Baldur's Gate III

Just picked it up. I know they were saying series S won't have couch Co op but can't find how to turn it on the series X.

Thats perfect thanks, myself and the wife created two characters and played to the encounter or so, its going to be the blind leading the blind and neither of us bothered to read a thing about the game so we will either love it or hate it

Tried to play on controller with geforce now, wanted to throw everything out the window it was that awkward. Don't know how people can use controller with these type of games.

I had a one night stand with Lae'zel. She took the break up well.

Then fell in love with Karlach.

Briefly had my head turned when Shadowheart had her makeover but stayed strong.

It's me and Karlach 4 eva now.

Yeah you get used to the controller after a few hours. There were a few glitches with the UI which didn't help in terms of difficulty deleting or arranging the different radial menus for selecting actions. Also the fact I was very deep into the game before discovering how to select selecting multiple items quickly in the inventory. It does seem to make a lot of the movement outside battle a bit easier though, as you control your character rather than constantly pointing where you want them to go, panning the screen, pointing again, panning etc.

Once you get used to just knowing where all your actions are for your different characters on the radial menus, using a controller really isn't that bad.

But the kb/m seems a lot more well-designed and intuitive, especially during combat or when looting.

On controller? Can't remember the buttons off hand, but if you open the context menu on an item, you can pick Send To and then each character in your party's name is below. You can even do it while looting and have it go directly to them rather than adding to your own inventory and then moving to them.

Another great reason to have Karlach in your party. Her strength lets her be a mule for all the armour and weapons and anything else with a bit of weight in it.

Thought it was pretty obvious myself, maybe that's just me.

You can drag and drop, onto their portrait.

Glad to be of some help. I was mighty confused!

Act 1: Me (warlock), Shadowheart, Karlach & Astarion

Act 2: Me, Shadowheart, Karlach & Gale

Act 3: Me, Shadowheart, Karlach, Gale/La'zael

La'zael probably is more powerful than Karlach, but I preferred Karlach's character (and her, at times completely inappropriate, idle dancing). Act 2 I found a lot of need for AOE attacks so Gale started coming in a lot more clutch, plus his ability to learn spells directly. And Shadowheart is great for support in general.

You do have to mix it up though. Others I used at times, particularly in Act 3, when I knew I was going to be furthering their stories. A lot of it also comes down to your own build. If I went fighter or Rogue instead of magics, Shadowheart and Gale probably would have been mainstays.

Chop and change only to finish out character storylines. Used Gale, Karlach and La'zael pretty straight up along with my Ranger with theif skills. Most bases were covered except healing which I use potions and rest. We were quite strong by the 3rd act and was never really challenged.

Struggling to make progression with main quest lines in Act 3, can’t seem to find where I’m mentally to go, I know there are markers but they seem to be sending me around in circles. What am I missing??
