prostitute.
>if Gale turns into a mind flayer to destroy the brain she reverts the ceremorphosis
The ending was pretty clumsily written in general. For the whole game everyone's trying to cure themselves from becoming a mindflayer but in the end a lot of the characters are completely fine with becoming a braineating tentacle monster. It's pretty weird.
There is an ending possible where you side with Orpheus and nobody becomes a squid. Gale blows himself up and skips the entire final fight. His soul goes to Mystra, all team members are cured.
>but detonating in act 2 does not kill the tadpoles
Diring act 3 the Elder Brain has absorbed the crown and evolved into a Netherbrain. It was also not being controlled by the Dead Three's champions, so it's connection with illithids was much fuller and it's death... deadlier to the tadpoles.
>For the whole game everyone's trying to cure themselves from becoming a mindflayer
The annoying part for me was how impossible it was to cure the condition
>priests and druids
>ah sorry my dude it's beyond my magic skill to fix you
>doctors
>no I can't operate that bug out of your head
>Elminster himself
>that tadpole is protected by super duper magic and I'm just a 20th level wizard sorry
>the gods of the setting
>we don't care lol
>killing yourself to kill the tadpole and using resurrection magic to come back
>the thing is back alive with you
>your companions can't pick it out of your corpse even though it works on NPCs
ok frick me I guess
Originally we should've been able to get rid of the bug like 1/2 or 2/3 into the game but then rewrites happened and we got this moronic shit instead.
I think it was fine during act 1 since it motivated the player and all characters to look for a solution but removing the parasite should have become a real option during act 2 or 3 since by then you already have a bigger evil to fight against and don't need the tadpole as your sole drive for adventure anymore
But Aeris dying and you not being able to revive her with a phoenix down is okay because it's featured in a Japanese game, right?
No that was a bit silly but at least it only contradicted a single game mechanic, it's the equivalent of not being able to the suicide-revive trick I outlined because that's a purely mechanical solution to the problem
BG3 is worse because it also locks you out of any and all story driven solutions to the issue
Oh boy here we go again with arm chair criticism about writing quality of a game with a lot of story.
>Larian
>writing quality
>god cares about her chosen
>god doesnt care about random guy
No way!
mystra is a well know prostitute goddess
it's because illithids don't have a dick
Raphael ending spoilers
Frick Raphael in the deal we made he promised to stay away my plane of existence then in the end he gets all wienery and says he'll come knocking on our door soon
You trusted a cambion? You know they aren't even true devils, right? You're not a fricking moron, are you?
I expected it to backfire on me but not just "hehehe i lied even though it was on the contract"
The only way to deal with devils is killing the bastards and gloating over their dead bodies. In fact that fight was missing a final cutscene of him dying miserably and realizing who killed him. A worm infected adventurer lmao.
Felt pretty off that he just dies and that's that
Honestly, the lore around the goddess of magic is one of the things I hate the most about the Forgotten Realms. She's a Mary Sue. I really dislike it when mortals are risen to the ranks of gods. It's almost never earned. Only good lore was when she was b***h slapped to death.
This. Ironically, the only mortal who actually deserved godhood based on their dedication and efficacy was Karsus.
I thought that the guy who was an adventurer buddy of Cyric deserved it. Don't remember what was his name, but I think Cyric murdered him in the books.
I like how battlemaster's disarm makes myrkul's spooky skelington weak as frick.
is bg3 canonically after nwn2/motb? at which point your old PC is now myrkul because he ate him or something?
WotC already retconned all the old Three Shitters lore.
Gale is the Chosen of Mystra, so Ao will overlook his god tilting the scale for him.
Basically Ao has some really fickle takes on just what constitutes gods interfering with mortals.
Also Gale just blows his ass up to deal with what is a massive headache even for the gods, so Ao is probably more like Lmao in this case. Even after demoting the Dumbass Three they still manage to just keep making trouble.
When the Dead Three somehow return, what do you think their next awful idea will be?
It will be something along the lines of deliberately empowering their mortal enemies in some 12d chess scheme that predictably backfires.
It's the only way to one up eradicating the souls of potential worshippers while doing practically nothing to promote their own worship
I think you can turn just about anybody including Karlach who's on a countdown to death anyway
lol meant this for
Why is she shilled up as the hottest thing in existence when she's just average looking and somewhat of a butthole?
Wait, that's a thing? Frick me now I gotta bring Gale on my githyanki romancing Lae'zel run so I can keep Orpheus from turning into a mindflayer, thanks anon.
