I won’t lie about the Gnome-tossing one… I didn’t realize there were two switches and mindlessly clicked one that sent him flying to his death. You can imagine my gasp and shock when I flung him to his death, full-speed 😂
Spoiler warning: helping Mayrina isn't a cursed decision; she admits in act 3 that she was manipulated by the hag and is grateful for your help. She then asks for further help as the hag is still alive. She even dedicates herself to hunting hags and helping hag victims.
I used Gale's orb ability to clear out a neverending horde of rats...seemed like an understandable sacrifice at the time.
The atrocities I’ve committed due to my incompetence in my first play through rival a dark urge play through 😂
When you meet the Gith Queen in the monastery, you can meet an untimely end by being cheeky. I laughed so hard.
After two nat 1s in conversation with Kagha, Arabella died in my playthrough. Because of that Halsin essentially cast out Kagha after the druid quest is completed- and on the night of the party Kagha is poisoned by Arabella's parents and dies! So many fascinating outcomes in this game
Reasons I could never do a evil/durge run: 1) Karlach disapproves
Having your entire party put on the wooden masks during the hag dungeon results in a fairly amusing and abrupt game over as well.
It wasn't mentioned in the video (14:20) but you don't have to _convince_ Shadowheart to not become a Dark Justiciar. I guess it depends on you relationship with her (or maybe the way you've been dealing with things in your playthrough), but I chose an option to simply stand aside and let her decide on her own and she did make the right choice. Makes the character development much more satisfying imo
On my first playthrough I ACCIDENTALY pulled the wrong lever on my (Ofcourse) Barbarian, and sent him flying. And I did not expect it all, and I was sent howling with laughter for fifteen minutes. It was incredible.
Well, turns out if you max your bond with Shadowheart, she'll treasure it higher than Shar's will. In my playthrough, I decided to stay silent through the whole scene and trust her do the right thing on her own - and she did, throwing the spear in the chasm.
Fun fact: If you choose to lead Minthara and her goblin army to the grove, a couple of goblins will find the secret entrance to the Tiefling Hideout and slaughter all the tiefling children that reside there, by wide and far the most disturbing thing I've come across in my playthrough to date.
The butterfly effect in this game is absolutely insane. In my playthrough I immediately talked to Isobel as soon as I got to the Last Light Inn, but managed to fight off all the enemies without her getting captured pretty easily, so I had no idea all of that crazy shit happens. It just reinforces the fact that you can go through multiple playthroughs and get a completely different experience each time.
It would be amazing if you met an angry, one-handed Gale later in the game, bent on revenge. I'm currently playing evil but I didn't take Gale's hand. I recruited Minthara and she is an underrated character. She has some excellent dialogue options.
The worst decision is not letting Scratch sniff you to be able to follow your scent back to camp. Tragedy at its worst
So the dark urge is basically the ‘letting your intrusive thoughts win’ run
Theres a serious horrible choice at the very beginning of the game, after you crash with the notiloid and find that half death mind flayer and it asks your help to regain strength, if you just give in to its demands and submit yourself to it, you just simply die and game over screen appears xD
I remember finding out Gale’s new cool spell. I thought its like smaller controlled blast or something. Imagine my surprise when the cutscene plaid in a random dungeon and then everyone just died 😂
On the Isobel part, you can actually complete Halsin's quest even if the Last Light Inn falls too soon. You just need to cast "speak with the dead" on the guy that dies on the bed and then you complete the quest normally
fun fact, if you keep gales hand all the way to act 3, you can use it to enter the temple of bhaal
