BTW. For the record, I never said I LIKED the idea of him being Jergal. I'm just guessing based on the evidence that he is.
I honestly don't care. I never use Withers' powers because he isn't needed. Plenty of revivify scrolls that work days after someone dies. It's much less expensive... And that only IF I die. He's like a lawn ornament at Halloween to me.
And if you don't like him, psst... Don't open his sarcophagus. 🤪
He shows up automatically under certain circumstances iirc. You are also robbing yourself of one of the most useful EA utility items if you don't open it, and potentially missing out on a
ton of unrelated content as a result.
So I think 'just don't wake him up' is far from an ideal solution. And this all doesn't really address the critique of 'why did Larian write a scenario where you are introduced to one of the most important characters in the setting right out the gate in Act I only to go all 'pay no attention to the
ancient god 'lich' standing off to the side in your camp' and utilize him as a debug vendor?
