“I got into bg3 so i could romance astarion” “i got into bg3 so i could romance karlach” all well and good however. i got into bg3 bc i saw a clip of the mind flayer sex scene and decided i wanted me some of that. we are not the same.
#‘you can fuck a mind flayer in this game’ well why didn’t you LEAD with that#bg3#baldur's gate 3#this is 100% true btw#well that and the draw of being able to make one of my dnd characters that i wanted to play as jskfjskfjsj#wade talks#the emperor

dav update: ok I think my brainworms are safe. It sucks.
#texted post#it just doesnt feel like a dragon age idk...and also dear god WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CUTSCENES AND TINY AREAS#LET ME PLAY!!!!#almost feels like one of those video games for people who dont play video games. where its. just a movie. it wants to be a movie so badly#tho they did completely rehaul the combat to be more like the soulsborne esques n shit#so thats actually making it more engaging#except its not really what traditionally made DAs combat unique...#character creators pretty good I guess lmao#I could make my square(ka)#maybe Im just outgrowing the standard fantasy rpg idk I got bored w bg3 as well even tho I liked divinity II when it came out#I THINK it was probably bcus of how very dnd the mechanics were but. writing was also kinda whatever#N ANOTHER THING the characters keep fucking repeating the same obvious shit thats just been stated#im not 4 I can read the room guys#actually not done yet ALSO ITS SO CLEARLY MADE W CONSOLES IN MIND UGH#fuckin hold down buttons to confirm things and JUMP IS F........... cmon

I've got too many games I want to play and not enough free time 😭 I still need to finish my BG3 playthrough but since Endless Ocean: Luminous came out I've been playing a lot of that instead. Also just got back into Wizard101 last night. Started playing House Flipper again last weekend. Still need to finish BOTW so I can start a TOTK playthrough and finish Pokemon Shield so I can start on Pokemon Violet. I've been fighting off the urge to start up a new Skyrim playthrough for weeks. My brother just told me that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is getting ported to the Switch. And now I'm suddenly feeling inspired to replay DAI... And throughout all of this I'm also playing the hell out of DragonVale on my phone. Someone just pay me to play video games all day please
#and before anyone suggests it: no i cant try to get into streaming#the way i play video games is extremely frustrating for other people to watch ahdjsksl#no one is going to give me money for producing a video where i spend two hours checking every barrel in the map while juggling my inventory#and then immediately give up on a puzzle and just sit in silence for 30 minutes while i look up a walkthrough instead#i need a situation that pays me $200 a day just to be autistic at the screen alone in the comfort of my own home#rambling#a few years ago i made it a mission to play all of the dragon age games and dlcs in order and i did not complete it#i got all the way to inquisition before i quit#i had already played it on ps3 but i wanted to replay on my new gaming laptop and unfortunately my computer decided it was too complicated#and also i just wanted to play as an elf again and i was resisting that urge bc i played as an elf the first time and wanted something new#so i didnt connect to my character as much#BUT ive learned a lot about optimizing my games from getting bg3 to run on my computer#so i think i could get it to handle dai now. especially if i upgrade to ssd like ive been wanting#and i just saw a dai post on my dash that made me daydream about possible characters and i was struck with inspiration#when i first played through on ps3 i didnt know anything about da lore. it was my first dragon age game#i was just doing whatever i thought seemed coolest#so i basically modeled my inquisitor after my dnd oc and then just picked a vallaslin i thought was pretty#and then when it came time to pick a specialization i was just like 'i mean my hand has rift magic right? seems obvious enough'#but now i know the LORE. and the dalish really interest me. and i want to make an inquisitor thats their own character#i didnt want to replay another elf mage bc i thought it would be too similar#but at the same time i wanted to re-experience dai (and experience trespasser for the first time) now that i knew more about the dalish#(with mods that fix the annoying bits where your character seems to not know about their own religion of course lol...)#i was thinking about that and i just got hit with some inspiration#instead of 'my dnd character but with a cool tattoo and rift magic and they kinda roll with the inquisitor stuff bc idk whats going on'#what if i made a more intentional character with a much different personality and their own backstory#theyre still the first of their clan but i know what that means now so theyre not really into the herald of andraste stuff#theyre a devotee of falon'din with his vallaslin and fittingly choose necromancy specialization (tho theyre annoyed by all the maker talk)#they can look cool and goth and maybe they even make some different choices about the well of sorrows 👀#i could keep rambling but im running out of tags gah#anyways ive got lots of ideas now and i think the playthrough would be unique enough to be worth it

My main BG3 Tav, Gavriel mega-post!!
The embodiment of "fuck it! why not!"
Nowadays he has a very uncaring take on life, usually just looking for a good time or something to distract him
He sees himself as a bad person, so he tries very hard to fit into that persona. Despite this, his first knee jerk reaction is to always be compassionate and helpful whenever he sees someone in need.
In short, he's very empathetic which he finds annoying.
Full backstory under the cut!!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Gavriel was raised believing he was an orphan. Taken in as a little child by a travelling circus, the ringmaster alongside his wife when raising him, besides shaving his whole head, made him train to be a fire performer from a very young age.
Because of Gavriel's tiefling heritage, the ringmaster burnt him during one of their very first training sessions to prove to his wife that he could withstand it, leaving him with horrifying scars on his hands and forearms that he was told to bandage and hide. Little Gavriel repressed memories of that accident.
But sometime in his teenage years those scattered memories started surfacing again. When accidentally overhearing the ringmaster arranging a way of getting rid of him, supposedly because the boy started being paranoid around the fire that he was supposed to perform with and was no use to the show, Gav decided to confront him in his private tent.
Their meeting grew sour, turning into a fight. The ringmaster lunged at him with a knife. Gavriel ended up having to defend himself, killing the ringmaster in the process.
In that skirmish, a candle sitting on a desk got knocked over and started a fire, quickly spreading through the whole camp. With said fire being so big and ferocious it looked as if noone could possibly survive it. Convinced that he had murdered innocents, the last thing he saw before running away, and eventually becoming a rouge, was his best friend and her expression of utter horror who was convinced all this destruction was deliberate.
His best friend growing up was a half Drow girl, a fellow performer. She was a dancer, but her biggest passion were fantastical stories, which she used to share with him every night. The love for stories stayed with Gavriel to adulthood.
#my bby <3#baldur's gate 3#baldur's gate iii#baldur's gate oc#baldurs gate fanart#bg3 tav#tiefling#dnd oc#dnd character#dnd art#bg3#bg3 oc#im torn on romancing him with either astarion or wyll hmmmmm#bisexual king cant decide#he finds astarion funny and the “i can fix him” urge is hitting hard#but wyll makes him want to be a better person arghhh#its the “corruption vs redemption” arc dilemma for this guy#hes a great candidate for either aaaaaaa#eggs_art_tag#oc#original character#oc artwork

Just finished my first playthrough of BG3. Romanced Lae'zel, but ending up turning into an Illithid because the idea of making Orpheus or Karlach do it didn't sit well with me (or my character).
I told Lae'zel to leave with Orpheus in the end (I heard she wouldn't stay with a ghaik anyway, which she's valid for, but also, it doesn't feel right to ask her to stay when I know how much her people mean to her). And like-
Her face before she flies off---
She looks so heartbroken and sad.
#emmodii rambles#baldur's gate 3#baldur's gate series#lae'zel#spoilers#i don't regret my choices and i do love a good angsty story. but at the same time... OOF.#may you find a new source of joy in the astral realm my queen :'(#for anyone curious- i played a githyanki which i heard is the only race that can fly off with her or something?#but well. again- didn't quite fit my character to have someone else turn instead pfffft#ALSO HE'S A CLERIC OF ILMATER AND A REDEEMED DARK URGE. self-sacrifice is kiNDA TO BE EXPECTED HAHAHA.#anyway- do give romancing lae'zel a shot guys. she may be a hardass at first but it's really because she cares a lot#also slightly off-topic but as a dark urge gith... durge grew up in a city so like. wonder how out of place they woulda felt with the#other githyankis anyway. i think i read somewhere that a gith durge realises they don't really feel connected to creches and stuff#which is interesting and makes me curious about how exactly they were made. cuz they have the traits and knowledge of the race but didn't#grow up with them. i guess the easiest answer would be 'god magic shenanigans' but STILL.#trust me to overthink things hahaha XD#if anyone's curious what happened to my guy in the end--- we followed wyll and karlach to avernus hahaha#what are the devils gonna do? steal the soul we don't have?? TRY IT BITCH#of course i did reload multiple times to have my character kill himself. because that was another option that felt possible for his charact#...and also because i wanted to see how companions would react to it. krewfjewlkrjewklrjewl- although the narration for durge suicide#is also quite interesting! of course maybe that's just me being mentally ill eff (/lh) but having a kill that isn't going to murder daddy?#gives a redeemed durge some control and a final say at last. which is still sad but a nice way to tie up their death methinks#ANYWAY- time to go find a way to convert him into a full-on OC. elves and dwarves are one thing but giths are blatantly dnd so i'mma have#to figure that out for my own story lore and universe--- some kinda new species? humanify him? or convert to another existing general speci#hmm hmm hmmmmmmmmmm-#emmodii plays bg3

Full blood moon
At the end of my "vacation" I caught some inspiration to draw humanoids, and decided to turn the sketch I liked into an illustration. I did most of it then, but got stuck on the rendering and took a break for several weeks...
Now it's finally finished and, I must say, I’m very pleased how this piece turned out :3
(I think there could be some kind of story... Maybe something like “Murder on the Orient Express”, who knows, maybe someday I’ll even think it through)
#I kinda wanted to make the dress a bit sparkly but desided i need my sanity more#also it would be cool to eventually get to play dnd and make this girly a real character...#maybe i'll make her in bg3#illustration#my art#dnd character#half orc#muscular women#dnd#bg3

making myself in bg3: a game i played in 2 parts
#bg3#baldur’s gate 3#self tav.png#left is me as true to life as possible i am just a silly little bard with a sometimes sharp tongue (i would abuse vicious mockery)#right is what u would get if i were making myself as i want to be in dnd (i am a sucker for sorcerers idk if i can play another class atp)#i also REALLY love tieflings my first ever dnd character was a teifling#somehow both of those faces look very much like me but also not me at all but if u smash them together it would be me exactly#also yes i gave myself valen's tats bc I WANT THEM#why do u think THEY have them !! its bc i can't !!!

I'm playing bg3 again and trying out the honor mode (which as it turns out, might be a bad idea if you never beat the game in general, much less beat it in tactician mode) and I have been confronted with the fact that I absolutely have dnd race favoritism and it absolutely is contributing to my need for many many bg3 saves because I constantly think "hmmm I want to try playing as a deep gnome to see if I get special dialog with Barcus Wroot, the Iron hands, and the underdark" before picking Drow for the 4th time.
#simon says#to be fair!!!#for my honor mode run I picked half-elf drow heritage because I liked the male face shapes more#and also because picking a Lolth Sworn drow for the 4th time would be a sign of a problem#if you want to know what option number 2 is for character creation is when I think 'i should pick something other than drow' it's halfling#i love halfling characters I love halflings I love the adorably sweet dialog options you get and I love how the game is in a new camera#like it's so fun talking to small characters and having them just look at you normally but having every large character look down at you#it makes every threat 100 times more threatening#someome threatens you and you're a big ol dark urge dragonborn? yeah okay bud. I got acid breath we'll see who wins here#someone threatens you and you're a fucking tiny little wild mage halfling who just spent the last hour telling Lae'zel to be cordial?#yeah I believe that threat. they could absolutely just pick me up and run off with me right now and the most I could do is accidentally fog#if you wanna know default number 3 if I dont wanna be a drow and halfling is just no cutting it?#dragonborn#in actual dnd I have never played them because there's so many other races I default to (like tiefling which is 4 in this list)#but in bg3 they're just SO fun to make and look so cool#it goes in order of special favorite little cultists > special favorite little combat avoiders > the most fun thing to make and play#and finally tiefling. i don't have much of an explanation besides the fact that tieflings are fun and I love their plot relevance in bg3#but yeah dragonborn is absolutely the most fun to create in character creation and very fun to play#but I gotta choose my special little guys with nothing in common#do I pick a dark elf choosing to leave the cult of lolth to be good? a dark elf who is still Lolth's special little baby girl?#a dark elf with nothing to do with the underdark since their parent left who has lived a surface life and doesn't like cultist association#or do I pick a halfling who's here to be as cordial as possible and find the funniest ways to avoid combat#I was considering having a halfling for my honor mode because I thought romancing Halsin would be fun#but I decided a drow because avoiding the goblin combats without using the tadpole is a HUGE plus#and also because I had used the best halfling hairstyle on my other halfling and I didn't want to just make the same guy twice#anyways I still need to do like every other race and class soon so I can get the fun dialog#but here's the tough truth that funnie pony artist number 32 really loves Drow and Halflings so so so much

5 am time 2 post my sloppy doodles of my beloved weirdgirl from bg3
#all the text is just shit i threw on there to fill the space so confidently id say tht 1)#thats not what her signature would look like#and 2)#she's like. 26 or so#when i actually paint / color her i wanna give her laugh lines cause shes real smiley#ive plotted out her traits and flaws and ideals like a Real Dnd Character cause i rlly wanna run a game where i can jam her in as a npc#she's seen a lot and is ready 2 tussle#wants to make a name for herself and is undecided whether all this mind flayer shit is helping or harming tht goal. leaning towards helping#since its the most excitment she's seen in awhile#so she's pretty positive about the whole parasitic worm thing. to the dismay of her companions#idk#i wanna ramble abt her bc ive put a lot of thought into how she thinks and lives but i will run out of tags#maybe when i workshop it all a lil more i'll post the lil character sheet ive put together for her#for now i will leave u with the promise tht when i get futher along in my playthrough#i will be drawing prim x origin characters being in t4t gay poly love#oc: prim#dnd#bg3#tiefling#oc#sketch

My BG3 character has me kicking my legs and twirling my hair she’s so hot
#I want her to look at me with the utter confusion and disbelief she gives literally everyone else in the party#I subconsciously made her my type#she’s muscle mommy and karlach is her drinking buddy#it’s making it hard to romance the party when I literally just want my own character 😭#baldurs gate 3#bg3#my first foray into dnd and I’m really enjoying it

i need rhys to fuck nasty pronto
#meaghan talks#the thing about being in a dnd group full of gay people in their 20s is that suddenly all of our characters want to fuck each other#i started playing dnd young enough that it was never part of my though process#esp being asexual and being in a group made up of mostly if not entirely asexual people#but that is NOT the case with this campaign so now imve actually had to consider rhys’ sexuality#and his relationship to sex and romance which is FASCINATING to me because he has so many problems#and that compounded by playing him in bg3 and romancing astarion#is just really making me think#and wanting to write despite my catholic sensibilities#only downside is my younger sibling AND my roommate/fellow dnd player follow me here#and i would be mortified if they read that shit#oc: rhys holloway

wanted to share some pics of my durge :D his name is blade, he's a ranged champion fighter with a bit of gloomstalker ranger, so he's like a sharpshooter and prefers stealth, but being a drow + high dexterity means he can use finesse weapons so he's not afraid to get all close and personal and thrust a rapier through someone's skull every now and then. chaotic neutral, he enjoys some casual murder and the occasional massacre (he definitely had a good time killing all those goblins). he absolutely will kill you if he finds you annoying, also he enjoys fucking with or antagonizing people and is generally a menace. is pretty arrogant, acts kinda high and mighty sometimes, definitely made some questionable decisions that got him (and the party) in trouble by being a little shit at inappropriate times. but he likes children and usually helps them (not always kindly but. y'know. he does help them), likes animals (rip to that squirrel though) and is very loyal to those he considers his friends and if someone tries to hurt them he will tear off their limbs and start beating that person with them. then gouge out their eyes and kill them in the worst most painful way etc etc. his besties are astarion lae'zel and shadowheart. isn't he adorable
I just got to the start of Act 3 (after 3 months of playing, my job is killing me) dunno what route im going for if good or evil idk im just vibing also i have the durgetash brainrot so who knows he might become evil if gortash asks him who said tjat. anyway
#bg3#started the game completely blind & with zero dnd knowledge & i went yknow what. i want to make a stupidly edgy hot-topic ass character#so i did. great decision by the way im having a blast and i got stupidly attached to him so.#fun fact blade was actually a placeholder name bc i didnt know what tf to name him and i just wanted to start playing#and the last thing i played was hsr and i had (still have tbh) the blade brainrot and its a pretty cool name so#thought i would change it but it grew on me#i hc that he didnt remember his name after the nautiloid so he chose a random name. like uhhh what is it im holding. a dagger? blade it is#then in act 3 he starts to remember his past and he also remembers his real name. which i dont know what it is. im working on it#another fun fact hes a seldarine drow but i didnt know that only lolth-sworn drows have red eyes#bc i knew fuckall about dnd when i started playing and i just thought red eyes were cool#so now i hc that the red eyes are bc of his father#does it make sense idk. my playthrough my city now
