Karlach the SECOND you stand still lol

Volume up!

Other things I missed, apparently:

- A town was on fire and I guess everyone died? Oops.

- Zevlor in the mindflayer colony. RIP, my dude.

- I guess I could’ve just knocked out Minthara instead of killing her?

- The drow twins (I mean I didn’t *miss* them, I definitely talked to them, but Gale said no and in this house we respect boundaries!)

100+ hours into this game and I only just *now* discovered I could’ve had a dog and owlbear cub in my camp???

Lae'zel's character and her entire situation at the beginning of the game becomes so much more funny when you find out she's 22. It makes so much sense. Imagine you're 22 and you're exposed to this dangerous toxin or chemical or something - but not to worry, you learnt that this can be easily fixed, you just need to dial 911 real quick. Common knowledge. Everyone knows that. You learnt that in kindergarten, it's up there with fire alarm drills.

But the people you're stuck with have no concept of modern medicine and when you say "let's go to the hospital" they will say shit like "i think they kill people at the hospital" and "we should ask this swamp lady" or "this guy over there told me about this homoeopathic healer kind of guy but he got abducted" or "this random bard wants to help" and "I'm not going to dial 911 because I don't want the government to know my home address" or "maybe we should consider a deal with Satan". And then a bunch of them KEEP consuming the chemical because it makes them "stronger". One guy might explode for unrelated reasons. You have a few days before this situation is getting critical and suddenly they're solving crime and doing general charity for the community.

And FOR SOME REASON you still try to help these idiots and you STILL want to help them get the cure even though they all keep insisting the "doctors" at the "hospital" might try to "kill them" and they don't have insurance. And you keep telling them to just. go. to. the. hospital. before the time runs out and you all die very horribly of a very treatable condition.

And also you're 22 in a foreign country and you're responsible for shepherding this gaggle of idiots who are all ranging anywhere from 24 to 240 years old.

Still puttering away on this in between comic work…

Having a blast drawing all my new friends

Shrieking “wait, WHAT” repeatedly at higher and higher octaves at this Gale scene.

I reached a sound only dogs could hear by the time there were three of him.

The most harrowing part of this game so far has been letting Volo perform surgery on me. It was worth it in the end but my god, it felt like the game was trying to make me crawl out of my skin.

Apparently the answer was “1) don’t make him drink a drow’s funky blood and 2) ask to just be friends.”

When I tell you I fistpumped when he said “I’ve never had a friend before” and held my Tav’s hand—mark my words, I’m gonna win this game through the power of FRIENDSHIP.

I made Lae’zel turn her back on her goddess and slaughter her people and now we’re best friends, meanwhile I tell Astarion I think he’s pretty and that we should like, help orphans sometimes, and his approval is two degrees above lukewarm.

Murderbot says do NOT touch me ever except for ART who can lean on me in the feed if it wants.

Options for talking to Halsin seem to be:

1. Flirt

2. Flirt?

3. A neutral but friendly resp—sorry, I’ve just been informed that also counts as flirting.

Halsin is probably somewhere in this godforsaken Goblin camp wondering why I’m taking my sweet time letting Abdirak whack me with a mace instead of rescuing him.
