See, I'm tempted to do it on purpose now I know it's a possibility. But also... so cursed. Why would you do this to us, Larian.
Yeah, all the quests feel fun and fleshed-out whether they're main-plot-relevant or not. When I think of RPG filler, I think of the sort of quests that only seem to be there to pad/grind out XP (Dragon Age 2, I still love you after all these years, but I am not returning anyone else's lost pantaloons). Auntie Ethel was fantastically creepy and horrifying. That poor drow prisoner. :(
I share the getting-lost curse, but haven't found these maps to be too maze-like so far. (I do invariably manage to find the most awkward route to any destination, though. How many times have I struggled through a series of difficult and injurious jumps that only half my party members can make without a githyanki psionic boost before realising there was a bridge right around the corner? More than once. /sigh)
Oh, the cub isn't the bomb. I'm the bomb.
That makes SO much more sense than the picture I had in my head. I was imagining the owlbear cub as some kind of battle summon that you would yeet at the enemy like a grenade (and wondering why the internet had failed to give me a heads-up about this mildly concerning scenario!!) Even more excited for my second druid-or-ranger playthrough now I know owlbear wildshape is a thing. All the druid subclasses sound like so much fun.
I love Rumi's name! /fistbump of Not Embracing The Tadpole solidarity Have you run into any interesting bits of half-drow reactivity/special interactions? Act I has been consistently good for that on the githyanki front and I feel like drow & half-drow should get at least as much.
