i dont mean to just be bitching about baldurs gate right now-- i am actually enjoying it-- but an issue i am feeling rn in terms of writing, and i am not sure if thisll change as i go on (i am not far at all) is your companions not really reacting to some pretty seriously choices you make

minor but not huge spoilers. at the very early part i started making actions towards a mind flayer, that after multiple steps (like reading its mind, trying to get closer, trying to detach) no one was doing anything, they just watched. and after those multiple actions, i died. like, my character was standing there for at least a minute or more, was not moving and got closer, and everyone just let me. and vague spoiler, later on there was someone who was supposed to help me but instead tricked and poisoned me-- there were multiple steps of conversation and i really would have expected an interjection bc the thing was a plan to help *all* of us, but no one questioned this persons method that she did not explain at all, they just stood there

they have piped up a few times! but im just surprised they didnt pop up in those far more dangerous and consequential moments. like maybe they should have had their own passive checks to react differently at least, idk.
