    For those that want to know more about the map and why it seems to have skeletal hands and ribs sticking out - when a god dies by either being slain by another god or else by starving to death after all of it's worshippers die out or are hunted down, their corpse floats endlessly through the astral plane. You're literally walking on the corpse of a long forgotten dead god.
    The attention to lore detail in this game is amazing.

      I think it is dependent to a degree on how you approach the situation, I had slaughtered her inquistor first when I refused to give the artifact, and then told her if she was a god she could do it herself. Perhaps she didn't one shot the party there because there was nobody nearby who could get the artifact for her. (Kinda rip and tore through the gith colony before the inquistor fight)

      I knew Vlaakith was bad news but I had to let Lae'zel see the truth for herself. Plus if you're playing a character that doesn't like to murder people who are non hostile you can go into the artifact side with the guardian by saying you're not going to kill them, come out and get all sorts of githyanki circlets and weapons off the fools sent to kill you. So basically, it's a more favorable outcome. There's also a later plotline where you can join with the anti-Vlaakith githyanki.

    I trusted my guardian the whole way through. I protected them up until the lich queen asked me to go inside the prism, but for me, it was merely to get answers, never to kill my guardian. I killed the inquisitor when I first entered his quarters, before the queen appeared because there was no way I was gonna give up the artefact, EVEN if it was their creation. There really is no black or white in this game, they make what would seem like an evil and scheming side as bad and a good side as good. When both of those roles can be switched in an instant.

    • @JackJackKcajify
      @JackJackKcajify Рік тому +2

      Yes this scene / moment in particular was really epic. And it really made me feel like i was prematurely getting answers about the mysteries of the artifact based on the paths and actions i took. Which made the game really feel complex. And its true, you dont ever have to go to the monastery in a playthrough. But then after playing the game and fleshing it out fully, you realize that its just a linear interaction.
      SO while its true you arent compelled to go to the monastery and end up getting answers and entering the prism, Voss still ends up telling you there is someone inside the astral prism.
      So your choices and decisions really arent impactful, it what they do really is just make it so you either kill or talk past certain NPCs, or get a different line of dialogue or piece of info,
      But no truly game changing or plot altering decisions.
      ( there are decisions you can make that are serious when it comes to companions though).

      I think if you play as vastly different characters, you'll get more different results, but I am noticing as long as you follow similar moral codes, a lot of destinations are the same but the paths there and the character interactions along the way are different.
      Ex: My blind run and my "get the best outcome possible everywhere" run hit the same story beats, but have different dialogs and flows to get there, however I think when I do my overtly evil run it'll probably work out a lot differently overall because I'll be shooting for different outcomes

      The tadpole itself is the railroad, anything that seems to revolve around removing it just keeps you in the orbit of that particular storyline. Reminds me a lot of Mass Effect 3, wherein there are many different branches that lead you to the same conclusion, rather than many branches leading to different conclusions.

He asked me how it was protecting you, i replied by telling him about the tadpole in my head. He got pissed off and decided to just openly attack, saying death would be the cure. All that and lae'zel still fought with me against the inquisitor, not even pissed off. When going into the sphere, talking to the guardian to then return to Lae'zel. I opened up to lae'zel and let her read my mind, exposing the Queen for her true intentions. That's as far as i have gotten so far, but there's still much more to go through, i'm sure whatever decisions i made will either bite me in the ass or reward me.

      Outside of the characters' knowledge it's pretty obvious if you just know a little D&D lore. Vlaakith CLVII is a lich seeking to become a goddess that secretly kills or eats the soul of any Githyanki who grows powerful enough to threaten her, including her own knights and - notably - senja'si once they reach a certain power level... the level at which they see a future in which she succeeds, or can discover her intentions. Vlaakith plans to destroy Tu'narath and break ties with the Githyanki once she does, and she is trying to keep that hidden.

The inability for the dream guardian to tell you indicates a certain magical prohibition, one that out of character we know from D&D knowledge is only present surrounding the knowledge of what happened to Gith, the original hero of the Githyanki and Githzerai. I'm certain the secret is the fact that Vlaakith betrayed Gith, most presumably to Tiamat to gain the service of the red dragons.@@alexjgilpin

      I find it highly suspect that the people would revolt against the lich-queen for something her ancient ancestor did. And even if time travel was somehow involved and the lich-queen was able to manipulate events well before her birth... such a betrayal still gave the Gith their dragons, a powerful tool.

    I murderhobo'ed the whole room before interacting with the queen (I never had the intention of giving the the artifact). And before I activated the platform, I decided to take a look at what I could loot in that room. When I was unlocking a chest, I'm guessing Lae'Zel lost her patience and decided to attack me, so the rest of the gang was forced to fight and kill her and now I'm down a really good fighter

    Attempting to play this game in one life. Thus, if the party wipes and my only option is to reload an earlier save, I delete all saves and make a new character. Currently on my third attempt. My second attempt really turned me away from the Githyanki. My initial goal was to save the head druid to progress the main quest of finding a cure but it bugged out and I was unable to speak with the head druid after fighting the goblins in the jail area. So, I went with the Githyanki option. I had Lae'zel in my party and spoke with her people. Who promptly "cleansed" us via slaughtering us. So with my current play through, I simply watched with a smile as Shadowhart killed Lae'zel at camp.

    I brought Lae'zel, Karlach, and Gale along, (romancing Bae'zel, approval rating ~85 at level 6) offered up the prism and knelt before the undying queen, took the disapproval hit from the other two, went into the prism, spoke to my guardian and reassured our trust, she outright told me about Vlaakith's secret, went out of the cave and told Lae'zel that Vlaakith would try to kill us regardless, and managed to stay on all the companions' good sides. (It also helped that in the ensuing fight I was able to group the Gith together and use the broken fireball wand + sculpt spells and knock out a lot of the opposition)

Well Lae'zel I killed with the tieflings so at this point I'm helping the Empire (your voice in your head) and who is being held captured in that prism that he's using to protect you from the absolute. I'm wondering now if you side with the third party how it will turn out. As there must be play where you turn on the voice but don't help the lich queen either. I may do this on my all Gith play. I'm going to make two chars MP them from start bring Lae'zel and get the Gith higherling. For a full Gith party.
