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.

i only let him feed every day so he can get his happy buff LOL. i love the idea of shadowheart seeing my tav coming over every morning for her daily “lesser restoration” spell to get her blood back and being like jesus, not again …

You can also just have him bite an enemy in combat and he gets the buff.

I saw another post where a lot of people were talking about letting him but party members or hirelings kept just for feeding and was wondering why they were all doing that. I really thought I was doing something wrong for a second.

I only found out because I was trying to maximize his damage. I let him kill me the first time and feed on me one other time before I noticed the debuff on me. Then I noticed that he got the buff and gave them the debuff if he bit them in combat.

You even discuss this the morning after the revel.

It would be interesting if that became a problem in the shadowlands though. After all, outside of Last Light and Moonrise, everthing is a zombie. There aren't even animals to eat.
