      I don’t know what path u have in game but astarion approves good choices too. Real good choices, not when u r just pragmatic, such as saving girl from fairy grandma, volo and etc. He even get inspiration points for some of them.
      I was purily good guy during all game and get only for about 2 disapprovals and all of them were connected with saving gnomes in act 2. But, well, it was quite suicidal decision to say smth against Nere, even Karlah disapproved my decision to unenslave them. So…

    The funny loophole that Raphael condemns, the whole "subcontracting" thing, to Yurgir, is invalid on his part. Considering that because Yurgir no longer hears the song, the deal Raphael himself created has been fulfilled. He only argues that point to keep his grip on Yurgir.
    In hindsight, that's probably the reason why he wanted us to kill him in the first place. He knew we would probably explore and eventually kill the last Justiciar,, and in doing so free Yurgir. So he wants us to kill him to cover up the loophole he accidentally left in his and Yurgir's contract.

      That's one way to handle Yurgir and his horde of Merrigons.

    My favorite version of devil's contracts are the kind where there's nothing actually binding the devil to their word, and they're just playing with their food.

      @fddldd6661 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Yeah, the game's full of stuff like this, it's a shame really. If you don't get Shadowheart to open up to you then do this area without her, on the way out she'll confront you acting like you betrayed her because she was meant to complete the trial etc. Like my character had no idea she even worshipped Shar or wanted to become a dark justiciar (because she specifically rebukes every attempt to get to know her!), but she takes it as a personal affront and leaves the party for good. My character also had no option to ask 'wtf are you talking about?' the same way you can't say to Astarion here something like 'how was I meant to know killing all those rats would void the deal we made??' so it doesn't come across as the characters themselves being unreasonable, but the game just not acknowledging events properly, so it's super jarring and just makes everything feel weightless.
      Like I get that accounting for every possibility takes a lot of resources, but it's really important! And besides, there are so many instances where companions just not saying anything makes a lot more sense, so the best thing would be to just not have these dialogues trigger. It's the game's biggest flaw imo.

  • @zoefezius6615
    @zoefezius6615 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +38

    this way the dialog makes no sence in my opinion... Astarion talking like we have been and talked to Yurgir before and made a free decision to delete his deal with Raphael... instead of just randomly killing things in our way and Raphael just taking the opportunity to kill Yurgir before we could try it... some of the moments where i felt short of dialog options...
    anotherone after Halsin got killed and returning to the grove and everyone telling me... if you find him, tell us... at the end telling people that someone is dead is really not often an option...
    also in the money-house - can't tell no one that there boss died down there in an ambush...
    and yeah, i am good in randomly getting people killed who shouldn't die if i was a decent gamer.. ;o9
    or when not making a runthrough but playing more options... that you can tell no other healer that you already found out that your brain-insects are special before them letting do there thing and being surprised that they are special...
    in my first 55 hour story-run-through everything was perfect, but in the forth or fifth, when i pay more attention to such stuff and explore more than trying to just survive and speed run healer and source of magic and stuff, there are some little issues....

    • @1SaG
      @1SaG 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      There are definitely some glitches in the dialogues - one I ran into 2 out of 3 times now was Gale berating me about a deal I had made with "a devil"... pretty sure he's talking about the whole Raph/Orphic Hammer/Crown of Karsus thing. Problem is: Gale started this conversation when I hadn't even entered Sharess' Caress yet, much less spoken to Raphael. I think what triggers this is the party discovering the South Span waypoint and/or getting *close* to the whorehouse. Another glitch I encountered for the first time this run was Shadowheart suddenly having a dialogue option lamenting the fact that she and my Tav never got together - when she had professed her love to Tav just a minute before that and had told him she wanted to be with him forever... lol.
      In fairness: There are so many conversations with your party members, so many ways conversations can unfold and lots of times it's the player (not the game) who decides what order he does what quests in. "De-bugging" all that stuff and making sure conversations don't trigger at the wrong time must be a bit of a nightmare for the devs.

Only sorry’s and we’ll find another way.

      I don't think it's like a real D&D session. In a real D&D session a DM can make new story paths out of your failures or at least turn it into a laugh. In BG3 failure usually either locks you out of content or it kills you and you have to redo things you already did in a previous save. In a real D&D session if you die you just continue on with a new character. The DM doesn't say "your party has died so now we have to restart the campaign and do plotlines you already did before"

    Not gonna lie, this interaction kinda felt like the party getting in the way with the DMs plans for an NPC, then comming up with some BS on the fly to avoid too much inconsistencies with what the DM has planned for the future. I highly doubt any Orthon would just enter a second contract with someone who actively trapped them to not complete it (we don't even know what Yugir got out of the contract, and if it was annuled by the fake loophole)

Not to mention the 0% of player agency in that scene, you just stand there and watch it unfold. No option to convince him to attack him now, no option to play this as your modus operandi of solving Raphaels quarrel.
      I mean, why even have the successful check earlier, showing how uncomfortable Raphael is with the idea of helping the Orthon vs just killing it, if going down that path just results in railroading? Sure, you get a little bit of drama with Astarion, but that's about it

    I know gameplay wise why they had Yurgir sign a new contract with Raphael, that way he’d be at the House of Hope and help you fight Raphael (assuming you helped him break his contract or passed the persuasion check).
    However it would be nice if you could argue back at Raphael after he said “nowhere does it stipulate that you could subcontract the last kill….” by asking “ok, but is there anywhere in the contract specifically stipulating he can’t subcontract the last kill?”
    Or if in the instance of this video you kill the final justiciar before meeting Yurgir meaning he never subcontracted it out and it’s not his fault that you just happened to kill him then it shouldn’t be a breach of contract that someone else happened to fulfill the final part of the contract, you could argue that he never subcontracted it out and thus is not in breach of contract.
    Finally if could knock the justiciar out and pick him up (or control him via some spell), and then bring him to Yurgir and let him strike the final blow thus fulfilling the contract if you got unique dialogue for that

    I wonder... could you lure the justiciar to yugir? Like, maybe pick up rats as a weapon at throw them at yurgir? Or just lure him to the ambush in phase 2?

    The only reason I got this cutscenes is cause I went on one of those… kill/loot sprees 😂

    Mean while I let the rats go without knowing and when I got close he attacked.

    Raphael is getting cheeky with the logic. Sure the contract didnt say he was allowed to let tav kill the last one, but it also doesnt say you cant either.

    I legit did this because I was afraid of fighting him so I explored the the rest of the map first and killed the rat man. I was so confused once I got to the devil and accidentally pissed off Astarian

    Astarion gets real pissed. I had to just attacks this guy instead of talking cause it would trigger him going with rahpeal

    I so want to play as Astarion in my next play of the game (I never finshed act 3, I just keep playing over from the start >_>) But having a playthough where I don't hear him talking just feels wrong.
