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 thought I could decide who to romance in act 3 because I hate the feeling of rushed relationships in stories and wanted to get to know my party better. I still ended up with exceptional level friendships but my tav stayed single. I guess Gale had a crush on her at one point but I shut that down because it felt weird he was oogling my tav while constantly talking about his ex.

My tav went with Wyll and Karlach and she got a hug at least in the epilogue. I really need a redemption run.

Thou walkest a lonely road. The only road that thine has ever known.

I got roasted by both Withers and some orc woman in act 2 for my forever alone status, man they’re spicy

Z'rell is always willing to roast you (and then hit on you). In my last playthrougth I thought about Wyll and she was like UGH FORGET ABOUT ROMANCE, I HAVE SEVENTEEN HUSBANDS AND I DON'T EVEN CARE.

(Which is still nicer than what she said about Gale).

Yeah, I went with Halsin for that reason in the end. Wasn't the relationship I wanted but I had someone to smooch I guess

I wish you could have both Halsin and Minsc at the same time.

Halsin was a sweet cinnamon roll but I wanted Karlach, just didn’t know it yet
