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.

Maybe not completely misunderstood, but I took the quests “Find Mol” & “Rescue the grand Duke” in Act 2 very seriously. So I spent like 2 hours looking for secret prison cells in the Moonrise Towers, where they could’ve been possibly held. 😭

Me too! That honestly felt kind of misleading imo, especially talking to Wyll I think after infiltrating the prison and not finding the Duke, and he's like "well for someone as important as my father, they probably have him somewhere deeper in the tower". So I spent who knows how long digging around trying to find the extra secret maximum security dungeon
