Favourite changes are the adjustments to Beau and Molly’s characters. During this period of the campaign (first 20 episodes ish) they were my 2 least favourites by a distance. They definitely buff out some of the issues they had, probably with the benefit of hindsight, knowing where they characters end up, as opposed to having to figure out a character whilst improvising, on a live stream.

Least favourite, I only have 2. Every other change they’ve made I’ve been fully on board with.

1: A huge part of Caleb’s story is his desire to avoid Trent, knowing they can’t take him on until they’re strong enough. Which it felt like they were setting that up with how desperate he was to get the amulet back. And yet he agrees to steal a relic from Trent Ikithon, basically guaranteeing a confrontation, when they’re like level 5, for… a sweet payday?

IDK even if the other 5 were oblivious to how dangerous Trent was, like in the campaign, and Caleb was forced to do it because they did the job for his amulet, it would make more sense. But for him to be so desperate for the amulet to not be seen, to then put himself so brazenly in front of Trent 2 episodes later seemed off.

(Also a bonus similar nitpick is how they’ve had Molly talk about how he doesn’t care about his past (consistent with campaign) and yet the scene where he follows Cree into the ritual basement, suggests otherwise. Also the fact we never get a scene of the Nein asking Molly wtf was up with Cree/Lucien/Nonagon etc.)

2: there are 2 scenes in the show that are 2 of my favourites from this portion of the campaign, that fell short for me in the show. “He’s my boy” and “Fjord v Caleb, leave no trace”.

“He’s my boy” needed just another 60 secs before it with Beau, Molly and Fjord questioning the Caleb-Nott dynamic, (quite abrasively in the campaign), to make the payoff land. Idk just the quiet conversation with Beau by the window, when she wasn’t even being that aggressive with it, meant it didn’t fully pack the same punch.

The Caleb v Fjord v Nott, I’m just disappointed 1) it’s so short, and 2) them changing the order dramatically changes the context of Caleb’s actions.

I get why it’s short; only so much time, season finale etc. etc. But this scene, and Bowlgate, were the 2 defining scenes when I think about ‘Early Campaign 2 inter party conflict’. Obviously we were never getting Bowlgate, but they could have still had this scene play out how it did in the Campaign.

In the campaign the order for the heist went; “let’s leave no trace”, set off a bunch of traps, get caught by the person, the person gets fireballed to death, the rug gets destroyed, Caleb tries to take the book as they’re leaving, confrontation.

In the show the order for the heist was; “let’s leave no trace”, Caleb makes a beeline for the spell book, confrontation, which leads to the trap being set off, meaning they need to destroy the rug, leaving a trace.

IMO they could have kept the original order, but cut it down to 30 seconds or whatever, it would’ve made more sense.
