The progression of each of the acts’ storylines in BG3 is insane because it’s just like
Act 1: There’s a bunch of goblin cultists trying to kill some druids because they believe in a different deity, kill them so the refugees can leave safely, or turn on the druids and refugees if you want to play as a bad guy
Act 2: A bunch of people have been kidnapped so you need to venture through the British countryside of Perpetual Night to kill this lich with the help of his lesbian daughter and her demigod girlfriend in order to revive an immortal child that was banished to the Shadow Realm
Act 3: A gnome terrorist organisation will help you blow up a giant robotic policeman so you can go beat the shit out of an Archduke after you find out his anaemic spy’s underlings have been murdering people from the local brothel before you go to soufflé a giant psychic brain deity so everyone doesn’t turn into evil squid furries.
Gortash: From now on, we'll be using codenames. You can address me as Eagle One.
Gortash: Lady Jannath codename - "Been There, Done That."
Gortash: Durge is "Currently Doing that."
Gortash: Orin is "It Happened Once in a Dream."
Gortash: Franc codename - "If I Had to Pick a Dude"
Gortash: Ketheric is...Eagle Two.
Ketheric: Oh thank Myrkul.
We made some choices, but this was *always* going to be this version of Gale's plan all along, it's his way of godhood *without* having to deal with Mystra.
you would think maybe the animorphs would switch up the typical morphs they use now that they know that the yeerks know who they are but i guess it doesnt matter if every fight is essentially to the death (or very near to it)
(IC from my Tav Cedric, the druid) "Sorry, I've never seen a creature like you before" The high elf realised that he is staring at the drider for too long. But the druid just can't look away, and his violet eyes are filled with curiosity and admiration instead of disgust or fear. "And I can see the Towers already. Thank you for guiding us safely through these lands"
“Creature?” The drider’s legs clicked as he whirled his massive body around to face the druid. “We are a soldier for our Queen, not some...sideshow delight for the morbidly curious. Keep your focus on serving our Majesty, True Soul. We are of little significance compared to Her power.” Kar’niss tipped his chin upward when Cedric thanked him of all things. He appeared confused and bewildered by such behavior, not accustomed to praise or positive feedback from his peers. He responded as only his fragmented mind could. “Do not thank us, thank the protection Majesty’s light provides. It is only through Her mercy and Her strength that we will prevail over the heretics. We are superior, we are the Absolute.” He puffed out his chest in a display of pride while keeping the famed lantern clutched close to his person. “We hear our Queen, she calls to us. Yes, sweet Majesty, we are coming.” Kar’niss’ attention was snatched by the ever aggressive voices knocking around in his head and he took the opportunity to follow the siren call of his Goddess.
I started my first Durge run the other day where I make all the worst decisions you could possibly make - anyway, it brought me to a scene where Minthara tries to knife you in the middle of the night because of reasons I can't really remember but the interesting part that stuck with me is when she mentions that the Absolute unblocked her to tell her not to kill you and I was just wondering who the heck did that?
Was it the Absolute itself? Most likely, right? Because you're the "anomaly" ... but seeing as it was still somewhat under control at that point...
