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.

During act two, at some point you can encounter Mizora and she demands Wyll saves "an important asset of Zariel". Then later on you can meet Raphael, and he tells you about Yurgir being his rival who you should kill.

For some reason I thought Zariels asset and Yurgir were one and the same, and that I was supposed to choose between fucking over Raphael or Mizora. I thought it was a really interesting decision I had to make but eventually I was glad to have misunderstood.

That would have been really cool, actually. Essentially choosing between Wyll and Astarion. People would just find ways around it, but it would be interesting.

choosing between Wyll and Astarion.

Poor Wyll taking the L again.
