Confused? I don't blame you. Aside from the opaque nomenclature ("8'/2.5? What does that mean?") the situation behind this playthrough started off tangled and gets more tangled as we go along. On the one hand, it's a story of two friends who would like to occasionally play Baldur's Gate 3 together, but can't do so freely due…
I have a general disclaimer associated with my series of Baldur's Gate 3 posts: Anyone looking for tips how to solo Honor mode is probably looking in the wrong place. For this post, I'm weakening that disclaimer. The disparate topics I'm going to discuss are advanced enough that folks pursuing playthroughs at higher difficulty levels might find…
While doing some bookkeeping work associated with my Baldur's Gate 3 blog posts, I came across a prediction from an anthropologist. Background that you'll already know if you read any of my BG3 posts in the past year: back in playthrough 8, I named a hireling after a friend of mine. The hireling was Arctic Druid Angela;…

This post is an immediate follow-up to my previous post on my 8th playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3. 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.
