dark Urge character is a Drow, and watching Goblins cower, or put fear into the Tiefling kids is too good.

Morty, I just gotta say--you do the best damn RPG videos on RU-vid. Fun, informative, and interesting to boot. Rock on with your bad self, bro!

It's honestly tragic how shafted stat-wise Dragonborn are in BG3. They were already considered the weakest PHB race in the tabletop ruleset, and somehow they're actually even weaker in-game than that, because their breath weapon got nerfed. It's puzzling, and one of my very few complaints about the game so far. Dragonborn really needed something more.

@lokiserpentem8534 10 месяцев назад

In the full game they can use their breath weapon again after short rest and it increases in power twice during level up Suffice to say ive only ever used it like 2 or 3 times and mainly to hit multiple enemies at once, but usually my companions are in the way Also i feel like people dont comment as much on me being a dragonborn as I'd like, most i remember is Lae'zel mentioning my scales and talking about me being descended from dragons

I mean while it's easy to overlook the resistance passives they have, you can stack them to really dirty effectiveness, basically in act 1 My dragon born-sorc had resistances to. Cold, fire, poison, acid and shock. And still had room for a potion of resistance. Rangers also can get easy 5 dmg type resistances in act 1 so yeah, while their passives aren't flashy, they sure as hell are effective against any magic user if you build em right.

So wood elves and wood half-elves get stealth proficiency even though its not listed in the sub race features section, it was listed in early access but not in the full release. But if you look at your list of skill proficiencies at character creation it does get added to the list of skills.

My first playthrough I went with a drow. Improved dark vision was a big thing, but also I like how they look/oh man what if I can become a drider?

@BucklingSwashes 10 месяцев назад

There seem to be a few things that aren't initially clear when selecting your race when it comes to skill proficiencies. As an example, I chose a Wood Half-Elf for my Swords Bard, and discovered as I was choosing my skill proficiencies that I had Stealth already. Might just be that Larian missed adding a few things to the race selection menu, since that Stealth proficiency isn't mentioned anywhere on that menu.

I stopped myself from playing the early access because of how excited I am for this game. Larian has never had a bad game ever. The last game I was this excited for was Divinity OS II.

Nah, Beyond Divinity was terrible, even Larian says so lol but yeah this is fantastic
