I wasn't really looking forward to gibbing Alfira but I had a pop at Kagha so the druids did it for me lol. whoopsydoodle

If the goblins consider this a dub they will find they are wildly mistaken

Kind of disappointed when the 'paladins' say Karlach slaughtered the grove you don't have the opportunity to say 'That was me bitch'

yo I just looked up where Alfira even is in act 1 cos I'd never actually seen her alive and not only had I twice managed to miss a chunk of the map I'd managed to miss basically a whole rear end music video

this poo poo is wild

I'm ok with not being able to recruit Karl this run cos I did kinda sorta prompt a tiefling genocide, but it's a bit of a drag I couldn't correct her when she accused me of doing it myself. Honey you would've wanted to kill Kagha too.

Also, there's so many branches in the plot and quests that don't save scum, live with your choices and have a wonderful unique adventure. No need to optimize for anything but fun!

Counterpoint: savescum as much as you like, you will know in your heart where the line is.

I like to savescum interactions to see if/how I can break them

There is currently a bug on PC where trying to drag and drop items to sell will drag the item several slots below the one you're hovering over. Meaning you end up selling stuff you probably didn't want to sell. Very annoying

Check this poo poo out I just killed Mizora. Is this normal

The Wicked ZOGA
Jan 27, 2022

OK so for the game to let me kill Mizora I have to attack her where Scratch and/or Owlbear will witness it, otherwise she just heals up and shrugs it off. But that makes both of them temporarily hostile, meaning owlbear leaves camp. Anyone got any ideas for how to get around this?

I'm pretty sure you can't kill them in camp no matter what? The only way you can actually kill them is in Act 2 if you use the mind flayer pod to annihilate her. This is a bad idea because A. it sends Wyll to hell and B. doesn't even actually kill her, it just temporarily banishes her back to Avernus

OK let me explain what actually happened. I'm currently in Act 1. I had Wyll lying dead in my camp cos I technically sided with the goblins and he can't leave if he's dead. I went to the Mountain Pass where Mizora's cutscene usually plays (I'm just gonna keep spoilers on from now on). She did actually turn up but as an NPC with no dialogue. Hitting her would cause her to heal up as NPCs tend to do as a failsafe, unless Scratch and/or the owlbear cub were watching (afaict), in which case all three of them would aggro. This actually let me kill Mizora, but I was also forced to knock out my pets. When I tried it last night the owlbear cub left the following morning, but when I tried it again today he didn't. I don't really know why. I did use Animal Friendship on him but that didn't stop him aggroing. I also used a Potion of Healing on him while he was knocked out.

I would have preferred to try this on a run where I sided with the grove so I could see if Wyll's quest broke later on, but I would be surprised if it made a difference. the game surely doesn't log Mizzy being dead since she's not supposed to be killable in the first place.

Hmm looks like the goblin party won't proc if all the goblins are dead. Not sure what I expected.

It does mean that Minthara is still standing there in Zevlor's hideout telling me we'll 'celebrate our victory'. No we won't honey.

256 hours in, just found out there's a morgue under the House of Healing and it sure isn't a tiny area.

Is that the one full of poison gas that gives you disadvantage on die rolls so if youre not in combat it doesn't matter but your party still refuses to walk through it so you have to manually guide them all through it one at a time? cos I hate that poo poo

Speaking of major scripting issues, when do you normally get the second part of Wyll's quest (ie, being tasked to save Mizora)? Long rest early in act 2, right?

Minthara shat the bed a little on my current run cos she said Shadowheart had renounced Shar even though I haven't been there yet. I know people used to bitch about minty being half-baked, is that still the case?

e: also the game does not expect you to take minty in the boat to last light if you haven't actually been there yet lol
