Well, I just completed the game.
Just gonna put spoiler tags on it, just 'cause.
Killed Astarion. Blew the fucking shit out of Minthara.
Didn't save the land from the shadow curse, in act 2. Which caused Halsin to leave, or rather, to stay.
Didn't save anyone down in submersible of Act III, this includes Wyll's dad.
Turned Orpheus into a mind flayer, turned my back on the Emperor.
Turned Wyll and Karlach loose on the hells.
Wyll ended up becoming the Blade of Avernus.
Gave Gale the crown to turn over to Mystra and save himself.
Saved Shadowheart's parents, as she was my love interest.
Saved Minsc after several frustrating tries, just to find out that he's as annoying as ever.
Played as an Dark Urge Oathbreaker Drow Paladin.
Defeated Orin and the Dark Urge.
10/10, am playing again. This time as a Gnomish (College of Swords) Bard.
Yeah, I staked Asterion the first time he tried to bite me on the first and only full playthrough I've done. Raphael shows up and stops you before you go into the crypt to talk about an old "friend" of his, or some such.Curious, since you killed Asterion early on, did Raphael still show up and ask you to kill Yugir in act 2?
Yeah he'll always pop up about that, its only if you progressed in Astarion's quest/friendship levels that you use it as an opportunity to make a deal with the devil to learn what the marks on his skin mean.Curious, since you killed Asterion early on, did Raphael still show up and ask you to kill Yugir in act 2?
The one caveat I can think of is that I didn't face her directly. I started the Dror Razglin fight and the scrying ob somehow called her in.Technically that should only be possible if she was knocked out, unless you're running some mod that bugs it out somehow
On a new play through. I definitely killed Minthara in the Gobbo camp. But she showed up in Moonrise anyway.
Is that new?
Oh yeh, This time I had myself as the tank, Shadowheart as the cleric, Wyll as the ranger, and Gale as my Wizard. Some of those fights were just about picking Gale up though. The Yurgir fight, he must'a went down 5-7 times.
Does the game run any better since the release? I know there were a lot of issues specifically when you get to the third act, I'm just wondering whether or not they fixed everything. I've been thinking about firing up another run and doing the dark urge stuff.
OPness is all about abusing item synergy more than anything else. If you get the ice staff from the 3 dead drow in Underdark then combine it with the Wintery Gloves now you freeze everything constantly. Similarly if you get the fire gloves and combine it with the cinder boots on Monk Karlach or something you now have an entirely new heat convergance mechanic to do burst damage with.I main'd Gale wizard first playthrough. Whole lotta rezz tag going on.
Laezel had to hard carry with stealth sharp-shooting from Astorion. Now I see videos with warlocks and stuff they do so much damage. A lot of the difficulty of a first experience seems trivialized.
