[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9115437, member: 6879661"] There is a long and storied tradition of running the original BG series’ as a single character without any companions for your second or third (or twelfth) run through. The companions quests are fun and there is a lot linked to them but BG3 is such a huge game there is a lot to enjoy outside of these. Plus once you’ve ran through a companion quest once or twice how many times does it still remain fun. The only rule to play this way is to have no companions. You just run with your lonely self. Otherwise everything is on the table. Now unfortunately with BG3 XP isn’t split between the party - everyone levels at the same time - so there is no mechanical benefit to running by yourself. There is also a level 12 XP cap. This could make the game pretty darn hard - if not impossible on anything bar story mode. One option I have seen is to use two mods made by the same guy. Fast Level To 6 which means you accelerate the first six levels only, so you leave the beach area at level 6. Secondly there is an level cap remover which means you can level to 20 as long as you multiclass and don’t take a character past level 11 in any single class (level 12 has to be the last level take). This same mod also doubles experience simulating the XP boost from not sharing with others. The mod maker assumes you can get to approx level 18 or 19 with this method. [URL='https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/570']Level 20 (Multiclass)[/URL] How would you solo play through? What areas would you need to cheese? What items would you use? Which classes/subclasses would you pick in what order? [Edit] I’ve updated the thread to + to avoid debates about whether talking about soloing a game designed for four characters is in someway offensive. Also I’ve removed the Fast levelling mod link as I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work. Level 20 with x2 XP does work. [/QUOTE]
