1) Wyll joined my party at camp after I defeated the goblins - but I never actually went into the druid grove to meet him, and then at camp he yelled at me for defeating the goblins without him and it was strange. I was like "who are you and why are you mad at me?"
2) Underdark monsters get 2 attacks for my 1, and miss very infrequently - especially the Kuo-Toa at the shrine of BOOOAL. I found myself savescumming a bit here, though not nearly as much as...
3) The goblin camp. If you infiltrate the goblin camp by getting Sazza to vouch for you, you can get all the way inside and then have to fight your way out. This was good and well and I was able to clear out the shrine from the back. It was fun and rewarding to "outsmart" the goblins. That said, once you reach the front gate, my pride turned sour. It's the only way out of the camp, and the instant you step through the doors, you have the ENTIRE surface camp on you - they all join combat at once and you're standing under an ogre when you pop in. It took me
hours of savescumming to clear it.
4) Also, the moon door puzzle broke for me so I thought I was stuck - the perception check to find the pickable lever in the moon door room doesn't have very good feedback for the location of the object, and there's no way to highlight it after the initial shine effect goes away.
5) Volo was doing his thing with the icepick, and a lot of the cutscenes for that whole...exchange...showed my character model in the wrong place or totally nonexistent. Love the end results of that, though. Funny scene that had me squirming.
6) In the underdark, when you encounter the Society of Brilliance, and the bugbear is speaking telepathically to his "friend" off-camera, I don't know if it was meant to not show who he was speaking to during his first line, but the moment the mind flayer crossed my screen and came into view I actually shrieked a little. It was such a good shock moment for me and I want to praise whoever designed it. Wasn't sure if not seeing the illithid at first was a bug or not, but it was an incredible, tense moment the way it played out.
