      ​​​@@MandalorV7 the craziest thing is that she's "cut content" not in the sense that she was cut out for time reasons, but rather that she was cut out for other reasons, although this probably happened pretty early. A couple lines of dialog in act 3 at least at one point had coded tags for (alfira approves) and (ketheric disapproves). Suggesting she was originally intended to be a companion.
      So it's more like she's the npc you planned to send along with the party, decided it would detract from your abilities to DM so you made her more temporary, and then the party kidnaps her anyway😂

Then boom, next morning she's dead and i fucking killed her. I did not know that could happen and i was overwhelmed with guilt that i killed my durge character thrice with Karlach.

    • @blackfox4138
      @blackfox4138 2 місяці тому +3

      My personal theory is that Alfira was one of many potential companions that would've been part of a "Single Alignment Only" playthrough. Like how Minthara was original for an Evil Only playthrough, Alfira would've been for a Good Only playthrough. There's also plenty of Absolute Cultists who appear as though they were made to be party members, and there is a "Ketheric Disapproves" line in the game code. So definitely it was something that was conceptualized, but left on the cutting room floor.

    • @toprak3479
      @toprak3479 Місяць тому +2

      Alfira and Kagha definitely should've been companions. Both are much more interesting than, say, Wyll. They could've even added Zevlor, Sazza, Dror Ragzlin & Gut, Nere and Isobel as companions. Would've preferred any single one of them over Minsc who had honestly already outstayed his welcome by BG2.

But people found several ways to recruit her regardless + non-lethal attacks were bugged when it came to quest progression, so they adjusted Minthara slightly so Halsin and her could coexist in camp and they fixed non-lethal attacks.

For the death thing, in a Spud the King video he mentioned picking up her body and having Withers resurrect her, but that was more so when you’re full resting, but could work for combat deaths.

  • @Marianojoey
    @Marianojoey 3 місяці тому +1

    The reason behind the HP with the difficulty is because:
    In EASY mode, the characters have 2x first level, and enemies and neutrals have 1/2x first level.
    In BALANCED, everyone has 1x
    But in TACTITIAN/HONOR, your characters have 1x, but enemies and neutrals have 2x.
    Since Alfira is a neutral (same as Us in the Nauthiloid), her HP depends on the difficulty and not in the class. She's an NPC, after all, even if you have her for a while.

    Here's a tip. During the fight with Yurgir in Shar's domain (or whatever) in act 2, he eventually drops 14 Orthon explosive bombs. You can actually just pick all of them up, and they are disarmed and can be used. They're incredibly powerful, doing basically a combined 50 damage split between fire and force. Not even joking, these 14 bombs allowed me to cheese the fight with the Netherbrain on honor mode. Ran in there and unloaded all 14 bombs for the kill in the first turn.
    I'm actually curious if you can just leave him alive and farm him for these bombs, maybe something for your testing?

And: Karlach should have the possibility of dating Dammon, like, C'MON. That guy is into her (and mommies) so bad that he can't hide it.

    I tried killing my dark urge after Alfira joins and when the game killed Alfira anyway, I gave up. I cannot imagine what it takes to try killing DU with Alfira and then picking him up. I mean .... why?
    I wonder if transporting to the Mountain Pass triggers certain quest completions like it does if you go there normally. For example, if you have not yet completed rescue Halson or the Tieflings when you take the Mountain Pass then normally those quests will be failed. If you then go back Halsin and Tieflings will be dead.

    4:18 this is the best one I've seen in a while. Not that I've been looking for ways to do murder or get around combat or anything. I would never. That would be almost as bad as walking around, distracting guards and then shoving them in pits.
    I imagine you can also just have the mage hand drop the acid vial so you don't get blasted.

    I'm in act 3 with alfira. I did the opposite of you. Went to the mountain pass to trigger her recruit scene but killed her instead and picked up her body. Same thing happened here. Had withers revive her then I killed her again and picked her up, went back to act 1 and long rested until durge killed the other bard. Then Alfira can be taken to act 2 onwards

    So the nest key and chest above has definitely been around for a while. At least since a year ago when i got into the game.
    But serious question now. I do a ranger/rogue gloomstalker/assassin build for astarion, i usually pick feats sharpshooter and athlete or just stat improvement. You kinda need at least a half feat to round off that dex to 18 but now I'm wondering if i want to ditch sharpshooter for savage attacker or deal with 17 dex and maybe find equipment to push the stat up. Any suggestions anyone

      I'm sure someone will figure out how to use her current companion recruting code to make her a fully fleshed companion that has all of the actions you'd expect a companion to have, plus proper Bard and Tiefling abilities to boot. If you then do the exploit her to make her permanent, at least you have a decent companion now lol.
      Eventually after that, someone will figure out how to make her truly permanent, and always recruitable.
      This is more likely now that the modding toolit has been fully unlocked by the community.

    Heres the thing right, Alfira is great and all but theres literally no point in making her a permanent companion and possibly breaking a quest or hard lockign yourself in act 2 just to do so when she has no lines for anything beyond her recruitment, at that point make a tiefling hireling and just slap her appearance on there, the effect is the same

    Alfira ends up eating Durge's tadpoles for this, and is cursed into bhaalspawn and fucking *brutalizes* Durge after you do this, losing her control.
    Basically, making her your new avatar pc, but while you no longer have durge's background, you still carry the knives.
