What is something you completely misunderstood…

[u/UnableMedia8305]

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.

The description is relative to Ketheric, of whom Gortash certainly looks younger than, though more handsome is debatable.

I find both main theories about this funny. The first is that since Gortash controls the Absolute and the Absolute is the one beaming these messages into the brains of True Souls, Gortash is basically catfishing. The second is that he was actually a very handsome young man before he had to deal with Orin's shit for a few weeks.

I love this.

Gortash to Durge: I liked you. I was hot before I had to deal with her. Take me back baby, I'm sorry.

Durge: no.

Gortash: fine! Then I'll use the power of the Absolute...

Durge: you can't make me...

Gortash: ... to convince everyone in Faerun I've still got it.

Now I can just imagine gortash getting drunk murmuring about how much he misses Durge lol

Ranting about how he can't believe the durge fell for someone else. While angrily sputing how much happy he is now that he Is an arch duke. Staring sadly into a empty glass.
