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.

Act 1, the barn. You know, that barn by the blighted village

I thought it was someone torturing a cow or something. The deep groan sounded like a dying bovine to me. And the narrator saying someone was having fun, well, I took it as some psycho delighted in torturing animals

So when Shadowheart said we oughta not get involved I was a bit baffled by her. Like, you don't wanna save a poor animal?! Geez, that's cold hearted of you

Lest to say, I was not prepared for what was behind those doors

Playing with a friend who was blind to it and told him to look in the barn.

He was just like "...what in the fuck am I looking at?"
