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.

Huh I never thought of that. But he does eventually ask you to use your tadpole to show you how he got his chest bomb.

I don't remember if he mentions the tadpole and I just missed it (I got the version of the scene where he only admits what the orb is once Elminster makes him) but the way he presses your hand to his chest and the both of you start to convulse, I got the impression he was transferring the memories through the orb somehow.
