I had no issues with Cazador. I definitely use daylight smack dab in the middle of the room. If the devs are going to go out of their way to show us the Astarion/Petras scene where he shoves Petras' face in the sunlight and it flakes off in ash, they're clearly showing us this is a vampire's weakness. Whether the player wants to use that weakness to their advantage is up to themselves.

I have the entire party on the bridge, then cut off the entry point with two walls of fire. The first wall of fire is for the bat swarms, and the second wall of fire is for the werewolves who try and jump the first. As Cazador is running towards my characters, I put one fire Elemental, one water Elemental and 1 radiant guardian surrounding him. If he so much as moves, they get an opportunity attack. You can also throw a Mind Sanctuary down. On tactician mode it originally makes bonus actions the same as actions; on Honour mode, it changed it to "Hasten creatures within it." I also use Danse Macabre as a "meat shield," in the unlikely event that any enemy makes their way past two walls of fire, the ghouls create another barrier. On Astarion's turn, I make him use ranged disarming attack and Cazador drops his weapon. Within 2-3 turns Cazador is already dead.

Oooo, also thank you for the Inspiration tip! I originally chose Artisan, for the bonus insight and persuasion, but I couldn't find that many places of inspiration. Selecting Sage would definitely help seeing as spellcasters/wizards are one of my favorite classes At the very least, I can use that tip for Gale!

Aww D: That is sad I thought you wanted to kill both sovereigns. In my run, I had Glut as a follower and the Duegars killed him. It was better he died this way. I didn't really want to kill him, and I wanted the Spaw rewards :3

Regarding sentimental attachment to NPCs, I put Raphael in my backpack on one of my runs. Originally he was the Stage 2 version, which was even cooler looking, but after a long rest he reverted to his devil version. I felt sad killing him, because when you go to the House of Hope, you can find his journal entries chronicling and following a bunch of adventurers I was like AWWWW, Raphael likes us and I killed him for armor *sigh* Sometimes I take him out and take pictures with him.

It turns out, if your throw him, he lands on his feet and poses. I'm not questioning it:

That is hilarious! How did you even discover that? Is Raphael's corpse the only one that can perform that trick? Apparently he can even land with his arms crossed. Amazing!

I had a lot of fun, the new difficulty brought tension and made me play very carefully at different times for fear of losing my save. I used some cosmetic mods and ended up in romance with Gale and it was simply magical!

I made some new choices for the ending, like promising the crown to Rapahel and not delivering... The scene of him coming and charging Gale at the end is epic!

I loved honor mode!

How to put a Raphael trophy in one's camp! XD

After the House of Hope battle, I felt sad leaving Raphael so I picked him up and put him in my backpack. At the time he was in his Stage 2 form, so he looked like this:


When I got to camp, I took him out and flew him around. Just imagine Astarion ballerina lifting Raphael up in the air, twirling him around, and that's what I was doing xD Then I realized there's the "throw" option, so in my mind I was like... I wonder if he glides like a paper airplane... So I threw him 8'D

Contrary to belief, I don't normally carry around corpses, they're too heavy. I only had Raphael's body because I felt sad killing him, and I wanted him to be there when the party defeated the Netherbrain. SO, in order to test if other characters will also pose, I went back to check the other bosses.

First I went to Orin because I felt lots of people would want pictures with her, but unfortunately Orin is a gore pile:

As you can see, the "Pick Up," option is grayed out. I think it's because she dies in slayer form and explodes.

So then I went back to the House of Hope, because I figured, if Raphael lands on his feet, why not the other Cambion? Turns out I was right:


^ I actually never noticed how cool they look! Probably because we're usually trying to kill one another.

I went back, picked up Gortash, then threw him out and he also poses:

Went back and picked up Viconia, and she also poses:


If I drop them, they ragdoll like normal or sometimes T-Pose. If I pick them up, put them in my inventory, then throw them out, many seem to land on their feet and reset to idle animation. There really is no benefit to doing this, other than taking some pictures with your favorite departed NPCs.

Your screenshots were really pretty. I actually find the quality of the cutscenes seems to be clearer than in-game captures. might just be that the cutscenes are closer. I really need camera mode.

I've never seen the betraying Raphael scene. I also haven't seen the scene where you take his deal xD I really want to do an Origin Gale playthrough, and ascend him to Godhood.

Can confirm, works on some other characters as well xD

I started a new Honour Mode Campaign. I figured I could only join in on the funny stories if I do this again, except as Durge this time.
I think that'll increase the Chaos by like 10% xD

So far Astarion failed the vast majority of lockpicks, which is amazing. These locks are never gonna open.
I get to Nettie, and she trapped Durge in the stone-door room by herself. The companions didn't follow, so I had to 1V1 her. She chased me around the room with a flaming boulder. So I threw grease on her to break her concentration. On her turn, she turned herself into a boar, so really, I greased a pig. When I had her trapped in the grease, I rubbed some poison on my ranged weapon and had to shoot her 5-6 times because she kept healing, reverting back to human, changing back to boar, repeat.
