Posted this a few days ago but it was a meme post. Figured a top level one might work a lil better, maybe.

So I was thinking about BG3 and how I’ve never really had the chance to play with other people. Was wondering if anyone else wanted to get together and play a game? Use Discord for some voice chat between the lot of us? I have no issue on mods whether we want some or not. Figured I’d grab a few people who were interested, if any are, and see if we can schedule something for all of us to play. Like a real DnD game, to an extent. Maybe come up with some house rules or something to add into it. Could be fun. What do you say?

If you’re interested at all, drop a comment or send me a message.

Edit: I may be slightly slow to respond. Spring cleaning day and all that. I’ve been snoozing the reminder to make this post for 4 hours…

    I’ve wanted to do this, too, but some times it’s difficult because I’m really into the tactics of the game. I generally blow past a lot of the story these days because I’ve played and seen so much of it all, but there’s always new ways to do combat and some strategies I haven’t tried with particular battles. Having said that, if you are into the story, I suppose I could run around and loot all the hidden things while someone else is in a dialogue.

    I’d want to do a decent handful of mods and I know not everyone is down with these (all from ingame mod manager):

    • Tactician Enhanced
    • Party Limit Begone (so we could do up to 4 person coop, each of us gets 1 companion if we want it)
    • Extra Encounters + More Enemies in Regular Encounters
    • Random Loot (so the gear we find is different locations than vanilla)
    • Full set of class-specific loot (there’s 12 of them, but we could do without this if too much)

    Also disclaimer: my internet is kinda shit, I get ~100/Mbps on average. May or may not be an issue, I’m not entirely sure. I never really had issues playing Helldivers 2, so maybe not an issue with BG3.

    If there’s a group that’s cool with all that, then I’m interested. Again, though, I know not all players are into it this way.

    ETA: I’d be playing on Steam, but I’m fairly certain all the mods I mentioned are available on console, too.

      I have no issue with most of that. The story thing, I guess what I was looking for was less like us just playing the story but roleplaying the story to an extent. Don’t mean like everyone getting super into characters, just mean like maybe we have different ideas of what we should do. If one of us starts the dialogue first or triggers some event or whatever then we cope. More like a real DnD game than anything else.

      Your internet sounds pretty solid to me. Mine is not much higher than that… Well at least I thought. I then ran a speed test thingy. How the fuck is my upload faster than my download?

      Either way if you’re still at all interested, lemme know <3

        For sure, the roleplay thing I’m still into. Thinking about it since I posted, I would probably aim to roleplay as a Peon from Warcraft II. Playing as a peon servant to someone else’s character might fit in perfectly with my concern of being too familiar with the story progression. Yesh, me’lord!

        edit: lmao, I had the opposite effect when I just tested my current speeds (although I am currently on a VPN)

      I consider my internet connection to be good, and I’m at 60mbps down, 10 up.
