Hello! I would like to ask others on their perspective of playing Evil...I am kind of planning to do an evil playthrough, plan a character - his motives - morality and goal, but I always bump into a very basic issue : - How do you explain an evil ( not necessarily a douche, but evil is considered egoistical at least ) accepting all those sidequests? I just can't make up an excuse, apart from the usual be manipulative evil that just pretends helping people. My problem with that approach is that it tends to be quite similar to being good, so I am looking for a better alternative. This top

Totally off-topic. Today I was thinking what if a no-reload challenge would go over the boundaries of 1 franchise... 1 character - BG1 - BG2 - PoE - PoE 2. ( The List can be as infinite and unqiue with different games as you want I guess ) If you die....back to BG1. ( Classes are limited to the ones that are present in all games ) I have to try that

I don't recommend going to White March too early if you are unexperienced. Especially on POTD. There is a specific enemy type that will eat you for breakfast there if you don't know where to avoid them.

Good luck to all the no-reloaders! I can't wait to join myself on this challenge, but first I must beat my very first Baldur's Gate saga playthrough. In a sense it's a great practice for the Expert Mode - Trial of Irons PoE run I plan to join here ^^

I am by no means a veteran, I am very new in fact! - I would call myself an avid roleplayer, even too much for my own good. I am still experimenting on the "perfect" RP way of playing these games, that feels the best. The eternal struggle of roleplaying - powergaming - fun is something I can't balance well yet. On the BG forums I am mostly a reader ^^ In fact I just started my very first baldur's gate playthrough recently( yes for the first time haha ) - that's why I recognized you, as I read more about the game than I played!

I think the no reload challenge is a great idea especially with the same rules as in Baldur's Gate forums. I would be up for participating ^^ Welcome @Alesia_BH !

Hello fellow forumers! Prologue: I have been playing a new CRPG called Pathfinder: Kingmaker extensively recently, and I am really liking it, I spent a lot of time making builds and testing characters and roleplaying them on top of it. It's definitely a game that needs lots of work but I think it's really enjoyable and does things right. The game get's lots of criticism and people are asking for features in it. This is where the topic comes in. One of the features people are asking for is : Respecialization - at any point in the game, that can change even your class. Topic: Respec in CR

Yeah I know the way most describe helping people can be considering manipulative Evil, but In games I simply consider that good as you are helping people and they thank you for it, the Evil manipulation part is most of the time just your own Roleplaying, very rarely an option in the game. Video games limit you on that I think. So I guess when I speak in Pillars of Eternity terms....A cruel character. Most companions dislike that afaik. Doing quests and choosing the Cruel options most of the time, or options that end with death.

Sziasztok! ( Hi everyone in hungarian ) I would like to turn to you for help, as I am planning to start an Evil Playthrough for the game. On my first play, I felt that story companions fairly limit your choices as they always react negatively on your evil deeds...it bothered me. My question now would be that, can you play with story companions without them becoming too unhappy?( I don't understand negative relationship mechanics ) Or am I better off with custom adventurers who will follow me dead on into danger? Thank you for the help!

My only question is....how is it pronounced? Is it Vampire? F-ampire? Fampyr? Vampyr? Whenever I talked about them, it was awkward

Thanks for the attempt Boeroer! Appreciate it! Too bad really...Vatnir's Ending Godlike is badass really. Feels such a waste you can't use that race.

Anyone has experimented and/or found good builds for Vatnir? Would be very interested in what you found

Hello! I am curious, haven't found anything about this so far, but has anyone tried or knows a way with a mod or savegame editor perhaps to make your main character look like the unplayable godlikes? Use Tekehu's model for example.

I sided with the Vailians. They seemed to be the most reasonable choice, as the Director seemed like a genuine nice person who had a healthy conscience. They would grind Adra whether or not you side with them, so that was not a deciding factor for me. Biggest point for them is : They were not some pretentious, I think I am superior then others douchebags. Just humans trying to make profit, and if they are also doing some good while making money, I can look away from them grinding adra. Obviously I am biased towards them, but I just can't stand the other factions, it was an easy choice

After finishing my own playthrough, I can confirm. I sided with Vailians, I romanced Maia, maxed reputation with her and she still left. RIP. ( Screw the rauatai anyway )
