#sh is like “ugh i don’t wanna go questing with a gith”

When I play RPGs with customisable PCs, I always end up imagining what it would be like if all my characters existed in the same world and had the chance to collide full force run into each other. Some games make this easy (Pillars of Eternity letting you create and hire random adventurers) and some call for more creativity (Dragon Age Origins implying an assortment of terrible fates for the origins you don’t play… sob). BG3 is definitely on the easier side.

…all of this is to say, aaahhh I can’t stop thinking about a potential Act 1 AU where Lykos, Minthara, and their little army attack the grove, Vin'ath & co. stop them, and they get taken prisoner. Maybe Lae'zel's with them and gets captured too (this would work beautifully if all of them met on the nautiloid and then got separated in the chaos - I can’t imagine Vin or Shadowheart would try very hard to stick with the two Ls, or vice versa). Just - the sheer emotional mess for Vin, having to face off not just with another githyanki but with a Vlaakith cleric who belongs to an even more hardcore cult-within-a-cult. Lykos going ??? at this weird little hshar'lak she'lak who in some ways is more doctrinaire gith than he is (though they’d deny it until the end of time). I want.
