Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Isobel Fight?

I got fairly lucky with this I guess. I planned on being a "good guy" in my first playthrough so I rolled up a paladin which i didn't play as in EA. But I accidentally killed a tiefling when rescuing Lae'zel and broke my oath 30 minutes in. I meant to pommel strike but did a regular attack and killed him. So I just went with it, helped destroy grove and such. I didn't go full evil, i just went selfish. I did not rest before entering act 2, but i did after the shadow and Harper fight before entering the inn. After arriving at the inn i eventually went to talk to Isobel. I ran into Markus and spoke to him and he told me his plans to kidnap her. So I chose to attack him from the conversation. That let me know what he wanted and I was able to stop the kidnapping the first try. I'm not sure Markus would tell you his plans if he didn't already think you were on the Absolute's side. If that is the case, it's one of the few benefits from going a more evil route. Doesn't make up for all the quests I can't get, or the fact that Karlach wanted nothing to do with me after the Grove got destroyed so I was forced to kill her. Fine I just decided to kill her but still.
