i failed my persuasion checks, and entered combat.

beat it in one move by rushing to murder the Flayer lol, saved the 3 fishermen


Lol yeah I saw that to. I failed my checks, but luckily Larian added this wonderful button that says 'knock unconscious.' I didn't even think to
smack tentacle face right out of the gate
This brings me to another thing I love.

There is always more than one way to overcome an encounter. I have played through EA 3 times; and every single time, I try to overcome a challenge differently. Even something as simple as coming to the encounter from a different cardinal direction can completely change the outcome.


That is awesome I did the Hypertion solution but I never even thought of the knock unconscious button and i knew it was there lol.

The opening battle at the
druid grove gate
really chances if you activate the battle from atop of the cliff to the south instead of walking between the high ground. I ironically did it that way the first time in total ignorance of what the encounter was and came from a different direction the next time and didn't realize it was the same location and it was a lot tougher without the high ground. Terrain makes huge differences in the game. One time I did that battle i cast grease and a NON companion NPC cast firebolt on it to ignite it. It was awesome watching the AI know to do so.
