This might be a bit of a playthrough topic, expect it to fizzle out like my KH playthrough topic, lol

I'm currently in a dank crypt and have done nothing to advance the story aside from talk to Shadowheart when she was unconscious

I did see some people that I purposely avoided because I wasn't sure if they were hostile or not, it was near some what looked like ruins on the edge of a cliff.

If you want a bit more direction, several party members are fairly close-ish to the starting area in the forest, in different locations.

The game starts directionless but once you recruit everyone on the way here and really trigger the main questline you will have quest markers pointing you where to go if you get lost.

But best advice, explore everywhere, talk to anyone you find interesting or think might be important, and the game will take care of itself eventually.

I found a button, pressed it and awoke every dead body in the crypt. Shadowheart and I died without even taking down one of them, granted I now realize I wasn't very efficient in that fight lol

Oh you're that early, okay. That fight can be tough for only two people if you don't know what you're doing, you should wander around the beach more to find more companions.

Oh, okay. Wrong crypt. There are a lot of dungeons in this Dungeons and Dragons game.

Yeah, if you wander the cliffs/foresty area you'll find more party members. Then you can take on the crypt. Or head back there later when you feel like it.

Beat it on the third try. I was going to try and pick up one of the bodies before the fight, it triggered the fight, so I realized I could position myself better and trigger the fight that way and ended up getting it done. Then I went and pressed the button and talked to Withers. Seems like a chill dude.

I also ended up dying to the group of bandits outside the chapel a bunch of times. So I eventually just tried intimidating them and they ran off. Then when I tried to enter the chapel some guy was talking shit from behind the door. I picked the lock preceded to rob the place and get killed when they finally saw me. Reloaded robbed the place and left. Then I finally came across Lae'zel, saved her, mocked her a little and got her to join the party. Shadowheart did not like that.

Then we came across the grove, killed a bunch of goblins and went inside.

I'm probably way off on this but I'm thinking the narrator, mind flayers and the absolute are all very intertwined. Thinking the narrator and absolute are one in the same, and possibly the one that has unleashed the mind flayers.

I typically like to try and ironman my first playthroughs of games like this, but sometimes I have to cheat lol. Hell the only reason I even know that scratch is recruitable is because of the immortal scratch mod that is available.

Also Bryanna and Alderick decided they wanted to die for some reason and started attacking me and the party during the owlbear fight. I had turned on non-lethal attacks because I didn't want to kill the owlbear or its cub. Alderick killed the cub and we knocked out the mother. She is going to be devastated when she wakes up.

So after restarting and going through Withers tomb again, I now realize that if I see dead bodies I can try and cast speak with dead on them and if it doesn't work I know they are going to try and get up to kill me at some point.

Generally, yes - at least far as as gaining/losing approval points goes. However, if they're not there and you do something big and plot-related, they'll often still react to it next time you go visit them. Especially if it's directly related to their personal quests. Party members won't be happy if their personal goal is do to X and you do X without them, or if you make a decision that now makes X impossible.

Most of the time. They'll be affected by stuff you do in camp if they're in range, but other than that, they have to be in your party.

There's one quest where if you do it without a party member, they'll be so angry that they leave the party. But it's pretty obvious what it is.

Astarion seems a little too on the nose as a rogue, Gale on the other hand seems like he'll be my boy. Can't believe I just walked past him on my original play through. Like I saw the portal but didn't think anything of it because I thought it was just a camp portal.

But I'm not doing that. I didn't want to read it and spoil stuff for myself.
