Yeah never had the Gith in my party, and she got killed in another scenario in ACT 1...
And agree, it was great having Shadowheart in the party but the story choices you make :)

Also playing as a paladin, and drafted in Jaheira after removing Shadowheart.

But she's only at the end of Act 2 apparently, but yeah you're playing as you'd play :-).
I'm playing as I would play my rogue, keep as many people to be my meat shields while myself and Astarion move around to sneak...

I can do the unlock, I also have the charisma to get out of most battles, I am just not strong or tough :-).

I see door I smash door down
Astarion annoys the feck out of me.

Only reason I keep most of them around is to see all their stories before I kill all of them on my second run
 
It's like last week Friday I started an MP campaign with a buddy as a cleric... Actually having HP and being able to confront things more head one was completely different :-).

People say Shadowheart has probably the worst setup, you need to reroll her asap.

Took me a while but I just reached Act 3, with around 60 hours gameplay under my belt.

Took me about the same time, was a little under powered in certain scenarios and had to spend some time doing side quests to level up a little :)

Shoo I am still on Act 1, still finding things to do, I jump between the mountain pass and back, there is so many things. Like fish people worshipping a red cap, freaking strange ox, hags, monster hunters. I feel they packed all this into Act 1 cause it was the pre-release from 2020.

yeah, I started a 2nd play through on PS5 yesterday, and already on a completely different path and will take it alot slower...
 
Capping your level at 12 I find to be a weird choice
I reached the cap at the start of exploring the lower city

It makes a lot of fights unnecessarily difficult, not because they are difficult fights, but because your enemies outnumber and out level you.

Forces you to cheese a lot of battles after the cap

I am only level 9 and alot of the battles I need to redo and tweak strategies continually in the lower city to get a successful outcome

Remember DnD level cap is already 20, so apparently they capped at 12 cause after 12 you'd be too powerful. But even at level 5 I found some of the level 4 encounters tough if there are too many involved. Have to actually stratergise to win.
 
AoE spells and positioning of the party becomes very important in the bigger battles
 
Anybody else fight Raphael in his own domain after stealing the hammer? No resting allowed and you need to fight his minions before fighting him and then when you do fight him he also has a bunch of minions all high level

Now that was a tough fight. Took me 2 hours of do-overs to beat
 
One thing I hate is all the reading of books and notes. Pick it up and read it the small chance it has information on a quest. Takes forever as there is just so many books and notes everywhere.
Then move it to my chest as I would forget I read it so need to put it out of sight.
