Bags full of noblestalk, like little blue tribbles

my wife's game is loading her bags up with noblestalk. Dozens of them. at first, she sold them, now she just dumps them. No idea why it's doing that. Doesn't do it on my game. Anyone else have this issue or come up with a fix for it?

HM Act 1 Voss Weapon Drop

I'm playing honor mode, around lvl5, and figured "why not try to drop the legendary sword off Voss". It was a 16% chance to succeed and it amazingly worked.... Until I realized that the weapon he dropped was a normal gith crossbow?

I'm not sure what happened here and why I didn't get the legendary sword despite the command drop succeeding.

Can someone explain?

Saving Wylls dad after breaking his pact. Quest complete?

I just broke Wylls pact Mizora and planned on saving his dad but now it's seeming like it's saying the quest is over.

The quest says "Completed" and "Wyll broke his pact with Mizora. Duke Ravengard is no longer our concern." Wyll even said it's not a concern when I said his dad still might be alive.

I swear with my last play through the quest was still active to find him and Wyll didn't give up hope. What happened?

Specific Achievement

Okay, so I just finished the game for the first time, and I got an achievement called "ceremorphosis" which requires one of your party members to become a Mind Flayer to beat the final boss, I know there probably isn't a "proper" way to beat the game, but seeing how few people have it, I am thinking I wasn't "supposed" to do that? I ended up just feeling like I was banging my head against the wall otherwise.

Question about ascension Astarion

I have yet to play, but I am very curious. It’ll be a while before I can play so I’m okay learning stuff, I’ve watched lots of videos, I just don’t know how to phrase this question for google or YouTube.

I understand if you ascend astarion he becomes the worst version of himself, so my question:

If he is at the point in your party that he is on the verge of leaving because he hates you so much…if you ascend him, will he become hostile? Or just continue to be a jerk who doesn’t like you?

how in the hells do you romance karlach

can someone PLEASE tell me EXACTLY what you have to do to romance karlach. i'm at my wits end here, people. i have barely had any interaction with shadow heart this play through and she is still somehow the only one who wants to know my mc better. karlach has remained in my party since i found her, i've only had maybe one decision she disagreed with, i got her the infernal iron from the goblins, and i still can't trigger any further dialogue than her going back to camp. it makes me want to quit the game because this play through was solely meant to focus on romancing her after how much i loved her in my first game, in which i found out too late about the infernal iron situation and didn't get to try to romance her there either. please help me. every guide i find on youtube says something different and starts the romance in a different place. i am trying to trigger the scene where she wakes tav at camp after the first infernal iron fix in the grove.

First time player indecisive about how to play the game.

I want to play through the game at least twice. I want to try an Honor Mode playthrough at some point as well.

So my thoughts are, the first playthrough, just fuck around with an evil Durge, killing everything in sight. Just a grand ol murder party. Get a lay of the land and loot locations in preparation for the Honor Mode.

The second playthrough would be my Honor Mode playthrough. I'd play as an origin character and do everything in-character. I'd disable all the mods so I could get the achievements as well.

Does this sound advisable, or would you recommend something else?

Can you change your camp clothes in the epilogue party?

I want my TAV to wear a modded outfit during the epilogue party and was wondering if we can access the camp chest/our inventory with modded items during the party? Last time I finished the game I wasn't able to play around with it and I never found out (but I think I remember accessing my inventory but it was cleared, or maybe I remembered that incorrectly). I don't want to wear the modded outfit before the epilogue as I was going to screen record my progress before that, and I think the modded clothing would be out of place.

So, is there a chance that my TAV could access the camp chest/her inventory with the modded outfit inside, or should I just wear the camp outfit before going to confront the Netherbrain?

Something That Still Bugs Me

It's simple, really. Why didn't astarion just drink Cazador's blood after we helped him decide to not be ascendant. Then he could be a true vampire. Why is it Ascendant or Spawn only

I should mention I have 1k+ hours in the game, I'm not a beginner.

Question about post-Pale Elf long rest scene

Is there one? I may have messed up because I completed Daughter of Darkness and The Pale Elf both in the same session without long resting between them. When I did rest, I got a little scene with Shadowheart talking about the outcome of her quest, but I didn’t get a scene with Astarion for his. I tried long resting again and still didn’t get one. Did I miss Astarion’s last quest scene? Or is there not one? I’ve searched around a bit and I can’t seem to find a scene that would make much sense taking place right then.

If it’s relevant, I chose to >!help Astarion complete the ritual!< at the end of his quest.

I just want to make sure I didn’t miss a scene and if I did, if anyone has a link to it, that would be awesome. TIA :)

Can't get Haarlep scene to trigger

My friend and I are playing BG3 together (I for the first time, but they're on their third run without me). A while ago, in the Hpuse of Hope I gave Haarlep my body, and my friend mentioned the scene that occurs sometime after that in the Lower City. It's been a good while after that in-game (we only need to do a couple of quests before the final one now), and my friend just realized that the scene hasn't triggered for me yet. I don't think we really even know where the spot that triggers the scene is. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Raid the grove or sack it: can I do neither?

I'm playing a sorcerer with a noble background, so she's entitled and selfish. Got to Halsin in the goblin dungeon, and he asks for help killing the 3 before they can raid the grove. I tell him that shit ain't my problem, and he says ok but he ain't coming with me.

Is that it? Can I just leave and be on my way? Obviously the grove will get raided, but I won't be participating, I just always thought I was forced into one of those two options. And if I abandon the grove, will Wyll and Karlach leave like they do if you attack the grove?

Impeccable timing

Just entered the Shadowlands, first time getting this banter:

Gale: When we met, Shadowheart, your gaze seemed to linger in the distance on some unseen goal, some insubstantial purpose.

Gale: I notice now, your gaze settles on something, or someone, much closer.

Shadowheart: Is it that obvious?

Gale: Of course. There's nothing escapes a wizard's powers of observation.

One shadow fight later, and Gale makes his move on Tav, saying they're so beautiful when they fight, and he can't wait to participate in "other forms of stimulation"...while Shart is just standing there in the background, watching this man rizz Tav up when he KNOWS Shart is also interested.

Ruthless. I love this game.

I am one of those degenerates who hit 100 mods :(

Is 691 hours a reasonable amount of game time to be picking up anything and everything that can make my game more diverse?

I want to play BDG3, but idk if I'd like the gameplay

I've played D&D precisely once in my life, and my video game history doesn't really have any similar styled games in it so I can't say with certainty I'll enjoy that aspect of things. I'm not the sort of person that would grit their teeth and endure it with something they don't enjoy playing and I don't want to drop a load of money on something that'll just sit unused. So I guess I'd like to hear how people (first time players especially) feel/felt about gameplay. The good, the bad and the meh.

Also if there are any cheaper games with similar gameplay that I can try out as a litmus test, I'm all ears! Thanks.

Minthara romance as a good character?

Hopefully this is the right flair, I don’t post often. But I’m currently entering act 3 on my first play through! Already an all time favorite game! But I really wanna romance Minthara as semi decent good guy, is it possible, there’s been know dialog options I’ve seen yet. Should I just go for a different character?

Non-Lethal Attacks Not Working?

I tried to clear the basement of Auntie Ethel’s place using non-lethal attacks and knocked them all out, to discover they had died after the fact anyway. No, I wasn’t using spells or ranged attacks. Why are they dead?
