Also, why the Githyanaki patrol doesnt land near the crushed Nautiloid but instead way off? They are searching for an artifact that is supposedly on the ship. And they seem pretty unconcerned about being discovered by anyone.
That’s a good point... come to think of it, you’re also on the ship with Lea’Zal before it attacks Baldurs Gate, and we see it warp in. They teleport us into the ship with our weapons and armor... seems like they could use some magic to remove that so that we don’t like... idk... break out and take over the ship.
You point out a lot of really good observations. I think, generally speaking, the storytelling is all over the place. Idk what the issue is but no one seems to be talking to each other. The art doesn’t support the themes, the gameplay doesn’t reinforce the narrative. The mercs outside of Druid Grove are the only characters I’ve encountered that are visually match their situation and identity.
I kind of suspect we’re not supposed to apply such a critical eye to it, just kind of an excuse to romp through some dungeons, maybe. I guess I’m ok with that since my moneys already gone.
You’re absolutely right, exposition shouldn’t be something you can interact with. Kagha should’ve killed the girl when we weren’t there. There should be wounded tieflings on the ground from previous goblin attacks. People shouldn’t have to say ‘we’re no fighters’ they should just not look like fighters.
