Dunno if it works like in DOS2 where you can lock an NPC down with another player
You absolutely can, I've had to do it to get people to look the other way.

The problem is that it only works well on people with full dialogue trees, the randoms who toss out a line or two will remove themselves from conversation.

I like that so many side quests end with "maybe we'll see them again at Baldur's Gate", it's really building to be the mecca of the adventure
In at least one case you can literally make a bet to see them there. Only a small one though, 10 gold IIRC. I'm also supposed to get a free round of drinks from another group at the Elfsong Tavern, should they make it.

It sounds great the way she describes it, but if you listen to the rest they're maybe a bit too down with pain and murder and torture. They're closer to a suicide cult that seems to want to kill the world and then themselves to achieve Shar's everlasting night.

But the stuff about darkness setting you free and not fearing the dark is all pretty neat. I'd probably be down with Shar if it wasn't for the murder and torture (even self-torture) stuff they seem to be all about.

Shadowheart has been duped into thinking that the Sharrans are better people than they actually are. The religion is horrific.

Shadow-Cursed Land is great. I love the town there. Feels spooky but safe >_>

I ended up killing the strange cow. Idk if theres a better way to handle that but I was using Karlach's talk to animals and it just got pissed and turned into a blob lol

Had to reset because I did not know talking to Isobel would result in the entire town getting turned into shadow zombies. >_>

Speaking of Sharrans, *Act 3 spoilers* that fight underneath the House of Grief was a hell of a thing. Wall of Fire really pulled its weight with all the enemies being funneled into a hallway to get to me.

I chose to let Shadowheart decide whether to let her parents go or not. She chose to let them go and break the curse, and goddamn if that and the following scene at camp didn't make me feel things. Jennifer English is a hell of a VA.

From what I understand, it's both...kinda. If Google is correct, you have 3 polyamorous relationships in the game:

You+Shadowheart+Astarion
You+Shadowheart+Halsin
You+Halsin+Astarion

Karlach is open to it at first, then when you fix her Infernal Engine, she changes her mind and wants it to be exclusive.

The other Origin characters not named want it to be exclusive.

I've seen conflicting posts about the first grouping.

I just had a delightful moment.

Karlach has a greatsword that deals additional necrotic damage. Not great for undead, both slashing and the element.

Got faced with a roomful of high level dead sorts, Karlach runs in, swings, does much less damage than I'd like.

The answer?

Pop Frenzy and start hitting dead people with their fellow dead people as improvised weapons.

I did that earlier today lmao. I thought things couldn't get weirder than the bear! I reloaded after doing it though just in case it would (rightfully) freak Gale out.

I just lost a fight with (Act 3 optional boss) Auntie Ethel Electric Boogaloo. Took me way too long to realize the mushrooms revived her and I was wittled down, bleh. I'm too tired for attempt #2 tonight though.

If you didn't read the formula in the safe you're doing it wrong.

Also Disintegrate never misses objects, which has been very useful in a few fights.

I thought the formula was just for getting Vanra out? Still had to wollup the 3 flowers. I used a passive ending attack on Ethel and cut Vanra out manually, she ran off to a corner for the rest of the fight lol.

Fuck, that actually works?

I couldn't make it happen, had lost the ingredients for the quest item, and reloaded an old save.

It's hilarious, though.

You can actually do it even if it was previously on a compatible corpse. It's just that after the first time after a long rest it changes from cast in the middle of the toolbar to re-cast in the far right of the bar.

I need to dedicate an entire day to this game. Been playing like an hour or two a day and this only covers maybe 1 quest and 1-3 battle encounters. Rest of the time is spent searching every object in an area and staring at my inventory. Oh and gawking at the graphics too
Good thing about this game being turn base is that I can set my TV to movie mode HDR which provides better picture than game mode HDR without worrying about extra input lag that much.

Anyways I'm moving at a snail's pace

Yeah, level 5 is basically a 'tier up'. Martial classes get their Extra Attack, doubling the base number of attacks they can do each turn. Spell casters get level 3 spells, which means overtuned spells like Fireball become available(or Twinned Haste for all the Sorcerers out there), and a bump in Cantrip damage.

Also found out the Inn has a basement. That was pretty fun.

Karlach is quickly becoming my favorite party member. She's a fucking brick and her personality is tons of fun.

Instead of going for the Moonrise Tower I'm thinking of doubling back and checking out the mountain pass. But that'll have to wait for tomorrow. >_>

Level 5 is a huge power jump for some classes, and a medium power jump for the rest. Like some classes being able to attack twice, that's double the damage.

Highly suggest you do that.

Also suggested: at the crche tell them you have the artifact, no matter what your guardian tells you. But ultimately side with the guardian in the end (you'll know when). Also bring along Lae'zel for best results. But for the love of God convince her to stay with you or else.

I saw the Ciri clothes mod on Nexus so created her character to join my group, lol. Not sure if I will keep her, since I found you can't dismiss a custom multiplayer character back to camp or even just get rid of them (wtf). Hopefully someone can make a mod, or Larian decides to patch that or allow full customization of hirelings.
