Without any kind of encouragement. Can you please, just stop. This is not a funny side note either, it's the main quest.
I don't know what kind of atmosphere they have stirred up at Larian offices but this is getting completely over the top. In another context, watching a D&D parody, I would find this funny. But I'm going through a story where people are getting gruesomely murdered and this little scene out of the blue was distracting as hell. How the hell am I supposed to take anything in this game seriously, even when it's serious and well written? Something ridiculous will happen in 30 seconds again.
Larian, learn to frame your narrative, please. Stick with a chosen genre. Focus.
