Today’s game is Baldur’s Gate 3. I managed to get my friends together to keep playing and we went into the under dark. So far it has been hell. For example: These fuckass birds. I was stumbling around down there doing stealth and suddenly got spotted by one from the other side of a huge pit. And what does it do? It calls all its friends. And suddenly my entire party is swarmed by like 3 of these things and a random drow that seems to have an issue with us.

We had another friend that wanted to join our campaign but the 4 player limit stopped him. I tried getting a mod that raises the count to 8 to work, but I found out it’s crossplay is broken and in order to use it I need to switch to the Windows Build instead of the Native Linux one. So I gave up and we just started another save. He was asking pretty hard for mods, so I took the liberty of adding the gunslinger just for fun. I came up with this lady.

The mod is actually kind of broken because it just has a spell that chucks like 25 guns at you and they don’t need Ammo or anything. Because of that I try to stay mostly out of combat.

Anyways, going back to the main save. After killing those birds and then getting into a fight with some slavers further back. I went and made my way to the tree I was looking for. I went into sneak mode so I didn’t piss anyone off. Apparently though Shadowheart didn’t get the Memo and didn’t sneak. So she got seen. I didn’t though! I ended up just climbing onto this branch and playing with Photo Mode since the others were about to quit anyways. I like to imagine you can hear Shadowheart fighting for her life back there.

I also tried to get a party picture but couldn’t get the framing right and Baldur’s Gate 3’s photo mode for some reasons highlights things. So I took this and gave up for the night. I think I was onto some thing. I’m not sure what though

I don't think I've ever run into these creatures in BG3, but I did miss a fair deal due to obliviousness!
