A little bit about datamining and cut out, and what kind of holes were formed in the companions. A lot of things here are not even related to datamining, but to what is left in the game. First, I'll tell about Kasador and Astarion. Their plot very clearly suffers from narrative holes. City Judge Astarion lives an ordinary life. (after all, his story about corruption was removed). One day he is attacked by monster hunters (Gur) and beaten half to death because of something. But out of nowhere and it is not clear why Kasador appears and turns him. (let's say it's a real coincidence). But why the Gur attacked is still not known. Next, we meet one of the gurs, kill him, and ask who sent him - Maiden Fel sent him. He doesn't know Casador. And then, it turns out that the Gur were looking for Astarion, because he gave their children to Casador. Did the corpse lie to me? And here are the monster hunters and the spawn of vampires that have kidnapped THEIR CHILDREN. And they decide....to reconcile? Rili? What about Meiden Fel? After one failed attempt to capture Astarion, Kasador simply waits for Astarion. But we will generally go far from Baldur's Gate. He doesn't know why we're there. In my opinion, even without the cut data, this is a simplification of the characters. Astarion is only a victim. Casador is only evil. It is sad. About Voss Without a datamine, many people dont know that at the end we meet the dragon of Voss. Why is he all battered and his attitude towards us has changed? About Raphael Raphael offering a deal to rid us of a tadpole that leads nowhere and just gets hung up? About Halsin Halsin, who killed Isobella, is in fact guilty of the curse Such examples, I think, are full of the rest. And it saddens me to see how much the characters have been simplified. We no longer have that depth. I loved BG3 for its depth. I still love this game but it's sad to see how things have changed
