I'm sorry, my game is half german, which makes figuring out names a hassle. I mean the guys in Zhentarim hideout and their iron flask retrieval quest.
Ah, the Zhentarim!
Yes, I agree that as long as you don't find yourself down at the bottom when someone chucks an alchemist's fire flask and sets the whole place ablaze, it's not a hugely difficult fight, and I agree the tactics of the enemies could be improved.
But while I think it could and should be better, I'm not sure that it should be a
particularly hard fight, especially if you're level 4 or even 3 when you get there. These are just common criminals, and there's no indication that they're particularly high up in the organisation. I'm sure we'll get to fight harder battles later in the game if we continue to be a thorn in the side of the Zhentarim!
Well, it would be more challenging to face the straight up, i.e. starting in the area where they have all the explosive barrels, which is what is intended. But, then again, they had roughly a turn or two to light that up and they didn't in my last play through. I'd be better, I think, if the other Zhentarim who are guarding the 'hoard' came and helped them out, at least the player would be out-numbered in that case.
I would gladly accept the wet sock reveal for comedy purposes. Though, she probably shouldn't rush at the party all alone. Maybe they've gotten more hesistant at throwing alchemist's fire because Larian wants to allow us to free the guy + painter. Maybe it's an accident. I don't know.
Still, she's such a nasty, annoying, entitled woman. It would be even funnier If approaching the rest of the Zhentarim forces a cutscene. What If they're not even interested in killing you? It's not working out and nobody misses that b*tch. None of these people are the loyal, upright sort... why follow an Idiot to the death...
