Well, I completed the game. Oracle/Angel, orbital strike spammer.
The secret ending wasn't that hard to get except for three things.
finding the secret prisoner in the angel's prison,
buying the dretch immediatelyin the slave markets and attacking Threshold in the exact week. I've heard it used to be far harder when
demon lords only dropped crystals when finished off with an midnight arrow, not just shot anytime in the fight.
Regill was a lot of fun. Making the ruthless order fanatic a gnome was a stroke of genius.
Lmao WotR has two already in the prologue, one black one an orc
Very on the nose. Also lol at the zealous holy-warrior of the crusading Goddess of valor, justice, and honor marrying a troon. Seems like that would be more of a demonic thing.
Yes, the first 30 min was horribly "modern audience",
This line was apparently persuasive enough to get a crusader to defect.
One good thing about Aeon is
it allows you to 'undo' unnatural things, which
strangely enough, ends their relationship
I hate Ember far more than Seelah, for being an annoying Reddit atheist and being literally wrong about the Gods not intervening in mortal life. I always like to kill her outright by allowing her to be killed by the crusaders or later on if in an evil playthrough
Ember is too nice and innocent for me to really hate. She's basically just a little kid, you could chalk up most of what she says as her just not fully understanding what's going on.
I liked Ember, but maybe its because of my fond memories of BG2's Aerie and RT's Cassia.
Managed to make a traumatised womanchild mindwarping witch interesting without accepting her worldview.
Wasn't in my main party except for her special quests, I didn't know how to make her work.
IMO Seelah shouldnt even be a paladin
she is definitely not lawfull character, she acts like a chaotic one most of the time
oh and if we are on that topic why the fuck Lann is a monk? Was there master splinter in those severs to fucking teach him? He is also acts more like Neutral good instead of lawfull.
She even backtalks her goddess in one scene.
That being said her quest is fun, and she's far from a idealised character.
Lann needed to be lawful to be a monk. D&D/PF's rules are stupid.
Encountered Nenio and instantly disliked her more than any other character I've encountered so far. I killed her. I've read by doing so I miss out on an annoying dungeon, a cool boss fight and some redundant loot/xp as well as making the secret ending harder to get, but I'll save such shenanigans for a second playthrough. The fucking autistic uwu fox girl will NOT be accompanying me on a grand crusade.
Nenio is peak reddit, including the furfag stuff. Worse of all she's the only mage party member.
I might be one of the few people to have enjoyed the dungeon. The puzzles weren't too hard and the art direction and exploration was great.
I didn't like the dominoes quest though, they should have provided the pieces by the puzzles themselves.
I mean, even beyond the performances sucking shit, I just imagine the nightmare of writing for these things when every line has to be finalized years and years in advance with absolutely no wiggle-room because that would require a costly reshoot. Having to condense everything in the first place to cut back on recording costs, and then also if it comes out in playtesting that something isn't really explained well or doesn't flow - well, sucks to suck, but you can't really go in there and spruce it up because it's too late.
This.
And it makes branching stories a lot more expensive to implement. Maybe AI voices might be the solution, but currently are far inferior to a good VA.
The Kenarbras Fair dlc was fully voice acted, but it was far more railroaded then the main part of the game.
