I did a book collection run once. Collect as many unique books as possible in a single run. I got about 94% of the books in the game, which is as many as I think you can get in a single run. The remaining 6% is locked behind story branches that would eat into the 94% I did get.
And honestly? It wasn't that fun. I had to scour rooftops, look around in vases, cross-reference the wiki, reload the game because I made a wrong choice that seemed like a nothing choice at the time... And all I got were some notes. And they weren't even much better than the ones you get in a normal run.
And this was just books. I had to skip Gale's content entirely just to collect an extra note. There is a robe you can only get if you kill Karlach. There's simply too many branches for you to get everything.
You can't get 100%. You might be able to get 95%, but it won't be fun. From now on, I'll just clear the map markers before moving on, and that'll be enough for me.
I would never lay a hand on my wife
Of course not. If you put a hand on her, it'd catch fire.
Luckily, there were no notes that required her to die. If there were, I'd have had a very hard choice to make...
My dick looks like a burnt hot dog but it's worth it
In one run (my Bhaal run) I killed her to get the robes from Wyll, then killed Wyll. I didn't need the robes, they just look good.
I kill you
You’re right, I think I’ll just play more casually. Do you have any links or recommendations so I don’t miss anything important? The only thing I know is that I can’t let the fire burn forever in Scene 1."
This page has all the activities in the game that are time sensitive. Anything not on this page can be done whenever. https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Time_sensitive_activities
That's the wiki I used too. I found it way better than the other (fextralife?) one.
General advice to OP: If you're anxious, I would advise that you do a full, proper save (i.e. not a quick save) periodically.
When I get home, I'll have a wee look to see if there are any significant missable items not covered by the above guide.
But there are some collectibles and the like that are mutually exclusive, albeit not many.
thanks a lot!
