Ooh, I bet co-op is fun. Larian seems to do that mode really well.
I've def been noticing more bugs, where there had been almost none before. Had to restart a sequence last night because shifting to camp and back (to grab a party member) accidentally loaded us in on the wrong floor and thus threw me into a cutscene I didn't have any context for. Also failed a roll because the bonuses I selected just didn't register! At the same time, I'm not too worried about this sort of thing, because it can be patched up over time. It's harder to... hmm, rebalance the main plot flow-through. Act I was so much fun but, as a friend pointed out, once you find out who the main players are it feels a bit like a very extended prologue.
Yes... with Shadowheart... literally the scene from the article, but I was the one in clown paint. Could be worse. A friend had an emotional scene with their LI, Astarion, and they were both clowns.
Niceeee! And ooh, I love the sound of that fic 👀 "Vow of silence" little miss discretion above all would, lol. Thank goodness she can say so much with an eyebrow.
I decided not to overthink my first character in order to just get through the game; Rumi the druid is a very straightforward nice and heroic type so I can make friends with everyone and save lots of people. I've been brooding a bunch on a proper RP playthrough though, feat. a half-drow Dark Urge named Irruit, who'll be a bit more complex >:) I like building on canon bones sometimes, so even though the game itself won't necessarily let me pull it off in the game itself, I'm headcanoning her as an urban druid (aka probs a ranger/druid multiclass) who grew up in Baldur's Gate and [cough] was maybe childhood mates with a certain scrappy red tiefling. Alas, they'd argued heavily around the time Karlach went to work for Gortash; when she disappeared Irruit was left with the impression she'd up and done a bunk without a word, and she spent the next ten years being really normal about it.
