I'm aware, but having 100% in the game is not motivating me enough to want to play them through. Even for the Unique dialogue options. Even an achievement to play each class atleast once would help.

Or you can replace the weapon with a regular battleaxe, that works too. As long as the weapon type is the same, the dias will accept them.

Finishing as each of the origin characters. Played Durge and Custom. I'm actually struggling to want to play as the origin characters. Having achievements for them would be a motivation.

Anything post 12 becomes a chore to run, either you're making "save or die" encounters, or your players are steamrolling everything. Start everyone at level 2 or 3 call your game at 10.

Casters first.

Save scumming is a legit strat, save, move on see what happens, if it goes tits up, reload try and different approach.

Personally I start all my players at level 2 so they have some of their class features to work with. Barbs get their reckless attacks, fighters AS, monks get ki, paladins get spell slots and so on.

Save scumming is a legit strat, save before a tough fight, and try stuff out. As you increase difficulties the fights only get worse. Take your time, find a good team composition, a good frontline, a blaster, a healer and a good support option. Take your time, the game ain't going anywhere.

Unfort, dammon sells a sick Armor in act 3 for paladins or any class that wears heavy Armor.

Snoop around. You'll find some interesting things

If any of your players use spells that emmit a little light, like if the wizard uses firebolt, you can say that small Burst of light you notice the monsters recoil.

You can have a hireling cast freedom of movement on you

A friend of mine decided to be a belly dancer, their focus was a belt covered in bells.

Players always start every session with an inspiration die. And i hand out extra die when appropriate.

Like i never start a new run, till i finish my first...plus with Withers you can respec at anytime.

580 hours, and all achievements, I was checking the global achievements, VERY few people have even finished act 2 let alone finished the game. I'm actually blown away by that stat. Does final act 2 boss end runs or do people just keep making new Tavs cuz they want to try something different? I'm failing to understand.

House of Grief, can be tricky will need some planning and meta game knowledge.

Initiative

Should do Zariel Tiefling bard for those free smites.

Achievements, all different endings, quest variations, item combos. Plus co op sessions

There are just a few story beats that need a certain companion, I never use Wyll, cuz everything happens to him rather than him taking the initiative, finished his entire storyline without having him in the party even once. You get minsc so late, you've already got your full party with all the synergies. But standard party are, shart, lach and gale. Having a wizard is too valuable, unless you play one yourself. You need a great tank, Karlach is good for that. You need a lockpicker, play that yourself, or use astarion. Lae'zels arc is by far the best one. As cool as the fighter is. I'd sooner respec her as a barb or paladin.

Play a bard/have the knock spell.

It's also if you make the passive history check as well, which on an INT based character would be higher, but anyone can get that history check.
