Note: I have received Angela's specific permission to use her name and images I've captured during our playthroughs in my blog posts. Another note: I originally wrote this as one long essay. As with playthrough 13, I've split it into multiple posts to hopefully make it easier to read. This Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough did not take…
In April 2025, Larian Studios released Patch 8 for Baldur's Gate 3. The two biggest changes introduced by the patch were: Cross-play - This means that it was now possible to have multi-player games in which some gamers were on desktop computers and others were on consoles. Previously, multi-player games were restricted to just one of those…
This is part 5 in a series of 5 posts. Start from the first one if you want this post to make sense. Bear in mind that I’m Wiccan. When I talk about the Wicked Witch Sandalwood, it's just a story. This is not a SPOILER ALERT! Sandalwood asked me not to issue any spoiler warnings. She…
This is part 4 in a series of 5 posts. You want to start with the first one. It's important to note that Sandalwood the Witch is fictional. I'm Wiccan. The faux narrative tone I assume is part of the character, and does not represent me. Traitors I mentioned in an earlier post that the coven had…
This is part 3 in a series of 5 posts. I strongly advise you to start from the first one. In particular, I'm Wiccan. Sandalwood is a fictional character. She does not represent my personal views. Scratch Scratch was fine. Of course Scratch is a good boy, but why do I mention this here? We'll learn the…
This is part 2 in a series of 5 posts. Please read the posts in order, starting from the first one. In particular, note that I am Wiccan. I'm describing a character, not my personal views. Others What about any other potential companions? Wyll I knew that Wyll would object to Sandalwood's long-term plans and leave the…
I am Wiccan. I know the "Evil Witches Coven" meme is a result of marketing and sensationalism, not reality. For my thirteenth playthrough, I chose to lean into superstition and stereotype. Please bear that in mind as the narrative capers and prances in its description of Sandalwood's actions. Another note: While I avoid overt spoilers, these posts…
As a coda to my series of posts on die rolls in Baldur's Gate 3, I present to you a die roll that might be even harder to get than a 67: No analysis this time. If you want to know how I got that, you'll have to figure it out for yourself.
If you've been reading the posts in my Baldur's Gate 3 series, you may have noticed that I'm no longer doing my didactic "D&D lessons" as much as I used to. That's mostly because, from what little feedback I get, they're just not interesting. I've shifted these posts to be mostly photo albums of my adventures in…
Here are my final notes on playthrough 12. Aren't these posts getting long? Not really.
