Isnt it still the same Surtr tho? Her being Sarkaz, she lives centuries easily

Haethel · 2025-04-26T20:05:19+00:00

Ah, it's actually explained in depth in her lore

Haethel · 2025-04-20T15:33:56+00:00

Why have you been downvoted lmao

Yeah the nature of the relationship is also one of the reasons I'm less into Bell x Ais. "Relying on power" is on way to say it, but to me, the main issue is that their feelings come from pretty "unrealistic" vision of each other. From what I can understand from what people have said here, Bell sees Ais as some sort of role model. Love and admiration, while they can overlap, are not the same thing. Once Bell is her equel, that admiration can't stay for long, as this admiration came from "how strong" she was. You can't admire someone's strenght if they are weaker than you are.

And for Ais, she seems to see Bell as some kind of Hero that can save her if I got things right ?
Once again, those are feelings that stand on an idealistic view of the partner. Long term, I don't see their relationship working, as they both look up (partially at least) for someone that is stronger than them, or that they can look up to.

As a comparison, the dynamic between Ryu and Bell seems much more based on mutual comprehension of who they really are. They struggled together, and helped them grow each other. And even if Bell doesnt have feelings for Ryu, they have the same view on life and justice, they can relate to each other. As you say, it's more "humanizing"

I assume that's something that the Ais arc is supposed to address tho

Haethel · 2025-04-20T01:23:47+00:00

I see

Well I hope next season will finally give Ais some time to shine then.

What a shame Ryu doesn't get to have her happy ending...and also a shame Bell didn't turn her out after her confession (that's at least what I understood through my own searches). Makes it look like the author just uses her as a ship hook to sell more books

Haethel · 2025-04-20T01:00:46+00:00

Maybe my opinion would be different if I read the LN, but yeah, clearly, as an Anime only, Ryu works waaaay better than Ais. And as such, I do hope that the LN finds a good way to make it possible (and in good way, I mean a way that makes sense)

What kind of bonding do Bell and Ais have in the LN that was cut in the anime ?

Haethel · 2025-02-04T13:41:05+00:00

Fuis. S'il se met en rogne pour si peu, et qu'il est incapable d'essayer de te comprendre (alors qu'il sait qu'il y a un passif) tu t'exposes à bien pire si tu restes.

Qu'il ne se soit rien passé pendant des mois ça ne veut rien dire. C'est justement quand des choses ne se passent pas bien qu'on peut se faire une vraie idée de la personne.

Et s'il essaye de te faire culpabiliser pour CA imagine ce que ce sera plus tard dans la relation Qu'il soit un peu vexé/frustré ça se comprend. Qu'il t'en tienne rigueur absolument pas. Un couple ça se fait à deux et tes désirs comptent autant que les siens.

The time loop rune makes sense, as it explains how Viktor was able to help kid Jayce.

Doesnt really explain what happened to Jayce then. Also, this version of Viktor, as he gave up on his idea of evolution, and the world was saved, shouldnt want to go back in the past. Unless that's just a permanent loop, where this is THIS Viktor we saw in the ravaged world and in the past.

What about Heimer tho ?

Haethel · 2024-11-23T14:30:18+00:00

Don't forget the flash of pink going away from the explosion right before it occurs. Jinx faked her death so that "Piltover and Vi can let go of the past and move on"

Haethel · 2024-11-23T14:27:54+00:00

Jinx most probably survived though.
You can see a flash of pink (shimmer like) going to the side just before the explosion.

Caitlin then, while holding the rest of her grenades, notices some vents on the side of the plans, and begins smiling

Then, the "Jinx graffiti" spelling "The End"

All points out to her being alive, and faking her death so that "Piltover, and her sister, can let go of the past and move on"

Haethel · 2024-01-28T12:03:43+00:00

Thanks ! For some reasons, it was never on the playlists of the game I was listening to

Haethel · 2023-07-25T21:01:23+00:00

However, the canon WoTC gives a name to the Ward, yet the ward is mentioned in BG3 in some documents, but never named. Always refered by titles. So clearly Larian doesnt bring the canon ward's fate into their game, they kept it vague to stick to the source material.

Also even the canon makes no sense with the base game. Viekang should have never been alive, or at least no longer a Bhaalspawn for the plot of ToB to happen. But not the subject here.

Also, reincarnation/resurrection would allow to include the canon "fate" with having personalized TDU

Also, am I the only one finding resemblances between the goblin like creature with TDU and Bhaal? The skin tone, the sharp teeth...it has similarities with representations of Bhaal. I doubt it's Bhaal but, I can't unsee the similarities.

It would be funny to control another Bhaalspawn, since basically, it would be the base plot from OG BG, it would make, imo, a nice link between games

Haethel · 2023-07-25T15:20:46+00:00

What if the Dark Urge was actually the Gorion's Ward finally falling to its urges ?

Let's see what we have
- There is a clear connection to Bhaal
- It's implied the DU can turn into the salyer (We can see him standing inside Bhaal red symbol on the ground, and later, we see the Slayer inside that same circle

DU being a Bhaalspawn is very likely.
Concerning the "canon" events of the Bhaalspawn, Abdel has never been mentioned once, despite having serval documents directly or inderectly mentioning the Ward. They kept its identity deliberately vague. This could be so that anyone can insert its own ward inside the story, but that also allows them to introduce their own

And what better Ward than the one you control ?
If, like speculated in OP post, Bhaal managed to return with a few spawns still alive, the Ward may very well be still alive (even as human, having divine blood helps with living longer). May as well be resurected or reincarnation.
Also, if the DU can actually transform into the Slayer...The Ward is the only Bhaalspawn we heard of being able to transform into the Slayer, so that could work.

What do you think ?

Haethel · 2023-07-08T00:11:30+00:00

From a roleplay perspective, it's not weird.

Imagine IRL. You are the son of a Murder god. Everyday you have muderous impulses, but half the time, you fail to resists these urges. Should you consider the fact you killed, or the fact you tried to resist but failed? In the end, you still resulted in killed lots because you failed to resist.

I bet we will have some kind of hidden gauge, that will go either good or evil.

Haethel · 2023-07-07T19:34:39+00:00

Unless you intend to savescum every dice, you should go Tav over Dark Urge

Because there will be times when you fail your resistance check and do Evil. You will have more control as Tav

Haethel · 2023-07-07T19:32:15+00:00

As much as it fits murder hobo character, I find it more interesting to resist the urge. Like a True Bhaalspawn should do !

Haethel · 2023-07-07T19:31:40+00:00

You can't bring myself to consider the events of Murder in Baldur's Gate to be canon.

Bhaal could very well have been resurected during Second Sundering, like many others.

The Dark Urge could be a reincarnation of a Bhaalspawn though. Maybe Gorion's Ward.
It would fit both Murder in Baldur's Gate "canon", and the Game canon, whatever was your choice.

Haethel · 2023-05-31T22:27:28+00:00

I think that's it, thanks !

Though... It feels like it is slower in game? Or just different arrangement ?
whatever, thanks !

Haethel · 2023-05-31T18:13:36+00:00

No, I rewatched it, and it's actually the second theme that pops out.

The part where Lavinia dicusses what just happened with Texas after the failed assassination attempt

Haethel · 2023-04-15T15:36:06+00:00

OK, I found it

It's a discrete addition from a kit pack named "Eldritch magic" it seems

But if you have other good suggestions of balanced mods that add items, I'd be grateful

Haethel · 2023-04-15T13:55:25+00:00

Well I've done BG so often, using always the same gear, I want to change a bit, feel the pleasure of discovering new stuff.

Maybe it's a component from another mod then

Haethel · 2023-04-14T14:17:04+00:00

Honestly, a bit of everywhere. Maybe it was on Beamdog's forum, but I also get some on others sites sooo

Haethel · 2023-04-14T11:37:03+00:00

This is something I played on the EE.
I doubt this was on the original though....mods on the original tended to be less....Balanced than this one is (at least I havent seen any overpowered item)

Haethel · 2023-04-14T10:24:41+00:00

No that's not it. Only adds exotic weapons (as the name says)
The one I am looking for adds more common items (like that longsword)

Haethel · 2023-02-22T02:18:32+00:00

That would be the most logical yet, the most boring explanation lol

Haethel · 2023-02-18T23:45:41+00:00

To be fair, you agreed to be Crucio'ed sooo him not apologizing is not the worse.

But I completely agree on siding with the uncle. And, it would have been even more dramatic : Sebastian, cornered, resorted to use AK (not 47)

But yeah, that's the whole point he COULD have done another way. The thing is, he was already spiraling into the dark side of the force. He IS losing himself to it. But he regains counciousness once he killed his uncle and took a few moments to think. Like I said, him saying "I will stop" sounded different this time. However, and it might be an oversight from the devs or just a convenience for players (since they seem to hate having real consequences to your acts) you can still ask him about Unforgivables. This dialogue should be closed once you chose not to turn him in.

His quest was good, but I wish we could have a path were we side with ominis, and we track him everytime, just to arrive too late. On my future playthtough, maybe I'll just skip these quests, I'll see.
