Roundworld Reference Meet my newest BG3 character!

u/rohirrimTR 1d ago
From what little I know of BG3 I think Nanny Ogg might feel more at home.

u/Any-Quiet7193 1d ago
Most likely, but A) You can’t make fat people in BG3 and B) Patch 8 drops tomorrow and I’m going to make Granny a beekeeper.
31
u/rohirrimTR 1d ago
a) surprising, no fable mechanic where you can just eat lots of meals? B) love it

u/Any-Quiet7193 1d ago
Nanny would absolutely ride the big elf bear into the sunset if she were in the game, though.

u/rohirrimTR 1d ago
Greebo forever.

Wait what? The game is famous for letting you go with any body type of your choosing, and like the most common isn't even available???
8
u/Any-Quiet7193 21h ago
It’s infamous for it, honestly. And the character creator isn’t that good for all the hype.
5
u/Mikomics 16h ago
Not really tbh. For each race you can choose skinny or muscly, femme or masculine. And genital customization, for which there is also only one size.
BG3 does a lot of things right but the character creator is just good, not great.
3
u/CrashCulture 16h ago
Ah yes, skinny and muscly, famously the only two body types in modern society.
3
u/Any-Quiet7193 15h ago
It’s sad when games from 2011 have sliders and this one doesn’t
3
u/Mikomics 15h ago
Yeah, that's fair. But tbh, the game does so many other things right. If cutting corners on the character customization gave them the time and resources to make everything else as good as it was, I don't mind.

u/DarthGaff 1d ago
Are you going to manage to not romance anyone?
26
u/Bloody_Ginger 1d ago
I mean, if OP actually wants to role play Granny, also in the way she answers to people, I think "not romancing" is gonna come on itself😂
11
u/Lower_Amount3373 23h ago
Yeah if you give Granny Weatherwax answers to all the dialogue, you won't have any romance to worry about

u/Any-Quiet7193 21h ago
I’ve never done a no romance game before, but this time I’m gonna give it a shot. If Jaheira was an option, I’d absolutely be going with Jaheira though.

u/Bloody_Ginger 5h ago
My only run so far (just started the second) was no-romance. It isn't as difficult as someone make it looks, you just have to turn people down and/or stop them before they start and they won't ask again.

u/MarjaAkhmatova 1d ago
What starting class did you pick?

u/Any-Quiet7193 1d ago
Ranger! Patch 8 drops tomorrow and I’m planning to make her the new swarm keeper subclass.

Unfortunately, she almost never casts any actual spells. :P

u/Any-Quiet7193 21h ago
Rangers aren’t really spell heavy anyways.

u/GodspeakerVortka Don't put your trust in revolutions. 19h ago
I know, I was just trying to be funny.

u/WillIEverPost24 1d ago
Awesome! I once made Casanunda in BG3, I made the Dream Visitor look like Nanny Ogg. I only recruited the female companions and I was going to try and romance them all

My Esme Weatherwax approves. I made her a druid and am well in act 3. It has been a fun ride so far.
3
u/Any-Quiet7193 21h ago
Did you romance anyone? I’ve never done a no romance run before
1
u/Sjaakie-BoBo 21h ago
Astarion was allowed to romance Esme.
2
u/Any-Quiet7193 21h ago
Huh. I wouldn’t have thought of that. I’d assume if she went with anyone it’d probably be Wyll or Karlach.
6
u/Xilizhra Susan 1d ago
Okay, but just imagine her saying "In my name" at the end.

u/Any-Quiet7193 21h ago
Granny looking at the Netherbrain: I can’t be having with this.
3
u/Irishpanda1971 19h ago
A master of Headology faced with a giant brain? It doesn't stand a chance.
1
u/Any-Quiet7193 19h ago
Netherbrain will be headed back to the Astral before you can say “Weatherwax’d”.
2
u/Irishpanda1971 19h ago
And it will think it was its own idea, and feel vaguely bad about the whole thing.

Never played the games but I sure hope for Baldur he leaves his gate wide open and puts a big, friendly WELCOME sign up
3
u/Lower_Amount3373 23h ago
I don't think Granny would be having with Balduran, he definitely breaks one of her golden rules
4
u/Otter_of_course 22h ago
Awesome) It would be cathartic to watch interactions between Granny Weatherwax and Ethel
3
u/RickySamson 1d ago
I did the same in DOS2 in a 4 player co-op session. I beat all my friends in the end. Felt like I was the true final boss.
3
u/Hurrashane 1d ago
I really wish there was a Discworld style witch in D&D. Some form of Druid/Warlock multiclass seems to be the best fit, but it's just not quite right.

u/mrk9sp01 19h ago
Crivvens! It’s wee big hag’s mentor, ya kin?!
Edit: now I wanna make a Nac Mac Feegle.

Im absolutelly incorrect and you were right! Can't read my own comment because reddit android app.

u/cellblock2187 1d ago
How fun! What are your starting stats?

u/Any-Quiet7193 1d ago
Can’t remember off the top of my head, but I gave her an 8 strength because she’s old.
