#BG3DrizztDoUrdenRun was my attempt on a semi-solo playthrough, on Balanced, and it took me 114 hours, once again breaking my old record on fastest playthrough.

In Acts 1 and 2 it was a lot easier to not have anyone else in the party besides Guenhwyvar (a hireling Druid who was in panther wildshape whenever possible), but in Act 3 I ended up having other companions in the party, because there are many quests that are personal quests for origin characters, or fights with so many enemies that going solo felt like a suicide mission. But I did go to the endgame with only Guenhwyvar in the party.

If there's one thing I wish the game had, that's a Legendary scimitar. I kept true to Drizzt's weapon of choice and had him wield double scimitars pretty much the whole time. Of course Belm is a good choice, but I kept switching the secondary weapon because there wasn't a clear choice for that.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that you do get the post-battle romance scene with Halsin even if he's not in your final party. I think there was some older playthrough where I didn't get that scene and Halsin wasn't in the final party, so I assumed it was because of that.

If anyone's interested in my Drizzt build, leave a comment and I'll gladly share.

Today is a online gaming night~ I’ll be starting a playthrough of #DivinityOriginalSin2 with friends. We played through #BaldursGate3 before and decided to try this one out. Looks like environment effects will be a much bigger focus.
I skimmed the skills and will likely focus on Hydro and Geo. I’m purposely not looking too much into it to avoid spoilers

#BG3 life hack: if the only character who can cast Aid is a Paladin, you can upcast it only as a LV3 spell so that you get a +10 to the hitpoint maximum. But if you make the Paladin drink a Supreme Elixir of Arcane Cultivation, they get a LV4 spell slot, even when they don't naturally have that, and you can then use that to upcast Aid as LV4 and get +15 to the hitpoint maximum. After you've done this, the Paladin can drink some other elixir if you need them on the field.

Of course if you have a Cleric in your party, they can upcast Aid as LV6 spell. But sometimes you just don't have a Cleric 😅
