Damn, I just solved the refugees problem so there was a celebration going on. I see Gale doesn't have an icon over his so I'm like, "Maybe dude managed to feed his addiction on his own :ohhh:"

He's like, "Say breh, how about I show you a magic trick? :shaq: "

Me thinking, "Magic? I'm about to learn some new spells in this bytch :gladbron:"

So I start talking to people then I talk to Lae'zel and she says some shyt like. "I was gonna give you a little something but you went and promised yourself to Gale :usure: "

Ayoooo :damn::damn::damn:

I tried my hardest to undo it but I couldn't. Checked my last save it was something like a half hour before. I had to eat that :dame::sadcam:
:mjlol: the way some characters throw themselves at you in this game.
I made Lae'zel my main because my character is Githyanki so it makes sense. Had to establish dominance first though

Brehs which way to go? Underdark? Temple of Selune? Journey overland?
I went across both maps. Mountain Pass is a smaller map, but has story implications dependant on the path you want to take and your preferred companions.

Realistically, the choice is basically Lae'zel v Shadowheart. Mountain Pass goes to Creche for Lae'zel; Underdark has a bunch of stuff related to Shadowheart.

That said, in terms of tangible rewards? Underdark and it isn't close.

However. If your party is mostly people without Darkvision - Lae'zel, Wyll, Gale, certain PCs/hirelings - you're gonna have a much worse time in the underground than out in the sunlight, combat-wise. Plan accordingly. But know that the Underdark can give you gear that will carry you into Act 3 if you can find it.
All the Mountain Pass gave me was a pile of Gith bodies to sift through and an Egg I had to resist the urge to punt off a cliff despite already being paid for it.

Oh....

And it also gave me a game-long enemy faction that hunted me throughout the major Act 2 area because I told their god to eat a dikk

facts.

That said, Karlach is best girl. I'm doing the Shadowheart thing but Karlach is the homie and I love her character so much. Her shyt-talking devils to their faces makes me legitimately laugh.

I'll say this though: learn from my mistakes bruh. I long-rested a total of zero times in Act 2.
Not.
Once.
Did fine; had no issues getting through. Probably because I don't fukk with wizards and their long rest nonsense.

But... I apparently missed a bunch of story stuff meant to trigger during rest downtime. So I missed out on some reward stuff by subsisting on caffeine and angelic potions for the whole time in the Shadow-Cursed Lands. I also basically skipped a whole section for my origin quest as a result so... oops :francis:

Playing Dark Urge, so... they woulda just wanted me to kill someone super important judging by the internet chatter so... didn't even get a chance to tempted :yeshrug:
