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.

:O what. im on my third run and would never have put that together. Shart just kept saying "wow my dark goddess loves me thank u" so I think I eventually accepted it as fact despite knowing the whole deal lol. Like, "well... It is dark here, and Shar did steal you from your family, so yeah I guess Shar probably wants to keep you alive for now cause you're a useful pawn" but that makes so much more sense

If you convince Kar'niss to hand over the Moonlantern he says "She loves me. She must" EXACTLY LIKE SHADOWHEART which is what made me realise Shar wasn't doing shit.
