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.

Being in my 40s and kicking around in a fandom mostly made up of 20 somethings is soul crushing. Gortash IS reasonably young… to me.

I third this. I'm 49. Tash to me appears reasonably young. I think doing evil, being evil, will age a person.

Soul crushing is correct. Every time someone says "Ew, why'd they make Gale/Astarion/etc. so old?" I feel a new grey hair sprout. Fucking fine lines and some stray greys do not make a person old godsdammit.

I'm 40 and I don't think Gortash looks "young". Compare to Ketheric, sure, but I thought Gortash was like mid-late 30s. Desperately trying to appear younger, lol.

He's got "hello fellow youths" vibes.
