Very tempted to go through the hassle of exploring Raphael 3d model just to render him making a cunty pouty face

BG3 playthrough: where we finally reach act 2

We did it! We reached act 2! I fell a bit behind writing my summaries, so this post is like ... 2 or 3 sessions at once. And I probably forgot important stuff, but who cares, this is mainly for myself.

To start: I knew that "the battle in Last Light Inn" would be the most important thing to happen in this game, but I didn't expect to get smacked in the face by it

Anyways, Isobel is fine (after a reload because we were absolutely unprepared for that).

Jaheira, could you please NOT try to spike my drink? Please.

His Majesty!! Hiss, I say, hiss. I did fuck up his interaction though, so no approval from Astarion :(

My butler visited me again, wanting me to kill ... riiiight, Isobel. How about NO, fucker. (Astarion approves of not killing her, for whatever reason)

Helped a tiefling child beat Raphal in fantasy chess - again, Astarion approves.

Astarion suddenly asked Raphael for help with his scars? Not sure what he's hoping for. If he needs someone who can read Infernal, why can't we just ask Karlach? Still trying to be supportive here though.

The weird ox is ... uh .. a lot like my Durge. That's interesting. His secret is safe with me, I guess? Astarion approves. Guy likes keeping secrets (as do I, I guess).

In another episode of camp drama, Lae'zel wanted to battle my partner's wizard because that's the official gith mating ritual. Yeah, wake me up in the middle of the fucking night, I'd try to fight you too, Lae'zel.

My partner just got themselves a cute gith girlfriend!!

Shadowheart was sad, but oddly supportive of their choice. Welp.

Speaking of "companions waking you in the middle of the fucking night to confess their feelings": Wyll suddenly came to me. I danced with him. Suddenly there's the option to kiss him, I turned my head away and OH MY GOD HE LOOKED SO SAD I'M SO SO SORRY WYLL

Literally like ":("

I will romance you in another playthrough, Wyll

Number of companions who shot me down: 2 (Astarion and Gale)

Number of companions I shot down: 2 (Gale and Wyll)

I guess we're even now?

a creepy tiefling child wanted to play, but I did not get approval from Astarion, but I should have?

Storywise not a lot happened

We did ambush the convoy, sorry Kar'niss (I think that's his name)

the pixie is an asshole and I should have reloaded because she's rude and Astarion disapproves of freeing her anyways

Rescue tieflings (again!!)

find Thaniel (because otherwise Halsin will not come with you)

at least Halsin now has his own tent ...

stumbled upon Arabella, who is now proficient in wild magic and looking for her parents

she's in camp now.

Shadowheart thinks she's so blessed by Shar!! Oh girl, you're in for a rude awakening.

Astarion doesn't want to talk a lot right now. I know that makes sense from a story perspective in act 2, but I hope he'll talk to me once I get his approval up a bit.

(Astarion, I shot down 2 guys for you, please talk to me)

He's got "siblings" though and he's kind of ... worried about them? He was hard to read in that scene, but I think it's some form of worry.

Harpers seemed to torture people, not nice. Still side-eyeing that spiked drink from Jaheira.

Tiefling Sorcerer (oder Wizard?) is very angry with me, because his two friends are missing. IIRC, your plan was to fuck off without the rest of the tieflings, do you really think that your friends wouldn't have been kidnapped if you went alone?

Who's this dude with the white raven? Why does he want to avenge random dead people? He doesn't seem very ... trustworthy.

Sharrans! Sharrans everywhere. And masonry, for some reason.

I intend to boost Astarion's approval today, let's hope it'll work. I heard drinking games are good for that.
