[omgkalyppso]

is anyone curious about my troubleshooting adventures with bg3 patch 7? i think it's fun to share (long)

deleted all my mods, deleted modsettings.lsx, damaged my game (deleted some files in Generated and similar) and repaired my game to start clean.

installed improved ui which is required for many mods. booted up the game. saw that i correctly got it to show up in the mods list despite not being in the igmm (in-game mod manager). closed the game like an idiot instead of testing a save.

installed the script extender, which is required for many mods. booted up the game. knew it wouldn't be in the mod manager because of the type of mod it is. booted up a save that used no mods. ctd. restarted the game. turned off the improved ui mod. booted up a save that used no mods to see if it loaded this time and was not the script extender --

and my computer blue screened and the rgb colors on my computer fan started wigging out.

at this point i could get saves (in vulkan) that did not use mods to load with the improved ui mod (turned on) and the script extender which was file bg3se-updater-2024329 which is the second last script extender. the most recent script extender which is file bg3se-updater-20240430 caused ctd for me

OUGH this game is killing my computer. my amd video drivers crashed instead of the game after this

i blue screened again when i tried to launch in dx11

installed a mod which changes karlach's face a lot of weird shit happened including the flags under the symbol of bhaal turning neon blue selected new game saw karlach's new face closed the cc the game crashed load the game load a late game save of étoile's in conversation with karlach see that her face is running fine closed the game closed spotify that was not running blue screen installed a mod that adds additional faces to the cc loaded the game selected new game without turning on the mod in the igmm the game crashed loaded the game turned on the mod i'd installed in igmm selected new game saw the new faces in the cc closed the cc the game crashed

someone asked me about mod load order. i realized they were all set to 1 and that i had to uninstall all mods and install the mod (from the igmm) mod manager fixes and tweaks to be able to influence my mod order

at this point, in vulkan when only the mod that influences mod load order was installed, there was a strobing light effect on the curtains below bhaal's symbol on the main menu screen like there used to be on karlach's pillow in camp

launched the game. saw that the mods fixes and tweaks was working and the other mods were assigned a load order attempted to mouse over the up down buttons to adjust order game and video drivers crashed

launched the game capped frame rate. opened mod list. adjusted mod order. turned mods on. accessed an (early modless) save file (of étoile's) two of the mods were 'summon tutorial chest' and 'putting armor into tutorial chest' summon tutorial chest spell known, use spell chest exists, click to open chest game and video drivers crash

launched the game. made sure frame rate was still capped, mods still fine. accessed a modless save file just after character creation moved the camera in the nautiloid game crashed (but not video drivers this time)

launched the game. made sure frame rate was stil capped, mods still fine started a new game karlach's facial mod was fine, listened to her opening introduction, custom heads working got out of character creation moved the camera in the nautiloid game crashed (again, not drivers this time)

launched the game. made sure the frame rate was still capped, turned off the mods related to the tutorial chest, but left karlach's face and improved ui accessed an unmodded save file from just after the character creation clicked on the screen to turn the camera in the nautiloid (did not yet move the camera) game visuals froze, but audio continued, no crash, had to ctrl+alt+delete out of there

launched the game. made sure the frame rate was still capped, didn't look at mods, turned off v-sync in graphics options immediately saw the game running smoother accessed an unmodded save file just after character creation moved the camera smoothly around the nautiloid game crashed

launched the game adjusted a graphical setting (i'll have to check what it was called) attempted to access an unmodded save file just after character creation game stuck loading 0% no audio, had to ctrl+alt+del

launched the game turned off the thing i turned on that was supposed to improve performance last time turned off two other graphical settings (one of them was like god rays, and the other was another supposedly superfluous aesthetic thing) attempted to access an unmodded save file just after character creation straight ctd

launched the game put my graphical settings back to what they were reduced the overall graphics attempted to access an unmodded save file just after character creation game stuck loading 0% no audio, had to ctrl+alt+del

dunno what compelled me but reinstalled newer script extender despite earlier issues launched game in dx11 put my graphics back to their overall settings accessed an unmodded save file after character creation ran around the nautiloid turned on the mods accessed an early unmodded save file of étoile's summoned the tutorial chest put on a mod outfit close the game launched the game in vulkan attempted to access an unmodded save file after character creation game and video drivers crashed

installed reshade for dx11 because without reshade i'm nothing launched the game in dx11 accessed an unmodded save file after character creation all mods still active ran around the nautiloid, summoned the tutorial chest, saw it had shit in it but didn't put on an outfit closed game

.

and there you have it! dx11 it is until / unless they ever come up with a patch / someone else finds a solution for vulkan because i don't think i have it in me to keep troubleshooting that for a few more months now

now to continue reinstalling mods 1-3 at a time

No I actually understand Fiddleford. If I had sacrificed and did so much for my best friend only for him to choose a fucking triangle over me. I'd also want to forget everything. I'd also go insane. I'd much rather be known as the towns local old madman than the genius mechanic who ruined myself for my crush. So like I totally get him.

So I keep seeing people say they want Buck to slowly move into Tommy's house without really realising it's happening, and I get the cuteness that could bring out and the humour too. But we've had that with Buck twice. He suddenly just realised he was living at Abby's place without either of them discussing it. And he realised Taylor had pretty much moved in without them meaning for it to happen too (before he asked her to, when she was dealing with her Dad stuff).

And that was a whole thing. It's what Bobby said. About how he finds himself in these relationships without really knowing how he got there. And this was said directly after Buck said he thought Taylor had kinda been living with him.

I want Buck and Tommy to decide they want to live together. Yes, they're both already comfortable in each others spaces, but they don't accidentally find themselves living together. One of them brings up the idea of living together, with absolutely no mention of "I mean we've basically been living together for months now" or anything like that. They just realise that they miss each other when they don't spend the night together, and when their shifts don't line up to give them time together. And so one asks the other if they wanna move in, and they talk about it and decide that they are ready for that and they want that.

It's deliberate.

And it can go as fast as you want. It can be that they've been dating four months and already wanna live together, or it can be that they take their time and don't live together until they've been dating for over a year.

But it's all deliberate and there's no accidental moving in. Because Buck's done that before and it didn't go well and this relationship is supposed to be different.

I was reading excellent narumitsu fic (not safe for Tumblr, mind you) where Wright calls Edgeworth "buddy" after se×. My friend said something like "well, good thing that he didn't call him pal"

And I said " and then Gumshoe jumps out of the vent and says "HEY HEY, SAYING 'PAL' IS *MY* ENDEARING CHARACTER TRAIT" - he just spawns in their bedroom after being like "O, Mr Edgeworth, sir, didn't notice you here, are you two wrestling or smth?" "Who's winning "

aND THEN, THIS MONSTROSITY COMES TO LIFE

Tbh, he would

A very spooky housekeeper

(I think that if the villagers get to have guns, so should Lucille and she’d use the FUCK out of it)

Lucille is a housekeeper at Castle Dimitrescu but she does a little more than just housekeeping. ‘Cleanup duty’ is what she calls it.

The cleanup duty in question:

She probably dismembers victims she’s dragged into the basement to be made into meals for the Dimitrescu’s because she just enjoys it— quiet time !!😌. She also likes to get some of the maids killed and used for experiments, just because it’s entertaining to her; she’s silly like that.

Real talk, though: Lucille is cold, cruel, and very manipulative; she lacks any sort of empathy and compassion for others and she uses them for her own personal gain/enjoyment. Just quirky !!

Side note; she has a gun because she uses it more in her original lore/my story, but I also imagine she shoots the samcǎ down from the rooftops when they’re just being annoying lol (cause they piss me tf off in the game). She’s a good markswoman, but in the re universe, she likes to use an axe (cause I think that would be neat and I wanna draw that)

honestly I think about how mycheal talks about those wild “mushrooms” from time to time and how he says they’re not really mushrooms they’re just mimicking them…then I remember some of the answers to old asks you gave about mycheal and I particularly remember you saying “but is he really a mushroom?” To one of them…then the talk about him having a long lifespan…I know mycheal and those other mushrooms are related. Maybe he was even born in that forest? Ether way I’m onto him…..(I think he’s some kind of demon)

Perhaps! 🍄 What gives the impression he's a demon though? That's a first, haha!
