    While redeeming Durge is one of my favourite storylines, sometimes it’s just a little fun to slip into old habits when someone particularly arrogant, vile or aggravating touches the wrong nerve.
    That said, Stupid Evil/Murderhobo isn’t usually something I find fun.

    • @Fierth
      @Fierth Рік тому +95

      You can be evil durge without being stupid tho - you kill strategic people in strategic points, and control yourself when it's against your best interest. Easy. Even certain stupid stuff like taking Gale's hand can be excused with "you're amnesiac so you didn't know your fantasies very quickly become reality if you let them".

      redeeming durge is just a little too cliche for me. It's a trope done all the time now. So often in media that just a true evil murderhobo is far rarer and imo more interesting.

      I agree that redemption arcs CAN be cliché, but in this specific game you get to choose. That's why it's not cliché at all - the game acknowledges it could go either way, depending on the player. Imo the best way to play this game is not to treat it like a story you're watching, but try to actually get into the mind of the character you are playing, and BE them for a bit. When you do that, nothing is cliché really, it's all just choices you make.

      well if you go murderhobo then you are not different than Orin. Dark Urge is more political and efficient with his mission while Orin like to toying and playing around. thats why Gortash like you more than Orin

      @GabbyJFS_02 7 місяців тому +13

      That was my main gripe with this game in terms of companions. Like the scene where Bhaal kills you if you reject him after killing Orin, none of your companions say anything. Not even a cry or a “No!” From whomever you romanced, like the Well of Sorrows scene in Dragon Age Inquisition. Not to mention you literally tell everyone you have murderous compulsions but they all dismiss them and are shocked when you act on them. I literally told you this would happen.

She would've been the only exception to let live, but Royalty is the one calling the shots.

      @cn_nightingale Рік тому +16

      Bit late, but créche is Act 2. It clearly tells you to finish business in the previous area pre entering the mountain pass, just like venturing from underdark/grymforge to shadow cursed lands and most unfinished quests in act 1 fail upon leaving. As you can still travel back and forth between mountain pass and shadow cursed lands (until reaching the shadow fell) without impact on quests on one side or the other, it's considered the same act.

      ​@@cn_nightingale creche and underdark are both act 1. The prompt you're talking about when you enter the mountain pass tells you you're underleveled. You dont get the other prompt till you move to the shadowfell either through the mountain pass or the underdark

Don't quest in the first areas, enter mountain pass and see for yourself, tieflings dead, hag got the child, no doggo/bear for camp and so on. Entering the mountain pass considers nearly everything previous either failed or completed, i had to reload about six hours of gameplay after i went back to the suddenly empty grove.
      Edit: also you don't get another warning when you enter shadowlands through mountains or forge.

    • @lostpenguins
      @lostpenguins Рік тому +2

      @@cn_nightingale I don't know about that. Going into Shadowlands forces a camp scenario first. Unlike Creche. Going into Act 3 also forces a camp scenario as the story line progresses. You can do plenty of things in Act 3 where quests will fail even though you're not moving to another Act so don't think that's enough to consider it. The forced camp, to me, serves as the marker into the next Act. You can also completely skip Creche going into the Shadowlands which, again, makes me feel it's not Act 2.
