Posted this a few days ago but it was a meme post. Figured a top level one might work a lil better, maybe.

So I was thinking about BG3 and how I've never really had the chance to play with other people. Was wondering if anyone else wanted to get together and play a game? Use Discord for some voice chat between the lot of us? I have no issue on mods whether we want some or not. Figured I'd grab a few people who were interested, if any are, and see if we can schedule something for all of us to play. Like a real DnD game, to an extent. Maybe come up with some house rules or something to add into it. Could be fun. What do you say?

If you're interested at all, drop a comment or send me a message.

Edit: I may be slightly slow to respond. Spring cleaning day and all that. I've been snoozing the reminder to make this post for 4 hours...

I've wanted to do this, too, but some times it's difficult because I'm really into the tactics of the game. I generally blow past a lot of the story these days because I've played and seen so much of it all, but there's always new ways to do combat and some strategies I haven't tried with particular battles. Having said that, if you are into the story, I suppose I could run around and loot all the hidden things while someone else is in a dialogue.

I'd want to do a decent handful of mods and I know not everyone is down with these (all from ingame mod manager):

  • Tactician Enhanced
  • Party Limit Begone (so we could do up to 4 person coop, each of us gets 1 companion if we want it)
  • Extra Encounters + More Enemies in Regular Encounters
  • Random Loot (so the gear we find is different locations than vanilla)
  • Full set of class-specific loot (there's 12 of them, but we could do without this if too much)

Also disclaimer: my internet is kinda shit, I get ~100/Mbps on average. May or may not be an issue, I'm not entirely sure. I never really had issues playing Helldivers 2, so maybe not an issue with BG3.

If there's a group that's cool with all that, then I'm interested. Again, though, I know not all players are into it this way.

ETA: I'd be playing on Steam, but I'm fairly certain all the mods I mentioned are available on console, too.

I consider my internet connection to be good, and I'm at 60mbps down, 10 up.

Good to know! And I thought my 45 up was dirty 😅
