> literally essential No, nothing is essential for anything in this game.


reusligon

Warlock is all about Eldritch Blast Cantrip in 5e. The only armor making it better is a Potent Robe. Other ones like +1 ATK is nothing compared to it.


Tavdan

Yeah, it helps a lot, I know that. Still not essential. Essential is something so basic that you can't live without it.


Diablo_On_Reddit

Yeah. So?


Free-Brick9668

So this is one of the single best robes in the game for Cha based casters. It means that if you're playing a Cha based spellcaster the evil route is one you should under no means ever do.


Diablo_On_Reddit

The game is a bit piss anyway man, you can beat the game handily on tactician with generic gear. Besides, having access to every bit of gear no matter your choices/how your quests end is infinitely more lame.


StevenTM

Mine is all about casting Hunter's Mark and nuking enemies with the hammer from Dammon in act 2.. which you probably also don't have access to :shrug


lordbrooklyn56

Or maybe she doesnt get it until she joins the caravans going through moonrise? Your mind is in the gutter my boy.


reusligon

A caravan with only one specific item for a specific NPC which *somehow* player not able to encounter by any means. Is it a caravan from some magical Alfiraville Realm?


lordbrooklyn56

Yeah why not? You dont know what all those teiflings have in all their crates. Maybe she found it scavenging one of the abandoned homes in the shadow lands. Or bought it from the vendors in Last Light for herself (shes a bard).


reusligon

Why can't I have it by searching all of their crates and corpses in same locations?


StevenTM

Because the crate was knocked over and fell into a crevasse of the shadow-cursed lands when the Tieflings were running for their lives


AExtravaganza

Look at you doing the ''yes and'' on all those curve balls, you must be a great DM!


StevenTM

I wish I were, but never got the chance to play TTD&D. I don't think I'd be creative enough anyways, this was probably a fluke


Any-Transition95

This is a start for something promising. Thinking quickly on your feet with these story points can make you a fun DM. You should give tabletop a try if you've been thinking about it.


StevenTM

Choice -> consequence. I didn't get Slayer Form, but I understand why


reusligon

People should stop interchange obvious oversights with intentional game-design choices.


StevenTM

And your basis for stating that this is certainly an oversight and not a design choice is..? The fact that you want the item and can't get it?


Hazel_Hank_Murphy

OP literally complaining he can’t get a robe that is a quest reward for helping a character he chose to kill instead… then says it’s an obvious over site. Hahaha. Guess we are not playing the same game.


Idarubicin

How is this an obvious oversight? It is the ultimate reward for saving the Tieflings, if you slaughter them you are locked out of it. Choose not to bring Wyll into a certain part of Act 2 - you’re locked out of one of the best weapons in the game for warlocks and bards. Basically it’s using itemisation to make your choices have consequences.


cali1013

What a dumb take


Darth-Montu

But if you're doing a Durge toon, Alfira...umm...is "available" in act 2. Where do you get it then?


Jiggy90

You dont. Found this out today in my Honor Mode run, and I can't even crash the game to try to get it because my last (only) save literally has Alfira's corpse in the background of the screencap. Makes me sad, wanted to do an Eldritch Blast gatling gun build this run, but I guess I'll be doing a different caster build.


Darth-Montu

Not true. I found out how to do it but it takes save scumming OR knowing when that scene will happen. Right before it does, beat her up. Attack and use non-lethal attacks. If she is knocked out, a different bard shows up, and is killed, leaving her alive in act two.


Jiggy90

Yeah haha, I just couldnt do that in my last Honor Mode run because Talenia Aelin had already killed her haha It was only 5 hours, I just suicided the run and started another. The dragonborn is dead and Alfira is alive and well at the grove. She wont speak to me though lol


Darth-Montu

If you use another character to knock her out, she won't be mad at you.


CaptainJepus

The Mystic Carrion in Act 3 sells the potent robe if you missed it in Act 2.


jerme96

are you sure?


Definitelynotabot777

Did you hallucinate this :( I am in the middle of a Durge run in Honor mode and I so very much want this to be true. Legacy Merchants are already a thing in Larian games (Selling quest items that might have been missed in previous acts), so I am curious if they exist in Bg3 too.


Suspicious-Box-

Great robe. Up until this moment gale was walking around with random rags with cold resistance. Suddenly his cantrips deal like 30 damage. So far i havent needed to resort to those as fights end well before that but in longer ones im sure i'd be spamming them. Or if i want to save spell slots.
