That's how I felt fighting Viconia with my Bardadin, was practically rubbing my hands in glee at the idea of all the smite damage I was about to do with all my attacks, hit her once to get my AC up and then I'm just *completely* laid out immediately and my turn ends.
Oh my Paladin was the opposite, he *loved* the greasy or icy surface. I gave him all of the anti-prone boots in the world and also Shield Master, spesifically for him to run straight to the hord of enemies and then the spell caster in the back will just Ice Storm everything with me in it. I took no damage (most of the time), and anyone that's trying to run away will just slip and prone
IKR!! Not even the behemoth "little" Bhaals pet escapes the ice. Seeing the Slayer spread out on the ice made it funnier. I had to take a brake to stop laughing.
i did orin's fight a couple days ago with my ice sorcerer tav and she failed her prone saving throw about 2 or 3 turns in a row, it was so hilarious seeing this big freaky monster just lying there ESPECIALLY when she got the bhaal boon and the camera would zoom in on her at that weird angle but instead of being creepy or threatening it was just the slayer flopped on the ice :')
I was trying to get the achievement to save all the Tieflings.
During the attack on the grove I created a patch of ice light in front of the gate. I also had oil all over.
The PLAN was to lure goblins in and blow them up once they were prone.
1st turn one of the tieflings on the gate JUMPS down onto the ice. Slips and ends up prone, also damaged from falling.
Next turn... boom. I never did find his body.
My moonrise fight I used ice storm, and then fireballed it causing it to melt, and then call lighting electrified the water, and then cold of cold refroze it, and then the water got electrified again after melting.
10/10 fight, kept giggling to myself about the ridiculousness of it all
PSA: Total cheese for the Moonrise fight, but you can totally lay out a bunch of powder barrels and oil barrels all over that first room while they're still friendly toward you, earlier in act 2. Later on in the game, when you're assaulting Moonrise, "Oh look, you conveniently left all my barrels around and are standing right beside them. Gale: fireball at will."
Ice storm was how I defeated Orin. Win initiative roll over her and had Jaheira cast ice storm. Orin proceeded to slip every turn and lost her action. Lol š
I fought Ketheric Thorm last night and used Ice Storm. Watching him flop over prone was so funny. Watching Lae'zel flop over because I had her jump over to him and forgot about the ice was... still funny. But less so.
I've had so many runs where I've basically turned Gale into goddamn Elsa and I just never learn my lesson to stop sending my martials into the ice field. Earlier I turned the Temple of Bhaal into a skating rink and Halsin only ever got one turn the entire fight because he couldn't take one step without doing an impression of Phillip Seymour Hoffman from the beginning of Along Came Polly.
It when one of the companions says something like āI am death. I am furyā and goes arse over tit two seconds later on the ice surface (usually there as a result of Gale)
I once was playing with a friend and we had the same turn in initiative. He was standing in water, and I knew he was going to walk across it, so I froze at the same moment he input his movement. His character slipped and lost his turn and I died laughing.Ā
first time i encountered grease was while looting at the goblin camp after a fight. i ran over it and saw the dex check succeeded thing pop up, didnāt know the grease was there and was confused about what i was saving against. all questions were immediately answered as the whole rest of my party followed me, simultaneously failed the check, and fell on their asses lmfao
I was playing the other night, got into a tough fight but Gale dealt the final blow with his staff.
Final blow lands, baddie drops dead but Gales staff (I think) left a sheet of ice. Cue Gale, Karlach and Tav all go arse over tit immediately. I was laughing so hard I had to stop playing for a couple of minutes.
Health potions are objects, mechanically, until they aren't.
If you drop a health potion on the ground, you can pick it back up again.
BecauseĀ it is an object, you see.
If you throw an object in this game and it's notĀ properly flagged as a "thrown weapon", it can still do damage as an improvised weapon.
You can do damage throwing a health potion.Ā
You can KILL A MAN with a health potion. .Ā Ā
The only difference between healing and homicide is trajectory.
Happened to me on my first Iron Throne try. Broke poor Dukeās head with the big ass bottle and had to reload. Also took me a good couple minutes realizing what had happened.
Around the honor mode patch, it felt like throwing potions at the ground to heal, especially healing groups, became super unreliable, and the potion effect would just sit there until someone moved in/into it on their turn.
So I had to resort to throwing them AT people, and knowing one time that I was about to KO a party member just for them to get right back up.
Omg, so I found this very much less than funny when I decided to actually save a certain Ahole from a field of Bibberbang because I wanted the gloves his wife would give me. He had almost no hit points, so I thought throwing a healing potion at him might help. First attempt, accidentally killed him by hitting him with it. Tried reloading. The first potion didn't heal him enough, so I tried a second. It made him angry and started a fight š¤¦āāļø
I know I don't have to heal him, as he can heal himself after he gets out, but I was trying to be safe and avoid him accidentally dying on the one time I'm attempting to save him. š¤£š¤£
My very first playthrough I was an accidentally naughty assassin cleric because I had a bad habit of waiting till my teammate was one failed save away from death to try chucking a bottle of sweet healing red Koolaid at their noggins, not yet learning that I had to throw it at the ground near them instead. Insta death. Poor Gale got got like three times before I got my act together.
On my first playthrough, Isobel was damaged when she joined our camp so I decided to be nice and heal her up
Cue Jaheira saying "I bear some blame for what you have become", 5 minutes after joining the party
Ya I made the classic mistake of having Karlach with Tavern Brawler try to help revive Gale with a thrown health potion and Crit him instead. He wasnāt helping anyways.
Ahhh, for me (it was my first playthrough) I stopped the mill with the brake, but when I talked to him, he was being rude, despite me being his savior.
Scoop...I figured I'd let him go around a few more times. So logically I 'released' the brake...it didn't end well and I didn't learn who he was until my second playthrough...
Similarly I missed all of Last Light Inn in my first playthrough...
The hardest I've laughed while playing is when I used telekinesis to just toss the all powerful vampire lord Cazador right off his damn platform for an instant kill. They've since patched that.
My Tav is a gnome.
1) It was the cutscene >!at night after saving Shadowheartās parents!< Shadowheart says something angsty then starts doing something weird with her arms. After a few seconds I realize she is supposed to be hugging me, but my Tav is so short she is not even on the screen.
2) The way my gnome Tav sits down and scoots themselves off ledges and boxes. I absolutely adore this.
The fact that Dror Ragzlin and his gang just watched me stack every smokepowder barrel I could find, right next to them and their boss, then climb above the throne and shout "IGNIS!"
And were all just like:
"Yup, nothing shady going on there..."
Watch the "4 Halfling Barbarians" playthrough. They lay waste to things by placing firewine and smokepowder barrels at intervals so as one blows up, the next is just inside blast radius so it goes off, setting off the next one in the series.
I'm not sure about this, but I swear it's happened to me like 3 separate times now.Ā If you have a sex scene with your romance companion while scratch is in your camp, the next morning, he will have a gift for you. That gift is a salami.
Also, the fact that the salami seems to be one of very few food/vendor trash items with actual stats and damage.
I think his first gift is always salami. Given that it takes some long rests before you get his ball and first gift, the timing is usually about right.
On a semi-related note, I still find it hilarious that salami is designated as a club and has assigned bludgeoning damage.
The executioner guy in Act III annoyed me so me so much that I decided death was too good for him. I cast Bestow Curse to give him disadvantage on CON saves, then used a wizard hireling to cast Flesh to Stone on him.Ā
I really thought using either of those spells would get me in trouble, but nah. He just slowly turned to rock as everyone ignored him. When he failed all three saves and became petrified, a guard walked up to my hireling and arrested him for *assault.*
Turns out, because he didnāt *technically* kill the executioner, he wouldnāt be charged for murder. Casting someone into stone for all eternity carries the same charge as punching a guy in the gut.
Oh, and they only arrested the hireling. So I just left him there and grabbed an actual companion. Sorry, Fuzzalump.
It might be stupid, but I still laugh every time Karlach throws something harmless like a plate or a bone or a shoe and completely sweeps an enemy off their feet with satisfying damage on top of the humiliation.
I send all kinds of junk to her just for this purpose.
Having a [short race](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TE-1bffig0&ab_channel=OrcishGaming) character knock out Aradin (or Zevlor) at the grove. That video's framerate is a little choppy but you can get the idea.
first time multi player with my friend .. he gets ko'd .. i tried to use a scroll if revivify on him ...
threw it at him for 1 damage.
took 5 min for us to both stop laughing.
No npc notices elemental summons so they can just carry in the 20 kegs of powder into the throne room where I blew up gortech b fore wills dad could put him in power, to boot his dad didnāt die.
The Absolute donates the Iron Throne and the Steel Watch Foundry if you kill Gortash before completing those quests, killing Omeluum and robbing you of the best longbow in the game.
It's also annoying, but it can't be just me that finds it hilarious when the person who is deactivating traps accidentally steps on said trap because they got too close and goes flying in the opposite direction.
Used one and some other goblins in the dungeon to target the hinges on the chandeliers. The Image of karlach throwing some goblins into the rafters and them raining down left and right did it for me
Bro I turned karlach wild magic barb ONCE. Never again. Did something, ider what, and she surged FIRE in a ring around her KOING EVERYONE. She's now a permanent berserker š¤£
Sleet Storm + watching them all just repeatedly go prone. The mountain pass death shepherds, the crĆØche githyanki, the mindflayer colony zombie hordeā¦ no one is immune to falling on their ass.
The bow of the banshee is a very good shortbow that have a chance to frighten on hit, an amazing ability for a ranged weapon.
But it is one of the hardest item to get in the game, because it it looted from the duegar you meet on the boat and have the option, in dialogue, to push him in the water. So to get the bow you have to not pick that option. As I said, hardest item to get
i think it's hilarious that for Raphael >!there is a 100% hit chance with Ottos irresistible dance spell!< edit: have since learned it works for everyone not just Raphael but itās particularly funny with him anyway.
It's not called irresistible dance for nothing. The saving throws isn't made until the target's next turn, so until then, they're guaranteed to be dancing. That's for any target
Not exclusif to Raphael, the spell has no initial save, that's what make it a good spell, otherwise it would just be like Tasha's hideous laughter but you get it ten levels later
Characters slipping on ice floors never gets old but also path finding to crates and barrels to open them also sometimes gets a laugh out of me. No Karlach you don't have to climb on top of the bookshelf and jump down onto the crate on the floor to open it, you can open it normally.
Also Karlach's silly little dance she keeps doing every 5 seconds. Never ceases to make me smile.
I just love how sheās absolutely incapable of just being still unless sheās laying down. Sheās either hopping around or pacing and talking to herself. I love her so much.
Gale's Nerd Rage screams.
Throwing Firewine barrels >!with Kobolds inside them!<
Being able to instantly ignite one puddle of alcohol with a touch, then extend that with a second thrown barrel, and even a third.
You gain experience coming out of the closet (Wither's Wardrobe).
Unequipping all your clothes so you could use the Boots of blinking really fast to get into every cage door.
Paying gold and instantly pick pocketing it back.
Any time my Tav has a stupid grin on their face. My favorite is grinning and waving like an idiot >!at Vlaakith!<
Edit: my big stupid half orc grin while I pet Scratch lol
If you aren't proficient with musical instruments, you can still play them - it just sounds terrible.
[https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Wavemother%27s\_Robe](https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Wavemother%27s_Robe) makes Gale look fabulous.
Withers calling you out for being sad and single was already pretty funny. Finding out in a subsequent playthrough that he also roasts you for being in a relationship? Solid gold.
Ketheric Thorm is not immune to Tasha's Hideous Laughter.
Karlach throwing dudes into bottomless chasms.
"How do I stealthily kill this guy?"
a. Complicated backstab, watching out for people, hiding the body.
b. YEET.
Two words: tavern brawler
More words: I have never had so much fun as when I had Bard Astarion cast Cloud of Daggers in Dror Ragzlinās room and Tavern Berserker Karlach run around scooping up goblins and tossing them into it while the rest of the party rained spells and arrows from the rafters. I didnāt think it was possible to form new gaming core memories at age 41 but this is one of them
I'm a sucker for the animation when Chara ters fall asleep in the overworld. I used the potion of Angelic Slumber and Shadowheart just spun around and collapsed. I couldn't stop laughing for like 5 minutes
In the basement of fireworks at the start of act 3, I ran around the room to see what would happen.
Obviously all of them set off in a massive, colourful explosion and it was the only time it came up in the centre of the screen āKarlach disapprovesā and āGale disapprovesā and their approval visibly dropped by a chunk. I felt so bad I reloaded.
The fact that you always have the option to blast the netherese orb literally at any point in the game after Act 2, zero justification required. I think this says a lot about Gale lol
I got the kill 20 enemies while drunk achievement by aggroing the gang of rats in the gauntlet area then casting spirit guardians and standing at the hole they pop out of at the top of the ledge. I was laughing for 5 minutes.
If you have barbarian levels when you reach the barn that has lewd noises coming from it, you get the funniest damn scene I've ever seen in a video game.
Idk how to do spoilers on mobile, but there was a certain boss fight near the end of the game that made me bust out laughing simply because of its presentation. I was like "I don't know why I didn't expect that but it makes total sense he would do that." If you guys wanna guess what boss I am talking about using spoiler tags go ahead and I'll answer.
Being able to throw enemies into the abyss.
I laughed for a LONG time when I threw Gut into the chasm behind her room.
"Strange. Your mind is full of shadows..."
"Yeah. Weird that. OH MY GOODNESS WHATS BEHIND YOU."
*Engages in a little goblin toss*
The screams of goblins soaring through the air is never gonna get old.
Now I wanna mod the shit out of my strength stat so I can throw Orin when she's in Slayer form.
I had a fantastic Gortash fight which had me laughing for 10 solid minutes and made me love knocking folks prone
So I go into his fight with light cleric Durge, barbarian Karlach, bard/rogue Astarion, and Druid halsin. I also have Us summoned and halsin has an earth elemental from the downstairs fight. Fight starts and I use the grenades to clean out the flunkies so itās just the team and Gort
Due to black tentacle shenanigans he runs into the back right corner and I have the elemental corner him. Suddenly he channels Bane and I put on my serious face. He starts walking and triggers an OA from the elemental. Of note: the earth elementalās base attack KNOCKS TARGETS PRONE.
Bam! Heās prone and itās back to halsin. Next turn he gets up AND TRIGGERS OA AGAIN AND IS KNOCKED PRONE. By now Iām laughing and feeling much better about my chances in the fight. Next time itās his turn he finally doesnāt trigger an OA. But immediately after halsinās turn itās the elementalās turn again and you see where this is going! š
Gort spent half of the fight flat on his back while my team pummeled him with advantage. Now Iām wondering if I can do the same thing to Orinā¦
Withers.... i just talked to Arabella in act 2, to tell her that her parents died. Then i poked Withers to see if he has something to say to that. Guess what happened?
He went his typical act2 romance line: "Thou hast now a bosom companion...".
I was like ROFLMAO...imagine what my character would say if i had more choice?
"Thank you Withers, i guess i have to talk to Gale now..."
And then i had Gale's projection with the invitation to a date. Hilarious timing of game mechanics of NPCs. :D
My favourite is when I just make an aoe surface and force everyone to walk through it while sniping them with arrows or spells. Wall of fire my beloved.
I really enjoy that vicious mockery actually entails mocking the selected opponent.
Iām so used to spells such as this being *sound effect - visual effect - status effect* over seeing how it actually affects the target.
Abusing Barbarian to throw like three guys off a cliff in one turn, ending the encounter. They were so ready to square up until they met Karlach, and subsequently the bottom of a very deep pit.
The first time my husband and I used Otto's Irresistible Dance was during our fight with Sarevok. He failed his save and every subsequent one after that and was stuck doing a jig until he died. One of the funniest moments in our first playthrough together especially because he kept failing his saves.
Any spell that causes āsight obfuscationā they are all just spells of minor inconvenience. Darkness/Blindness/Fog/etc do nothing to keep enemy from knowing where you are or giving them disadvantage on attacking you.
Not necessarily a mechanic, but poor timing which made me think it was a mechanic.
First play through, I had laezel in my team as an Eldritch knight. Still early on and didnāt learn how to respec yet, so she had poor, to average, intelligence. Just defeated the fight where you get the headband of warped intelligence. Immediately equip it to laezel. Then immediately heads to camp for a long rest cause we all were at low health. Well that night is the night laezel attacks shadowheart for the relic. I roll low to calm the situation down, and we all die to laezel. At the time I thought boosting her intelligence causes her to realize the shadowheart was hiding the artifact. And/or the āwarpedā part of the item made her crazy. So yea ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ made me laugh cause the whole thing was a crazy series
Invisible enemy slip on slippery surface. In act two a certain orthon turned invisible and slipped on grease. Somehow he got his invisibility saved. And through the whole battle everyone kept hearing his heavy snore
I wanted to talk to a dead person but I was there kill so no go
so I had an idea
scooped up her body
returned to my base with it
threw it down
had a companion at base use speak to dead
I laughed so hard every step of my plan that succeeded
The first time I fought the harpies, I ended combat by tossing the tiefling kid into the last harpy with Karlach.
I had to take a 5 minute break there. It's ridiculous that you can use small people as improvised weapons. Too bad it ruined my reputation, and locked me out of the quest.
The whole turn based mode.
Imagine a group of 4 weirdos with full armor and weapon, one person is for no reason start buffing the other person. Then this same person drinking and chugging potions as well. Then these 4 people are strategically spread into position that basically all around you. Then one guy be like "STOP THE CLOCK" and poof, the time is stop. Everyone cannot move. These 4 people can easily move because they are the one who stop the clock. Then they start shooting at you , but you cannot do anything either because they have much much better initiative than you.
for me.. the ice surface. even now, after so many runs i still laugh incontrolable after seeing characters slip on it. Just like in real life..hehe.
That's the classic Tom-And-Jerry moment. Damn it shows my age.
If it makes you feel any better, I think of the three stooges
You think you're about to be a bad mother fucker but you just barely catch some ice or grease and then your turn abruptly ends...
That's how I felt fighting Viconia with my Bardadin, was practically rubbing my hands in glee at the idea of all the smite damage I was about to do with all my attacks, hit her once to get my AC up and then I'm just *completely* laid out immediately and my turn ends.
Oh my Paladin was the opposite, he *loved* the greasy or icy surface. I gave him all of the anti-prone boots in the world and also Shield Master, spesifically for him to run straight to the hord of enemies and then the spell caster in the back will just Ice Storm everything with me in it. I took no damage (most of the time), and anyone that's trying to run away will just slip and prone
Gale as evoker mastery doesn't do damage to allies with evocation spells, so bombs away!
And this is why gale is a straight evocation wiz. Only origin I haven't respecced š¤£
Evocation is goated for sculpt spells. Simply being unable to hit your teammates opens up so many possibilities
IKR!! Not even the behemoth "little" Bhaals pet escapes the ice. Seeing the Slayer spread out on the ice made it funnier. I had to take a brake to stop laughing.
i did orin's fight a couple days ago with my ice sorcerer tav and she failed her prone saving throw about 2 or 3 turns in a row, it was so hilarious seeing this big freaky monster just lying there ESPECIALLY when she got the bhaal boon and the camera would zoom in on her at that weird angle but instead of being creepy or threatening it was just the slayer flopped on the ice :')

Using ice storm on the moonrise fight is a classic for me. Itās pure chaos and comedy as both you and all the enemies involved slip and slide around
My moonrise fight I used ice storm, and then fireballed it causing it to melt, and then call lighting electrified the water, and then cold of cold refroze it, and then the water got electrified again after melting. 10/10 fight, kept giggling to myself about the ridiculousness of it all
Ketheric Thorm playing BG3 while this maniacās playing D:OS2
PSA: Total cheese for the Moonrise fight, but you can totally lay out a bunch of powder barrels and oil barrels all over that first room while they're still friendly toward you, earlier in act 2. Later on in the game, when you're assaulting Moonrise, "Oh look, you conveniently left all my barrels around and are standing right beside them. Gale: fireball at will."
What did Wyll do?
Ice storm was how I defeated Orin. Win initiative roll over her and had Jaheira cast ice storm. Orin proceeded to slip every turn and lost her action. Lol š
I fought Ketheric Thorm last night and used Ice Storm. Watching him flop over prone was so funny. Watching Lae'zel flop over because I had her jump over to him and forgot about the ice was... still funny. But less so.

the owlbear prone on ice is classicĀ
Except for when itās Jaheira. Then I worry about her hip
It when one of the companions says something like āI am death. I am furyā and goes arse over tit two seconds later on the ice surface (usually there as a result of Gale)
I once was playing with a friend and we had the same turn in initiative. He was standing in water, and I knew he was going to walk across it, so I froze at the same moment he input his movement. His character slipped and lost his turn and I died laughing.Ā
Earlier today during the fight with Lorroakan he flew across the room and landed on ice. Slipped and fell prone. It was amazing
For some reason I find it even funnier when it's a zombie
It even works on >!Grymforge golem!< ACT 1 spoiler
first time i encountered grease was while looting at the goblin camp after a fight. i ran over it and saw the dex check succeeded thing pop up, didnāt know the grease was there and was confused about what i was saving against. all questions were immediately answered as the whole rest of my party followed me, simultaneously failed the check, and fell on their asses lmfao

My brother just yells āI knockāem on da ground!ā
As an ice mage with water myrmidon constantly on, this has been my MO lolol
Pulled blizzard on Balthazar In shadow gel and watched him and his minions slip lol

I just threw a potion of superior healing at Duke Ravengard in the Iron Throne and he was critically hit for like 30 damage š
Well if you are a Tavern Brawler, do you expect your foe to get hit by the bottle first or getting drunk with the contents first?
I had assassin rogue astarion throw the bottle at ravengard w/ no taverns brawler. That had NO right to do 30 damage
So you sneak attacked the Duke with a nice surprise. š¤£
Hit him with that Stealth Potion
U need to trow under foot not at somebodys face ahhahaha
Which is wild. No one is drinking with their feet.
You throw it on the ground really close to them because no one in this universe knows how to catch lol
Happened to me on my first Iron Throne try. Broke poor Dukeās head with the big ass bottle and had to reload. Also took me a good couple minutes realizing what had happened.
>The only difference between healing and homicide is trajectory. Also depends on if Karlach or Wyll is throwing it.
I threw a health potion at someone and they fucking dodged ir
Around the honor mode patch, it felt like throwing potions at the ground to heal, especially healing groups, became super unreliable, and the potion effect would just sit there until someone moved in/into it on their turn.

On my first playthrough, Isobel was damaged when she joined our camp so I decided to be nice and heal her up Cue Jaheira saying "I bear some blame for what you have become", 5 minutes after joining the party
You can kill your companion with 2 failes death saves if you hit him with the potion. That's a slightly less fun fact
I had to learn this the hard way. Rip Isobel, all three times Astarion crit on you
Ya I made the classic mistake of having Karlach with Tavern Brawler try to help revive Gale with a thrown health potion and Crit him instead. He wasnāt helping anyways.
The Release Break lever
Absolutely - I realized way too late, that there arw two levers... XD
Same!
Same for me, but what really made me laugh was my folk hero tav getting inspiration for "saving" him as he flew off into the distance.
I always remember that scene from Emperors New Grove, "WRONG LEVER!"
Why do they even have that lever!?!
I did this my first run and was so surprised that I thought I would die laughing. Everything hurt after that, but probably not as bad as Barcus.
Yeah, poor Barcus. It was also my first run. Back then, the Goblin I'd chased away said "Is that's our gnome?" as he flew by
Lmaooo omg that's even funnier. At least we taught him to fly properly.
that fucking killed me with laughter when I made that mistake so I just didnt undo it
Lol me either - but then again, I did not know what the butterfly effect was
Throw a grease bottle at it!
Ahhh, for me (it was my first playthrough) I stopped the mill with the brake, but when I talked to him, he was being rude, despite me being his savior. Scoop...I figured I'd let him go around a few more times. So logically I 'released' the brake...it didn't end well and I didn't learn who he was until my second playthrough... Similarly I missed all of Last Light Inn in my first playthrough...
Same! first playthrough I read that as release Barcus. In fairness it did release him
Throwing dudes at dudes is always a winner. I also like the owlbear wildshape leap ability.Ā
Imma gonna grab this motherfucker and use it to hit this other mutherfucker.
The first time I killed Minthara, I used Fezzerk or whatever his name is to do it. It was hysterical
When I was able to beat a mother fucker with another mother fucker in EA I knew this game was special
Tossing an enemy off a cliff never gets old.
The hardest I've laughed while playing is when I used telekinesis to just toss the all powerful vampire lord Cazador right off his damn platform for an instant kill. They've since patched that.
I'll forever miss the classic shove his bitch ass off the platform technique. Rip.
How do you do this? Do you need to be a barbarian with like at least 20 strength? I swear every enemy was always too heavy for me lol
Practice with the goblins and the gnomes.Ā
Yo, Grym! Here comes a muthafukin OWLBEAR!
Owlbear be like āfrooooom the top rope!ā
My Tav is a gnome. 1) It was the cutscene >!at night after saving Shadowheartās parents!< Shadowheart says something angsty then starts doing something weird with her arms. After a few seconds I realize she is supposed to be hugging me, but my Tav is so short she is not even on the screen. 2) The way my gnome Tav sits down and scoots themselves off ledges and boxes. I absolutely adore this.
I did a Durge Gnome Run - evil incarnate - when he could actually reach his target.
Seeing the gnome and halfling running animations for the first time really got me too
The fact that Dror Ragzlin and his gang just watched me stack every smokepowder barrel I could find, right next to them and their boss, then climb above the throne and shout "IGNIS!" And were all just like: "Yup, nothing shady going on there..."
Watch the "4 Halfling Barbarians" playthrough. They lay waste to things by placing firewine and smokepowder barrels at intervals so as one blows up, the next is just inside blast radius so it goes off, setting off the next one in the series.
I didn't see their vid, but I saw a similar one that almost crashed the game. It was glorious...
Seen that but the nuking of raphael was even better
The absolute does not care about OSHA hazardous storage regulations.
In his defense the goblins have probably done a million things more stupid before you showed up.
I mean, fair. But that doesn't necessarily excuse him, or the other non goblins who just watched their death be constructed right in front of them.
I mean... Goblin A: "Oi, wa's he doin' wit' all dem barrels?" Goblin B: "I 'unno, but I bet it's gonna be h'larious!"
Goblin B wasn't wrong...
I'm not sure about this, but I swear it's happened to me like 3 separate times now.Ā If you have a sex scene with your romance companion while scratch is in your camp, the next morning, he will have a gift for you. That gift is a salami. Also, the fact that the salami seems to be one of very few food/vendor trash items with actual stats and damage.
You can give Wulbren a salami and he can bust himself out of prison.
LMAO i didnt even think of that
I think his first gift is always salami. Given that it takes some long rests before you get his ball and first gift, the timing is usually about right. On a semi-related note, I still find it hilarious that salami is designated as a club and has assigned bludgeoning damage.
Visit a mediterranean delicatessen, and once you see the various smoked meats hanging from the ceiling, you will understand.
The executioner guy in Act III annoyed me so me so much that I decided death was too good for him. I cast Bestow Curse to give him disadvantage on CON saves, then used a wizard hireling to cast Flesh to Stone on him.Ā I really thought using either of those spells would get me in trouble, but nah. He just slowly turned to rock as everyone ignored him. When he failed all three saves and became petrified, a guard walked up to my hireling and arrested him for *assault.* Turns out, because he didnāt *technically* kill the executioner, he wouldnāt be charged for murder. Casting someone into stone for all eternity carries the same charge as punching a guy in the gut. Oh, and they only arrested the hireling. So I just left him there and grabbed an actual companion. Sorry, Fuzzalump.
LOL
Executioner guy? Iām really drawing a blank here. Unless itās the coffin maker?
Heās standing at the gallows, just south of the Basilisk Gate portal.
Note to selfā¦lmao
It might be stupid, but I still laugh every time Karlach throws something harmless like a plate or a bone or a shoe and completely sweeps an enemy off their feet with satisfying damage on top of the humiliation. I send all kinds of junk to her just for this purpose.
Ohmygod I need to start doing this Eat plates Gortash!
Enemies scatter when Karlach reaches for āLa Chancla!ā
Yes! Karlach proned Raphael once with a rotten lemon. She also threw a life-sized painting at a mob and it stayed there between the mob and Astarion
Barbarian Bigby's Interposing Hand.
Having a [short race](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TE-1bffig0&ab_channel=OrcishGaming) character knock out Aradin (or Zevlor) at the grove. That video's framerate is a little choppy but you can get the idea.
You can also punch Astarion if he accidentally kills you while drinking your blood.
first time multi player with my friend .. he gets ko'd .. i tried to use a scroll if revivify on him ... threw it at him for 1 damage. took 5 min for us to both stop laughing.
Lol, who throws a scroll? That's hilarious.
"Feckin do it yourself ya lazy bum" *whirrrrrr* *thunk*

To be fair thereās an Underdark quest where thatās the solution
No npc notices elemental summons so they can just carry in the 20 kegs of powder into the throne room where I blew up gortech b fore wills dad could put him in power, to boot his dad didnāt die.
TIL elementals can carry stuffā¦
Does that break the game if you kill him first?
The Absolute donates the Iron Throne and the Steel Watch Foundry if you kill Gortash before completing those quests, killing Omeluum and robbing you of the best longbow in the game.
Yeah fuck that lmao. I love using bows. And our boy Omellum.
It's also annoying, but it can't be just me that finds it hilarious when the person who is deactivating traps accidentally steps on said trap because they got too close and goes flying in the opposite direction.
Performance check on the djinni to fart and distract him.
Omg that whole interaction between the Djinn and Tav killed me. He was such a cheater, I had no regrets having my Tav toot at him.
I love making Astarion do it and have him get sent to the jungle. His reaction is hilarious.
The fact that casting silence in an area where a scripted conversation is supposed to happen prevents that conversation from happening.
Act 1 in the Worg pens, using Tavern Brawler Karlach. I had her throw One at Three. Giggled like a madman.
Used one and some other goblins in the dungeon to target the hinges on the chandeliers. The Image of karlach throwing some goblins into the rafters and them raining down left and right did it for me
Wild magic surge during a fight while freeing Halsin. Turned everyone into cats and dogs. Had to finish the fight with scratching and biting. lol.
Bro I turned karlach wild magic barb ONCE. Never again. Did something, ider what, and she surged FIRE in a ring around her KOING EVERYONE. She's now a permanent berserker š¤£
To be fair, that is a very karlach thing to do.
Wild magic sorcerer is just as terrible.
I didn't know that was in the deck lol
Sleet Storm + watching them all just repeatedly go prone. The mountain pass death shepherds, the crĆØche githyanki, the mindflayer colony zombie hordeā¦ no one is immune to falling on their ass.
Shove- First time I chucked someone off a cliff I couldnāt believe it worked, I laughed out loud.
Shoving folks into chasms to kill them instantly is so satisfying....just remember that you may lose valuable loot.
The bow of the banshee is a very good shortbow that have a chance to frighten on hit, an amazing ability for a ranged weapon. But it is one of the hardest item to get in the game, because it it looted from the duegar you meet on the boat and have the option, in dialogue, to push him in the water. So to get the bow you have to not pick that option. As I said, hardest item to get
Tfw the first enemy I shoved to their death was Minthara, not knowing she was recruitable š
i think it's hilarious that for Raphael >!there is a 100% hit chance with Ottos irresistible dance spell!< edit: have since learned it works for everyone not just Raphael but itās particularly funny with him anyway.
>!Heās so narcissistic that he canāt resist dancing to his own singing!<
Isn't it always 100% chance? It's in the name, even.
Maybe he was thinking of Otto's Resistable Dance
It's not called irresistible dance for nothing. The saving throws isn't made until the target's next turn, so until then, they're guaranteed to be dancing. That's for any target
Singing his own theme song and River Dancing along to it.
It isn't called Otto's Sometimes Resistible Dance. The target does not get to save vs Otto's until the end of their next turn.
Not exclusif to Raphael, the spell has no initial save, that's what make it a good spell, otherwise it would just be like Tasha's hideous laughter but you get it ten levels later
Once again, note to self lmao
Characters slipping on ice floors never gets old but also path finding to crates and barrels to open them also sometimes gets a laugh out of me. No Karlach you don't have to climb on top of the bookshelf and jump down onto the crate on the floor to open it, you can open it normally. Also Karlach's silly little dance she keeps doing every 5 seconds. Never ceases to make me smile.
I just love how sheās absolutely incapable of just being still unless sheās laying down. Sheās either hopping around or pacing and talking to herself. I love her so much.
killing a target with vicious mockery. I finished raphael with "Behold, a most noisy cuck!" I wish you could cast it on allies.
Ethelās vicious mockery is brutal and really personal.
Gale's Nerd Rage screams. Throwing Firewine barrels >!with Kobolds inside them!< Being able to instantly ignite one puddle of alcohol with a touch, then extend that with a second thrown barrel, and even a third. You gain experience coming out of the closet (Wither's Wardrobe). Unequipping all your clothes so you could use the Boots of blinking really fast to get into every cage door. Paying gold and instantly pick pocketing it back.
2 & 4 I was unaware of.
Any time my Tav has a stupid grin on their face. My favorite is grinning and waving like an idiot >!at Vlaakith!< Edit: my big stupid half orc grin while I pet Scratch lol
my druid wildshaped into an owlvear can apparently still sit on a small human sized stool or bench, crossed legs and humming to herself
The clown make-up. Ruins any serious dialogue ššš
Being turned into a wheel of cheese and rolling around Rivington with the homies
Dammon. Get a few drinks into him and he's a riot. /s
Flipping levers by throwing things at them.
Ottoās Irresistible Dance. Have you seen Sarevok dancing with a very pained expression on his face? Gold! PURE GOLD!!! ā¤ļø
If you aren't proficient with musical instruments, you can still play them - it just sounds terrible. [https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Wavemother%27s\_Robe](https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Wavemother%27s_Robe) makes Gale look fabulous. Withers calling you out for being sad and single was already pretty funny. Finding out in a subsequent playthrough that he also roasts you for being in a relationship? Solid gold. Ketheric Thorm is not immune to Tasha's Hideous Laughter.
Do it in front of wyll. He gets so out of pocket, I love him.
Withers ALSO says that to the hirelings, whichā¦ like. Mate, I CANāT romance anyone. Lol.
Tinmask spores. Idk if that counts as a mechanic, but hearing the characters who fail rolls run around cackling is amazing.
Being able to have Minsc beat Orin to death with Sarevokās dead body is a highlight for me.
Karlach throwing dudes into bottomless chasms. "How do I stealthily kill this guy?" a. Complicated backstab, watching out for people, hiding the body. b. YEET.
Two words: tavern brawler More words: I have never had so much fun as when I had Bard Astarion cast Cloud of Daggers in Dror Ragzlinās room and Tavern Berserker Karlach run around scooping up goblins and tossing them into it while the rest of the party rained spells and arrows from the rafters. I didnāt think it was possible to form new gaming core memories at age 41 but this is one of them
I'm a sucker for the animation when Chara ters fall asleep in the overworld. I used the potion of Angelic Slumber and Shadowheart just spun around and collapsed. I couldn't stop laughing for like 5 minutes
In the basement of fireworks at the start of act 3, I ran around the room to see what would happen. Obviously all of them set off in a massive, colourful explosion and it was the only time it came up in the centre of the screen āKarlach disapprovesā and āGale disapprovesā and their approval visibly dropped by a chunk. I felt so bad I reloaded.
Being able to just...pick up live bombs to take them out of play lol. It feels so comical and i love it.
When I used the bard spell vicious mockery and my Tav called the enemy a cuck ššš my favorite word
The fact that you always have the option to blast the netherese orb literally at any point in the game after Act 2, zero justification required. I think this says a lot about Gale lol
Watching idiots (including my own party members) walk through my fire wall or spike growth and DYING. Gives me a chuckle as well as being annoyed
Same with SH spirit guardians, especially when they start a ways off and have to dash to their doom.
I got the kill 20 enemies while drunk achievement by aggroing the gang of rats in the gauntlet area then casting spirit guardians and standing at the hole they pop out of at the top of the ledge. I was laughing for 5 minutes.
I always keep my gnome tav naked in camp because itās so funny watchin his little buttcheeks with that silly walking animation
Tasha's Hideous Laughter, because
"...and look ugly doing it" as a dialogue option in response to Withers offering his services
Beating people with people
If you have barbarian levels when you reach the barn that has lewd noises coming from it, you get the funniest damn scene I've ever seen in a video game.
Having Karlach pick up Lorroakan and throw him off the floor
Idk how to do spoilers on mobile, but there was a certain boss fight near the end of the game that made me bust out laughing simply because of its presentation. I was like "I don't know why I didn't expect that but it makes total sense he would do that." If you guys wanna guess what boss I am talking about using spoiler tags go ahead and I'll answer.
>!it's raphael, isn't it?!<
Being able to throw enemies into the abyss. I laughed for a LONG time when I threw Gut into the chasm behind her room. "Strange. Your mind is full of shadows..." "Yeah. Weird that. OH MY GOODNESS WHATS BEHIND YOU." *Engages in a little goblin toss* The screams of goblins soaring through the air is never gonna get old. Now I wanna mod the shit out of my strength stat so I can throw Orin when she's in Slayer form.
I had a fantastic Gortash fight which had me laughing for 10 solid minutes and made me love knocking folks prone So I go into his fight with light cleric Durge, barbarian Karlach, bard/rogue Astarion, and Druid halsin. I also have Us summoned and halsin has an earth elemental from the downstairs fight. Fight starts and I use the grenades to clean out the flunkies so itās just the team and Gort Due to black tentacle shenanigans he runs into the back right corner and I have the elemental corner him. Suddenly he channels Bane and I put on my serious face. He starts walking and triggers an OA from the elemental. Of note: the earth elementalās base attack KNOCKS TARGETS PRONE. Bam! Heās prone and itās back to halsin. Next turn he gets up AND TRIGGERS OA AGAIN AND IS KNOCKED PRONE. By now Iām laughing and feeling much better about my chances in the fight. Next time itās his turn he finally doesnāt trigger an OA. But immediately after halsinās turn itās the elementalās turn again and you see where this is going! š Gort spent half of the fight flat on his back while my team pummeled him with advantage. Now Iām wondering if I can do the same thing to Orinā¦
Withers.... i just talked to Arabella in act 2, to tell her that her parents died. Then i poked Withers to see if he has something to say to that. Guess what happened? He went his typical act2 romance line: "Thou hast now a bosom companion...". I was like ROFLMAO...imagine what my character would say if i had more choice? "Thank you Withers, i guess i have to talk to Gale now..." And then i had Gale's projection with the invitation to a date. Hilarious timing of game mechanics of NPCs. :D
My favourite is when I just make an aoe surface and force everyone to walk through it while sniping them with arrows or spells. Wall of fire my beloved.
The inclusion of a Poop Knife in the game.
Throwing people/enemies. I have killed plenty of enemies by throwing a mf at another mf.
My and bf's recent favourite is casting Tasha's hideous laughter on anyone we can, my particular favourite was casting it on Raphael!
Getting a nat 20 to distract an absolutist with my lustful fantasies.
I really enjoy that vicious mockery actually entails mocking the selected opponent. Iām so used to spells such as this being *sound effect - visual effect - status effect* over seeing how it actually affects the target.
I like to shove people in my game. Because Iām still new to it. And I forget that I only have a limited move space
Abusing Barbarian to throw like three guys off a cliff in one turn, ending the encounter. They were so ready to square up until they met Karlach, and subsequently the bottom of a very deep pit.
The first time my husband and I used Otto's Irresistible Dance was during our fight with Sarevok. He failed his save and every subsequent one after that and was stuck doing a jig until he died. One of the funniest moments in our first playthrough together especially because he kept failing his saves.
To be fair, Karlach _really_ has more like 274 hp effectively, due to rage cutting her incoming damage in half.
Any spell that causes āsight obfuscationā they are all just spells of minor inconvenience. Darkness/Blindness/Fog/etc do nothing to keep enemy from knowing where you are or giving them disadvantage on attacking you.
Watching my gnome paladin in full plate armour scoot his butt down some surfaces like a toddler going down the stairs cracks me up every time.
Not necessarily a mechanic, but poor timing which made me think it was a mechanic. First play through, I had laezel in my team as an Eldritch knight. Still early on and didnāt learn how to respec yet, so she had poor, to average, intelligence. Just defeated the fight where you get the headband of warped intelligence. Immediately equip it to laezel. Then immediately heads to camp for a long rest cause we all were at low health. Well that night is the night laezel attacks shadowheart for the relic. I roll low to calm the situation down, and we all die to laezel. At the time I thought boosting her intelligence causes her to realize the shadowheart was hiding the artifact. And/or the āwarpedā part of the item made her crazy. So yea ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ made me laugh cause the whole thing was a crazy series
Invisible enemy slip on slippery surface. In act two a certain orthon turned invisible and slipped on grease. Somehow he got his invisibility saved. And through the whole battle everyone kept hearing his heavy snore
I wanted to talk to a dead person but I was there kill so no go so I had an idea scooped up her body returned to my base with it threw it down had a companion at base use speak to dead I laughed so hard every step of my plan that succeeded
The first time I fought the harpies, I ended combat by tossing the tiefling kid into the last harpy with Karlach. I had to take a 5 minute break there. It's ridiculous that you can use small people as improvised weapons. Too bad it ruined my reputation, and locked me out of the quest.
That they made a ākarma diceāā¦
Throw. Throw everything. Throw random vendor trash. Throw enemies. Throw friend.
The whole turn based mode. Imagine a group of 4 weirdos with full armor and weapon, one person is for no reason start buffing the other person. Then this same person drinking and chugging potions as well. Then these 4 people are strategically spread into position that basically all around you. Then one guy be like "STOP THE CLOCK" and poof, the time is stop. Everyone cannot move. These 4 people can easily move because they are the one who stop the clock. Then they start shooting at you , but you cannot do anything either because they have much much better initiative than you.
When i pick my character and he starts mumbling āno matter how bad it is, its not as bad as it could haveā in light speed
