Going to do something wild with a new playthrough in BG3.
I am going to be the OoA Paladin.
Will respec the companions:
Shadowheart > Valor Bard
Astarion > Lore Bard
Gale > Swords Bard
Fun fun fun.
Bit 167 hours devoted, and I have never completed Act 1.

Looks as though I might be going Oathbreaker, hehe.

Gave myself Shadowheart's outfit, because it seems to be the only decent looking clothing in Act One. Put a sexy looking destitute-type outfit on Astarion.
I always thought it silly to get the best stuff at the end of the game when there is little playtime left to enjoy it.

Made it to the underdark for the first time. But I should probably finish freeing the Grove first.
Leveling up seems really hard after level three, though.

Messed up and could not kill Mithra, because I was at the wrong bridge and did not have a proper save file to go backward. So killing the other two goblin leaders counted for nothing. Grrr.
Still going to side with the Grove when she comes to attack.

Made a mistake and had to restart the game, which is why I dislike there not yet being a proper game progress guide to inform you what to do first along your journey.
When I failed to kill Mithra, I was able to live with it. I knew that I could kill her at the Grove. When I failed to save the refugees as a result, I was also fine having failed there. But when Halsin appeared at the Grove without me having gotten to save him yet, I was mad. I just figured the goblin camp would still be in business and I could save him after rescuing the Grove.
Oh, well, back to the beginning.
The bard party was fun, but I am changing it up again.
Me: Lore Bard
Shadowheart: War Cleric
Lae'zel: Oath of the Ancients Paladin
Karlach: Oath of the Ancients Paladin
No magic caster this time around since none of them do any real damage to multiple enemies. And I want to see if either of the companions will break their oaths.

Guess I will try out this guide.
Inverse
Will need to find another guide later for Act Two.

It is really weird how I can reach level three before even reaching the grove. But completing almost everything else on the map barely gets me to level four.

Did a respec. Edit
Shadowheart: the name seems more fitting for a Warlock Fiend.
Lae'zel: back to Fighter.
Karlach: OoA Paladin.
