Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

After you get through with a party try solo honor on dark urge. In some ways it's harder, easier in others. You don't have to worry about killing someone that is a potentential party member or taking care of their story. Plus early on you kill them and take the gear they are wearing. Lvl 7 dark urge gloomstalker solo honor mode currently. Starting to slow down. Made it to 5 with almost no combat and now going back and picking up stuff now that I am over leveled. Once I figured out how to skip the grove fight at the very start making a new run got easier and faster if I died.

I did not look info the math but it's funny when you steal stuff and the DC is -3. All low value like arrows but still funny. Also for some reason Aaaron in the grove wound up with 4k gold and I would need like a 30 to steal it. Not sure how that happened. So back to Volo.

Playing on Honor mode for the first time. It is actually really refreshing having to just roll with it and there is new stuff I didn't see coming. I have never finished a Dark Urge run so trying that out and it's more lol this way. I did not expect the double owlbear encounter and survived by the skin of my teeth.

Its a bit more forgiving than I expected tbh. You can use res scrolls all you want, and Withers. I will definitely avoid some of the major fights if I can though. Nearing the end of Act 1. Running Dark Urge Sorcerer, Thief Astarion, Arcane Archer Lae'Zel, and Life Cleric Shadowheart.

I've had to figure out how to use stuff I never bothered with before. It's been great.

I see a lot of different choices for shadowheart. I played with her on some other duo runs and did nature and tempest. Never did life. Interesting.

I am about as far as I can go now. Merkul now and I'm not sure I'm up to that solo. I held the "cheese" I used to a minimum. I didn't barrelmancy any other than shooting a barrel that was in the hideout after I put down a cat and pushed, then shot it with a fire arrow. So I could get the titanstring bow for free. I had the gold but did it anyway. Possibly could have got it another way. Did not have pass without trace yet.

I learned a lot about what conversation type rolls to prepare for, which is a lot considering rangers get no proficency in any of them.

Grym I just threw stuff. I had failed to pick up much stuff but I went to the few vendors and just stole a lot of stuff since the DC was negative. Took a few rest to reset them. Next time I'll pick up most junk along the way.
