Bunnarchist: Oh boy, new record for the longest play it forward series?
margieargie: I can definitely recite -those- by heart
N2Osferatu: @Bunnarchist Depends on how completionist she feels, I think
micalovits: Doubt we will get a record, but might get close
Bunnarchist: I actually don't know what the longest one currently is
N2Osferatu: One of the Finals Fantasy?
TXC2: the record might be Kathleen's SMT playthrough
N2Osferatu: Ooh yea
TXC2: !wiki

beowuuf: @TXC2 knew something recent took the record! thank you!
bladed_shadow: bioware adventure?
GDwarble: Fortunately, the game explains any relevant backstory, and fully expects you to not know what's going on
ScrapyardGhostTrain:
You've played D&D. That's all you need to know. 
DoodlestheGreat: Dragon Scrolls. Elder Age, whatever...

malsareus: I'm kinda interested how this plays with a controller
TXC2:
there'll be Carby for sure in this 
JonnyGlitched: Turn off Karmic Dice
Gaz_L: Pretty much, just with some dice rolling
malsareus: never played a CRPG with a controller
cambo212: karmic dice are fine
Invitare: nah Kirby has way more dark lore
micalovits: The base settings are pretty fine
Jaebird: Every time you crit, your character calls out "Poyo!"
JonnyGlitched: Karmic Dice cheat against / for you
taruan: karmic dice are fine
accountmadeforants: Performance: Y/N
GDwarble: You can leave Karmic dice on if you want, it doesn't really matter too much
JonnyGlitched: mostly against
malsareus: karmic dice are fine if you're not min-maxing
djalternative: so you're saying we should take this PiF to Pornhub
underscoreMutex subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 4 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, underscoreMutex! (Today's storm count: 33)
GDwarble: Karmic Dice are only an issue if you're min-maxing, if you aren't they help more than they hurt
accountmadeforants: Ah, it's on PS5 I guess? I was briefly very confused at this menu
Bunnarchist: I played on PC so.. No idea
JonnyGlitched: I'm naturally very good with probability so Karmic messes with me
TXC2: so Karmic dice are the "I'm here for story" option?
malsareus: no there is also story mode
Critterbot: Twitch won't get mad at you for turning on bits, it's up to you what you wanna do.
TheThirdTail: Karmic dice are more like the... "I get frustrated at loss streaks" option
micalovits: Maybe the text background on?
ExachixKitsune: Karmic dice are the "Wow, you rolled 3 natural 1s in a row, as a DM who likes fairness Ima let you reroll that"
TheThirdTail: There's a separate difficulty option
malsareus: karmic dice kinda smooths out the randomness, unless you're really min-maxing
margieargie: Karmic Dice is the "don't get X-Commed 10 times in a row" option, basically
JonnyGlitched: I'm a massive scummer from way back
GDwarble: @TXC2 No, there's a difficulty level for that. They're supposed to be an anti-frustration feature because they break losing streaks, but also break winning streaks, and work for enemies. It's complicated.
Thandres: nah, karmic dice just try to remove the weird streaks of 1s or 20s you get sometimes with "real" randomness
inetro: Karmic Dice are the forgiving DM, making sure you see more successes and less faikure streaks
TXC2: I see, thanks chat
frnknstn: Karmic dice is "don't get Crit on 3 times in a row,"
nickthecatbear: Balanced works well for first time play

GDwarble: Some eye horror incoming
N2Osferatu: Thankfully you can change difficulty modes at any time
malsareus: oh CW: eye trauma
TXC2: "yes indeed"
Traion: Heather and BG3?! Sign me up!
nickthecatbear: I did this game in Cameron Mode and it was fine, but not that interesting
JonnyGlitched: Yesterday one of my fellow IRL players rolled 2 nat ones with advange almost in a row. Weird runs are a statistical certainty
N2Osferatu: @JonnyGlitched Ah yes, Sadvantage
OldUncleDan: Hey! She's on a Magic card!
JonnyGlitched: @N2Osferatu XD
nickthecatbear: CW: Eye things
TXC2: worm soup!
margieargie: It does, yes
Metric_Furlong: leech soup, just like mother used to make
ExachixKitsune: Ew
JonnyGlitched: Oh you know NOTHING? Perfect
frnknstn: Spicy wontons
JonnyGlitched: Best Wife
ReeceNightshade: @OldUncleDan all of the origin characters have mtg cards!
CururuGuasu: Getting all Wrath of Kahn in here
patrick_stonecrusher: Shlurp
TehAmelie: we can get a little mind flayed, as a treat
ExachixKitsune: You currently have eyes. You'll wish you don't after this
TheThirdTail: Your turn!
TXC2: wow that gets RIGHT up in there
GDwarble: I think they changed how tadpolling works specifically so they could have this shot
JonnyGlitched: New friend!
OldUncleDan: @ReeceNightshade I am aware. I was kinda doing the whole "Pitch Meeting" bit!
Jaebird: Time for your eye exam.
GDwarble: Eye trauma done with
BrindleBoar: the better to chew through to your thinkmeats
ExachixKitsune: @GDwarble that's rude of them
TXC2: JESUS CHRIST why is that shot/
Travilogue: Who who, who who
CururuGuasu: Who who…who who!
nickthecatbear:
Welcome to the rest of the stream 
malsareus: @TXC2 to set the scene
JonnyGlitched: get comfy
TXC2: strap in chat
GDwarble: I think I spent an hour in the character creator
Travilogue: Settle in everyone!
Gadora: Time to settle in.
Pteraspidomorphi: This music is very Uru: Ages Beyond Myst
margieargie: One thing in my many restarts - i definitely always skip the pre-character-creation cutscene specifically because of... that
beowuuf: thanks to chat for the warning
accountmadeforants: Wait, I just realized... if you pick Lae'zel as your character, who was the one who got first-person tadpole'd?
TXC2:
malsareus oh yeay 
zeathean: i found this game to be too in love with AOE spam
HorusFive: Ah chracter creation. Welcome to stream #1 and possibly #2
fiftymcnasty: Oh neat, I havent seen what this looks like on console yet
GDwarble: You can *mostly* ignore the bonuses, any character can do well at any class
SquareDotCube: What do your elf eyes see?
JonnyGlitched: I hope this eventually gets a full 5e rules conversion
Travilogue: (the reason I am glad I am able to watch the first session live)
JonnyGlitched: especially for racials
nickthecatbear: Take your time. There's a ton to explore for options
ExachixKitsune: what do you mean "full 5e" JonnyGlitched ?
ReeceNightshade: I hope they drop dlcs for more classes and races and sub classes personally
TehAmelie: i understand you get to be the special chosen one thanks to that mind flayer brain baby, so i guess it's time to sacrifice comfort for power
TXC2: Dorf!
cambo212: several of the races have subrace options
JonnyGlitched: @ExachixKitsune this game is very much "inspired" by D&D
TXC2: half the ling, all the fun
Metric_Furlong: dargon
Metric_Furlong: dagron
GDwarble: Huh, y'know, I kinda like this UI better than the mouse + keyboard one. It's a lot easier to miss options in m&k
nickthecatbear:
Dragonborn are my undisputed favorites in this game 
JonnyGlitched: There are significant rules differences
TXC2: Horc
CururuGuasu: Which half, top or bottom?
Metric_Furlong: yes
Gaz_L: @JonnyGlitched yes, but a lot of them are honestly improvements
TXC2: CururuGuasu it's the left half
SquareDotCube: do you want to be a good dragon or a bad dragon?
Gaz_L: and some are just from the necessity of making the game more fun
djalternative: Are we going for a good dragon or an evil dragon?
ExachixKitsune: JonnyGlitched : I thought it was developed from 5e, what's the thing you want changed?
JonnyGlitched: @Gaz_L true, the "crit sucess" for skills is a bit confusing and unessisary for people who might want to move to pen and paper
djalternative: Chromatic dragons are evil. Metalic dragons are good
TehAmelie: ooh, both the good and evil dragon palettes
OldUncleDan: BTW: The only correct options for character creations are this: Whatever the heck YOU want to play.
nickthecatbear: ^^
margieargie: @JonnyGlitched Yeah, that's the one I Do Not Like
beowuuf: crit successes for skills is coming in to the next edition wasn't it?
Metric_Furlong:
@OldUncleDan unless it's a human 
Gaz_L: @JonnyGlitched wait, you mean auto passing skill checks on a nat 20? that's honestly just a house rule i use anyway
JonnyGlitched: @ExachixKitsune many of the spells only last 2 or 3 rounds when in paper they last for a minute or until the target saves
nickthecatbear: Nope
micalovits: Naaaa, just pick whatever you want
TheThirdTail: Nah, I wouldn't say so
Maximals2000: nope everything is doable
JonnyGlitched: It's hard to pick a wrong race
taruan: nah
accountmadeforants: Nah
zeathean: multiclassing can be a trap
TheThirdTail: Especially on balanced
Zalthia: Dark Urge isn't recommended for first time players
nickthecatbear: Your character choices may change some dialogue, but the mechanics will all work
GDwarble: For a custom character? Not really, and if you *do* mess up you get the ability to respec fairly early on
GhostValv: the only thing would be "the dark urge" origin which you're not doing.
margieargie: Yeah, at the very least any single-player choices will work
malsareus: multiclassing could go very wrong, other than that you're good
ExachixKitsune:

Maximals2000: you can respec later
margieargie: *single-class, not player
JonnyGlitched: yea it's so easy to respec
JonnyGlitched: if you find the person
micalovits: Can't change race and apperance though, only class
N2Osferatu: There's more character look customization after this too
nickthecatbear: Plus, you can get party members, so seriously pick what you think is fun/interesting. It'll be fine
malsareus: note that respeccing only works for your class
N2Osferatu: So you won't be stuck looking exactly like the one you choose
JonnyGlitched: You can get Clown makup
N2Osferatu: @JonnyGlitched Sometimes when you don't want!
SquareDotCube: dwarf necromanceR?
Traion: You can even pick your genitalia seperate from your bodytype
TheMandrew:
Don't think I've ever heard anyone call Gith cute 
Maximals2000: giths as very strong
margieargie: Yep, and in the... non-streamer mode the options for... down there are different from either of those
ArkhamArchivist: Githyanki is Swanki
djalternative: So, we going tall lady then?
JonnyGlitched: Why horned lady always so pretty?
TXC2: she really looked at her tail like it was a new thing
They_Are_Alyx: Body type, gender, voice, and genitals are all separate AKA the way it should be
malsareus: I am biased towards horned ladies
ReeceNightshade: Race and class will open up new dialogue options, which I think is pretty cool.
SaxPython:

cambo212: theres also a bazillion appearance customisation options
JonnyGlitched: Dragon Born get resistance based on their colour
nickthecatbear: Checks out
TheThirdTail: Cats... Devils... Is there really a difference?
ExachixKitsune: Tieflings are cats confirmed
Gaz_L: some species have big fem/big masc and smol fem/smol masc body types, but dragonborn and orc just have BEEG
Metric_Furlong: cats, demons, basically the same thing
Traion: Cats are well known for fire resist
Metric_Furlong: you ever seen a cat and a demon in the same room together? exactly
djalternative: Mephistopheles like the movie Cats
JonnyGlitched: I hate Mage Hand in this game, so annoying to try and get use out of it
malsareus: the default mephi tief is very cute
SquareDotCube: I guess tabaxi haven't made it over to this realm yet
TXC2: no Purple Tiefling?
N2Osferatu: Again, appearance not locked to what you choose, thankfully
N2Osferatu: You can make purple for sure!
Traion: Really @JonnyGlitched I've gotten so much good use out of mage hand
malsareus: @TXC2 skil color is a thing you can pick
TheThirdTail: You can be a purple anything
micalovits: I mean, I am all for 3 hours of character creation
djalternative: so the whole first stream is character creation, right?
malsareus: purple is in the pallette
TXC2: malsareus ah, good
JonnyGlitched: Astral Knowledge of the Gith is great for Skill Monkeys
accountmadeforants: @JonnyGlitched Yeah, coming from D:OS2, I fully expected Mage Hand to be Shenanigans O'Clock and was a bit underwhelmed
Gaz_L: @djalternative probly
nickthecatbear: The "Appearance" part of the top menu also lets you do a ton of customization to explore
NonMint: I look forward to stream 2 where you’ll actually start the game @loadingreadyrun. And go with Dragonborn
Traion: Tiefling and Gith will be more narratively interesting than Dragon
JonnyGlitched: @accountmadeforants I find to hard to figure out how to use and then it times out
micalovits: Haven't played dragonborn, but both Gith and Thieflings have a lot of narrative that shows up
djalternative: I know our opinions don't matter but if you're down to two, I'd go tiefling
N2Osferatu: Tiefling and Gith do come up a LOT more for sure
Gaz_L: @accountmadeforants i think you need to use turn-based mode to have it be helpful. i def found it useful in a few places
JonnyGlitched: AK is broken for what it actually gives you
Traion: Gith are super pushed in BG3 it's absurd how strong they are
JonnyGlitched: broken good
micalovits: Also, for whatever reason Gith get all the good things
ExachixKitsune: They're the Gith that keeps on Githing
N2Osferatu: Horns, though!
ExachixKitsune: No I'm not sorry
Metric_Furlong: good things are good, or so I've heard
beowuuf:
@ExachixKitsune 
JonnyGlitched: It's an interesting story too, Gith are central to the plot
Gaz_L: you get a lighter, you get a grabby hand or you get a megaphone
Traion: You want a free teleport? Gith have you covered. Want to jump over half the map? Gith got you covered. Want to wear armour as a wizard? Gith got you covered
malsareus: tieflings also have fire resistance
Thandres: tieflings also got good story ties though
Metric_Furlong: can be scary but also dance
malsareus: thaumaturgy is real powerful
Traion: Wan't prof in every skill? Gith got you too
JonnyGlitched: The Gith Jump is tech
OldUncleDan: So, this isn't a 1-1 to 5th ed, eh?
JonnyGlitched: @OldUncleDan extreemly not
TXC2: OldUncleDan sure ain't
NonMint: It’s darn close.
ExachixKitsune: not quite, it's 5e but with some modifications
malsareus: no, lightning strike works indoors just for starters
TheThirdTail: I'd say it's as close as can be reasonably achieved for a computerized version
Gaz_L: sure
DentedPockets: I mean, druids can be more cat
nickthecatbear: nope other than clothes
draxov: Cats do have horns, can confirm looking at my cat now
N2Osferatu: Just clothes starting, I think
Metric_Furlong: it shouldn't?
Gaz_L: class will give different outfit
TheThirdTail: you'll be able to freely choose your appearance after
JonnyGlitched: @OldUncleDan the way rules were in 2 and 3 were actually easier to turn into a computer game, 5e is much harder because it's a bit more "open"
nickthecatbear: And clothes will change as you find other stuff
JonnyGlitched: 2 and 3e
malsareus: druids get to shapeshift
margieargie: You can even use your camp clothes as your appearance, which allows for some extra fun
JonnyGlitched: easier to play, harder to code
OldUncleDan: Well, 4th ed was by far the easiest to turn into a CRPG.
JonnyGlitched: Selecting the right underwear is critical to sucess
OldUncleDan: Suprised there wasn't a lot of games that to advantage of that.
TheThirdTail: @JonnyGlitched I believe the correct option is "none" :v
djalternative: I guess the first question in class is, ranged, dps, or support?
Metric_Furlong: Sorcerer: magic; Warlock: Magic but Goth; Wizard: Magic but nerd, basically
JonnyGlitched: @OldUncleDan I've never played a 4e computer game
margieargie: @TheThirdTail That's how I'm doing my playthrough <_<
nickthecatbear: Any class works perfectly well, so choose whatever seems cool to you
SquareDotCube:
Looking for Rogue huh? 
N2Osferatu: Druid can turn INTO a cat
JonnyGlitched: Temple of Elemental Evil was the moste "true to rules" 3e I've played
malsareus: wanna be a bear?
TheThirdTail: @margieargie Yep, same. It just amuses me
Traion: @JonnyGlitched NWN2 was pretty much RAW
djalternative: oh right. If you're going for Owlbear friend, Druid might make it easier
Gaz_L: Paladin AKA mod
Traion: Paladin actually has to stick to their oath in this it is really neat
nickthecatbear: Druids and rangers are most animal-focused if you want to lean into owlbear
JonnyGlitched: @Traion It's so weird, I kinda bounced off the art style of NWN2
nickthecatbear: they can both speak with animals with a spell
JonnyGlitched: Druids ARE fun
draxov: You can multiclass later too
TXC2:
Gaz_L thems fighting words 
TheThirdTail: Druids can be mushroom mages
accountmadeforants: Oh yeah, Druids get immediate access to the ability to speak with animals, and Larian is very keen on adding animal dialogue
ExachixKitsune: Hehehehe ICE KNIFE
JonnyGlitched: You can swap out youyr spells too
spurius: I prefer cha characters just so they can be the face
JonnyGlitched: (outside of combat)
BrindleBoar: knifce
Scarbble: a nice ife
ReachW: Knice
djalternative: Druid and Ranger are the best for animal aquisition
Metric_Furlong:
@TXC2 yes, but more offensive for the Paladins, surely? 
SaxPython: knice ife?
draxov: Knice Life
Traion:
@JonnyGlitched The artstyle? Not the fact that you spend the first like 30h trying to get through a town gate? Or that it ends with literally "rocks fall everyone dies"? 
Sethalidos: plus there is the Owlbear Orbital Cannon
InquisitorGaia: you can break your oath as palladin in this its called the oathbreaker subclass, and its super broken
malsareus: Speak with animals is really useful
Traion: Speak with Animals is the best spell in the game
margieargie: @TheThirdTail I've eventually settled on Cleric of Eilistraee, so it's even a bit of a roleplay option in my case (not quite, but close enough).
JonnyGlitched: @Traion I did find the beginning frustrating but didn't know why
Traion: There are so many animals you can talk too
JonnyGlitched: I think the best NWN was the expansions to the first one
Metric_Furlong: @Traion they don't *all* die, the protagonist gets to wake up in a different, better campaign kappa
Metric_Furlong:
* 
N2Osferatu: Yea, Speak wihth Animals as a ritual is amazing. How many voiced animals did they do, it's mad!
margieargie: @JonnyGlitched Oh, yeah, HotU had a LOT going for it
Scarbble: speak with animals is great
Traion: @JonnyGlitched Disagree the best NWN is NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer. Which is one of the best crpg stories ever
malsareus: animal talk is a long standing thing in Larian games, I love it
margieargie: Fun story, good design, Deekin...
Gaz_L: stick, knife, pokier stick
JonnyGlitched: You probably won't be using weapons much as a Druid
accountmadeforants:
@N2Osferatu D:OS(2) had a similar thing, and they gave you an amulet to gain the ability so all their hard work didn't go to waste

Metric_Furlong: knifeless knife technology
Scarbble: curvy knife
sophieghost: Everything is knives
ReachW: that's like, anti-knife
Gaz_L: i see you've played knifey armory before
JonnyGlitched: @Traion Well I have it so I might have to reinstall
iarethel0ser: It's a knife that's larger and less sharp and protects you from other knife.
OldUncleDan: I wish the subclasses from Xanthar's and Tasha's were in here. I really want to play a Rogue-Scout.
JonnyGlitched: Can you swap out your cantrips?
LurkerSpine: Is the console version of BG3 different, or did I completely miss menus during character creation?
ExachixKitsune: oooh a druid
N2Osferatu: Less console and more controller
TehAmelie: everything can be knives if you master the knife eye magic spell
Traion: Guidance is super nice to have
malsareus: Guidance is stupidly good
zeathean: Guidance it great
N2Osferatu: Controller menus and scheme are different
JonnyGlitched: Oh they don't have Frostbite nevermind
Gaz_L: guidance is super good in this
LurkerSpine: neat
JonnyGlitched: I'd go with Shillegah OR Thornwip
margieargie:
Guidance is great and I forget it's a cantrip so I don't use it enough 
N2Osferatu: Good call. For a first time, the defaults are totally fine
Gaz_L: fem/masc smol or BEEG
malsareus: so, how big do you want to be?
accountmadeforants: Medium Femme, Medium Masc, Big Femme, Big Masc
JonnyGlitched: You get access to some wild eye types
micalovits: I do wish they had more differenct voices for the player
JonnyGlitched: I like 6
accountmadeforants: I was a bit disappointed with the voices here, they felt a bit samey. Guess I was spoiled by Monster Hunter
StarShock2002: Hello
margieargie: Sadly, the body type options are still a -bit- more restricted than I like (when it comes to body fat), but I guess this game has had enough work put in as it is
Clockwork_Penguin: I very much enjoyed that this game let me play a large trans lady
Gaz_L: for some of these you can hit X and get a menu instead of flicking through
djalternative: We're all 5yo
JonnyGlitched: How long was it till those vocals kicked in?
N2Osferatu: All Colors doesn't quite give a wild choice, but still pretty varied
N2Osferatu: Bubblegum Tiefling!
TXC2: no 16bit colour chart?
JonnyGlitched: Lots of shades of purple which is nice
djalternative: Blue Raspberry flavored Tiefling
accountmadeforants: I'm so glad for those All Colours checkboxes.
beowuuf:
no rgb hex? 
N2Osferatu:
Pantone skin colors 
djalternative: what candy flavor is the tiefling going to be?
TXC2:
this chart has some weird organization 
Fatalmacattack: light blues look great
N2Osferatu:
@djalternative "Chalky Disappointment" flavor 
djalternative: Grape flavored tiefling?
Scarbble: mmm, grape
TXC2: ah yes the famously mauve coloured moon
SaxPython: my skin would be so bright, I would have disadvantage on stealth checks.
TXC2:

Fatalmacattack: decisions decisions
N2Osferatu: Fantasy moons can be any color!
N2Osferatu: Or Sailors. I hear they can be sailors.
JonnyGlitched: Wait till you get to the horn selection
Gaz_L:
p sure Toril's moon is the normal colour 
djalternative: I'm here for grape or raspberry flavored tiefling
margieargie: "Moon" here referring to Moon Elves, which are that color in this setting
margieargie: Sometimes at least
Fatalmacattack: 2
Gaz_L: 3 looks cute
draxov: Druid of the grapes
JonnyGlitched: zoom in
accountmadeforants: We're going for the Inverse Piccolo look
TXC2:
so 100% = my face now? 
accountmadeforants: Gotta be Anime As Fuck
TXC2:
well we're an OC now 
Juliamon: Where's the fun in a fantasy setting if you can't be heterochromic
margieargie: You're the Main Character, of course you do!
Metric_Furlong: ew, humans
JonnyGlitched: This game has a thing for eyes
N2Osferatu: Can you do the whites a different color too? I think?
accountmadeforants: @N2Osferatu Yeah, that's the bottom stuff
N2Osferatu: Black pits of despair!
N2Osferatu: Awesome
JonnyGlitched: Pink and purple classic combo
Gaz_L: pink is good
accountmadeforants: Those are "intended" for the Dargons, hence the "Flame" prefix.
TehAmelie: i bet you could make Dark'ness Dementia Raven if you wanted
JonnyGlitched: They're actual flames too
Gaz_L: one pink one blue, like a mixed slushee
JonnyGlitched: the irisis move
accountmadeforants: (I also went for black sclera, because that's just Fantasy baby)
TehAmelie: sorry, Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven
N2Osferatu:
One red eye and one blue eye, for #d effect 
N2Osferatu: 3d
corianderd: awww yiss I didn't miss the strem
JonnyGlitched: You look like a box of Nerds candy
TXC2: hello corianderd
Metric_Furlong: hey Cori
Gaz_L:
hi Cori 
margieargie: One red and one green, so other boats know which direction you're going at night

TehAmelie: the tattooes full beard was pretty fun
corianderd: that's the one i went with
accountmadeforants: I kinda disliked that they didn't include a blurb on what the tattoos represent. Not super keen on putting words or weird symbols on my face without knowing what they mean. (Even if the game never does anything with them.)
draxov: Griefling
TXC2: that really makes the eye look evil
thunderbird32: This game is so excellent, and I'm super excited someone from LRR is playing through it. Looking forward to this!
JonnyGlitched: You may be looking at this face for a hundred hours

Maximals2000: That tattoo fits with the different colored eyes
Metric_Furlong: @JonnyGlitched and then, once we're done with character creation, for the rest of the game too
167 raiders from BraveNewFaves have joined!
accountmadeforants:
@BrowneePoints Exactly what I was worried about 
SK__Ren: oooh right at the start
naythn: ahoy!
TXC2: hello Raiders

Gaz_L: hi Kathleen and friends
KBKarma: Sudden raid!

JonnyGlitched: The brick red is really good
Gaz_L: ooh, the darker purple looks good
TheMerricat:
@JonnyGlitched I'm sure you'll be happy to know tattoo mods were one of the first in the rush to mod the game 
AnjaBech:
I'm so happy you're doing baldur's gate. I have covid and I need something lovely to distract me 
PharaohBender27: @AnjaBech Best wishes for a swift recovery!
TXC2:
AnjaBech get well soon 
serramarkov: I come bearing news of an impending raid!
JonnyGlitched: @TheMerricat I'll probably install the magic underpants first
AnjaBech:

serramarkov: Kathleen's stream just finished
BrowneePoints: then you can play cool not tiefling things like Kobolds or Firbold or Full Orc @TheMerricat
Ciijay: I had to check that immediately before streaming too
TXC2: "aye, we had first raid, but what about second raid?"
TheMerricat: Oh and for any Wiggins folk who aren't in his Discord, he's feeling better Covidwise but not planning on streaming tonight.
BrowneePoints: Firbolg*
JonnyGlitched: I'm going to wait a few patched before modding heavily
Ciijay: Also ohhhh is this the PS5 version? the character creation looks a lot easier...
JonnyGlitched: I'm always so bad at eyeshadow
N2Osferatu: Might just be "with controller"
Gaz_L: Larian do good controller support
TXC2:
what's the bet we're gonna do all this work, then put a helmet on for the whole game? 
Gaz_L: and yes, this is how it looks on PC with controller too
woodlandfell: No spoilers chat today? I just started
TheThirdTail: @TXC2 You can always disable helmet display
Ciijay: I might need to play with controller just so it's a bit easier on my eyes. Some computer UI is rough
PharaohBender27: @TXC2 Relatively high chances, I say
micalovits:
@TXC2 Thats why you hide the helmet!

@Juliamon My, what a very specific exception 
JonnyGlitched: I'm a sucker for dark eyeshadow
Wicker_Guide: this does look like the kind of person who would have an owlbear pet
ExachixKitsune: @PharaohBender27 gotta ensure priorities are set
TheMerricat: Much like cats, you don't have owlbear pets, you become owlbear pets.
JonnyGlitched: There is a way that gets you more XP, and there is a kinder way
corianderd: Everyone in Fearun wears grape flavoured lip gloss. It's canon
serramarkov: Owlbears are adorable, unless they're trying to disembowel you; then, they're terrifying.

Metric_Furlong: heather
serramarkov: oh, for sure!
beowuuf: this is chill vibes
TheMerricat:
So... here is where my ignorance comes into play in real life... since we've joined Heather's been clicking on buttons to adjust the makeup and I couldn't see ANY changes to the face whatsoever.... am I makeup blind chat? 
TXC2: Owlbears max out on both want to pet and must not pet
Juliamon: TheMerricat Depends where on the face you've been looking
N2Osferatu: @TheMerricat The eye makeup she was doing was really subtle
UncannyJimjams: Oh sweet, Baldur's Gate! What are you building Heather?
Metric_Furlong: yeah, going to have to dock points on the scar scale here
Gaz_L: a little, maybe, TheMerricat the makeup options are just for eyes and lips
JonnyGlitched: @TXC2 mine loves being pet!
Wicker_Guide: @TheMerricat we spent a while on eyeshadow, then some more on lip gloss, now looking at scarification
JonnyGlitched: Cutest ever "Ooo! More!"
Gaz_L: might wanna do horns first?
StarShock2002: I went for the scar on the lip and eyebrow as it's weirdly similar to the scars I actually have from a car accident as a child
N2Osferatu: There's some real Prince Adam options here, it's amazing/terrible
corianderd: I always do the eye scar. They are the best
BrowneePoints: oh yea which Devil Sire did you pick for Sub-Ancestry?
djalternative: 80's rocker tiefling who's basist in a band?
JonnyGlitched: Most helmets are not worth having visible, a few cirlcets are nice
Gaz_L: smol horns are like cat ears?
ghyllnox: Hornless? This is definitely a horny playthrough
Metric_Furlong: which coils?
ThirdGames: the gold tipped ones are always my go-to
JonnyGlitched: dic coils!
JonnyGlitched: whoops
malsareus: I love me some horn coils
JonnyGlitched: dis*
N2Osferatu: Ramhorns are good ith hair
JonnyGlitched: I belive you can get jewlery for the horns?
SK__Ren: I made one with swept back horns combined with buns behind them that looked super cute
JonnyGlitched: Always a fan of "Rebel" hair
N2Osferatu: Hair flippies!
JonnyGlitched: You will notice when an NPC has the same hairdo
TXC2: I feel like hair in front of the horns look odd
JonnyGlitched: I'm just like "Hot... Hot... Hot..."
patrick_stonecrusher: The buns looked good with the horns imo
raulghoulia: I would like to say I like this music
Wicker_Guide: this is not the dorothy you are looking for

OldUncleDan: So is there something going down by the river that we need to be knowing about?
SquareDotCube: the problem with horns is that hairdos with loose bangs rarely work
accountmadeforants: That one haircut with the horns makes you look like Karen Omega
JonnyGlitched: @OldUncleDan don't follow the voice
TXC2: !advice
LRRbot: Chuckles was useless.
Sakarri1324: I love the music
Wicker_Guide: @OldUncleDan but who shall wear the robe and crown?
JonnyGlitched: This is pretty much the only song in the game and it's done so well you won't notice
TehAmelie: it's nice, but i think i prefer Bruce Springsteen's original
Wicker_Guide: imo the scar makes her pupil look like a bruise
OldUncleDan: @JonnyGlitched But, I live roughly four blocks from a major river. If something's going on, I need to know about it!
TXC2: these lyrics reminded me of the song from bastion
JonnyGlitched: @OldUncleDan sorry, no spoilers
OldUncleDan: DANG IT!
TheMerricat:
@TXC2 I was just getting ready to mention that too. 
accountmadeforants: @Wicker_Guide Bloodninja will step up, it's not quite their robe and wizard hat, but it'll do
TXC2: TheMerricat oh good I'm not alone
SquareDotCube: I think the low buns work better
JonnyGlitched: It's also a commentary on the geography of the land, you have to follow the river
Metric_Furlong: credit where it's due, this is like Dragon's Dogma levels of hairstyle options
margieargie:
The bun and braid combo makes it look one or two steps away from punishing people in the name of the moon 
JonnyGlitched: not in any specific way
Metric_Furlong: (same can't be said for the scars, unfortunately)
JonnyGlitched: 3rd time the music has looped
accountmadeforants: One day a game will let us have truly giant hair that goes down to our ankles, but until then, this is pretty sweet
Wicker_Guide: @margieargie now I kind of want that fanfic
malsareus: you could make her Hatsune Miku
BrindleBoar:
accountmadeforants uh that game was called Bayonetta 
Metric_Furlong: or Hatsune Micheal
JonnyGlitched: @accountmadeforants Bayonetta
SquareDotCube:
or pink 
MehallD: @accountmadeforants If I can't build Cousin It in your game, It's not a 10/10
accountmadeforants: I meant in character customization
creatorworks: You can make it darker by using the Greying: Black option
djalternative: pink tends to be the compliment to purple
JonnyGlitched: Peach
Fatalmacattack: blonde?
Metric_Furlong: !uptime
LRRbot: The stream has been live for 1:03:03.
malsareus: so you can actually pick 2 hair colors and the 2nd 1 will have strands
jacqui_lantern234:
an hour in and still on character creation? i see its the true BG3 experience!

jacqui_lantern234:
also hi nerds!!! 
JonnyGlitched: Wow only an hour we are speedrunning character creation
TXC2: hello jacqui_lantern234 welcome
PharaohBender27: Ahoy-hoy, @jacqui_lantern234 !
accountmadeforants:
Gotta go with a light yellow-ish green, to represent the other colour of grape 
creatorworks: Highlights and Greying make a huge difference in color
Chronomagistrate: For some reason the facial structure/shape and hair coming down the front is putting me in mind of Doctor Crusher / Gates McFaddden
JonnyGlitched: It's hard with so many colours already
warpstonewarlock: I think the darker shade is nice
Ms_LadyMix: The rose pink is really good
jacqui_lantern234:
@warpstonewarlock i think YOURE NICE!!!!!!! 
jacqui_lantern234:
@Ms_LadyMix YOURE really good!!!

Pal_Friendpatine:
Thank you @dem0nfire !! 
SquareDotCube: yeah, there is all highlights if you'd like a black
accountmadeforants: I did kinda miss SF6's wild highlights customizer here. But then, SF6's character creator is kind of in a different plane of existence compared to all other character creators.
jacqui_lantern234:
@Ms_LadyMix you spelled "mediocre jacqui" wrong 
malsareus: nice highlights
SquareDotCube: will this be going into the highlight reel?
Ms_LadyMix:
@jacqui_lantern234 you can’t be as nice as you are and not let us be nice to you, it’s rude 
JonnyGlitched: Just have a timelape with a clock
TXC2: SquareDotCube yes, this whole stream will be the highlights
margieargie:
I'm not 100% we'll be done with character creation by the end of this stream 
Wicker_Guide: We will definitely be making hour 1, hour 2, hour 4, hour bear clips
serramarkov: I'm drowning filth, must change loads
malsareus: we have to finish character creation to save the character though
jacqui_lantern234: @margieargie you joke, yet i know someone who was on this screen for about a week
margieargie: (If nothing else, there's an entire second character to create, at least visually...)
N2Osferatu: Oh no, I forgot about that
Coloneljesus: isn't this the entire game? is there something after the character creation?
accountmadeforants:
Don't you hate getting older and starting to find deeply saturated purple strands of hair? 
malsareus: I saw a tweet of someone who made Hatsune Miku with Hatsune Mike as guardian
artemi7: A hour in, still in character creation? Peak gaming, GOTY ez
jacqui_lantern234:
@Coloneljesus a whole game after the game?!?!?! shh... it is legend 
TXC2: right I need to go shower, so I'm off
Coloneljesus: have a good shower
margieargie:
@jacqui_lantern234 Having to go back and spend an hour or two doing somethnig else with the hair or whatever is half of why I've kept restarting the game instead of advancing through the story 
jacqui_lantern234:
@TXC2 hi "off" nice to meet you! 
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Heather
Duwani1: it is tiefling Alexa Bliss
beowuuf:

PharaohBender27: Goodnight, TXC2!
They_Are_Alyx: This is a fun ombre
NorthstarTex: Truely the dark souls of character creation
Juliamon: Remember, Serge half-assed his character creation and he's been full of regret ever since. Let that be a lesson.
JonnyGlitched: Full Dwarven
raulghoulia: a great big bushy beard
OldUncleDan: That face shape reminds me of Elizabeth Olsen.
jacqui_lantern234: so chat, do you ever get in the mood where you wanna devour an entire stock pot of mashed potatoes?
jacqui_lantern234: cause thats my current state of mind
arkham1981: Hair going through the horns is weird
Wicker_Guide: @jacqui_lantern234 I call that wednesday
margieargie: Right, this has some... interesting horn color options for those with certain interests back in the early 2010s <_<
JonnyGlitched: @jacqui_lantern234 that would involve mashing
raulghoulia: @jacqui_lantern234 didn't know that was an option. Now I do
Duwani1: @jacqui_lantern234 there is no wrong amount of Mashed Potatoes
PharaohBender27: @jacqui_lantern234 Can't say I actually have
artemi7: Not mashed potatoes, but I have eaten and entire bag of chips in one session before
JonnyGlitched: @jacqui_lantern234 protien over carbs
accountmadeforants: It occurs to me I should try making my original character (donut steel) Nicol Smolas in this.
jacqui_lantern234:
@PharaohBender27 if theres anyone in chat who can do it in 1 sitting, its probably me 
Wicker_Guide: @margieargie it's past 2020. that's not shameful anymore
ladyjessica:
Stepped away listening for a bit and I just saw the change since I last saw things. Looks great 
SquareDotCube: How red can we make those horns
Coloneljesus: I wish I could change the horn color when I made my human male character
JonnyGlitched: kinfa good clash
JonnyGlitched: kinda*
artemi7: The red makes them look bloodstained
Suffix: Green and purple is a classic.
Coloneljesus: maybe orange horns?
Fatalmacattack: cycle them all..... this is the most important part
Metric_Furlong: @Suffix the old "EVA Unit 01" special
JonnyGlitched: I don't like the painted looking ones
JonnyGlitched: Dark is good
Suffix: Oooh. Teal matches the other eye.
Juliamon: I like a neutral colour for the horns here, to contrast the hair
accountmadeforants:
@Metric_Furlong More a Piccolo Classic 
Suffix: @accountmadeforants I was thinking Lex Luther.
TehAmelie: painting your horns seems like a real pain in the butt. you could never clean paint out of the grooves, you'd be forever repainting to keep it from looking crap as it wears down
raulghoulia: green and purple. classic villain colors
Juliamon: Turns out green and purple is just a good combo
Fatalmacattack: what if you inverted?
SkylerRingtail: Tuning in late. Glad (unsurprised) to see we're still in character creation
JonnyGlitched: @TehAmelie you could paint them with the blood of your enemies
Coloneljesus: @TehAmelie you'd need a LOOOOOT of nail polish (and remover)
corianderd: red for bloooooood
TehAmelie: ehe
corianderd: eww dust horn
artemi7: painting with blood seems like it'd be sticky and flake off
JonnyGlitched: I think all Teiflings have to sleep only on their back
accountmadeforants:
@TehAmelie Maybe you just dunk 'em in vats instead of actually painting 
SquareDotCube: A color to pop might be in horn details if that's a thing
Wicker_Guide: tiefling horn salon: get your horns decorated while you relax in a soothing bath
Juliamon: Do tieflings even sleep?
JonnyGlitched: The probably have custom neck pillows
warpstonewarlock: it looks great
malsareus: @Juliamon according to this game yes
artemi7: Tieflings don't meditate like elves do, so... I assume they sleep?
JonnyGlitched: @Juliamon Yes, they not eld
JonnyGlitched: elf*
TheThirdTail: @Juliamon afaik the only peoples who don't truly sleep in this setting are elves
Wicker_Guide: and the elves basically do sleep, except that they claim otherwise
accountmadeforants: Yeah, Tieflings are fairly "normal" as things go.
ReeceNightshade: Elves do the trance thing, but past that everybody normally sleeps
Juliamon: Elf meditation is just the "I was resting my eyes" excuse
SkylerRingtail: So chat, what's Heather making? A Tiefling Druid?
TehAmelie: even fruit flies sleep. it's so important to relax your neurons
Coloneljesus: dads on couches are elves confirmed
accountmadeforants: @SkylerRingtail Ye
JonnyGlitched: Warforged don't sleep but they're not in this setting
SquareDotCube: I think I'm just one for the classic silver small hoop near the tip
artemi7: Warforged don't really count anyway
artemi7: Unless Warforged dream of lightning sheep
N2Osferatu: Defaults are perfectly fine
corianderd: tieflings just sleep standing. the tail keeps them balanced
frnknstn: No spoilers, but is there a tiefling party NPC?
N2Osferatu: Ya
corianderd: @frnknstn yes
Coloneljesus: 90minutes spent on looks. 30s spent on stats. that's the way we roll
artemi7: There's a romaance option, yes
CaptainSpam: Rock-stupid, but very wise.
accountmadeforants: @frnknstn Yes, but they're suitably different
N2Osferatu: Druids can choose from all these at any point so it's no biggie
JonnyGlitched: You can swap your spells at will
JonnyGlitched: everything but your cantrips
Wicker_Guide: yep
SquareDotCube: What's better, heal or goodberry?
malsareus: you have all the spells but you can only prepare some
JonnyGlitched: On paper it's "long rest", in game it's "outside combat"
accountmadeforants: Yeah, there's a menu where you can prepare spells whenever (cannot be used by the Wiz- I mean, by the Sorcerer)
Sakarri1324: Love druid
BrowneePoints: yea Druid gets to prepare from a big list
GDwarble: Yeah, but fortunately most classes, including Druids, can swap spells at any time out of combat
SoldieroFortune: !uptime
LRRbot: The stream has been live for 1:19:21.
JonnyGlitched: Goodberry not that useful
SkylerRingtail: @JonnyGlitched Which is a change I might incorporate into my home games
artemi7: Who needs spells when you have WILD SHAPE
Juliamon: Prepared is your hotbar, known is your inventory
Sakarri1324: I took talk with animals lol
N2Osferatu: Speak with animals is alwasy A+
malsareus: thunderwave is quite fun
N2Osferatu: And it lasts all day
micalovits: How many hints/help do you want for mechanics and such?
Sakarri1324: The animal interactions are hilarious
JonnyGlitched: @SkylerRingtail Prepared casters are already the most powerful casting class, and a nightmare if they have access to their entire spell list
accountmadeforants: Yeah, Goodberry is using an action to make your allies use an action to eventually get a tiny amount of healing. Not super.
TheThirdTail: Goodberry is adequate at low levels as a pseudo-short rest
JonnyGlitched: @SkylerRingtail every obsticale can be overcome by a 6th level Druid with the right spell
Ard_Rhys: healing word is never a bad idea
artemi7: @SkylerRingtail Preparing your spells is supposed to be a downside remember. Sorcerers might need some tweaks then
BrowneePoints: speaking of Tiefling Druids. If you haven't seen it chat, go watch the new D&D movie. It REAL good
malsareus: Heather requires a KNIFE
PharaohBender27:

iris_of_ether:

CururuGuasu: Knife time!
JonnyGlitched: All Druids are criminals right?
Wicker_Guide: @artemi7 and thus is why newer versions of D&D ditched most of these mechanics
Travilogue: Which background lets you install ghosts?
accountmadeforants: @artemi7 Sorcerers did get a few buffs in this game, but yeah, it's still not even remotely close to having that menu.
SkylerRingtail: I infer we aren't doing Dark Urge (for the best probably)
JonnyGlitched: Some of these have minor story beats
SoldieroFortune: so, just to confirm, Heather's been online for an hour, and we're still in character creation?
Juliamon: That is correct
Tripleyew: “Criminal” here could certainly = ecowarrior, I suppose
SoldieroFortune: Excellent. My kind of game, then.
PharaohBender27:

artemi7: Almost an hour and a half, really
Wicker_Guide: @SoldieroFortune we;re moving faster than expected tbh. Already halfway done
ReeceNightshade: @SoldieroFortune Yep! BG3 character creation can take upwards of 10hrs to complete :3
N2Osferatu: A smooth criminal>
JonnyGlitched: Stealth Bear!
margieargie:

malsareus: Hodor?
Juliamon: and now, the hard part
accountmadeforants: Breaking the law- breaking the law!
artemi7: Heather
SquareDotCube: Hornsune Mike
LiveFaust: Tiefany.
margieargie: This might be another hour
JonnyGlitched: Tav is good
Coloneljesus: Otaku Jeff
OldUncleDan: Yeah... Removing the "Prepared Spell" restriction pretty much reduces all of the Charisma based caster down to irrelavency.
N2Osferatu: @LiveFaust That's amazing
HorusFive: Otaku Jane?
Tripleyew: Nice, @livefaust
micalovits: Tiefany is amazing
Gaelan_Maestro: Tavitha
artemi7: @Coloneljesus wrong stream lol
jacqui_lantern234: @LiveFaust OH MY GOD THATS AMAZING
JonnyGlitched: Hodor
accountmadeforants: Grape Satan
jacqui_lantern234: im CACKLING at Tiefany
micalovits: A pund AND a good name
LiveFaust:

PharaohBender27: Thank you for your contribution to this PiF, @LiveFaust !
JonnyGlitched: Tiefany Deville
SaxPython: A+ no notes
Wicker_Guide: So, how hard are we leaning into the "Non-Binary/Other" designation? Character seems to be leaning pretty femme?
N2Osferatu: Amazing
margieargie:
Congrats for finishing designing your character! Now you get to do it again for another one 
malsareus: time for round 2
jacqui_lantern234: A+ name no notes
Critterbot:
But wait, there's more! 
accountmadeforants: Alright, great, now you get to do all of this all over again!
JonnyGlitched: HA
DentedPockets: And again!
GDwarble: Hehe
Juliamon: And now: PART TWO
JonnyGlitched: You're only half way done!
GhostValv:

Suffix: You need a Guardinan.
JonnyGlitched: GOTCHA
N2Osferatu: FYI this matters waaaaaaay less
Coloneljesus: Character creation, PART TWO
artemi7: Time for character creation part 2!
raulghoulia: just got bamboozled
sophieghost: Oh no
JonnyGlitched: Build a Waifu
N2Osferatu: No dragons, For Reasons*
Wicker_Guide: only main characters get cool dragon bits
accountmadeforants:
I just made a fem version of my masc character for this, made things fairly straightforward 
NorthstarTex: wait no dragonborns? 0/10
raulghoulia: dragons don't believe in marriage
JonnyGlitched: Oh so you like Drows?
Piratical_tendancies: Randomise!!
artemi7: @raulghoulia but... but shrek~!
JonnyGlitched: Short Queen!
margieargie: You can always give whatever random results you get mutton chops anyway
frozenphoenix7: I see we've made it to the 2nd boss
Metric_Furlong: why not full elf?

SaxPython: I love that the dwarves give the camera that Lord Farquat action
JonnyGlitched: Rugby Player!
Coloneljesus: is this like a legal guardian or.....
gualdhar: ah, truly the hardest part of this game, character selection
JonnyGlitched: @Coloneljesus Don't worry about it
frozenphoenix7: @Coloneljesus It's fine, don't worry about it
thunderbird32:
Surely a half-orc would be more fitting then 
JonnyGlitched:

djalternative: Are we naming the guardian Jen Walters?
N2Osferatu: She-Hulk. Attrouney at Sword
artemi7: @thunderbird32 Maybe they're half elf half orc?
TehAmelie: at least we don't have to pick their class too apparently?
accountmadeforants: She-Hulk or Green Goblina
Coloneljesus: your guardian is Blanka?
gualdhar: She-hulk doesn't have fangs last I checked
thunderbird32: @artemi7 Ooh, fair
thunderbird32: @gualdhar Doesn't have pointed ears either, and yet here we are
frozenphoenix7: @artemi7 Half Elf Half Orc All Guardian
JonnyGlitched: It's gender bent Green Goblin
adept_nekomancer: @N2Osferatu Phoenix Wright: Baldur's Gate edition

Coloneljesus: @NorthstarTex this isn't our PC
N2Osferatu: @adept_nekomancer I cast Obejction! at 4th level
JonnyGlitched: that texture pop in tho
artemi7: Would She Hulk or Daredevil make a better Guardian /Attorney, I wonder
LiveFaust: Cuuute!
TehAmelie: Daredevil is the strongest lawyer in the marvel universe in all the stories i've read. . .
JonnyGlitched: Fantasy Dream Bae complete
NorthstarTex: !findquote guardian
LRRbot: Could not find any matching quotes.
Critterbot: She Hulk has jet black hair though iirc.
Coloneljesus: I'd let her guard me
JonnyGlitched: then the 3rd one
N2Osferatu: Yesss
Wicker_Guide: @TehAmelie yeah but friends of daredevil are kinda cursed
micalovits: Done one hour early!
thunderbird32:
Good game everyone! 
JonnyGlitched:
there's still 3 more to go 
ExachixKitsune:
only 1h30m; pretty good! 
malsareus: rumors of gameplay
They_Are_Alyx: !uptime
LRRbot: The stream has been live for 1:30:37.
SkylerRingtail: *Vibrates excitedly*
TehAmelie: especially lady friends. i take your point
JonnyGlitched: This is the whole game
PharaohBender27: G...game?
Tripleyew: @n2osferatu “Objection!” should definitely be a reskinned Counterspell
Coloneljesus: how has there not been a Sims with DnD races yet???
margieargie: Oh, right, there's game aside from this
frnknstn: Is this a WR? I am not up on the chargen% speedrun
JonnyGlitched: @Coloneljesus The Sims 3: Makin' Magic
JonnyGlitched: kidding
serramarkov: I found the charger for my switch lite!
JonnyGlitched: @serramarkov hooray!
margieargie:
I wonder how many times "Down by the River" has played so far this stream (and it sure won't be ending here
)
JonnyGlitched: This is the.. 4th or 5th loop[
wildpeaks:
ahh BG3 
MystechJ subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 16 months!
MystechJ: I'm back for this
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, MystechJ! (Today's storm count: 54)
PharaohBender27: At least it has a nice leitmotif
SkylerRingtail: It might be heresy to confess, but I maaay have muted character creation after half an hour
wildpeaks: *gasp*
accountmadeforants: I like how both Elden Ring and BG3 just went, "What if... what if we just went hard on the brass?"
PharaohBender27:
Got tired of the music? 
Coloneljesus: we Venture Forth!
MehallD: Hour and a half to beat the first boss, not bad
thunderbird32:
Nope cutscene 
BrindleBoar: eye trauma resumes
ExachixKitsune: back at the start of this, bad times
wildpeaks:
ahh I arrived just in time 
artemi7: All downhill from here?
Wicker_Guide: flayerfriend
Suffix: Eye squiggies.
JonnyGlitched: That was all a dream you don't get to pick your char
margieargie: Don't worry, no more stuff going into eyes this cutscene
richard_ermen: Yay, I joined at just the right time ^^
artemi7: I can't belive the game doesn't let you make a mindflayer character ;~;
ExachixKitsune: Mind flayer? More like mind layer amiright?! (I'm wrong)
JonnyGlitched: This is a baller cutscene
malsareus: that scene goes way harder than it has any right to
Suffix: @ExachixKitsune No no. I agree.
Wicker_Guide: This Mass Effect prequel is neat
PharaohBender27: Well this town looks like it's fucked
Coloneljesus: it going hard is literally its job
SaxPython: I don't remember this scene from the Little Mermaid
JonnyGlitched: This cutscene deserves it own movie
NorthstarTex: I've that ship on a card
PMAvers: The BUS IS COMING!
ThirdGames: Remember to thank the bus driver!
wildpeaks: today's forecast: rainy with a chance of squids
margieargie: !venga
LRRbot: Walk without rhythm, and you won't attract the Venga Bus.
Juliamon: "Shoot, I forgot my bus pass!"
Coloneljesus: this is almost at old-blizzard level
Suffix: @PMAvers No. Please. There is still time.
Critterbot:
Wilhelm! 
BrowneePoints: CW: Body Horror
LiveFaust: Wilhelm?!
MehallD: goddamn wilhelm scream
artemi7: Wait, is this what happens when we let Heather drive the bus?
HorusFive: Like the bus to work
wildpeaks: "warning: the squidbus is coming"
BrindleBoar: bus is coming
TheThirdTail: The bus is here for you (ominous)
They_Are_Alyx: @artemi7 In a way, all PCs are potential mind flayers
GDwarble: I'd ride a squid-bus, except for the eye-tadpole thing
loufghyslaufey: Yes, yes . . . Fall Baldur!
thunderbird32: Dargon
accountmadeforants: Yeah, this was part of the announcement trailer, I think? Either way, it was incredibly hype (and still is)
JonnyGlitched: These are high level aventureres\
Critterbot:
They jsut put that in there for the heck of it, didn't they? 
Invitare: Dragons: Known mortal enemies of squids
JonnyGlitched: Everyone gets a Dragon
margieargie: Ah, there's the dragons, now we just need some dungeons
GDwarble: Dragons and squid, natural enemies
petey_vonwho: I wanna ride a freaking dragon
Thandres: its always the worst when your bus gets held up by dimension travelling dragons
HorusFive: Shoulda prepped featherfall
SkylerRingtail: New Unskipable season coming, starting with this cutscene
Chrysoprase: Flame grilled mega calamiri.
ExachixKitsune: "Dragons don't like the bus" Look out for November
gualdhar: Dragons don't like the buss, they'd prefer to fly
SaxPython: Where we droppin'
wildpeaks: oh yeah, this would be great for Unskippable
JonnyGlitched: I'm not sure on Dragon opinions of Illithid
gualdhar:
damn Heather got there first 
Lithobraker: The bus driver had a bit too much of his hip flask had a small fender bender.
TheTekkieman: Cosmic Bass!
Wicker_Guide: dragons not supporters of alternative forms of public transport
SK__Ren: The Ilithid Bus is coming, the Illithid Bus is coming. From Faerun to Avernus, the Flayers want to turn us.
TehAmelie: all things being equal, i'd rather have a flying nautilus battleship than a dragon
accountmadeforants: !bus
Coloneljesus: ilithids just wanna play the bass
artemi7: wait teleporting dragons? Does this game take place on Pern?!
90 raiders from Seabats have joined!
loufghyslaufey: What does blinking do for them here?
Coloneljesus: hey Adam watchers!
SaxPython:

JonnyGlitched: You will
ExachixKitsune: Welcome trogdelights
wildpeaks: Adam just in time for the squid bus
JonnyGlitched: Wanna get a cool sword?
Wicker_Guide: the cord is called an "artery" and the answer to how to pull it is "hard"
Suffix:

Chrysoprase: Your life.
0x6772: 1 soul.\
NorthstarTex: the fare is the bug
Astramentha: Your soul
micalovits: Nono, we got paid 1 worm thing for getting ON the bus
arkham1981: the bus pays you
SaxPython: Bus is surprisingly flamable
artemi7: You'
Metric_Furlong: the bug is obviously the ticket, chat
Suffix: You ARE the bus.
JonnyGlitched: Gith Butt
JonnyGlitched: 3!
PMAvers: Oh no, they teleported us to Kansas.
artemi7: You get paid to ride the bus, just like Desert Bus
NorthstarTex: !findquote bus

wildpeaks: traffic jams are hell for buses
malsareus: somewhat yes
micalovits: Bus straigh to hell
HorusFive: I think I missed my stop
JonnyGlitched: Desert Bus 3
petey_vonwho: I'm sure she's fine. She is fine, right?
Thandres: always the rudest passangers that get on in hell
malsareus: so welcome to Hell
Wicker_Guide: I knew we should have taken that left turn at albuquerque
MehallD: @malsareus well, one of them
JonnyGlitched: This isn't where I parked my Horse
SquareDotCube: just trying to rest in a tree
LiveFaust: Ripley gets out of her pod...
HorusFive: 1:38 to gameplay. Well done
Ciijay: Remember to manually save
malsareus: Always Be Saving
NorthstarTex: so uh, welcome to the bus crew
PMAvers: I mean, if this has a sleeper cabin would this be more of a train than a bus?
GDwarble: When I reached this point my game had issues loading, so my character was standing up, through the pod, in a T-pose, then just kinda teleported onto the ground
accountmadeforants: I hope someone's made a Grave Digger character just so they could do that one "opening the pod" cutscene with him
raulghoulia: !card nautiloid
LRRbot: Nautiloid Ship [4] | Artifact — Vehicle [5/5] | Flying / When Nautiloid Ship enters the battlefield, exile target player's graveyard. / Whenever Nautiloid Ship deals combat damage to a player, you may put a creature card exiled with Nautiloid Ship onto the battlefield under your control. / Crew 3
wildpeaks: it's so cool that they made very different controls for console and keyboard
Wicker_Guide: wait, did Heather get to choose her voice or is there only one femme voice actor?
malsareus: also the Narrator is GREAT
wildpeaks: *gamepad, not console I mean
thunderbird32: Yay, our DM joins us
Lithobraker: The bug is part of a new pilot program to encourage repeat usage of public transit
GDwarble: The narrator is a lot of fun
wildpeaks: ow
artemi7: There's a few femme voices
Coloneljesus: yay
accountmadeforants: @Wicker_Guide There are 4 voices for fem/masc each and they all sound basically the same
Coloneljesus: welcome to DnD
PharaohBender27: "Wait who the hell are you, voice in my head?"
NightValien28: flawless
margieargie: Yep
wildpeaks: perfect
SaxPython:

JonnyGlitched: @accountmadeforants every time my character says "See what's inside" I'm reminded of the Reavers from Firefly
petey_vonwho: Well, that could have gone better
BrindleBoar: touchy? no touchy
Wicker_Guide: @accountmadeforants ah, RPG staple then
NightValien28: that was the perfect example of backfire
malsareus: we won!
Coloneljesus: you break it you buy it
wildpeaks: cursed to put our hands on everything
Wicker_Guide: all's well that ends in fire
Metric_Furlong: dead good
JonnyGlitched: Wow racist
They_Are_Alyx:

Traion: Playing 5 seconds and already stealing
Astramentha: It’s not stealing if they’re dead
Metric_Furlong: psionics: like magic but with your mind
Wicker_Guide: it's graverobbing
JonnyGlitched: resplendant is an interesting word to use
Coloneljesus: if yall don't know, there are multiple outtake videos from the narrator VA
artemi7: Hurtling through the planes... how much white mana did they need?
Metric_Furlong:
@Wicker_Guide technically he was not in a grave 
Wicker_Guide: point. at that point it's just looting. carry on then
42MiLLyWays: brilliant name btw
raulghoulia: they call you rocketboots because that was your parents' last name
NorthstarTex: @coloneljesus those videos are amazing
JonnyGlitched: I'm not sure if you can get the rocketboots in this game (Winged Boots)
malsareus: hmmm, is there a highlight objects on the controller layout?
LiveFaust: "Rocketboots" is less a name and more a rank.
s0lesurviv0r: been re-watching Steven Universe and could swear MC's voice was Estelle(Garnet), but IMDB says no
JonnyGlitched: open wide
Metric_Furlong: press x to open sphincter
Coloneljesus: @LiveFaust what's the ones above and below that rank?
s0lesurviv0r: x to open *
SaxPython: Feels like Tiefany and Rooftop Karen are besties
JonnyGlitched: Can you hear it?
e_bloc:
666 tiefany rocketboots is an all-time great name
micalovits: Totally a good guy chair
Wicker_Guide: Look at me. I'm the captain now
corianderd: @SaxPython we've never asked how karen gets on the rooftops
JonnyGlitched: New Friend!
wildpeaks: ominous
SaxPython:

Wicker_Guide: he's not going to be in baldur's gate 4
LiveFaust: @coloneljesus MoonShoes is below.
JonnyGlitched: Friendly Brain!
SkylerRingtail: Brain fren!
NorthstarTex: brain friend?
OldUncleDan: @Coloneljesus Jetsandles and Ionpropolsiongreaves, respectively.
corianderd: hello Us
SK__Ren: Look chat, its Us
SkylerRingtail: It's Twtich chat!
loufghyslaufey: M,Kay. Byyyeeee!
Wicker_Guide: and we are totally trustworthy
NorthstarTex: I trust us
margieargie: Welp
wildpeaks: so close
MehallD: hah
JonnyGlitched: Hmm
PharaohBender27: Welp
raulghoulia: ooooh
SK__Ren: perfect
SaxPython: Man in a Jar v Squirmy Brain
artemi7:
The only probably with this mechanic is that the die doesn't randomly roll off the table sometimes 
e_bloc: I mean it's not brain surge--oh
TheTekkieman: And THAT is a reel moment.
NightValien28: NOTHING UNSUAL
accountmadeforants: Some-BODY once told me the dice were gonna roll me, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed!
Coloneljesus: perfectly normal brain that
TheTekkieman: Almost even more so than a natural 1.
GhostValv:
totally normal talking brain 
NightValien28: totally perfectly normal talking brain
JonnyGlitched:
Only ever dump Strength, there's only one skill check associated with it! 
FarleyF: Ah a Serge roll "off by one"
NorthstarTex: eyyy!

wildpeaks:

PharaohBender27: Oh this will *surely* go well
raulghoulia: Tiefany only rolls 10s
NightValien28: gently GENTLY oh snap
Coloneljesus: mhhhh spaghetti
wildpeaks: "gentle"
malsareus: realtively gentle
loufghyslaufey: Ew. That. Eww. What did that do?
JonnyGlitched: casual lobotomy
wildpeaks: pondering the orb, brain edition
artemi7: It's a cute little fren
malsareus: the half head in shot is kinda comedic
arkham1981: its fine
richard_ermen: Lo LO LOOOBOOTOOOOMMYYYYY
0x6772: Remember to spay and neuter your pet brains.
JonnyGlitched: This is a bad fight if you make it hostile
SnackPak_:

Wicker_Guide: welp
NorthstarTex: welp
richard_ermen: Whooops, now it can't see the colour green anymore.
e_bloc: oops
SaxPython:

Metric_Furlong: these animations are going to get old pretty fast, I suspect
niccus: it's just brain surgery
NightValien28: PUPPY
Coloneljesus: are we playing with the "karmic" dice?
SnackPak_: a friend!
JonnyGlitched: So cute!
wildpeaks:
aww puppy 
Juliamon: oh, it's adorable!
warpstonewarlock: oh no
loufghyslaufey: Ow. Ow. Ow...
s0lesurviv0r:

NorthstarTex: poor us...
JonnyGlitched: It's red on the minimap, not good.
They_Are_Alyx:

Wicker_Guide: you have not successfully made a friend of the braindog
micalovits: The body has -1 brain
Angnor33:

Critterbot: It's fine, brains doesn't have any nerve endings.
accountmadeforants: I love the LinkedIn-ass photo they gave the guy with the top of his head missing
SaxPython: Rip Myrnath
Coloneljesus: I feel like I've played this level in DOOM
wildpeaks: it's ok, it's gone to a farm upstate to play with other brains
Angnor33: Keeping pets is a learning experience, and sometimes you make mistakes. Like sticking your thumb in them.
SaxPython: @coloneljesus I was thinking Diablo 3
loufghyslaufey: Watch that haunt us on the way towards the cafe
frnknstn: This console UI seems good
JonnyGlitched: The Void Bulbs are super useful if you find them
Thandres: when they said they´d like to pick my brain at orientation i didnt sign up for THIS D:
artemi7: Surely they don't call THEMSELVES Mind Flayers, do they? Do they have an actual species name?
Coloneljesus: @SaxPython yeah, there too
Wicker_Guide: Illithid
margieargie: @artemi7 Illithids
warpstonewarlock: @artemi7 Illithid
JonnyGlitched: Sup Wife?
warpstonewarlock: rude
wildpeaks: we found the protagonist
malsareus: oh hi Lae'zal
Coloneljesus:
oop I got ur nose 
artemi7: Is this a Lae'zal bedding % run? lol
BrowneePoints: Bae'zel!
Invitare: Together! As famileee
OldUncleDan: So, what Specialization are we going to choose for her? I prefer the Green one!
JonnyGlitched: @BrowneePoints XD
frnknstn: Big "I'm the MC" energy
margieargie: She knows you can see her name already <_<
accountmadeforants: "We're crashing this plane! With SOME SURVIVORS!" -Lae'zel
Coloneljesus: lmao
micalovits: Lae'zel has VERY big MC energy yea
SaxPython: I'm the man now, Dawg
JonnyGlitched: Her Armor says "protagonist"
SkylerRingtail: Gotta get off the Brain Bus!
malsareus: preferably not in Avernus though
richard_ermen: In games like these I often wonder if people just ignore subtitels below their faces out of courtesy towards the storyteller instead of just reading everything from there.
petey_vonwho: I love that I know all the characters in this game because of Magic
corianderd: the gith are at an 11 and I need them at like a 6
gualdhar: wait, does she know how to drive a bus? do we?
Critterbot:
Not that kind of plane. 
artemi7: This is the weirdest Desert Bus run
0x6772: @gualdhar How hard could it be?
raulghoulia: !card Laezel
LRRbot: Found 8 cards you could be referring to - please enter more of the name
wildpeaks: surely the bus drives itself using the power of friendship
Bugberry: the plane on the plain on the plane.
artemi7: @gualdhar Just make sure you don't drive into the ditch, thats all
GDwarble: I don't know what the command is on console, but it's probably a good time to note that this game lets you save basically whenever, which I found a lifesaver at times
Coloneljesus: my favorite is the plain plane
Lithobraker: @petey_vonwho that corporate synergy at work
margieargie: @GDwarble Including during conversations, importantly
wildpeaks: the console UI looks so different, I'm amazed
accountmadeforants: You can even save during dice rolls
BrowneePoints: There's always more than one way to skin an omelette
TheThirdTail: Oh, I haven't seen this UI. I like the color coding for action vs bonus action
malsareus: oh god this UI must be hell for item hoarders
micalovits: I played with controller on PC, and its very good
malsareus: so many potions and scrolls
JonnyGlitched: The UI is weird but I suppose it has to be for controller
LiveFaust: Is it REALLY the weirdest, @artemi7 ? I remember SEVERAL early Zeta shifts that would disagree.

Thanks for subscribing, SurfDownstage! (Today's storm count: 55)
JonnyGlitched: How is it going to look when you have 20 abilities to choose from and 583 items
artemi7: It does make me wonder if Battle for Balders Gate would have gotten more love on release if BG3 released alongside it like it was supposed to.
accountmadeforants:

MacSquizzy: Oh how does this feel on a controller?
Seth_Erickson: An interesting way to make the game work on console I hadn't seen how it looked there.
frnknstn: Are there maybe multiple concentric skill wheels later?
Thandres: literal 7/10 perfect health
accountmadeforants:
@artemi7 Oh, I'm sure it would have. Most of the cards went from "ehhh" and "ew" to "Ooh, it's [character]!" for me basically overnight 
Critterbot: Should probably not go looting during combat.
TheThirdTail: There's never a wrong time to loot :v
micalovits: Always loot!
JonnyGlitched: "Surprisingly Adequate" name of my sextape
JonnyGlitched: Loot is always the priority
artemi7: They're not going to loot themselves
ShaneLeeAtk: It isn't like they will be needing their loot.
JonnyGlitched: They're just going to get thrown out otherwise
Critterbot: Sure, but I wouldn't make it a habit, is all I meant.
NocturnalMissions: I love that it's a free action to loot, like "I'm here, I might as well take this guy's stuff."
accountmadeforants: Lae'zel learned elocution from the best PUAs in the business.
wildpeaks: I'm glad they shortened this level compared to early access, it still teaches the basics but doesn't overstay its welcome
JonnyGlitched: A piece of junk only worth 1gp is WORTH 1GP

JonnyGlitched: I walked out of Act one with 5k, it's possible to leave with 30
serramarkov: So corpses that don't loot themselves are lazybones, right?
JonnyGlitched: 30k*
artemi7: @NocturnalMissions They don't want to punish players for being the thieving magpies they know they are lol
accountmadeforants: One of those is your "casual wear" for different situations
margieargie: You have an adventuring outfit and a camp outfit
BrindleBoar: combat wear vs casual wear
JonnyGlitched: Oh camp gear is a little confusing
JonnyGlitched: @artemi7 no but some look much hotter than others
margieargie: On PC at least you can set your camp outfit to be visible while adventuring, too
accountmadeforants: @artemi7 Nope, just for flavour
artemi7: Or is that just cosmetic
ThirdGames: Just cosmetic
JonnyGlitched: @artemi7 there are mods for magic underwear
artemi7: I wouldn'
accountmadeforants: (At least, I haven't found +1 Underwear yet :p)
artemi7: t put it past them to do that lol
margieargie: Technically, one of the companions' underwear is magical, but that's just flavor
wildpeaks: oh dear
rubikdarkwill: !uptime
LRRbot: The stream has been live for 1:58:39.
JonnyGlitched: Read. Instructions. CArefully.
Euphemion_RFB: My favourite underwear so far is the set you get in the Twitch bundle. Very purple.
JonnyGlitched: @Euphemion_RFB I like the strappy bondage gear
JonnyGlitched: In like... one place?
micalovits: I was a big fan of the necklace Karlach gave me
artemi7: I know D&D has been leaning into the Theater of the Mind in later editions, but I feel like someone took that a little too literally here.
accountmadeforants: "I will not know failure!" *fails*
Euphemion_RFB: It kind of amazes me that in the span of something like 20 years we've gone from the Hot Coffee controversy where there was a sex scene in some inaccessible game files to BG3 with full frontal nudity.
warpstonewarlock: No take!
itira: Good day everyone!
ThirdGames: Shadowheart, my love
JonnyGlitched: Second Wife
FarleyF: My favorite stranger thank you
serramarkov:
More, please!
BrowneePoints: easy 4th place wife
methodical_monk: Don’t let them outta that jar
accountmadeforants: "We've done all we can!" -"We've tried nothing!" "And I'm all out of ideas!"
artemi7: Rare Lae'zel wanting to skip the Uncommon rarity legendaries.
JonnyGlitched: Consiquences to your actions?!?!?
margieargie: And here's the consequences of your actions!
djalternative: oh. I thought that voice was coming from inside the office for a bit. I was like, ".......is that Kathleen yelling?"
malsareus: the brain requires vengeance
e_bloc: you know what they say, if you love your brain, let it go
thunderbird32: Oof, Intellect Devourers are tough at level 1
wildpeaks: Us shall be avenged
FarleyF: Time for some brain surgery
JonnyGlitched: I remember these guys being harder in EA
thunderbird32: Yeah, I think they were
JonnyGlitched: disadvantage on Ice Knife
Wicker_Guide: now they've got the kid voices though, to really make it sink in that you did a bad
wildpeaks: it even has the status "newborn"
corianderd: blam
BrowneePoints: where are they gonna stuff things? In the brainussy?
JonnyGlitched: If this were Fallout you'd get the Child Killer reputation
accountmadeforants: Gotta fonz it, not just a lil kick, Tiefany!
JonnyGlitched: No touch the tank!
JonnyGlitched: Hold on to that
artemi7: I guarentee my PCs would immediately try to stuff an Intellect Devourer into that socket
JonnyGlitched: You can pick up the chest
JonnyGlitched: IDK how to do that on PS5
FarleyF: Under context menu
corianderd: try the context menu
accountmadeforants: There tend to be more options than just the (X) button, but I have no idea how to access the right-click menu on a controller
TheThirdTail: Oh no, we've discovered the "take everything that isn't nailed down" button
corianderd: you can do so much nonsense with boxes
JonnyGlitched: Barrelmancy is the strongest school of magic
corianderd: like carry corpses for necromancy
accountmadeforants: @artemi7 You're expected to for at least one quest
FarleyF: Helps when the game is made by the divine divinity 2 people
JonnyGlitched: I think it will auto use the key
JonnyGlitched: if you try and open the chest
accountmadeforants: Yeah, it auto-uses any keys that fit
Euphemion_RFB: It also makes carry limits really relevant because almost every chest is super heavy.
SoldieroFortune: !uptime
LRRbot: The stream has been live for 2:09:54.
JonnyGlitched: @Euphemion_RFB some are light
warpstonewarlock: So... are we leaving Shadowheart behind?
warpstonewarlock: (is it even possible to leave someone behind?)
Wicker_Guide: we will see
artemi7: (it is, and it looks like no, we just got the thing_
JonnyGlitched: @warpstonewarlock you'll meet up with her later with a significant approval hit
thunderbird32: @warpstonewarlock You can, but you meet her later. She's not a fan, unsurprisingly
Wicker_Guide: touch the thingie
BrindleBoar: splorch
micalovits: Touch ALL the things!
Juliamon: uhhh oops
JonnyGlitched: This is what happens when you touch everything
artemi7: huh, she looked like Leliana from Dragon Age lol
gualdhar: this is how we do a murder
Suffix: It's fine. I'm sure that was that persons dream.
accountmadeforants:
If they wanted us not to touch it, they should have made it a red glowing button with "DO NOT TOUCH" written on it 
tod_vom_himmel: is console a word these people would have?
JonnyGlitched: @accountmadeforants that just makes me want to touch it harder!
tod_vom_himmel: why would that be a part of the language'
PharaohBender27:

Wicker_Guide: most likely yes, since magical devices do generally have interfaces
artemi7: There are Gnomes, they do all kinds of stuff with machines
Wicker_Guide: and magical tat is pretty common in faerun
raulghoulia: of course they know the word console. that's how you make someone feel better when they're sad
Suffix: Authority.
JonnyGlitched: Suspicioauly low
JonnyGlitched: you can still lose on a 1
corianderd: don't roll a 1
Juliamon: !clip
LRRbot:
If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
tod_vom_himmel: but you can try
Invitare: it sure tried to mess it up though
SkylerRingtail: Uhhh
Suffix: Huh.
micalovits: That... Looked weird
FarleyF: I see we found our dump stat
NorthstarTex: huh
JonnyGlitched: This game has crits for skills
Suffix: I guess you can't.
iarethel0ser: 1
frnknstn: Wow
Sethalidos: wuh
GhostValv: I wondered if they changed that...
iarethel0ser: 1+3 = 2? New math.
GredGredmansson: could have sworn that would have failed
gualdhar: oh, did we turn off crit fails?
creatorworks: Your game glitched!
tod_vom_himmel: that seems like not good
JonnyGlitched: Intelligence is quite bad to dump in this campaign
Euphemion_RFB: @gualdhar Wait.. is that an option?
Sethalidos: you can definately crit fail that
accountmadeforants: @tod_vom_himmel Organ consoles were already a thing many yonks ago
Metric_Furlong: @JonnyGlitched too late now
djalternative: we can get other party members who are intellegent
Suffix: @Sethalidos But they just did. And it worked.
djalternative: put all the smarts on them
Euphemion_RFB: @Metric_Furlong There's an item you can get fairly early in that can help, or you can just respec. It's fixable.
NorthstarTex: its a d20, no questions asked
corianderd: probably not important
thunderbird32: Yay, Shadowheart.
Sethalidos: @Suffix Yeah it was either a glitch or crit fails are turned off
micalovits: Might be that they are turned off in the starting area?
Wicker_Guide: could be any number of things. As an actual DM I"m not sure I'd want to deal with a player failing a roll like that. Makes some sense to fudge it
JonnyGlitched: The girls are fighting
accountmadeforants: The Main Characters are squabling for screen time!
Sethalidos: @micalovits Nope you definitely can crit fail it, I've done it.
micalovits: Weird
OldUncleDan: Ladies... You're both beautiful!
JonnyGlitched: Want a cool sword?
margieargie: I'm definitely not a fan of crit successes/failures for skill checks, if there -is- a way to turn those off for this game I'd like to know about it
raulghoulia: you just got flayed
TehAmelie: i kind of like the mind flayer aesthetic. makes this place look so final dungeon-y you could forget it's just the introduction
frnknstn: Mind=flayed
Metric_Furlong: @Euphemion_RFB I am saying too late now in the vain hope of getting Chat not to backseat
djalternative: yourt urn
JonnyGlitched: @TehAmelie they have no chill
Wicker_Guide: @Metric_Furlong don't worry. I like our dense as a stone druid
Sethalidos: takes out a cambion in one hit then it gets murdered by a single imp
Metric_Furlong: hellsboar, the boar from hell
Wicker_Guide: @TehAmelie "You meet your foe psychically killing a greater demon. This is the tutorial boss. Roll for initiative."
JonnyGlitched: @Seth_Erickson 1 HP is just as effective as full
TehAmelie: do we have low int? that's just good natural defense against mind flayers innit
JonnyGlitched: Well just me
GhostValv:

serramarkov: I solemnly swear that while I'm up to no good, I will not backseat- I've never played any version of Baldur's Gate, and cannot offer any information on it.
JonnyGlitched: Firebolt is an excellent cantrip but these guys are Devils
Euphemion_RFB: I've restarted the game about 8 times now and still have yet to get out of Act 1.
wildpeaks:
@Euphemion_RFB same, got about 120 hours but I swear one day I'll reach act 2 
accountmadeforants: Stand Against The Devil! Watch and Pray... Watch and Pray...
Metric_Furlong: @Wicker_Guide if nature wanted us to be smart, books would grow on shrubs. Checkmate, arcanist!
JonnyGlitched: @wildpeaks I'm a meticulous Dungeon Crawler so it takes me ages to get anywhere
frnknstn: This singing is musically interesting. It’s not the kind of melody I expect
micalovits: Can recommend getting further! Act 2 & 3 are great(though act 3 can be a bit unpolished here and there)
GhostValv:
I've gotten most of my restart problems done after early access. I have one of 3 act 1 completions mostly into act 2

gamblingaregood: Oh cool seeing the console version
gamblingaregood: I'm assuming this chat is a no spoiler, no backseating zone
Wicker_Guide: None except for choices that could lock out the owlbear pet
JonnyGlitched: Your character's voice sounds just a touch downshifted
gamblingaregood: Coolio.
Euphemion_RFB: I got into a bugged state where Lae'zel was in my camp but no longer able to join my party. So I restarted, Then I didn't like my reroll... Than I got distracted by the character builder.
JonnyGlitched: Yeah you'll need to examine a lot
JonnyGlitched: Nice that the game tells you immunities tho
JonnyGlitched: Green circle means ally
Wicker_Guide: "ally"
JonnyGlitched: For that fight it's an ally

ogundiety: Danke!
corianderd: If you're ok skipping an attack then the Dash action lets you double move
brainiac4: PS5, I am guessing. The UI is interestingly different than PC.
ogundiety: @brainiac4 You can actually flip the PC UI to somethign similar to this, if you choose to and use a controller

wildpeaks: victory \o/
tod_vom_himmel: that looked really awful
tod_vom_himmel: why do graphics sometimes look like ps2
e_bloc: having only ever played this on pc the console UI is rather disorienting
adept_nekomancer: As long as the tentacles keep holding hands, everything will be fine.
TehAmelie: ah, we did find the stop cord for the bus
NorthstarTex: oh is our stop coming?
Akaiatana: Yeah, they're naut accessible
wildpeaks: I sense we'll have to add a bus crash
corianderd: have a nice trip. see you next fall
TehAmelie: maybe that was the emergency brake
Coloneljesus: gablins!

Coloneljesus: how convenient
JonnyGlitched: An act of god?!?!
Akaiatana: No fall damage because we still have 4 more days
Coloneljesus: @JonnyGlitched but which one?
NorthstarTex: DM be all "no, you dont die"
adept_nekomancer: The world has decided we can't die yet; there are still more crimes to commit.
wildpeaks: nothing good ever squirms in skulls
FarleyF: Praise be Kelemvor
