It grants advantage on all saving throws against spells, gives all spell attack rolls against you disadvantage, and allows you to blast enemies who strike you back with a wave of force.

Going back on their word or engaging in cruelty will cause a Paladin who swore the Oath of Devotion to become an Oathbreaker. This makes it an especially tricky subclass to maintain when playing as the "Dark Urge" origin, whose bloodthirst is hard to control and can lead to accidents. Another early example of somewhere this Oath can be broken is during the encounter with Damays and Nemissa in Act One, with Lae'zel in a cage, as choosing to attack Damays and Nemissa will immediately break the Oath of Devotion​​​​​​.


However, CD Projekt Red didn't give up on a game that they'd put so much time and effort into and decided to ensure that Cyberpunk 2077 would reach the heights that many fans were promised. The studio patched out most of the bugs and added a wealth of content to make the game as enjoyable as ever, and the launch of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners allowed many people to check out this masterpiece once again in a brand new light. As of right now, Cyberpunk 2077 is an excellent game that deserves all its plaudits, and fans can't wait to see what changes Phantom Liberty brings to the table


Navigating the world of Morrowind is far from easy, with players having to follow directions to reach certain areas instead of just relying on a map marker. It's also important to decide a character's predominant skills early on so that they can level up efficiently

At fifth level, Giant Barbarians gain access to Boot of the Giants, allowing them to spend a bonus action to kick a target away. This is a contested Athletics check, just like the shove action, but you can use Boot of the Giants to push enemies that are up to twice the weight you'd be able to shove. You'll also deal your unarmed damage to the target when using Boot of the Giants, which can be enhanced by Tavern Brawler, Martial Arts from Monk, and items like the Gloves of Crushing.

The Sage background grants proficiency for Arcana and History checks , and will typically trigger Inspiration when the Warlock engages in the magical elements of the world (like getting to Lorroakan's tower), or figuring out the historical significance of places in the world.

At Level 2, all Warlocks get to choose two Eldritch Invocations, unique abilities that can grant passive or active skills. At Level 2, only a few Eldritch Invocations are available to choose from, but as Warlocks level up more powerful options become available.

Baldur's Gate 3 's Barbarian Class is focused on strength and durability first and foremost, with access to the highest base HP of any class alongside abilities like Rage to allow them to withstand incoming damage and dish out a ton of damage themselves. Each of the Barbarian's subclasses are focused on how they fight and any additional power sources that fuel their rage. The Berserker replaces Rage with Frenzy for greater offensive benefits, the Wildheart takes primal animal aspects to gain additional powers while raging, and the Wild Magic Barbarian wields chaotic magic to strengthen their rage and fortify their body. Barbarians choose their subclass when they reach level three.

This section covers the best equipment for Great Old One Warlocks in BG3 across all three Acts. Some pieces from early Acts may still be powerful in later ones, though, and will remain equipped through several Acts.

Each of Baldur's Gate 3 's classes offers different abilities and utilities to the team, from the Rogue's incredible burst damage and trap-removing abilities, to the Fighter's access to every weapon and armor type, or the Druid's ability to shapeshift and speak with any animal they meet.

Naturally, the Giant Barbarian can make great use of the two equipment sets that were clearly designed with Barbarians in mind, the Wrath Set and the Bonespike Set. Picking up the Enraging Heart Garb at Moonrise, for example, is a great way to get extra Constitution and (If the bug with Ruintamer Heart gets fixed) get the Wrath buff by raging.

At Level 1, The Great Old One gives Warlocks access to Tasha's Hideous Laughter or Dissonant Whispers , and then at Level 3, they can use Detect Thoughts and Phantasmal Force. Playing as a Great Old One Warlock means committing nearly entirely to being a spellcaster, so only engage in combat from a distance.
