#in retrospect should' ve made andy's oath to tyr not helm

[grapecaseschoices]

I've decided to cheat and play Andy's bg3 run even though I have fifty tavs still in the beginning/middle of act two [and two still in act one]. Alas! Curiosity kilt me.

I love how - I say like I [who am his writer] didn't predict this - straight up Andy doesn't have time for any of it. He searches as far as his eyes can see, he will stop and loot but he won't scavange the entire area. I think it might differ a TAD when he's not in imminent danger. But Nautloid stuff begs one to run. So there's no stopping to read slates or books or whatever. But I have him take them as he goes, because that feels Andy to me. The information is good to know -- but not NOW. He's pragmatic about it. His looting is the same. He doesn't look for every body lying on the ground but what he can reach, in the moment. I feel he won't have too much but what he needs - and maybe a bit then some to sell - in his inventory. And he'll probably focus on using money than supplies/equipment to buy stuff he needs when it is time to barter.

I feel that's gonna leave him kind of poor in this [and also missing out on lore needed for puzzles]. So clearly Gale will NEED to be in his party because I feel Gale is a hoarder. Then again -- I don't think Andy .... would do what was needed to get Gale. So. *insert grimace emoji*

Like, I had thought for sure he would find the brain in that dude's head and maim it, then make use of it. Because that is such a Klaus/Marcel thing to do and they inspo Andy. And I think if he had SEEN the situation in front of him he would have moved forward with that. But all he had going for that circumstance were the words "we are trapped". He doesn't know what he's going in with. And while technically not know who "we" is and if "trapped" is true could an opening for future vulnerability, the more pressing situation is the sinking dimension-hopping ship. [Which is a note for ME who once thought andy was an intuitive rather than a sensing, bc of reasons. lmao. he ain't. clearly. i mean we shall see but idts]

Fun fact, he didn't even HEAR shadowheart so there was no opportunity to turn his back on her [Like I thought he would]. He just ran closer to the front of the ship. Because the focus is getting out of the ship. [I wonder if this'll change the interaction with first meeting Shadowheart at the beach/the crypt.]

[Another fun fact. That was my shortest EVER 'wake up in pod, head to helm' run with a Tav ever. Goodness. Collecting companions will be so much fun with this one. She says. Sarcastically.]
