Was Edwin really a Red Wizard? He still had his hair, no tattoos, and none of the Thayans we interacted with seemed to verify his rank/position.
You find some thayan wizards in the Spider woods in BG1 that seem to recognize him. If you have him in your party they speak with you and do not fight with your group.
Edwin : Should I be flaterred or amused you're still talking about me after all these years? * Those creatures are certeinly not even remotely good for anything. Yes, yes. They aren't.*
It reminds you how BG1-2 managed to create some really memorable and well-written characters, with strong, consistent, and relatable personality, even with such big roster and never going all that deep into anyone. Edwin is the awkward villain that is evil but not so evil and tends to fumble doing all his evil things, making him endearing and entertaining to have around. Especially with his "trouble" in BG2. It helps (or doesn't it?) that he's OP as heck in-game. Tbh I've always felt bad for him considering his ending after ToB.

Tbh I never understood his ending. Regardless of his form he keeps his powers so not sure why he straight up gave up on being a mage.
Alt+ left click in the inventory on an item while the camp stash is opened transfers the item there. Make it a reality.

His ending only mentions how he ends up and what led to it, but doesn't mention what really is wrong with him, other than his form being changed. We can still theorize a lot. There can be good reasons why he had to work in a tavern like that, but that doesn't mean he has really given up on his quest for power, and his situation may very well be temporary. I can imagine maybe Elminster sealed his power in some manner and Edwin's tavern work could be a punishment, to teach him some humility. They might have agreed that that would be Edwin's punishment if he lost their supposed duel, and it's possible Edwin had asked for some very powerful item, or "2000 years and a pointy hat" if he won.

Despite the cruel irony of Edwin's fate he got of lucky. Had he tried the same with Blackstaff, Mordenkainen, the Seven Sisters, Dalamar, Manshoon, Baba Yaga, Iggwilv(Tasha) or any of the other OP Archmagi in the D&d setting death would be a mercy. It's also these people who inspire me to play as a Wizard.
Hello everyone! I made a short funny video about BG3. It's a video from my campaign in which I hang out with Astarion the night after defeating the goblins. I know being a video and not an image this may not be the perfect thread to share it, but actually I think this creation of mine could be kind of a meme.
I hope you like it and if that's the case tell me what you think about it!
100% "true" story how Tav ended up being Tav Before Baldur's Gate 3 was officially announced the game was in production under the codename Project Gustav and the rest is history. Now you know.
