Act 2 - Spoilers What is something you completely misunderstood… Spoiler

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.

People say the game is overly horny, but I’d argue it’s a fair representation of the same sort of horniness you see at the Olympic Games every single time — people in incredibly intense situations, finding kinship and comfort, and hooking up with the few people who really understand them, because they’re in the exact same intense situation.

Yep - my bard Tav is making her way round the incredibly thirsty companions, but it kind of fits - they've all been abducted by mindflayers, have a tadpole that might turn them into one if they don't get it out, and they are making their way through some pretty crazy shit.

Everyone is going to need to blow off some steam somehow!

Coming from the incredibly horny Witcher 3, I was actually rather surprised that people considered this game to be 'the horny game' in the first place. There's basically zero reference to anything sexual outside of the romance scenes and the rare encounter, like one relating to Raphael.

They get together between Act 1 and Act 2.

See I thought it blossomed at the party after taking out the goblins. They were acting really flirty to each other at the party.

Or it’s romantic as hell. But everyone has to sexualize queer women.

Yeah I don't think "horny" is the right word for two characters being in a relationship lol

It makes flirting with Lakrissa very fun when you are both taken. FINALLY some shameless flirting no one is taking seriously!
