*Accepting Baahl* Some Companions: Ugh you suck now 🙄 Other companions: Yay we're cooler and more powerful now! 🥳😈 Gale: Well... it is what it is lol 🤷♂️
@ggogaming7441 Unfortunately, Bhaal of Forgotten Realms lore is canonically a wholly evil quasi-deity. I think Gale just simply doesn't care where his allies align. He just cares about the advantage. Which is honestly quite Wizard-like of him.
Gale's technically good, but also power-mad. He knows damned well what choice he would have made in your shoes, so he's accepting of you embracing Bhaal (and godlike power) and somewhat resentful of you if you have the strength to do what he doesn't and reject the power. Gale's a surprisingly deep character, honestly.
@@indifferentsmiley I mean he's canonically a greater deity. Also despite what halsin says, evil and murder and all things in creation, are a natural part of creation.
We may have lost a sister, a father, and a loyal butler, but now we have Jaheira and Minsc (and boo). They are the family that Dark Urge truly deserves.
I didn't know Jaheira was recruitable in my first run, figured it out in my second. Dear lord did I fall for this lovely lady, she reminds me of a cool aunt. And then Minsc came along and I had to keep him. Then I tried my first Dark Urge playthrough, and when she comes at night and watches over you... There is no other playthrough as rewarding as a Durge I think. Too many things happen for it not to be the best
@@theravenousrabbit3671 true. very true. I still find him being the vestige of Jergal a little strange in a way. since the figure still lives in a way after splitting his powers between Bane, Myrkul and Bhaal; is this piece of him more akin to a demigod? or is it something more?
@@theravenousrabbit3671 What the fawk are you talking about. Bhaal, especially, dead three adjacent, have been pivotal to the Baldurs Gate video Game series. That has transcendent and surpasses WofTC. Heck the Dark Urge or D'Urge campaign is the most try lore wise to Baldurs Gate and Baldurs Gate 2. Jergal has always been involved since he gave the powers to the Dead 3
God, hearing Minthara expressing her feelings about everything she's been through and how she empathizes with us makes me feel really bad about killing her.
"I would've been just another in your crusade against the Absolute. And no one would remember me" Time to slaughter a bunch of Tiefling families. I must save her.
Astarions reactions might be locked under romancing him, I had unique lines after rejecting where he’s supportive and says he only ever saw you as yourself
He also gets unique dialogue if you beat Cazador first, both as spawn and as ascendant. There's some sweet dialogue where if you try breaking up with spawn version before fighting Orin, he'll say something like "I promised I would cure you, and we will cure you"
And accepting, he's like very meloncholy over it, saying that accepting Baal means that one day they will have to part. Very sad because apparently, after the elder brain fight you don't get the final cutscene where you and him talk afterwards.
@@IIIGioGioStarIII Can confirm that if you accept Bhaal, you cannot be with Astarion anymore. In the end your choices are (SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY) to control the brain and make everyone your slave, or to reject the power. But since you've already accepted Bhaal, you're given one final final choice on the docks. You can either let yourself be possessed by him entirely, or you can kill yourself to spare everyone the horrors of Bhaal's return. In my evil run I personally let my durge kill himself as his one and only (other than saving the city) act of good. Other than those 2 final choices, my evil durge 100% accepted Bhaal.
@@milessmith8868 seen it. Very sad. I know for my evil run, I m going to basically have everyone get screwed over. Astarion running out of the sun, Karlach exploding back to Avernus, Lea’zell leaving the party for freeing her peeps, and when it’s just me and DJ Shadowheart, off myself. Mainly because I love the scene in act 2 where Nightsong is like, “if you kill me, you’ll find yourself going down a path where you will be alone”. Shadowheart just alone at the dock realizing that the party disbanded and majority are dead or will be soon enough.
I love Minthara so much. Such a shame she is apparently still bugged, she provides both amazing in-universe insight as well as a very well written and layered character.
@@bld_messs On my previous (evil DU) playthrough, me bringing her to Last Light Inn caused the "Minthara is unwelcome in Moonrise" scene, which turned everyone in Last Light *permanently* hostile. No matter, I was gonna kill them anyways. On my current (plushy DU), I knocked her out in the goblin camp, and when I got her out of Moonrise, she just says "Not now" or "Talk later" instead of offering to join the camp after escaping. I had two playthroughs where she didn't die in Act 1, and both of them had something messed up with her.
I love how for not accepting the Urge, everyone is all “f yeah!!! You rejected it!!! Let’s go celebrate!!!” after ALL the stuff ya went through to fight it, and even getting close to killing a few of your companions. Just makes it feel like Dark Urge was the canon approach for Tav which definitely might be my next run!
Hm. Gale to me feels not like he’s approving or disapproving, just giving in to the nature of being “chosen.” He feels more like someone with religious trauma than anything else. Just sort’ve… resigned to some ultimate truth that Gods can’t be defied. “This is what it is, this is what will happen. I know it from experience. Good luck.”
True but if you look at him and his body language, it seems clear that he pities your choice to accept. He may not express disgust like the others, but that doesn't mean he's happy about it. You made your choice, and he at least respects it.
Not me giggling, kicking my feet like a schoolgirl hearing Karlach being so proud of Tav, omfg, I would reject Bhaal a thousand times just to hear her be so happy for me 🥺🥺🥺🤧🤧🤧
I mean, to me that is so powerful. You’re *just* you now, no urge compelling you to cary out Bhaal’s will. I love how happy and supportive all of them are, but Lae’zel’s always gets to me the most. (Sorry, Astarion, I promise you’re still my favorite)
I took it to mean that you have agency now and it’s because you’re you, you defied him and became autonomous. She says something similar at another point in the game and I can’t remember it now ugh
You know what I'd like to see before Withers shows up? Our romanced companion reaction to our horrible death. 🥲 That would be sweet if they could fall on their knees next to our body and say something at very least, w/o any overreacting, but a pinch of drama. Something suitable to this particular character. Very short reaction would be fine, and only then Withers comes to this hall. That'll be awesome ❤
Really? I’ve rejected Bhaal both before and after killing Cazador and all his lines were the same. Then again, I talked him out of ascending both times, and it would make sense for ascended Astarion would have different lines.
I romanced Astarion, finished his quest keeping him a spawn, took only him with me to the duel and embraced bhaal after resisting the whole time. When Jaheira confronted us he said, paraphrasing, "Well, not the path I'd have preferred, but I'm with you love. Wherever this takes us" and prepared for battle All that is to say, I fucking melted right then and there and am here to be convinced to keep being good on my good playthrough lol That just felt more powerful to me than everyone basically saying the same "congrats, good job"
The main reason why I can't kill her now, each of these characters have a singular line that has made me fall in love with them. This was Minthara's. I adored the goth vampire but I fell in love with his character even more when playing a redeemed Dark Urge and his 'don't become his' was uttered. Can't romance my Durge characters with anyone else now
Minthara is honestly the best written companion and it absolutely sucks that you have to be evil to get her and lose Wyll and worse be forced to kill Karlach. And im talking about how the game was meant to be played, those workarounds people do, ignoring the entire crux of act 1 to don't count
as of patch 3 she *might* be fixed. I'm currently getting her to the point where her romance starts and then stopping until there's confirmation that she works again, and then picking it back up.
Hint: When you accept Baahl, it would be better to have Shart lead to the dark (Shar) side before. On this side, she is much more inclined to follow the power instead of goodness. IMHO with Shar she becomes a mere puppet of evil.
Interesting, i just finished this quest. Won the duel and rejected bhaal. Karlach wished me a happy birthday, jaheira had the same reaction as in the vid and astarion said it was a convenient deux ex machina from withers
Now we can just steal a scroll in front of her and then 'non-lethally' smack her a couple of times. I mean, a great bloody axe is somehow 'non-lethal' but seems to do the trick
I haven't seen clips of when you died in the 1v1 but your party kills Orin after. There's at least some unique dialogue with Astarion (possible only when romanced) but I've only done one playthrough so far
I think Shadowheart should have a much different reaction if you let her kill Aylin and complete her quest to overthrow the Sharran cult. Her getting upset about you becoming a chosen when she aspired to be and succeeded at becoming one for Shar makes no sense
When you tell her you're Bhaal-Spawn and she goes 'you're my friend, my best friend, choose well' I want to go 'anything for you, well like 40% you and then other 60% for the sexy vampire I struggled to romance'
I began seeing this videos so I do not have to play them myself. That was poor judgment. Because now I'm downloading it to play it myself because I just can't help myself.
Shadowheart's reaction is pure hypocrisy - as if her god (not for the version seen in the video, but the Sharran version reacts the same) did not want to achieve the same evil goal as Bhaal, destroying the whole world.
It's fitting for her character though. Her entire view on Shar is that she's a true believer, willfully blind to the evil stuff Shar is about. But it also shows that hidden good part of her that she thinks this is a bit much, even if she's lacking in self reflection
Hmm i killed Minsc and his rat in the sewers, figured they cant stand our new glory. Also Gale being the best buddy as always. Edit: i wonder what Shadowheart is thinking, when she became Shars right hand since she is a selunite here.
Man, people really like to dump on Minthara because of "muh druids and children", but she is a deep and profound character for someone who can truly understand the inner workings of the nutty gods.
if Larian does not gatekeeping the companion personal quest and OP item reward to Tiefling then i would hobomurder them without Minthara ordering me too
it's just interesting since if you let her become a dark justiciar before going to cazador's castle, she actually is supportive of astarion sacrificing thousands to ascend, but not you accepting bhaal :?@@agirlnamedmichael1670
Probably because he was never meant to be a companion lol. He was only made one due to player demand during early access which led to the halfing bard companion being cut.
It's kinda deemening to say "you're free" when the choice is "do what we want or you're not free" I've conquered my IRL dark urges long ago, and I chose this path cause I actually wanted to reawaken them, give me some life, as I feel I've gone too light, balance darkness in with my light, be a balance of my full self, I chose this, and I can say, this game has helped me gain those things back and have a bit more drive and life, I needed some darkness to feed my light again and vice versa. So I didn't do this for bhaal, or obey him, I made my own damn choice, but it seems what the game considers freedom is meekly capitulating to the social norms of your companions. Then I again I almost feel like the writers channel my past self, especially since I see myself like a white dragon inside and that's what the default player is, and I did conquer my urges before, but yeah. But I done so by not hating myself because of them, I think the real key is not hating yourself, any aspect of yourself. I always was the author of my own tale, which is why I chose the dark urge path from the start.
So you have psychotic fantasies and are living them out vicariously through video games? I think you need some sunshine, fresh air and a refillable prescription of lithium.
She believes accepting the power that comes with being the chosen of Bhaal is your destiny, and that you can control that power for your own (and hopefully hers too) ends. She doesent think bhaal is a worthy master, but sees you as having something to gain from him even so.
So she disapproves rejecting Bhaal but gives the speech how hes manipulative douche and how bad he is. Like what course of action can player take for her to be happy? Why would she be happy about you being Bhaal lapdog after her past experience? I doubt there is a choice to yoink Bhaal power and run scott free.
@@Narn29 it's not about being Bhaal "lapdog" from her point of view it's not because someone give you power that you must be their lapdog, be a wolf in sheep clothing, hide you fangs from them and when you can take their position, bite their throat ( menzoberranzan style ). In this universe god are not in their position forever... except Ao, dont mess with Ao, like never
It’s because she believes that instead of being a thrall for Bhaal like the other gods, he instead will ‘unleash’ you. Basically meaning that he unleashes us and we can do whatever we want

I wonder what went through Bhaal's mind when Withers revives you. I imagined it was more like ".... what the fuck just happened here?"
Well, when a vestige of Jergal plays you in your own Temple, you gotta take a step back and wonder if he might not have some other card up his sleeve.

WotC wants to throw out the Dead three because they're not marketable, and want to have the return of Jergal.

You can have Minthara and Wyll in your party at the same time. To do this, you have to be neutral in the grove conflict.
@@vickyvale711 the last sentence of his comment is addressing exactly that..........

She doesn't. I completed her evil storyline and she still had the exact same reaction.
Interesting, i just finished this quest. Won the duel and rejected bhaal.
Karlach wished me a happy birthday, jaheira had the same reaction as in the vid and astarion said it was a convenient deux ex machina from withers
I loved everyone's heartfelt congratulations after rejecting Bhaal. Must be a great feeling.
You can also lose the 1 vs 1 against Orin, and be stuck in a limbo ;p
Gale: "oh no. uhm, anyways..."
Minthara's dialog has changed after Hotfix 21 and 22. This dialog is much more... melancholic and insightful
And Minthara is proof that they should allow her to be a companion without butchering the Grove.
The people have spoken and
Larian has listened
hehe, non lethal go bonk
Also make sure she has "Temporary Hostile" when you do.
@@michaelpitter9193 no, ive recuited her without her being temporarily hostile
Now we can just steal a scroll in front of her and then 'non-lethally' smack her a couple of times. I mean, a great bloody axe is somehow 'non-lethal' but seems to do the trick
killing Orin as the Slayer and then taking my rightful place was the most satisfying moment in the game
I haven't seen clips of when you died in the 1v1 but your party kills Orin after. There's at least some unique dialogue with Astarion (possible only when romanced) but I've only done one playthrough so far
Karlach's reaction is oddly terrifying.
Right? Like she starts laughing like someone told a moderately funny joke and is all like "ill fucking kill you"
Gonna miss this version of Minthara...🥲
Karlach dancing in the background 💀
Now I need to see lines for losing the duel :D
Halsin: "...I can think of few things less natural."
You: "I am the Slayer."
Halsin: "Most unnatural."
"And nobody would remember me." I will always go out of my way to save Minthara even on good playthroughs now.
Tav: I am bhaal’s chosen, I will butcher this world in his name.
Gale: well beggars can’t be choosers. Was there something else you wanted to discuss?
Marrying wyll forever
I think Shadowheart should have a much different reaction if you let her kill Aylin and complete her quest to overthrow the Sharran cult. Her getting upset about you becoming a chosen when she aspired to be and succeeded at becoming one for Shar makes no sense
Karlach said “happy birthday, soldier” to me and I teared up 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
When you tell her you're Bhaal-Spawn and she goes 'you're my friend, my best friend, choose well' I want to go 'anything for you, well like 40% you and then other 60% for the sexy vampire I struggled to romance'
Okay how do you have such cool outfits for everyone? Mods?

Why do so many people only show selune shadowheart?
Because it's the best ending for her to reject Shar and become a Selunite unless you're doing an evil playthrough.

@@udinrambutan-do8ozYeah, they ought to give us more options for the Evil Run to make up for abandoning the clearly more rewarding Good Playthrough.
what about shar shadowheart
Halsin: Nature is a cycle of life and death
Me: Literally most life lives forever in your realm, be quiet. I dont get my pet chickens forever.

Why is Gale kinda chill about this?
Because he's all about having choices. He might not agree with your choice, but he at least respects that you made it.
seems hypocritical of shadowheart to go off like that after fully supporting her pursuit of becoming a dark justiciar...
In way yes...but Shadowheart was fighting her nature the whole time. She was never *really* Shar's.
it's just interesting since if you let her become a dark justiciar before going to cazador's castle, she actually is supportive of astarion sacrificing thousands to ascend, but not you accepting bhaal :?@@agirlnamedmichael1670
Why is hasin so annoying?
Probably because he was never meant to be a companion lol. He was only made one due to player demand during early access which led to the halfing bard companion being cut.
@Foodisgood I'd rather have Alfina as a companion than Halsin there is really no reason we need 2 druid companions it makes no sense
It's kinda deemening to say "you're free" when the choice is "do what we want or you're not free"
I've conquered my IRL dark urges long ago, and I chose this path cause I actually wanted to reawaken them, give me some life, as I feel I've gone too light, balance darkness in with my light, be a balance of my full self, I chose this, and I can say, this game has helped me gain those things back and have a bit more drive and life, I needed some darkness to feed my light again and vice versa.
So I didn't do this for bhaal, or obey him, I made my own damn choice, but it seems what the game considers freedom is meekly capitulating to the social norms of your companions.
Then I again I almost feel like the writers channel my past self, especially since I see myself like a white dragon inside and that's what the default player is, and I did conquer my urges before, but yeah.
But I done so by not hating myself because of them, I think the real key is not hating yourself, any aspect of yourself.
I always was the author of my own tale, which is why I chose the dark urge path from the start.
You shouldn't hate yourself, but you should have a little shame for writing all that. JFC dude.
murder is bad actually
you're weird lmao
So you have psychotic fantasies and are living them out vicariously through video games? I think you need some sunshine, fresh air and a refillable prescription of lithium.
Kindly never speak again, jesus christ, this isn't a fantasy universe where you're the child of a god
Minthara hates bhall but disapproves of you rejecting bhall doesn't make sense
She believes accepting the power that comes with being the chosen of Bhaal is your destiny, and that you can control that power for your own (and hopefully hers too) ends. She doesent think bhaal is a worthy master, but sees you as having something to gain from him even so.
So she disapproves rejecting Bhaal but gives the speech how hes manipulative douche and how bad he is. Like what course of action can player take for her to be happy? Why would she be happy about you being Bhaal lapdog after her past experience? I doubt there is a choice to yoink Bhaal power and run scott free.
You don’t understand because you lack MOTIVATION
@@Narn29 it's not about being Bhaal "lapdog" from her point of view it's not because someone give you power that you must be their lapdog, be a wolf in sheep clothing, hide you fangs from them and when you can take their position, bite their throat ( menzoberranzan style ). In this universe god are not in their position forever... except Ao, dont mess with Ao, like never
It’s because she believes that instead of being a thrall for Bhaal like the other gods, he instead will ‘unleash’ you. Basically meaning that he unleashes us and we can do whatever we want
