At the temple, when you refuse to accept the Lord of Murder and are subsequently killed, does it bother anyone else that your companions and your love interest just stand around?
No grief, no parting words, not even a look of shock before Withers shows up. Not even a fade to black 'Nooooo' or something from any one of your friends?
You do get commentary after revival, but I can't help feeling this is really missing some kind of grief reaction. You're dead after resisting in this huge story line moment for your character and then nothing.
Anyone else feel this way?
I really wish they'd add something there. The entire scene is awesome and this is the only thing that continues to bother me.
At the end of the day they realize that it’s all about Family! Your family business with your sis and your daddy is your own and they prob don’t want to talk too much else the Lord of Murder may do the same thing to them so they better stay out of family business .
Lucky enough your good Uncle Withers is also present to give you a hand
The whole game is like this. You and your party members will just stand around watching while one of you is getting wrecked.
The temple scene is focused on your character tho, so it makes sense that the companions are not seen or heard for most of it. And at least Astarion will start walking towards you before Withers shows up and he backs off.
Honestly? I dislike the whole scene of the Dark Urge, if you resist Bhaal. To me it's a massive cop out for a number of reasons:
-Bhaal casually being able to turn Orin into the Slayer against her will and draining the essence from Dark Urge. When other gods can barely do anything, Bhaal just does whatever he wants, which is basically 2 divine interventions in a row. -The whole death by Bhaal and instant resurrection by Withers. That’s just a massive case of "Only the author can save them now!" Bhaal should be tormenting the Dark Urge, breaking their mind, something really instead of this. -Cheap as hell ending. While Shadowheart and others have to choose between hard choices, Dark Urge just gets rid of their urges, no strings attached. The choice should be between retaining the Urge, their powers but being tormented by Bhaal for the rest of life or getting rid of them, but at a steep cost like living on borrowed time. Or something similar.
Companion reactions aside, Dark Urge is simply unfinished just like the game itself.

This 10000000%!
But does Bhaal really turn Orin into Slayer against her will? I assumed she was willing. Looked like she wanted that 'blessing' too? Am I missing something?

Youtube, if you find out about her past, she basically breaks down.

This really bothered me as well. I don't feel like Tav deserves a 'perfect' ending here, when nobody except for Gale gets one, and even he doesn't get exactly what he wants, which caused him to be in that situation in the first place.
You can ask Withers to have him let you remember your victims, as a sort of self inflicted atonement, but perhaps having Withers simply force that upon you as atonement would be a better outcome. At least it'd be something.
I was so deep in the scene, everything was wonderfully exciting. I even hold my breath. But it must have been really boring for my companions and my love interest must have fallen asleep. That really freaked me out. Do they care about me?
a short scene of despair, emotions, something. Please

She is a Terrible villain and tragic one too.
Umm, how do you unlock it tho? I did kill Sarevok, after he shared the fact that Orin's his granddaughter, found his book in which he shared his incestuous secrets AND used speak with the dead on her mother and I got a different meltdown scene from her, in which she called me a piggy and a liar. And in which she welcomed Bhaal, so how do you get the religion check there? Is it even possible on "good" Durge where you cleanse every major Bhaalist you can?
