Seems to maybe be dialog path dependent; I found him in the Sanctuary prison because I wanted him to try healing the parasite; he said that he couldn't, but the answers would be at Moonrise Towers. I then asked him if he could travel with me if he couldn't directly heal me, and TLDR he immediately gave the offer of "Sure, kill the three leaders, and I'm in."
I just got through the refugee party, and it seems like he's ready to go into party rotation right now, although I put down the game last night right at that point.
Will confirm after work if he's immediately playable.

Yea...that never happened. I murdered that whole area, talking to everyone in the druid camp after etc. Hal left the camp after I completed the tower stuff.
Yeah she died in the fight...no druids for me.
Karlach is bugged out too, upgraded her heart back to back in chapter 2 and now no more journal entries for her.
Second playthrough will be switching everything up so I guess I still have lots to see.

@Grabbit Allworth I was reading some lists of what has changed in BG3 vs tabletop 5E and stumbled in to this build site. Initially I kind of scoffed at your idea of 'i don't allow multiclassing in my games' but holy shit I've changed my mind - this is the gayest shit I've seen in a long time lol:
Flagship Build: Oath of the Watchers Paladin- Tabletop Builds
This D&D 5E build, the HexWatchers (and variant UndeadWatchers) is a force multiplier that lets a party punch far above its weight class defensively.tabletopbuilds.com
Maybe if you include in your character 'build' includes blocks of test like this:
Creator’s Note – Making a custom background is RAW. Page 125 of the Player’s Handbook 125 states:
You're a gigantic fag and no one is gonna play DND with you
from the build -
If the first thing you try to do at the table after making your character is attempt to sell your starting equipment to buy other shit because that's how the math breaks down this whole campaign is probably going to end in disaster for at least one of us.

act3 sidequest spoiler question:
has anyone find a way to resolve the fireworks factory that isn't just waltzing up on the 3rd floor and murdering everyone? I got the secret phrase to see the better merchant on the 2nd floor, but I'm getting pretty close to the end of the game here and haven't come across anything more to do with this place besides just murderblitz it all

One thing about turn based here is that movement is absolute king of everything. So the bonuses you get from being a dwarf with a 2meter less movement per turn don't make up for that loss. Bet your ass my 2nd run paladin is going to be a Wood elf with 10.5M base movement a turn.
This doesn't come up nearly as much as in a game like BG2 where its RTMWP.

Not even a good troll. Guy needs some writers. Luckily there's about to be a whole lot looking for work.

Why do you say that? I restarted because I just wasn't enjoying playing a main character that had fuck-all for cha because sometimes you have no choice but to talk to people with your main, and if you're using a companion you miss out on any +approval you would normally get for choices they make while speaking for you. Finding it very hard to come up with a plan I like that doesn't involve 3 characters with a cha focus (eventually ending up with me as sword bard 6/fiend warlock 5/wizard 1, Karlach as ancient paladin 7/great old one warlock 5, and Shadowheart as tempest cleric 2, storm sorcerer 8, divination wizard 2). 4th slot is just whoever for now, but will probably be some sort of gloomstalker cheese if I go with Minsc, or a moon druid 7/bearheart barbarian 5 if I decide to use Jaheira instead. Crushing flight owlbear definitely sounds amusing.
At any rate, covering important skills isn't terribly difficult, and I haven't really seen any other downsides to wanting cha on 3 out of 4. I haven't seen any +cha items to fight over (not counting the hag reward, which I wouldn't give a companion anyway).

I agree with this especially if your a melee class. There’s nothing worst in this game for me when can’t attack an enemy cause your not close enough to them. That 1 or 2 meter extra would of sufficed. For me it’s very critical that I get first attack and kill them before they can get a second turn.

So I’m playing with 2 friends, we decided to each take an origin character, I’m Karlach, others are playing Astarion and Shadowheart. Tonight I had an awesome Shadowheart moment from my friend, taking choices I would probably never take.
We've agreed that unless one of our character dies, we don't do reloads and live with the consequences of our actions.

Basically we get to the camp and Lea'zel is pissed at Shadowheart about the artifact and she demands answers. My friend basically, nope it's mine I don't have to say anything to you. We go to bed and Lea'zel is over Shadowheart with a dagger in her hand and steals the artifact with promptly kills her...permanently. So we don't have Lea'zel for the rest of the game.

I haven't gotten to the point where everything about the artifact is revealed, but what doesn't make sense to me is why it ends up in my inventory. I guess it's a bug? It seemed to happen when I removed her from the party temporarily to use my pickpocket and alchemy characters. Not sure if it actually has any effect, but I made a note to never remove her from the party on my new restart playthrough.

I had that happen somewhat. But Shadowheart was the one trying to kill lea'zel. I had to stop it, because I needed the fighter at the time. I didn't have korlach yet. The funny thing is, after that, those both got a long a lot better and even chat about dealing with their shit and they should be ok now, when just walking around. I think shadowheart trying to kill her in her sleep made laezel approve of her even more.

It's pretty amazing the amount of permutation of events that are possible.

I fucked up that scene even more. Not only did one of the characters perma another, but I failed another quest because apparently waiting too long to rescue that one npc in the cave in results in them dying if you long rest a couple times after getting the quest

There are a lot of ways to affect quests.
For example going directly to goblin camp and killing the 3 bosses will close up a lot of quests from the grove. Since the tieflings are leaving most of quests from then are closed.
It’s what makes the game so fun for me, and it makes me look forward to replaying it.
