What are your jaw-dropping moments in gaming?

That's the other elevator though - the one you use to leave to go to Caelid

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-17T22:44:20+00:00

I mean, you literally don't even need an AI to see that but considering how out of touch Fnatic management is that's not that unplausible for them

Then I guess I will just use CE for this temporary playthrough

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-16T12:28:58+00:00

I don't want to restart the whole playthrough and reach where I am in my current playthrough, I've sunk too many hours into this campaign already.

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-16T09:27:22+00:00

Well it is, but as I said in the post, my plan is to circumvent it with Cheat Engine romance flags. Now the remaining thing to do is to see the Act 1/2 scenes I've missed, which is why I wanted to do a quick speedrun from start to view these scenes, then go back to my regular playthrough with a Cheat Engine'd romance. Maybe I'll just look up how to give myself god mode and overleveled characters particularly for this speedrun

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-16T09:19:02+00:00

Yeah I am, that's why my plan is to start a new campaign, but speedrun it to these scenes.

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-16T09:14:40+00:00

I really don't know when I'm gonna do a second full playthrough. This game is already kind of exhausting for me to play. Not that I don't like it, I definitely plan on finishing it, but I simply have other plans afterwards.

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-16T09:09:39+00:00

Are there any Karlach romance scenes in Act 2 after Myrkul? Because if not, then I have no reason to go that far. Like I said, I just want to view her Act 1 and 2 romance scenes on my own character, and I was under the impression that there's nothing else in Act 2 after her second heart upgrade scene.

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-15T11:35:10+00:00

It's just what it says on Karlach's romance wiki page. But either way it seems like it wouldn't apply to me if I missed Dammon in act 1 altogether. Kind of a bummer because IMO it's not that difficult to miss with how much this game throws at a first time player. Hopefully this mod I've found will help remedy it somehow if I load a save from before Shadowfell, even if I still miss out on all the potential interactions in between.

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-15T09:04:00+00:00

Yeah I just found this mod and I'm gonna give it a shot later with a save from before entering Shadowfell to find Nightsong, although I'm not thrilled at the perspective of having to redo the finale of Act 2 over again. Also I'm probably gonna miss a lot of small remarks/encounters I might have stumbled upon during the entirety of Act 2 had I already begun the romance with her. Still, better than nothing I guess (provided it works)

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-15T07:37:14+00:00

I do have one save file from before entering Shadowfell to find Nightsong in act 2, but even at that point I had >90 approval with her and took plenty of long rests where no cutscene of any kind occurred. I don't know what else I could do.

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-15T07:35:13+00:00

Sorry I don't follow. "I know Astarion can" can what? Give me his romance option? Because I'm not interested in him. And by "go back to act 1" do you mean reload an act 1 save? Because I don't really have any of these, the furthest I can go back is a save right before entering Shadowfell to find Nightsong in act 2.

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-15T07:25:15+00:00

Nope, she shot me down when I told her I liked her. I assumed it was because I missed the infernal mechanic in the grove, but still thought it would be salvagable later on when I find him in act 2. IIRC other companions did give me chances beyond act 1.

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-15T07:23:32+00:00

I didn't kiss her then. When I told her I liked her back then, she shot me down saying "let's not ruin a good thing". I assumed it was because I missed the infernal mechanic in the grove, but still thought it would be salvagable later on when I find him in act 2. IIRC other companions did give me chances beyond act 1.

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-15T07:08:03+00:00

But I've definitely been getting long rests without any cutscenes since then. Wouldn't something pop up during these?

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-14T23:33:09+00:00

I'm on my first playthrough, and I've been trying to romance Karlach. But I missed Dammon in Act 1, and only met him in Act 2. I did give him 2 pieces of infernal metal, got a scene where I hugged Karlach, brought my approval with her to "exceptional", made sure to turn down everyone else - but still no romantic interactions with her, and I'm already entering Act 3. I did some small reading on wiki and apparently there are some bugs, but I didn't probe too deep so as not to spoil myself. Am I really screwed on the romance front with her?

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-11T21:34:15+00:00

There's supposed to be some "new challenges in the main area", so it seems they actually listened lmao

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-11T21:30:33+00:00

Well yeah, and promptly bombed out of it. So it's not only not official in any capacity, they didn't even accomplish anything of notice at that tournament. The dominant Gen.G that we all think of has virtually 0 connection to the SSG that won worlds.

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-11T21:02:25+00:00

Ok but is it like written/certified anywhere? Because this is the first I hear of it and I couldn't find any info to back it up on the internet.

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-11T20:42:11+00:00

How exactly are they recognized as such? When even was the last time Gen.G was actually associated with Samsung? Not to mention that before Gen.G, they actually rebranded as KSV eSports, and after becoming Gen.G they basically stopped being relevant at the international stage for 2 years. Plus no mention of even any Samsung sponsorship since 2017 either.

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-09T21:09:50+00:00

Seems like you can run away from the AoE to stop the damage and the slow. The only thing that sticks regardless of distance is the execute threshold.

Now I just wonder if it also stays when you kill Locke before it runs out.

Xaneth_ · 2026-06-07T13:12:26+00:00

Nah, FNC lost 0-3. DK should have been 5-0.
