Hello to my fellow Americans, hope you are making the most of your long weekend. I finished my BG3 playthrough as "The Dark Urge". I think the Urge origin character is a very fun playthrough, and enhances the story a bit because now your character is intertwined with the main villians, rather than just some guy who happened to also be on the Nautaloid. I also used this playthrough to experiment with different playstyles, and I gotta say, having 2 paladins in your party is OP. Hope everyone is having a safe weekend
i would say for malenia it's better to not rush. I think with a lot of elden ring bosses they train you to DPS race the boss and malenia's heal mechanic I think is there to bait you into thinking it's a DPS race. But it's actually better to learn her moveset that is relatively limited and predictable and chip her down.
i think a lot of elden ring bosses, especially melania and the dlc bosses, are showing cracks in the dodge, dive, dip, duck, and dodge playstyle. The next from game will have perfect parry/blocking like sekiro and lies of p, there's no other way forward.
