Hello everyone. I have been continuing my 3rd playthrough of BG3, this time as "The Dark Urge". I am about 40% through Act 3. Hope everyone has had a relaxing weekend

Have you tried using a toy box mod? I only manage to deal with rtwp by either using a turn based mod or just nuking combat encounters so I can get to more of the characters and narrative.

I haven't used any mods but I know that Deadfire has a turn-based mode that I will probably use pretty heavily once I get to that. I'm not a purist by any means, but I do try to stick to modless except maybe unofficial or performance patches until I've gone through a game once. Sometimes I'll do restored content if it doesn't unbalance the rest of the game.

I'm kind of owning combat encounters a lot more than before because I have two ciphers that both have Dominate Will, which is an AoE that charms the target and enemies surrounding them. All but my two tanks also have guns, so I instakill whatever I target in the first turn with blunderbusses. I'm also better at actually using all my resources before I have to rest, because you get so much money and so many supplies that you can rest whenever you want, making conserving spells and such not really worth it at all.
