Still in Act 1, in the shadowlands, and I'm at level 7. I'm curious what if anything separates the "Acts" thematically or event-wise because I can't imagine 2 and 3 are nearly as long as 1 with a game level cap of 12.

Act 3 is about as long as act 1 if not longer. You spend a lot of time at max level, I think Larian was very intentionally trying to avoid the problem of your build being finished but the game ending before you can enjoy it.

dang that does sound way more powerful than a feat. haven't really touched warlock at all but can you make weapons you find into pact weapons and they keep their extra stuff? from the gith creche i've got the blood of lathander so i don't know if it would lose it's abilities when you make it a pact weapon

Yeah you can turn any weapon into a pact weapon, and it retains all its attributes. Pact weapon is basically a weapon buff that lasts until long rest.

He is starting Paladin so you are talking about level 9-10 which is straight up like the end of the game, by then you were going to be dumping STR anyway since you have an unlimited supply of potions of giant strength by then. I just don't think a better cantrip and using CHA on hit is worth having straight up 1/4th the spell slots, a worse spell list (although to be fair hunger of hadar is so good it could be argued that alone makes warlock spell list on par with sorc), and most importantly, no meta magic. If Eldritch invocations weren't so bad/few or if the darkness devil sight combo worked I would be all for Lockadin but right now if it wasn't for that 3 attack glitch they just don't offer much for pally that sorc doesn't.

Now if you are starting Warlock then yeah I think going Paladin is their best multi is probably your best bet.

You hit 9-10 about halfway through the game, and you spend a ton of time at max level though. You'll hit lvl 12 very early into act 3 and act 3 can last anywhere from 20-40 hours. Sure, you can use hill giant potions and dump str if you want to but not everyone wants to fuss with that. Like I said I prefer sorcadin as well, but lockadin does have value outside of the 3 attack glitch. If you don't feel like it's as good of value as sorcadin that's totally fair but others might feel differently.

Why does he need to attack with CHA if he is starting paladin? Sorcadin is just better if you want to multiclass with a caster from Paladin. Lockadin is only popular because of the glitch. Devil Sight+Darkness not working and the general shittiness of eldritch invocations is also a bit hit to Lockadin in the 5e to BG3 transition.

You can respec you char and their stats any time you like. Which means once they hit lvl 3 lock they can respec and dump both str and dex and focus solely on cha, con and wis. This turns pally from a MAD to a SAD class which is nice. They also can use warlock spell slots for smites and those recharge on short rest, and finally they'll get eldritch blast for those situations when you need to attack from range.

I like sorcadin more than lockadin as well, but lockadin has value beyond the extra attack glitch. Also warlock has a lot of flavor RP wise. Making a pact with some powerful patron so you can pally harder is fucking dope.

if you go 7/5 or 6/6 aren't you losing out on the feat at 8? i've only just gotten to level 7 on my paladin and it would be weird to be that close to a feat, unless there's something at 5 or 6 warlock that would beat it

You are, but currently there is a bug that lets you stack the extra attack you get from pally and the extra attack you get from warlock pact of the blade, which lets you make 3 attacks per round. That is far, far better than any feat you can take. If and when this bug gets fixed you might consider going 8/4 pally lock depending on if you value the feat more than you do lvl 3 lock spells.

When would be a good time to multiclass?

Get to pally 6 first. That gives you your extra attack and aura that lets you apply your cha bonus to all saving throws. From there you can go to pally 7 if you want their next aura (good for oath of ancients and oath breakers, so so for devotion and veng) or you can start taking lock levels. Basically you either go 7/5 pally lock or 6/6 pally lock.

dump the rest of your points into con and that is a pretty standard pally build yeah. I would multiclass Warlock only if you are want to lean more caster or you are wanting to abuse a glitch.

Warlock also lets you attack with cha if you go pact of the blade, and then you also get warlock spell slots to smite with. Even if they fix the extra attack stacking bug Lockadin is still a good combo.

Anyway I wouldn't multi until you hit at least lvl 6 since you want your extra attack and CHA modifier to saving throws. Once you hit 6 you can either go to pally 7 lock 5 or pally 6 lock 6. Take pact of the blade so you can attack with cha. Respec you stats so that you max cha then con and wis then str or dex and dump int.

so is there a point where if you use too many tadpoles you have no choice about accepting the partial morph? I had to reload a few times with The Emperor because only one option let me get out of it.

I've used 10 so far, but I just looted 3 more in one spot and kinda want to get Cull the Weak. plus I haven't googled the outer ring of abilites so I have no idea how good those might be

I had a character where I unlocked every single tadpole power that was available and was able to refuse becoming a half illithid, I did have to pass a speech check ( I think it was wis?) though.

The powers are a mixed bag, some are quite good, others are more situational. There is an interesting choice to be made if you want to load one char with all the tadpole powers to make use of the cull the weak power (If you bring an enemy to an HP value that is lower than the amount of powers you've unlocked, they instantly die), or if you want to spread them around your party members.

Spoilers on the consequences of tadpole use

There isn't any. The game doesn't even acknowledge you never even unlocking the tadpole skill tree UI, and the dialogue you'll get treats you as if you're using the powers even if you're not. I can confirm this firsthand since I've done a run where I used a tadpole every time I could, and a run were I never used it once and never unlocked the UI. The only reason not to use the tadpole powers is if you're deeply committed to your head cannon RP, otherwise you just miss out on extra gameplay.

i think the trickery domain isn't that good in BG3. the duplicate can be targeted and destroyed easily, and i think can't move. it never stays alive long enough because it gets targeted by everyone and downed quickly, since it has to be pretty close to the enemies. i respec'd shadowheart into tempest since i found a bunch of electricity equipment and so far she's been pretty good

Yeah apparently trickery is great in table top but didn't translate super well into BG3. That said, clerics still have war, tempest, and light domains which are all great. And even their less powerful domains can still use spirit guardians.

I mean he still has a human mind with more animalistic urges but even so, he's consenting in his human form with his wits intact. You're not seducing a bear, you're seducing halsin who can turn into a bear.

Right, he initially gives you consent, but it's debatable whether he can maintain active and enthusiastic consent while a bear. But again that's going full ceman debate mode. I'm personally not offended by the whole Halsin scene.

Its not presented as a serious thing.

There's a druid character named Halsin who you can romance. If you romance him you get a cutscene where you kiss and he gets overcome with emotion and turns into a bear and he's like my bad. You then get an option to tell him to change back or stay as the bear.

If you stay as the bear your character says a funny line and it cuts to a squirrel looking shocked. Its all presented as a joke.

So if you wanted to go full redditor you could argue that in his bear form he doesn't have full control of his mental faculties. (he mentions this when you first meet him) and thus while he consents initially he cannot maintain that consent as a bear, but like i said that's going full redditor/ceman argument mode.

Give it time. I'm starting to see some growing backlash against the sex and generally how eager the companions are on the bg3 subreddit. Game journos will start to pick up on that soon I'm sure.

In my opinion it seems like there is just a general sex negative sentiment among gamers/geek culture right now. Wonder if it has anything with gen z coming of age and them being generally less sexually active overall and wanting that reflected in their media.
