Orin: *death threats*
Durge: don’t care incest baby. L + ratio

[vante]

"You're grandpa is your dad and your mom is your sister" *vine boom* "Your mom/sister also tried to kill you" *double vine boom* "And it was your dad/grandpa who told her to do it" *reverberating vine boom*

[Mikito]

Jokes aside, its not the incest that drove Orin mad. Its the realization that her mentor/idol manipulated her entire existence, and that she was as used & insignificant as the mother/sister she spent her whole life hating.

[andrid.eighteen]

Orin: I did everything for him... everything...
Bhaal: How about a round of Gwent?

[pamsp]

I LOVE that they decided to made Bhaal's voice calm and collected, way more chilling

[Guldrimand]

I gotta say I actually really love the moment Orin realizes she’s not a bhaalspawn just ones sacrifice.

[ahorseofcourse]

"Murder and cannibalism and brainwashing are okay in my book, but I draw the line at incest! What are we, British royalty?!"

[velinas_]

For a creature so full of herself, Orin is very squemish about something of limited consequence in terms of power or her personal ethics. That was a choice made by others, no more and no less.

[TheMannCrux]

I never thought I would feel pity for Orin. Well played Larian.

[gwyndlin]

Orin's voice actor is so fucking incredible. Her delivery of every line is perfection.

[PastafarianLemur]

DUrge: Orin, let me put it this way *instructs bard party-member to start playing dueling banjos*
Orin:

[mhill]

As creepy as he looks, the Butler does look sharp.

Also, so weird to hear Geralt as Bhaal.

[DeadManProp]

Incredible how many different paths and outcomes this game has. I just completed it and I am completely unfamiliar with other people's cutscenes.

[thebygoneking]

For those confused why Orin reacts this way to this information, it’s not because of the incest.

Orin reacts this way because it’s a realization that she is in-fact not a Bhaalspawn. Her father is Sarevok, and her mother was an unknown doppelgänger. She has no parental relation to Bhaal, meaning she has absolutely no claim over the role of chosen in Bhaal’s cult, and furthermore than she is effectively a nobody who usurped the entire cult for herself without the birthright to ever do so.

It isn’t the fact that her mother is also her sister that destroys her. It’s the fact that an image she has been building for herself as a form of control effectively gets completely shattered right in front of her, and she doesn’t have the emotional tools to correct the fallout from her shattered self image.

[GarlicPudding]

Having the player character get squicked out by the transformation was a nice touch. Your expression goes from stoic to *genuinely unnerved*.

[xphon]

I like how when the transformation starts, the player character backs away with the vibe of "oh my, how unsightly"

[rosesareredbutzerglingssti]

Trick question: what happens if you use the option 4 ("Bhaal rejoices in such cruel betrayals. You really believed you were the exception")?

[TomMathesonColes]

Its the same reaction you get if you sneak into the room below the fight platform and perform speak with dead on her mothers corpse, she tells you that sarevok ordered her to kill orin and orin didnt know that.

[AlexisTheDragon]

How odd, why would she of all people be grossed out by this?

This is like extremely vanilla by their standards.

[Toffeehammer]

Man. You know I always knew Sarevok was a bad guy but I didn't know he was a BAD guy.
