You missed the most horrible choice of the entire game: give Scratch back to the abusive kennel lady.

[joshdaniels]

The Emperor telling you to kill Minsc was the reddest of flags.

[intheflesh]

Most cursed decision is letting Karlach transform into a mindflayer and then betray her when facing the netherbrain

[sharlockshacolmes]

Killing Minsc is just depressing especially with him being the kindest purest soul in the game and Boo running toward his corpse

[TheHorreK]

Damn betraying shadowheart really hurt... she had such great ups and downs in her story...

[ivcihpu]

You can actually save Will and his father, you have to save Will from this contract, go to Iron Throne and cover the father with Pixie Blessing (Pixie from lantern act 2) or with Sphere of Immunity, and all the spiderlings blow up, but don't cause any damage, then you save him from prison and so you tricked Mizora, and you even can laugh at her, that she didn't succeed - This game is amazing

[dracoreeper]

The wild part is how op invisibility is, you can literally bypass somethings in this game. Save volo without having to worry about the fire, just have someone be invisible and stand next to him or free him before cutscene triggers.

You can even skip like the whole kethric fight and just fight the avatar of myrkul, you need to find all the letters and notes from the main floor of moonrise, same floor as balthazaars room, when you free nightsong and then confront kethric you can persuade him to surrender and not even fight him till you get to the mind flayer colony below, and LITERALLY INVISIBILITY TO NIGHTSONG before confronting kethric, and then you keep sweet talkin the dude to make him force surrender himself to myrkul, bro this game is wild on the ways to tackle a situation.

I recently started a Dark Urge evil run and found that my min/maxing gamer heart cannot bear how much you lose by picking evil options for either no or very little gain. It seems like this is something they might patch: more evil companions, more quest chains that you can do as an evil person to replace a lot of the quest chains you miss out on by killing the NPCs you'd need to save to see them later, etc.

[sturmbnnuy]

Wow, I saved and reloaded to see Astarion transformation, and my dialogue when he ascended wasn't bad. He was just happy that he didn't need to fear the sun anymore and that Cazador was dead. Apparently, it changes depending on what we've been doing.

[reditoao]

Make sure to feed all your companions the astral tadpole, leaving them hideously disfigured for life

[fornapa]

To be honest, I actually think I did the Gondian quest one step more evil in my Durge run. I told the guy in the factory I would save their families, went on the sub and stepped onto the Iron Throne but as soon as we landed I went back causing it to explode, killing everyone. Back in the factory I used deception to convince Toobin his daughter is safe, caused all the collars to explode and then used the Runepowder Bomb to destroy the factory. Toobin was the only Gondian alive at this point and Wulbren told him he saw his daughters corpse floating in the water. Toobin called me a bastard then we all ganged up on him and killed him. Fun times!

When I tried to save volo in act 3, I took out all the goons and didn’t notice the trail of fire. I started looting the corpses and….boom goes volo.

[Bloodlustian]

Yea... Your Astarion assencion and mine were very difficult.

Mine was more glad that he was free of Cazador and happy that we didn't need to release 10000 vampire spawn into the city to forever feed on the populous. It was the best way to deal with it.

[AshtarteD]

The really stupid part of Wyll's soul deal is it is so damn easy to accidently not save the Duke because blowing up the Steel Legion causes the Iron Throne to also explode and wipe out everyone inside. Something you can't possibly know will happen and the game makes no warning like major choices earlier in the game.

[Syaharcher]

Sadly, if you didn’t keep Jahira alive in act 2 (I snuck around and went upstairs, but she died), then you can’t save/recruit Minsc

[Ohtrin]

One freaking funny thing about exploding the factory is that if you have summons, they all stay behind and absolutely fine inside the control room (stuck until you dismiss them tho). xD

[Lord_zeel]

I had fun murdering Lorroakan and looting his vaults. I lied to him about having killed the Nightsong (I freed her) but I wasn't sure I trusted that he wouldn't come after me/her anyway. So instead I slammed him pretty hard and had a nice stroll through his vaults. Got a pretty sick staff out of it.

[Chiefqueef]

He doesn’t just get an upgraded vampire bite, he also get an guaranteed 10 necrotic damage per hit and gives you people to help in the final fight

[NoxMedicant]

The worst is handing scratch to the abusive houndhandler lady. That one really hurts.

[scorpiowarrior]

Betraying shadowheart just seems fucking unthinkable. Like she's with you FROM THE START....through evreything and you just....throw her away
