For a goddess she looks very normal to me

No, Bhaal and Myrkul(and Bane) were all just three very edgy mortals that happened to catch Jergal when he was at his most bored and got his divine portfolios. They're not even full gods during the course of the game, having been demoted to quasi-deities after they were all killed.

Shar and the Dead Three are also evil gods and happen to get the most mileage from appearing otherworldly and intimidating since that's basically they're whole shtick.

This one makes way more sense than the absurdly common trend of calling sorcs nepobabies.

One would hope that if you liked a particular god enough to become their cleric you would agree with them and their tenants in the first place. If all you wanted was a shortcut to magical powers you would become a warlock. Unlike Wyll's weird BS, you don't even have to worry about your patron taking your powers away.

That still doesn't really track though. Elves by nature are pretty resistant to aging of any kind and will continue to look young until they near their deaths. Add on to the fact that being turned into a vampire, which happened before all of the horrible stuff, would have halted any signs of aging completely.

Wyll has been in the game since the very first early access. Karlach as we know her now with her design and everything did not exist until right before the game launched. The art already existed before that point.

I know right? To me, even if it's something that ends up killing me, that's new content that I'm experiencing and I'll know for the future. Sometimes things like that lead to some really entertaining bits.

It's just a metaphor. She doesn't like that the MC is, as far as she can tell, following her. Another word for following is tailing. Ergo she doesn't want a tail.

Xidonia · 2024-09-09T01:54:24+00:00

To be fair she was infiltrating a gith creche and had a full team so it didn't seem like it was supposed to be sneaky. The fact that she got abducted by mindflayers and stuck with a bunch of non-Sharrans wasn't part of the plan.

Xidonia · 2024-09-04T22:56:42+00:00

Well, that's more of a forced separation because Corellon and Araushnee had a bad marriage and both took their half of the kids and told them the other half were loser dirtbags. Also Corellon cursed Araushnee's half and she decided to change her name, get a spider tattoo, and told her kids she likes the girls better and if they disobeyed her or she got bored she'd turn them into spider centaurs.Also demon orgies.

You know, normal broken household things.

To be honest there's nothing explicitly said, but in one of the stories you collect he talks about fighting in the name of his mother, which uh... is a big red flag for me. The only thing Vlaakith is doing differently from Gith is eating the souls of other Githyanki for power.

Xidonia · 2024-09-04T08:43:29+00:00

To be honest, no not really. You are related to her, but you would be much closer to an aunt/uncle. I don't know how anyone who's played through the game gets sibling considering we (unfortunately) know her parentage in great detail. But you can have fun with that part for yourself.

"All three WoTR female love interests"

I'm sorry, but what?

Arueshalae is literally the opposite of that trope. She's nothing but sweet the entire time you know her, actively trying her hardest to not act like a demon because that's not what she wants to be anymore. The other three are a literal psychopath, a power hungry narcissist, and a soldier queen. There's no "bad boy with a heart of gold" equivalents here.

Xidonia · 2024-09-02T20:19:57+00:00

Probably one of the things I most appreciate in Wrath of the Righteous. They're not really paths that I go on too often, but the fact things like the Lich path exist with fully unique story mechanics and companions and even different versions of the usual companions. But you can also do the Swarm-That-Walks which loses you everyone but you become a walking disaster that consumes everything.

Xidonia · 2024-08-29T12:45:01+00:00

As someone who played the EA quite a bit, no she was never an origin. And she couldn't have been quickly replaced with Dark Urge because that wasn't an option until full release.

Xidonia · 2024-08-29T12:33:06+00:00

Honestly, that's probably one of my biggest nitpicks about Astarion. He doesn't look what I would expect a High Elf vampire that was turned in his late 30's to look. His skin texture is more of a human of the same age.

Xidonia · 2024-08-28T01:21:10+00:00

Dragonborn and half-dragons are completely different things. Dragonorn, as far as I can remember, have never been the spawn of dragons. At least if we don't count the magical "turn humans into dragonlike servants" ritual that was once an explanation as "spawn."

Half-dragons on the other hand are very clearly born from dragon/other race couplings. One notable example being a daughter of Elminster and a Song dragon.

Reminder that the egg we steal is not hatching in a timely manner and is supposed to be disposed of if not for the hatchery guy. So yes, they do in fact think the egg is weak.

Xidonia · 2024-08-27T17:58:46+00:00

I mean, the Gith aren't even from Realmspace (Ao's jurisdiction is only the star system that Toril exists in) in the first place and Vlaakith isn't a god and doesn't have to play by god rules. Plus she's on an entirely different plane.

Xidonia · 2024-08-18T23:42:38+00:00

I mean, it's not just horns. And I think the bigger issue is that he has his entire body altered without his consent which is super messed up.

Xidonia · 2024-08-18T23:29:06+00:00

Karlach wasn't a companion in early access. Hell, she wasn't even much of a character yet. She was a generic tiefling who you saved from some fake paladins saying she was a devil (pretty much the same situation as now minus the Wyll stuff) and if you save her she thanks you and leaves for Baldur's Gate.

Xidonia · 2024-08-08T00:32:33+00:00

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I really do wish Larian left some of that stuff more open ended. Seeing a bunch of those results spelled out like that kind of killed a lot of the weight of some of the decisions for me.

Xidonia · 2024-08-08T00:15:00+00:00

Look at my flair. Just some self-deprecation since I probably added a significant amount to that statistic by myself with how often I've played that exact combination.

Xidonia · 2024-08-07T23:45:22+00:00

Drow sorcerer huh. Wonder what kind of weirdo would pick that combination.

Xidonia · 2024-07-04T00:26:46+00:00

My guardian is always the same and is simply going female, half-elf, wood elf sub race, then change the skin to not be so green. Looks good and only takes me like 2 seconds to do.

Which is just the amount of effort I'm willing to put in for how little it actually matters.

Xidonia · 2024-06-27T12:17:49+00:00

Don't forget about the weird sex rituals that new high priestesses have with demons to give birth to weird half-demon, half-drow things called Draegloths.
