And furthermore, to get that one "good" option, I often will need to have done something else first. So even if the game in general is very nonlinear, the perfectly good playthrough *is* very linear, where you have to do certain things in the game in a fixed sequence. So, ironically, this is the one cRPG that I will necessarily have to play *only* with a really well-detailed game guide/walkthrough helping me to metagame my choices and actions.

Nah. If you've not played it yet and intend to, I would advise you not to spoil it for yourself by looking everything up in advance. Just go with your gut and make good (alignment) choices and you'll be fine.


No, he won't.

If he chooses to let Wyll become duke, Karlach dies as the only way to convince her to seek salvation and a fix in Avernus is for Wyll to take her there or you romance her. Similar "good aligned" options also end up dooming many characters. If you elect to trust the Emperor as a good character because he's given you no reason to to doubt him, you end up not pursuing the hammer and Orpheus gets his brains eaten, while Hope remains a captive in Raphael's House. Other examples also exist, like making Myreena put down her husband, even though there's hope he may be revived.
