When words are stronger than weapons
While many players in Baldur’s Gate 3 generally rely on their combat skills and spells to carve their way through the adventure, there is also another way – the power of words. With a high charisma score, especially when playing as a bard, you can literally talk tough opponents to death with your words.
A player named legomanicc89 reports on Reddit about his experiences in the second act of the game. In his first playthrough, the player created a wizard and talked to almost everyone he met in Faerûn. Yet, almost every encounter with a boss led to a fight.
But in the second playthrough with a School of Lore Bard
, a completely different dynamic revealed itself. As a bard, you get many special dialogue options and significant bonuses on charisma-based rolls, making it nearly impossible to fail.
In the second act of the game, he achieved impressive successes with this. He convinced the customs officer (the golden woman) that she does not have to collect customs anymore. Then, according to legomanicc89, she simply fell over dead. But this was only the beginning of his persuasive escapades.
He also visited a tavern and pretended to drink with the bartender while telling him stories of his adventures. This led to the bartender literally exploding – a bizarre yet entertaining result.
legomanicc89 praises Baldur’s Gate 3 for its creative options: Skipped three tough battles completely because my tav is a charismatic bastard. This game is amazing.
Which classes also have high charisma? The classes wizard, sorcerer, and paladin are also based on charisma and are suitable for outsmarting certain bosses with rhetoric – without fighting.
Overall, he was able to skip three challenging battles during this playthrough of the game thanks to his high charisma. This unusual approach shows that Baldur’s Gate 3 offers countless ways to tackle challenges, and violence does not always have to be the only solution.
