Had my toughest battle to date last night
Taking on the mother superior in the temple of Shar at the end of Shadowheart’s quest.
It’s a pretty tough battle with lots of minions who can do heaps of damage under darkness.
I had several attempts and getting but I kept getting wiped, although got close with only a few remaining.
It was a bit cheesy the way I survived. I thought my whole party had been wiped but Gale was unconscious not dead and he woke up in jail.
Escaped from prison and went back to camp, rezzed everyone and went back and took out mother superior and the rest of her minions.
My party was level 11. Not sure if waiting until L12 would have made it a bit more manageable.

same thing happened to me but instead it was only wyll who got arrested (who was downed but not dead)

funny how it worked, that's a tough fight but spamming AOE spells (like cloudkill, blade barrier, cloud of flies etc) all made it fairly easier

I redid it tonight because I felt it was a bit of a cheese.
Just changed Shadowheart’s spells to include Daylight and that took care of their darkness advantage. Was much more manageable.
AOE spells and heavy hitting did the job nicely

I love this game.

Was down by the waterfront minding my own business and these fishmen started attacking.

Gale chucked a fireball into the middle of them but there was a flaming fist guy in there (he was certainly flaming).

Got a reward for fighting the fishmen while in the middle of fighting off wave after wave of fist lol

Toughest battle so far for me.
 
I've put this game on the back burner since going back to work. It really is a game that's perfect for when you have leave.

Started Act 3 but have no real desire to play it right now. Hopefully that spark comes back.

My high point too so far.
All set to take Raphael's sneering head tonight
 
Finished my first playthrough tonight. What an epic game!

Now for a tactician playthrough.

Might play a bard this time after playing a Fighter/Warlock first time.

i had pretty bad load times throughout the game but it was struggling in baldurs gate proper.

in the games defence, the newest part of my desktop is a monitor bought in 2018, and a gpu bought in 2016

I didn’t have any issues. Constant 120+ FPS with no stuttering or freezing. Some fights the AI would take a bit of time to process but that’s it.

What are you playing on?

I’m running on a decent rig. 5600X with 32GB RAM and a 6900XT and M2 storage. Playing at 1440p on pretty high settings.

Mines been fine in act 3, on an old 1060. Maybe I didn't do enough looting?

I stopped looting everything - it was too much!

Need to do serious inventory management. All camp supplies I send straight to camp, I have packs or pouches for stuff I want to sell.

I believe there is a chest or something in the Underdark that you can store stuff in your inventory that reduces the weight but I didn't find it on my first play through. Will be looking out for it on my new playthrough.

Otherwise just rob vendors blind!

I did manage to stumble on that chest. Had karlach walking around with a mountain of barrels to throw at people. But it stopped working in one of the patches 😭

PS5, nothing game breaking but there are noticeable FPS drops and some screen tearing.

It’ll take more than that to stop me playing this haha!

Spent 3 hours trying to win a fight, finally beat it and then accidentally wandered into somewhere I wasn’t supposed to be and died.

No auto save so back to the start of the fight which took another hour…

First thing I do after a lengthy battle is save. Some of them are grueling.
 
I can’t remember playing a game where the auto save was so unreliable, I reckon it’s added hours to my play through.

Sick of the bullshit in this game in all honesty. I got sent to Wyrm prison, my stuff was locked up. The only way to leave the cell was to talk to this skull. I failed it's trivia challenge so it teleported me outside the cell, straight to the guards without my equipment. My squad were still locked up. So I went to grab our stuff, instead of spreading it out the squad it over encumbered me nearly 4x my weight limit. I tried to unlock the prison door but it wouldn't let me. I got obliterated by the guards as it was 1v4 and I couldn't move. My squad had no gear and were killed by this elemental thing.

It's moments like these where some might think 'haha that was great' but I lost over an hour of progress and had to reload my game for the 4000th time.
 
I’m finding tactician a bit more challenging especially at low levels with a squishy bard who doesn’t hit that hard (yet). Enemies seem to hit a lot harder and seem more targeted in their approach than balanced.

I didn’t have Wyll first play though as he didn’t survive the initial goblin encounter.

Rocking with Wyll, Karlach and Shadowheart so far.

Took out the leaders of the goblin camp at Level 4.
Gut was pretty easy but the other two were much tougher encounters.

A few strategically placed barrels around Minthara helped massively.

For the other guy we headed up high on the rafters. Karlach hurled a few barrels his way and then when minions started getting up on the rafters she tossed them off. Good times!
