Content warning: The story gets dark. That's shown in some of the images, especially those that reflect the relationship between Laurelin and Astarion. If you somehow got to this post directly: This is another post in my BG3 series. I’m not a skilled player. Don’t expect tips for soloing Honor mode. It's both a playthrough write-up and…
Before we conclude the story (here's parts one and two), some reminders: This is Baldur's Gate 3 fanfic (though perhaps it's better described as an annotated screenshot album). The screenshots are from my 8th playthrough of the game. Angela the Arctic Druid is a hireling, not a "Tav." It may help to know her back story. I'll…

If you somehow are reading this essay without reading that one, this essay will be incomprehensible to you. It might be incomprehensible anyway. There are some things here that elude me too. If you still want to read this…
This is part of my series of posts on Baldur's Gate 3. If you're reading this post without reading the others: I will try to avoid spoilers, but inevitably there will be some. In particular, any links to information on the BG3 wiki or YouTube videos should be regarded as spoiler-laden. I'm not a particularly skilled player.…
In my big Baldur's Gate 3 post, I said that I might update the diary at the end of the post as I continued my playthroughs. Instead, I've decided to write a fresh post for each playthrough, as long I'm interested in documenting my experiences with the game. Caveats I'm not a particularly skilled gamer. If you're…
This is not a review of Baldur's Gate 3. The game has been reviewed (massively so!), received almost every honor the gaming industry can award, and has been out for several months (after a playtest of many years).
