Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Brand of the Absolute to everyone at once

I would like to save time. If a party leader wants to put a brand, then there must be an option for all party members to receive it.

A very strange situation - we agree to put a brand, Shadow Heart does not approve. We choose Shadow Heart and she puts the stigma ... no one cares, she just does it. The dialogue with the priestess Gut is completely duplicated.

Think about it

That is something i allready adressed in other topic ...
Companions (aka origin characters) should have either limited options, so they dont do things they totally disagree with ... or they should have those options conditioned with some introspectional diceroll to show their internal struggle between doing the right (or wrong respectively) thing and their own moral compas (simmilar as we have seen in first gameplay video, wheren Astartion rolled Wisdom against himself).

Right now, when you will be playing as Shadowhearth, you can hate Githyanki so hard, so you will agree in everything, help in any way, and finaly shag Lae'zel ...
Wich simply dont seem right. :-/

As for brand ... yes, you should be able to brand everyone (once aggain conditioned with some persuation roll, especialy for those who disagree), if not with gut, then in camp when you stole that branding iron.

One of my post-release playthroughs will be with Laezel. I really want to play a romance with Shadow Heart playing as Laezel or vice versa. It will be ... well, I just have to see what the developers do in this case.

Yeah that moment where Sassyheart disapproves it and accepts it herself no problems, feels like
" Hey excuse me, Heart - but... can I slap you like really quick for a moment please? "

Or in general;

We do something and then someone disapproves who isn't even there and in the camp instead.

People talks ... and our brains are connected BTW.
I see no problem in dis/approvement for characters that are not in group curently.

If you plan to eventually wipe out the goblins, is there a way to get this brand after you kill the priestess? I believe it is needed for those gloves that give bane on hit so that they do it to your target and not to yourself?

I didn't try to use that brand myself. But the priestess leaves it where she brands you and it's works as a weapon.
