My biggest annoyance right now is when some party member randomly fails to jump across a gap and I don't notice for ten minutes and then combat starts. Or when you can't control positioning going up a ladder or something and the wrong person initiates dialogue.

Just got to the creche after fully completing the Underdark/Grymforge.

^ you haven't met up with Gale or Astarion yet (unless if you made one of them your main)?

iirc, I met both almost immediately after leaving the space ship in the beginning, but tbf, Wyll is my main, so maybe that had something to do with it

Yeah no, Im just doing stuff, did the goblin place and then found Underdark and now Im just going deeper.

I think I met one companion at the goblin place but I killed her. My group is lvl 5, my nudist Monk (custom) and nudist Wyll with mage armor with Shadowheart and Kaerlech group is going well.

Funny minor spoilers about the Mizora "sidequest" (if you know what I mean) in Act 3.

You can have sex with Mizora in Act 3. It was supposed to be secret but Shadowheart found out but she was totally fine with it*. However, Wyll, who I don't even have any sexual relationship with was angry. While the conversation was going on suddenly "Wyll disapproves" casually appears and I burst out laughing.

*Not actually totally fine, but it makes the comparison funnier when I say it like that

Oh you definitely should've met both of them way before hitting the Goblin den. But it's cool. There's no real "right way" to play (except for min maxxers because they're doing it wrong!)

Shadowheart also likes sharing you with the Drow twins in the brothel. It's a fun "scene", and just highlights that she's a fucking freak. Just like I like 'em.

I got waylaid by them as well. Monks are OP at our level. I got their HP low enough so that Astarion could sleep 2 of them out of commission, then ran for the open portal.

Yeah I found this to be an irritating issue during my play through; the imbalanced distribution of classes and races amongst companions. Though, for me, the race issue was more annoying. No short king or lizard companions RIP

Certainly, especially since you can respec your companions to be totally different classes. Its funny Larian was complaining about people making only humans but most of the companions are a human and/or elf.

I went ahead and put Karlach and Wyll into my party for our first face-to-face with Gortash in act 3. Karlach begged to run in and kill him despite Wyll's father being there, and I said sure just to see what would happen. After all that talk, the Steel Watch robot grabs her by the arm like a child and drags her offscreen while she shouts curse words

Unfortunately this character cannot catch a break in terms of my esteem of them >_>

I had that problem and only 2 of my companions had a good ending. and I'm not even sure if it was Lae'zel's good ending or not because I haven't seen the others

actually maybe you could say 3 good endings but I'm not sure about Gale either

Someone on Reddit says the only three characters that can be kidnapped are Lae'zel, Halsin and Gale. So if all three are in your party she takes the orphan that cat Grub is with. And I think if you don't have her then Orin just tells you she took some innocent

There are ~4 ways that can go down and some of them are bad.

Lae'zel is probably the best, you keep the kid and the cat, kid starts selling soup.

Gayle should probably end the same way but I couldn't get the kid to update her conversation.

Halsin kills Scratch, automatic reload.

These are picked based on who you have in your party when the scene triggers and current squaddies cannot be taken.

If none of them are taken she replaced the kid and tries to feed you the cat.

So the last two are obviously unacceptable.

All of these are contingent on getting the scene in camp, you can also force trigger it in one of the sewer entrances but none of them work well with the kid.

Speaking of the sewer, what's up with the refugees being used for target practice by the cultists. After defeating the cultists the refugee NPCs start running like fucking The Flash and you need to make sure you've disarmed the tripwires in the next room or they blow themselves up/ Then they seem to be scripted to disappear but one of them didn't. I tried to talk to them but my MC said "Shadowheart needs to talk to her more than I do", but after that they couldn't be clicked on to talk to at all. She started running the other way to the noxious gas in the first room and walked back and forth in it while healing until the damage roll was enough to kill her

I don't think they have anything going on, just set dressing.

It's just more glaring when it happens here because it's fairly uncommon for the game to do that, only other one I can think of offhand is lavagnome.

Do you have a summon summoned or a druid transformed? Having those causes a lot of npcs to run around in panic.

omg I forgot about how elementals work. Really discourages me from using them, the way they're implemented outright seems like a bug. I remember in act 2 having half of last light's inn chasing my fire elemental into the shadow yelling at it to go away as they literally rotted to death

HOWEVER that didn't seem to be the issue in this case, I reloaded and dispelled mine before the fight ended and the refugees still exhibited the odd behavior
