Crazy how much I enjoyed this character and just the Hag concept in general in this game. Voice actor seemed to have fun with the role.
question: do we ever meet her sister? she's writing to an 'M' in Baulder's gate in act 1 but she's the only Hag I meet in act 3 (I usually spare her but take a clump of hair). I wonder if I kill her in act 1 does she show in 3, or is it 'M'? or do we just never see the sister.
Sadly they didn't give her a proper coven in Act 3, but I agree that Ethel was a fun character and both her voice acting and the way she held herself and gestured was really good. Probably my favorite antagonist in the game after Raphael.
I'd say it's flipped for me. haven't beat act 3 yet even tho i have 300 hours in the game. I just keep making new characters. did get to the house of hope and did that whole thing. really enjoyed the fight. eventually I'll choose not to frick Ralph over, but I just can't no matter the playthrough use the tadpoles or go along with the emperor. His character annoys me after the reveal and he comes off like a controlling girlfriend.
I will say the scene with him relaxing shirtless was beyond silly.
House of hope fight was tight with the music
yeah it definitely was. Ralph singing was kino
The only downside was no hag sex with the dark urge.
kinda wish you could side with Hag in a satisfying way in act 1. I haven't found it if it's there.
>I wonder if I kill her in act 1 does she show in 3
Yes, she does.
If you made it to act 3 and dealt with her, you will know exactly why.
What I'm wondering on the other hand, is what does she do if you let her go with her original plan or maybe don't interact with her at all in act 1.
That's a good question. I've got a DURGE Drow now that I'll probably do that with; keep Ethel's hair and let her keep the girl to see how act 3 plays out.
My party put on the masks in this mission. Everyone got turned into a pawn except my Paladin who, true to character, got a roll to save based on his faith and won. I was still about to reload (how could I possibly proceed with one character), but said 'frick it, let's see what's ahead' and went in alone. Got to Mayrina's cage and the Hag showed up and activated her thralls. My only hope was knocking her into the abyss; I moved into the right angle, nocked a Roaring Thunder arrow, and prayed it would work. It did: the hag was blown into the abyss, and everything was saved by my intrepid paladin.
It's stuff like this that elevates this game from just 'great' to an all-time classic for me. I'll be thinking about this game for years to come.
that whole dungeon is just insanely fun. Finding that hidden door with the mask on that lead to Booal was incredibly satisfying.
mfw i missed the fish cave
Sauce in this image? RIS gives me nothing.
You need to start recognizing AI slop
Yeah, the hag quest really pulled me in.
Shame the act 3 plays completely different due to being set in a big city and also how the quests turn out.
>big bad robot guard tells me to "beep beep come and see our mighty lord"
>others keep saying "big robots bad, you should get rid of them somehow if you want to have a chance at Gortash"
>skip the keep then and go to the factory instead
>turns out there is yet another faction of gnomes, who are also all gay, that makes the robots involuntarily
>go to the underwater prison
>save all the prisoners
>get back to the factory
>unfortunately, those in the basement die
>game ignores the prisoners I saved and claims all the Gondians are now dead except the blind gay gnome with black daughter that I saved, but he cries about her being dead
>just go with it and head to the keep
>everyone hostile
>Gortash nowhere to be seen
>find some scaffolding that gets me up in his room, think what a weird way to get to him
>enter the room
>his guards aggro alone, lure them out of the room and kill one by one
>approach Gorthash
>no dialogue, no intro, he just attacks
>kill him
>no cutscene at all, just completed quests
>also found a pipe down by the water, leading into secret room where a dragon is supposed to slumber
>was expecting it will have something to do with Laezel, but it advances Wyll's quest
>in the quest stages, there are now mentions of his dad being dead and shit
Btw the hag quest in act 3 somewhat broke for me as well to a degree, again, because I was being precautious and not just walking into what seemed like an obvious trap.
You are a weird dude.
Wyll's dad dying is bullshit. When I went to save the gnomes he was already dead. You have to talk to Mizora beforehand or else he will start dead.
Act 1 is so good.
Idk what the frick happened with Act 2 and 3
Take off the mask, petal
I hate cheap characters designed to be hated. Joffrey from GoT was so poorly written to me. Ethel was an example of it done right. Hated her so much.
Joffrey makes sense in the capacity that he’s a mimic of the mad king, which is what makes everyone more or less skeptical of his position on the throne
Sure he would push his weight but would often get pushed back harder than he was capable of doing but he was no less a fledgling tyrant
I can fix her
hagge
>Hmm I was just utterly humiliated, my promised newborn meal stolen from me and the hair ripped from my scalp in what I thought was the safety of my Bog house lair, how do I proceed...
>oh I know! I'll move into the heart of Baldurs gate and take over a tavern lol and I'll kidnap a child but not mind control the mother that I could easily have done and then reveal myself to the dude that owned me at the slightest pushback
I’ve given up and learned to enjoy. A sprawling game will never be tight. Frick a book or show will never be tight.
nope, cut content
Is there a way to get her to help you in the final battle? The hag recover-rers did jack shit for me in the final battle even though the cleric claimed that she would be there when needed.
>get a debuff against HAGS
>there's only two fights with only one having any kind of difficulty
remember signing yearbooks "HAGS" for the low effort shitpost back in the day
M is a Minthara, moron
No it isn't.
Gay old hag for sure
