the straight path makes you cross running water. If you don't jump with Astarion first, he will try to go around the running water (to avoid taking damage) and while the rest of the team is slogging through knee-high water, Astarion goes past the shrine and to the back of the cave with the owlbear cub. The owlbear aggroes and you miss the dialogue options with the mother owlbear.
Interesting. I'd seen Astarion go running off somewhere but hadn't realised it'd excluded what would've been my preferred option.
Even when have to jump with a single character takes multiple tries and a lot of time, finding that tiny spot where is possible to land.
Ugh, yeah, the "highlight that one specific pixel" thing. Funny how I'm so good at doing it when I don't want to, but when I
need to do it I spend literally six months hovering the mouse around trying to find it. Literally: I was 18 years old when I started playing BG3 and I'm now about to celebrate my 287th birthday.
