So 3-4 origin sidequest we "commit to" (amount depending if you go custom or origin ourselves) for playthrough.
Eh ... no, or at least that is not what i expect.
I litteraly said single main-story-quest depending on who you will "commit to" ...
There is nothing to indicate that our companons won't want our help if we won't sleep with them, as you suggested.
Did i?
Can you please quote me that part where i did that? Since im not aware of that ... i gues you simply missunderstand me somewhere.
Yes, it was the same in D:OS2.
In act1 we can switch between companions (though not as conveniently as in BG3). At the transition between act1&2 all companions not in your party were killed (reappearing briefly against you later in the story)
but instead we gain the ability to hire-merceneries. You know, in case of the companions dies or we just want to branch out.
I didnt play any D:OS ... and just for the record im not even planning it, those game dont feel appealing to me in any way.
Not sure what you mean by this ...
So, if you wanted to get Fighter to your group bcs it needed Fighter, you had to get rid of someone permanently?
Why is that a problem? I mean, if your group desperately need a Fighter, but have no use for Rogue, why would you need to keep the Rogue around? O_o
we are all revealed as godwoken, and are introduced to gods
That would probably not surprise me either.
I expect more or less something like that for finalle of BG3. Still, parasite will remain an issue and rejecting/using its powers will remain the central point of the story. We ain't getting done with it yet. It's "seduction" is yet to be developed.
That is certainly one scenario im working with ...
Another one would be that we will remove our parasites and think we are all finaly safe ... but then, our tadpole dream will come back ... and we find out that even tho we are not tadpoled anymore (and therefore cannot turn to Mind Flayers), the amount of time we carried it changed us so much, so the Absolute still posses a threat against us.
And therefore we will continue in all this you mentioned ... rejecting/using its powers, "seduction", etc.
We might even end as either part of the Absolute (since it dont seem like single deity to me) ... or its destroyer.
Q&A was a while back, so it is not impossible that Larian will walk back on the statement they made. The removal of spare companions in D:OS2 was especially puzzing to me, as they didn't seem to really find time to make advantage of the killed companions. Perhaps, they have some unfulfill vision/ideas that they want to explore fully in BG3. It might not be terrible if they end up doing something unique and cool with abandoned companions.
I really hope they will not die ...
My biggest hope quite honestly is that we will indeed in Act 1 go our own way everyone, but as we "commit" to someone, someone else (the second Origin character that was made in pair with him) will come later in the story to bite us in the ass.
The perfect example here is Shadowheart:
If you pick her ... somewhere in the future, you will be ambushed by Githyanki raiders that will go for her artefact ... and one of them will be Lae'zel ... unless you killed her before ... in that case Beretha, unless you killed her before too ... and in that case probably that Kith'rak (since i doubt we will fight with so high rank anytime sooner).
On the contrary ... if you pick Lae'zel, you will be Ambushing Sharites that are suppose to posses the artefact ... and one of them will be Shadowheart.
This kind of twists i really like and really hope to see. :P
Nothing but to wait and find out, I guess.
Well, that is without a doubt.
But we can theoretize meanwhile. :P
