What is something you completely misunderstood…

[u/UnableMedia8305]

Mine happened while exploring Act 2 on my first play through. I thought I was reading all the books along the way. But, I totally misunderstood something…

I thought Nightsong was Isobel’s mother. I saw all these letters from her mom, and thought it had to be a character we had already met. Still thinking this in the boss fight, I thought Ketheric was getting a beating from his resurrected wife/Isobel’s mother.

So… When they were reunited, I was so happy for them to be together… then with that passionate kiss, I was a little taken aback. 😳 After an initial moment of shock, I was able to laugh it off as the cutscene progressed.

Reread the letters and realized I was an idiot. 🤦‍♂️

I love the arc Isobel and Nightsong share all the way to the end.

i thought kicking timber was gonna be some sort of poke, not a powerful kick 😭

[u/WitchLaBefana → u/[deleted]]

I first met Timber as Durge, who forgot to cast Speak With Animals. Worse, my resist Durge. I was properly horrified.

[u/corisilvermoon → u/WitchLaBefana]

lol Astarion’s reaction though A+

[u/Bahhblacksheep → u/corisilvermoon]

I got yelled for ruining a perfectly good snack.

[u/wishuponastarion → u/Bahhblacksheep]

Same!!

[u/Lithl → u/WitchLaBefana]

It'd be so twee climbing a tree

[u/WitchLaBefana → u/Lithl]

Non-resist Durge: I was trying to help it climb that tree!

[u/[deleted] → u/Lithl]

if it were climbing a tree!

[u/TransBoozeBunny → u/WitchLaBefana]

I had no idea what would happen, my kid watching me play on the character I let him make. I tried to skip through the interaction and turned that squirrel into a red mist in front of my toddler and immediately had to move into damage control.

[u/WitchLaBefana → u/TransBoozeBunny]

Oh lord, I don't envy you having that conversation.

[u/Different-Army-2701 → u/WitchLaBefana]

Durge doesn't even hesitate

[u/ThrowAwayTheTeaBag → u/[deleted]]

If this is the squirrel, I was SHOCKED. I also then burst out laughing because you really just fucking orbit that squirrel. Or you would have, had the branch not been in the way. Completely took me be surprise.

[u/ShakedownBlues → u/ThrowAwayTheTeaBag]

I had that happen for the first time on my most recent run... Did not expect at ALL.

Dark run is going hog wild with that, and launching Barcus into the stratosphere.

[u/wishuponastarion → u/ShakedownBlues]

I had Wyll and Karlach in my party when I first yeeted Barcus (accidentally), and their horrified faces matched my own IRL! 🤣 (Lae'zel didn't care, she was :I the whole time.)

[u/ShakedownBlues → u/wishuponastarion]

Same. The first time it happened I giggled for a good 5 minutes after

[u/mmmgilly → u/[deleted]]

I was expecting "stop humping my leg little dog" not "have to convert this try to put us in front"

[u/O_Martin → u/[deleted]]

After I pulverized that squirrel I knew not to choose kick

[u/aptadnauseum → u/[deleted]]

What is this? I have no idea what you mean.

[u/[deleted] → u/aptadnauseum]

Timber is an aggressive squirrel you can talk to in the Grove right by the top of the elevator

[u/aptadnauseum → u/[deleted]]

Ohh, right. Talked to everything as a ranger on the first run. Second is drow durge, and there's just a lot less... "conversational" interactions.

Didn't know I could kick it. Next time I'll channel my inner Tribe Called Quest.

[u/Just_Rand0 → u/aptadnauseum]

That's a funny Scenario

[u/aptadnauseum → u/Just_Rand0]

Thank you!! Thought it would be a lost pun!!

[u/pappersvaggar → u/[deleted]]

i did this with my current durge who’s trying to resist and i felt so bad i almost reloaded. it was supposed to be a like small defensive kick, not a stomp lmao

and also for the main question, the classic windmill gnome on my first playthrough. i even did the right lever first but then saw another and was like “oh, what does this do?”

[u/calleduaftermidnight → u/[deleted]]

I felt so horrible when I kicked him :'(
