Oh I know, I’ve lurked here since I made it to act 3 but I’m feeling particularly low so today I’m trying to comment more! You’ve been feeding my meme addiction like you wouldn’t believe.
I kinda left Wyll hanging in such a bad way. I was playing a Sorcerer and there was a scene with Gale where he was teaching me how to do some spell. I chose all the Sorcerer options and he went from the ribbing about me being a sorcerer to a very gentle/light ribbing and I just fucking fell in love with him and started to romance him then and there.
Like two nights later, if not the next night, Wyll came up and was like “Dance with me!” and I did for a bit and then he said “Bone?” and I said I was with Gale.
The fucking puppy dog eyes that man made as he slunk off… holy fuck. I have never felt so guilty in my life over pixels.

Ha omg that reminded me of Lae’zel’s confession. I didn’t especially do anything to get in her good books; she was at the camp most of the time, but I did take actions that were favourable to her, and did her side quest at the crèche.
She suddenly went from being abrasive and sharp to an elvish poet and was by far the most romantic confession of love I’ve ever seen in a game, and I just no because I’d already invested a lot of time into Shadowheart’s romance.
Her expression at the end after I rejected her lived in my mind rent free for weeks.
Really? At least dancing is mating behavior in other animals… With Gale things went from 0 to 100 when he “wanted to show something to me later”, which essentially turned out to be his dick.
I’ve had more genuine laughs from this game (first playthrough, early act 3) than from any other. Just having Karlach in my party makes me smile every time I switch to her.
Hot Karl has such a fun personality, and her VA just makes her sound so happy to be free, but worried (a little) about what’s next. She’s always in my party.
For me one of the most impressive examples of how little a voice has to match someone is the singer from the German band Annenmaykantereit who looks like a thin and weak young guy but has that kind of roughness in his voice of a 60 year old guy that smoked all their life
I didn’t realize until talking with friends that you could win the abduction fight at the Harper camp in Act 2. If you don’t kill the baddies in time, the safe bubble collapses, and everyone in the Harper camp gets shadow cursed, and you have to fight your way through them. It’s genuinely heartbreaking and horrifying.
This happened to me and my friends two sessions ago. We ended up reloading an older save since it seemed as might lose a lot of story threads otherwise.
Indeed, depending on various conditions, quite a few threads can end there on the spot. Other consequences (like losing the necrotic resistance) can be severe, too.
As is, I think the fight is probably too challenging considering the stakes. From what I can tell, her gloves have been bugged since launch, and the fight was likely balanced around them being active and auto-clearing her debuffs. Last time I was there, she got paralyzed early in the first round and they made quick work of her after that (and this was a multiplayer session on Explorer).
Sanctuary does make the fight all but trivial if there’s a cleric in the party.
There are two places you can go to trigger Act 2, either by going into the elevator in Grymforge or continuing into the Mountain Pass after meeting/fighting the Githyanki.
There’s a popup in each area to be sure you’ve finished what you want to, as moving to either area progresses the story and quests, and some stuff you don’t do is left undone.
There’s a similar popup between Acts 2 and 3, though there’s only one way to go for that and once you do, you can’t fast travel back to anywhere in Acts 1 or 2.
Ah, I was just tinkering with the elevator but instead went down to the forge. Good to know there is a check, because I feel I have much more still to do topside. I stumbled into the underdark one fateful night and thought I was there too early but I’d have a quick look around and then get back to what I was doing… Fast forward to today and I’ve been on many adventures in the deep, forgetting my life above. Fitting for A Drow I suppose
The forge isn’t the elevator to act 2. The elevator to act 2 is near the waypoint by the boat in Grymforge. There are 2 or 3 duergar out front and one calls another Stick shit. They warn you before you go onto the elevator so you’ll know before you proceed to act 2.
There’s no consequences if he doesn’t get caught. Separate him from the group, sneak around, steal, and then return to the group. The only drawback is that if he gets caught and ends up in a fight, it’s going to take you awhile to help him. He can just dash away though if you give him any movement boosts. But be forewarned. There are serious consequences to getting caught in some parts of the game, very serious consequences.
2nd act, IIRC? It would be available after the Emerald Grove situation is sorted. It’s just a background interaction that happens in your camp between these two.
When you are chasing a specific feat, ability, or trait that comes from multi-classing. You should know why you’re doing it, and in knowing why, you’ll know when.
