Me, my girlfriend, and all the random stuff she collected on our adventures

Finally got Lae'zel! I wandered a little too far while Arueshalae was alone, had to pick her up from the convoy.

With Tactician+ and us being level 3 you better believe we didn't beat them. I had Karlach pick up her corpse and then after we resurrected Karlach we were able to resurrect Lae'zel 😅

I started a full evil game a while back, with the intent to get the Sins of the Father trophy. The plan was to do the whole game without recruiting any companions because I knew having any of them around would make it too hard for me to stay evil. Unfortunately the game had other plans and because of a bug Jaheira ended up joining me even though I told her not to. So now it's just me and Jaheira, it has definitely made it harder to stay evil, but it has lead to such hilarious moments as this.

"Amusing"

I just realized we never did a photoshoot for Gale!

[shadowheartwhisperer]

Say hello to Zariel for us!

Karlach matched his freak and Woljif wasn't prepared 😅

[shadowheartwhisperer]

I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

Woljif is very proud to be traveling with the famed Blade of Frontiers, even though he's never heard of him before, Wyll doesn't need to know that.

So, around an hour into my Arueshalae game I realized I was having a hard time seeing her be very eager to recruit followers.

I made her Dark Urge, for obvious reasons, and I felt like she would be so scared of hurting the others that she might just avoid them entirely. In Wrath of the Righteous she won't even come with you at first unless you've gone through the work establishing your connection to the Azatas, and when she does contact you later she only does it because she needs help dealing with the hag threatening her.

Also, I felt like the playthrough needed a comic relief.

All this is to say I've added Woljif to the party.

I noticed this excellent wing mod on consoles, Soaring Ambition by Nikjima, and it gave me an idea for a modded playthrough.

I made Arueshalae, so now I will be able to see my girlfriends kiss 🥰

The Noblestalk actually isn't the only thing that can cause the third memory to bug out.

There's a late act 2 conversation that, if triggered, cancels out the third memory. It's the one that proceeds the in camp conversation where she's questioning her faith. It can pop at a few different points but the place where I've gotten it to most is after you let her interact with one of the bowls at the temple of Shar. An exclamation point appears above her head and when you talk to her she's distracted and says she feels like she's conflicted about something, but doesn't know what. The unfortunate thing is that even if you ignore the exclamation point and don't talk to her it still cancels out the third memory. You have to avoid that conversation triggering entirely, which can be a bit tough if you've already hit a lot of the points that cause her to question her faith in the first place.

Anyway, I submitted a bug report for it a few weeks ago, because it feels unintentional, so hopefully they fix that at some point.

Wait! What happens when you trigger all three Shadowheart memories?!?

So. Apparently it was bugged for a bit there and either very difficult or impossible to get all three memories (and everyone was confused by the fact that the noblestalk memory isn't one of them, and actually cancels the trigger) BUT I can confirm from my most recent (PS5 patch 6) playthrough that after you get all three Shadowheart memories...

*spoilers*

She will personally choose to save her own parents. Whether she is Dark Justiciar or Selûnite, doesn't matter, tested it with both. You don't have to persuade her, you just have to choose the option telling her that it's her choice or that she knows what to do, and then she chooses to reclaim her family herself and I cry alot.

That's what happens when you get all three memories. Crying, sobbing, throwing up.

I decided to make a Baldur's Gate AMV, because I'm old and I miss the days when we people used to make AMVs all the time and post them on Youtube without getting a copyright strike.

Anyway, I figured I'd do something with the thousands of hours of clips I've taken while playing the game.

I think one of my mods is acting up, Astarion is just naked and I don't know why! 🤣
