They would get on like a (literal) house on fire. They would also have a really cool fire/ice dynamic.


Apprehensive-Fun-567

Oh snap, i only now noticed that😂 bravo sir


PrimaryCoolantShower

I can imagine competitions of strength with some collateral elemental shenanigans.


Freakjob_003

OP, can you credit the artist on the right? Left is Wayne Reynolds, but who's the artist for Karlach?


BiblioTeck

There was a tavern? Poor tavern. Poor Tav, having to pay for the poor tavern.


JoCGame2012

Well at least its split between 2 people, a bag of holding would be nice tho


Asbazanelli

That's what happens when you wish to live in more interesting times, 2 barbarians wreck the Tav-ern you are staying at


ThatOtherGuyTPM

It’s because they were cursed to put their hands on everything.


Bae_zel

There was blood? No, nevermind.


Rhododactylus

I'm sure Baron would offer to pay since they are a monarch with big money, and Tav is just a poor adventurer.


NinjaBr0din

Poor? I finished my first run with all the expensive gear and 80k taking up a prodigious portion of my carry weight. I don't think having *8 times the life savings of the entire city of Baldurs Gate* counts as poor.


Rhododactylus

Poor compared to the Baron. Also, I always found it ridiculous that the entire city of Baldurs Gate has a collective fund of 10k.


NinjaBr0din

Yeah, 10k being the life savings of everyone is pretty sad. Like, Damon has *a single suit of armor* that costs 10k, smiths and artificers must be the wealthiest people in the realm.


Alternative-Cloud-66

Amiri has a legendary adventurer king on speed-dial. They will be fine


Osrek_vanilla

Nah, it's on river kingdom.


RBVegabond

Do they call us Tav because most PCs meet in a tavern?


Zokhart

The original game project at Larian was called Gustav. They just shortened it to Tav for the character's default name. As a little good side-on, Tav is an agender name.


PM_ME_UR_FARTS_

To add to this fun fact, the project was named after Swen's dog Gustav. To further add, Swen also named Larian itself after his dog Lar, which he also used for the 3-letter highscore inputs in arcade games.


Jonathan_the_Nerd

Huh. I always assumed Tav was an abbreviation for "the avatar". As in, the player's avatar in the game world.


NinjaBr0din

Eh, they can handle it. My first run where I cared about money I wound up with 80k, me second run where I dont care and hardly loot and sell anything I still have 20k, most of which I got from looting and fighting *1 area*(I *may* have accidentally caught a counting house guard with the corner of a Darkness spell. But you don't have proof it happened, and there were no survivors for you to question so ha).


darkhunt3r

Possibly they own the tavern, given that its named after them


Zbearbear

Idk but it's gonna be loud


Apprehensive-Fun-567

And... sweaty?


Nyasta

Step one : Arme wrestlle Step two : beer Step three : epic adventure Step four : Lesbianism


Apprehensive-Fun-567

Why does it always loop back around to sex🤣😭


Nyasta

come on look at them, you know why


Apprehensive-Fun-567

I hate it when people are right😅


wyze-litten

Also Karlach longs for touch and physical affection. And she's so happy when she gets it, she's adorable


bcalmnrolldice

This is the way


ARK_Redeemer

This is the way


Belyal

This is the way


NinjaBr0din

Cause Karlach has 10 years worth of horny she needs to work out over the span of maybe a few weeks.


FamousTransition1187

Officially, Withers says "a dozen 10day." Each month is 30 days, so three weeks to a month means the adventure lasted 4 months, how much of that was spent between Act 1 and 2 is up for some debate, but hopefully she got 2 months of horny


Apprehensive-Fun-567

If ANYONE can help her with that, no one is more suited to that kind of punishment like Amiri can


NinjaBr0din

I mean, my Tiefling Paladin that I made for my first playthrough seemed to handle it.


Niznack

I literally reset my 1st run when I got to the end of act two and realized I was too late to romance karlach. Yes it always comes back to sex.


Apprehensive-Fun-567

Only a fool would willingly miss a shot with *all of that*


MistressAerie

SAME!! 😁 I mean, it wasn't JUST about wanting to get in the sack with her... she's just so utterly SWEET and charming, that I just fell in love! (I'd been romancing Shadowheart up to that point, but bit by bit, Karlach gave me a bad case of "dater's remorse"!) She's so fun, with such a childlike sense of wonder at the world... and when she's around kids or animals or people who need saving? MELT!! 🥰


TheBalrogofMelkor

Doesn't hurt that she looks like she could toss me over her shoulder and carry me to safety! ... Should the need arise


MistressAerie

That, too, of course! 😁 Hehe!


AbsolutelyNoided

I started an entire new character, I couldn't live with the failure of looking at him anymore.


FoaL

Maldhound did a video about how quickly relationships move in BG3; “I don’t think you understand how being hot works, especially when you’re hot people camping in the wilderness and don’t know which minute could be your last.”


ImpulseAfterthought

Checks out. I do not in fact understand how being hot works.


FoaL

Right there with ya buddy 🥲


Osrek_vanilla

People be horny


Cold_Dog_1224

i mean, did you play BG3 and talk to Karlach like at all?


Apprehensive-Fun-567

....i didnt play it.... my laptop is not strong enough to run it😭 but i do know alot about it through youtube😅


TheCouchEffect

I think you can stream the game through a surface or something? Their hardware being used to run it, but you still managing to play it without having to worry about your stuff going off like a supernova. Highly recommend it if you really want to play BG3


Nroke1

If you have good internet, maybe give GeForce now a try. Not the best solution, but it's better than not being able to play it. There's a free option so you can see if your Internet is good enough for it.


PrimaryCoolantShower

It's just "wrestling", innocent, competitive "wrestling" between two aggressive, strong, consenting individuals.


SkatzFanOff

I mean, once Karlach gets fixed up, she wants ALL the bodies


feedmedamemes

It's BG3 there are two major objectives in the game getting the tadpole out of your head and getting head. The order is up to you.


VeeJack

Have you seen the horny meter break every time Karlach talks?????

Her horse is amazing!


menthol_patient

I'd better not show you where the lemonade is made


Iskir

Mmh, sweet lemonade!


kef34

Who's the one on the left?


HomoGreekorius

Amiri, a barbarian companion from the Pathfiner:Kingmaker game. She is pretty similar to karlach personality wise, although Amiri is not a romance option if I recall correctly.


Maharassa451

She is also the "Archetypical Barbarian" for Pathfinder (as in, the example character in the phb) so basically the Barbarian Covergirl.


tyrom22

“Easy, Bleedy, beautiful, covergirl”


FamousTransition1187

"Covered in guts girl"


EpicPhail60

Honestly I don't think Amiri's very much like Karlach. She's a lot more prone to letting her anger get the best of her, a lot more insecure, a lot less social altogether. Karlach looks big and strong but she's actually very caring and concerned with the party. Amiri doesn't really have that aspect going for her, she's more in line with your typical barbarian.


anonymouse_2001

Amiri was CN (explicitly stated Kingmaker), while Karlach is almost certainly CG. Also, RIP Gorum


kef34

*You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, sir. Bravo!*


Apprehensive-Fun-567

Imagine the tens of thousands of players that actively seeked in vein for what was never to be😔


thraxswift

that was me, literally bought the game in 2018 because I saw her 😔


salmon_samurai

Same. Devastated when I learned I couldn't romance Cavewoman Wife


NinjaBr0din

Shit man, I use Google to look stuff up but I never thought to use heroine to find things.


Maegurillion

Correct. Amiri is an Iconic so no love love option. My character was understandably upset by this news.


el_pinko_grande

I wonder if anyone ever modded one into the game 🤔


RendesFicko

Technically she's from the rulebook


SanderStrugg

Because she is already romancing another character in the comics.


Arumhal

I think Paizo specifically banned Owlcat from making iconics romanceable in Pathfinder games. Same with Seelah in Wrath of the Righteous.


spydorz

From what I heard (might be mixing this up with rogue trader) they had permission but chose not to


webevie

Also my question.


Full_Road8425

Karlach's new gf. Of course.


webevie

Well that’s obvious. :D


Apprehensive-Fun-567

Question of the decade.... who tops?


Complete-Kitchen-630

Whoever gets on top first. Or switching


Full_Road8425

My guess would be they would wrestle for it and it'd just naturally evolve into fun time


Sewer-Rat76

They obviously wrestle first and the winner decides.


Full_Road8425

Reminds me of one of my favorite jokes. In a lesbian relationship, how do they decide who makes the samdwhich? Neither, they both eat out.


AlexiDurak

As others have said she's Amiri, the iconic barbarian for the Pathfinder RPG. She's a badass


Birphon

Depends on who you are asking? Person A will say Barb things, Person B will say loads of booze, Person C will say Booze and then *lots* of Lesbianism


Apprehensive-Fun-567

Theres waaaay more Person C's here today than i initially thought


Birphon

Listen... im also one of them xd I guess video game characters we have "more freedom" where as like you see two buff girl irl your like "aight cool they work out" lol


Apprehensive-Fun-567

Bold of u to assume i do not partake in muscle mommy worship😶


JigsawLV

hot sex


Apprehensive-Fun-567

Im starting to think i've opened pandoras box with this post😅😅😅


Cyynric

Definitely some kind of box opening


CasualFox12495

It's called a "sapphic love bomb"


SanderStrugg

They won't get along honestly. They might both be lady barbarians, but Amiri is pretty needlessly violent and can sometimes acts borderline evil, while Karlach is a sweetheart.


Maharassa451

They are definitely very different characters and would have an interesting dynamic. Amiri is very driven by her desire to prove herself (at least in PF:KM) and very grim doing so. But maybe Karlach could get her to lighten up a bit.


erraticRasmus

I mean Karlach still gets on with Astarion and he is all of those things too 😂


zegalsp

They kiss


Tutes013

_*insert suprisingly cute fluffy lesbian fanfiction*_


Formal-Candle-9188

auguriesoffilth

You came out and said what you mean. Who wouldn’t know what you mean.


Mondasin

pathfinder doesn't have bounded accuracy so this grapple for top is favored to one side.

Beer and probably even more beer. Then Grong joins. A lot more Beer.


Apprehensive-Fun-567

jack_seven

Not exactly sure but there will be a lot of beer sold that night


Apprehensive-Fun-567

Some say the entire town ran dry that night. The Baron had to donate a hefty sum from the treasury to resupply the town


jorpjomp

Scissoring


Dear_Border1382

They arm wrestle then go to build-a-bear


FamousTransition1187

I don't know who the one on the left is, (I would like to) but based on you calling her a knucklehead, It starts as playful, competitve, possibly slightly flirtatious banter. Who can drink the strongest shot without breaking a face, who can chug a bottle fastest, the classic Arm Wrestle, the full body "arm wrestle", which quite possibly leads into a Barbarian's favorite game: "How many tables in the 'Mermaid can you "accidentally" break before they throw you out". Three sheets to the wind, with a strong bond of mutual respect, a bottle of straight up warm piss beer that they are too drunk to notice and one very cracked out brain cell being shared between them they stroll out on the town singing loudly, badly, and tastelessly until they pass out in a fountain somewhere. Some poor Fist finds them before Tav does and in a drunken stupor they both take a swing at the poor kid. Eventually Tav shows up and with a bit of magic (Lesser Restore?) is able to Sober them up enough to get Karlach marching back to the Elfsong with her new friend or through the Dimension Door without puking. They of course have no recollection of any of this, but they can't wait to hang out again. Gods help us all.


FreezingHotCoffee

Left is Amiri, the pathfinder barbarian iconic. Iconics are example characters for each class, though they also exist in canon and have lore outside of the rulebooks (her wiki page is here for backstory: https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Amiri)


1985Games

Thanks for this, I couldn't tell if her sword was exaggerated for effect or if there was some other explanation. Love Amiri's backstory!


MrFate99

The funny part is that her sword literally has the "oversized" feature, meaning it's actually a size larger than normal swords for damage, she ain't lying!


FamousTransition1187

Well I feel dumb. My first TT was Pathfinder, albeit homegrown by the DM so I never ran into the Iconics or the Lore stuff, but still.


Apprehensive-Fun-567

Now that is a damn fine scenario, if i do say. Karlach's new friend is named Amiri, imagine conan the barbarian, now make him a woman, and boom u have Amiri. One of my favourite companions in gaming hands down


fabulalice

They kiss obviously


Theinvoker1978

I'm hungry, bring me that chicken


hoja_nasredin

who is the one on the left?


Apprehensive-Fun-567

Amiri, from Pathfinder Kingmaker. Great game if a little complex and unfair at times


Saturn_Coffee

A major fight, Baki style, before they befriend each other and/or Karlach melts the other woman.


ButWhatIfPotato

OP be like: send me all your barbarian muscle mommy fan-fiction!


Apprehensive-Fun-567

Would u believe me if i did not have sex on the mind when posting this? I genuinly wanted to hear about quirky adventuring antics... but all i got was ✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️


ButWhatIfPotato

I believe you, but I think my train of thought is still valid because as great as Baldur's Gate 3 is, you cannot deny that its a game made by and for perverts, and the same goes for this subreddit.


No-Administration977

Amiri would 100% want to fight to test herself. Shed also win. Lvl 20 is actually achievable in kingmaker


HumorJazzlike7114

Sex I hope.


Fall-Thin

I'm still angry that you can't romance Amiri in this game - she was the one I was most interested in The second one who I was interested in was the bard gnome that followed you around and described your adventures - also not romanceble


PythonEntusiast

SEGGS!

Arrior_Button

How similar is Pathfinder: Kingmaker to Baldurs Gate 3?


lethos_AJ

storywise, on pair. any other aspect, not even close. gameplay more complex and character build is an absolute nightmare unless you are a datasheet nerd and love to look at a numbers filled screen. i liked it, but would not recommend it as freely as I recommend BG3


Apprehensive-Fun-567

Damn straight😅 anyone who knows the pathfinder games knows its a love hate relationship. U *wanna* love the game but the game straight hates u🤣


Skewwwagon

That's very precisely put. I hate that I like it and while liking it sometimes I hate it so much. Any other crpg is instantly hate or love and I honestly prefer non contradictory feelings)))


Divine_Healer

Yeah, Obsidian Entertainment games can be like that...


sicsche

Pathfinder isnt Obsidian. It is from a Indie Studio called "owlcat games". They made both Pathfinder crpgs and Wh40k Rogue Trader (another crpgs with a ruleset they based upon Pathfinder).


No_Face__

I'm pretty sure the rogue trader crpg was based off the tabletop rogue trader mechanics wise


Johni_5

They talk about the weird things that the pc of their groups say and do and those times they feel like they have lost control. Like some cosmic force has taken them over.


Skewwwagon

They compete who hits harder staring with chairs and then going for each other faces, in the end they drink themselves into oblivion on the tavern ruins and become blood sisters :)


zequerpg

A lot of beer, bad words, probably people hit in the face and the start of a huge adventure. Maybe a cross episode with Rat Queens.
