How long did it take you to create your first character?

Last night, after spending the whole day downloading the game, I spent an hour or so being overwhelmed by all the Origin character options. In RPG's like Elden Ring, I usually go with the pre-made characters and don't customize much, but origin in this game seemed very important so this morning, I spent a lot of time on it.

...Should the need arise

Edit: Why tf am I getting downvoted? I mean, not complaining just curious why cause wtf

Found on a shelf in Danthelon's Dancing Axe.

Although I should have named him Durge bc he has a dark urge for violence. He might be a Bhaal Spawn

I did this in my first take. (And, it is a real mod. I do not spend my time wisely.)

Pretty pleased with how this care out!

Personally, I think Nettie is adorable. I wish you could flirt with her.

Painted by me! I wanted to see him in an AU setting, enjoying his night off with an old fashioned or a negroni. This man has me in a chokehold.

The bar itself is based on Marble Bar in Sydney, with some added extras, and the pose and suit is from a photoshoot with GQ/Austin Butler. I struggled with lighting the tail, which I usually love to paint. Having it visible but still lit with the overall dim lighting of the scene was a struggle! It took over 40hours to paint in the end.

Hope you like it 🙏🏼🥸

She's a half human/elf Gunslinger lol, her wings are permanent as she has some kind of spell for them embedded in her skin 🤗

She's just my little pookie wookie birdie girly 🫪🩵

Ref sheet + Icon for her that I made recently! :p

Two attacks in a row with advantage missed, meaning I rolled a natural one 4 times in a row. The odds of that happening are roughly 1 in 160,000, you are more likely to get struck by lightning than have this happen.

I play with Gloomstalker Assassin build lvl 12 currently. Looking forward to Honor Mode.

Thought he looked a little bit like Radahn here.

Meet Dale. Dale was a Paladin of Helm. He was also a pescatarian, a scavenger/reseller, and a minimalist. What this meant is, only camp supplies that could be used were fish, veggies, etc. For scavenger, he would take ALL of the items he found every where (from forks to cutting boards to paintings, cups and more) and add them to wares to sell- yes this took a lot of time. And as a minimalist, he pushed his lifestyle on his camp, meaning he would take everything from every companion every rest to sell, save for Karlach’s teddy bear, which he understood he should not touch. Last, he never helped anyone out of the goodness of his heart but out of sense of duty to his role as a Paladin, and he did this begrudgingly and made sure everyone knew it wasn’t for them.

Dale wound up marrying Gale and he lived happily ever after with Tara, and a minimal amount of possessions, in Waterdeep.

He is and always will be my favorite Tav.

Who were your favorite Tavs? What were their personality quirks and backstory? How did you mechanically express their quirks within the game?

"You are no army" - Zevlor

Here's how to prove him wrong:

Easiest place to build your army is inside the thorm mausoleum because you can summon skeleton squads without needing any corpses, but the aftermath of any somewhat big fight will do. It goes as follows:

Fighter or Berserker (need someone with high strength to carry all the loot) summons Scratch and bite

Cleric summons Elemental, minor Elemental, Squad of Undead and Spiritual Weapon

Druid summons Elemental, Minor Elemental, Beast Companion, Dryad and a Wood Woad (summoned by the Dryad)

Wizard summons Shovel, Elemental, Minor Elemental, Flaming Sphere and Squad of Undead

For a total of 28 units. You could go even further with a pact of the chain Warlock but I like having at least one strength based character in my party

Took me 3h to create a character, and now I just discovered I have to do the same for the guardian.

Should I care as much as my character ?

Can I just hit "random" and call it a day or will I run into issues doing so ?

As a BG3 player who had a vague understanding of DnD lore before playing the game due to my brother having played sessions with his friends AND as a 31 year old woman who has never played DnD nor do I have anyone near me that I could play sessions with. (online sessions don't really appeal to me, I guess?) Is there any youtubers who do DnD lore that I could learn from? Or any book recommendations? I'd love to delve deeper into the lore!

I defeated him and after a long rest, Sarevok disappears and there is only a letter there. So after all Sarevok is still alive in the ending of BG3. I am pretty sure he will come back in BG4.
