[SPOILER] Am I playing Baldur's Gate wrong?
  • I think I was level 3 for the church and level 4 for the other two fights.

    party

    I mainly carry Shadow because of the Guidance and I want to try romancing her (so I can build up the approvals) but otherwise my paladin Tav can heal as well. I might try switching her for Lae'zel or Karlach.

  • [SPOILER] Am I playing Baldur's Gate wrong?

    Recently, I started my second campaign in Baldurs Gate in addition to the campaign I play with my wife in co-op. My wife and I opted for the easiest difficulty in our playthrough since neither if us ever played similar game.

    This time I felt like it would be such a breeze since I already know a bit more about the game and DnD in general. I opted for the balanced mode with my new character and started going through Act I and boy oh boy do I get wrecked almost everywhere. Multiple of my characters already died and I had to revive them.

    Characters

    Including Gale, which in turn triggered cool mini-quest to revive him, but the magic aura around his dead body killed Astarion multiple times.

    I feel very scared going into each combat and trying to plan as much in advance as possible (keep in mind I mostly know what awaits me there, because I've gone through Act I already).

    Where I got wrecked

    I got wrecked at the church before you get to Whithers, I got wrecked by the hyenas and gnolls by the caravan road, I got absolutly wrecked by the Paladins of Tar and

    I just don't know what am I doing wrong.

    My party

    I play as high elf paladin and most of my encounters so far I've had Astarion, Gale, and Shadow in my party. I feel like the only actually useful member is Astarion. I probably don't know how to utilize Gale well enough and my Tav paladin just feels like a paper-thin wall between the enemy and the rest of the party.

    Are these early encounters in Act I intentionally challenging so that the game "force-teaches" you to utilize everything at your disposal and will it get easier later on or am I just on the wrong path with my character and my party? Honestly, I can't imagine going through the goblin camp in this state.

    Needing some help to get started running.
  • I started running with an app called Runna. It has a beginner training plan you can customize to your liking, such as how many times a week you want to run and on what days.

    It will then guide you on each run with how long, how fast, and how far you should run and gradually build you towards 5k over a course of 8 weeks.

    I loved it that it gave me pacing to not overdo it at the beginning but also pushed me for more when I needed it.

    I always put it in my earphones just by itself and it would give me instructions such as “next 5 minutes run in conversational pace” and then time it and give me next instruction.

    Also each run gives you time estimate and distance estimate so you can choose your route accordingly.

  • Here in Czechia we call them houskový knedlík and we don’t fry them at all.

    And I would say it is most typically served with svíčková na smetaně and other sauce based dishes (we have so many!) but it is also one of the usual sides for gulash.
