Sneak everywhere and find as many secrets, nooks and crannies as possible, pickpocket important looking characters, romance Shadowheart, RP a 100 year old Neutral Evil drow half elf Thief that worships Hoar, has and “eye for an eye” mentality (Astarion is already dead, just don’t know it yet), doesn’t take sht from anyone and despises weaknesses in himself and others. Absolutely refuses to accept the tadpole. Murders anyone who does.
So many of y'all seem so ready to murder companions. I've only once, ever, gotten fussed with Astarion on THAT night. Only once have I taken the attack Lae'zel option when you re-encounter her. I think I've killed Gale twice, maybe three times, but that's a bummer because of the effect it has after a couple more rests.
These are companions... they're like... I dunno, the workmates who are annoying, but you need them around to do their job so that you don't have to. Why is everyone slaughtering them willy-nilly as if they were gobbos? (... says the dude who plans his first 1.0 playthough to be I <3 tadpole ...)
