Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion [END SPOILS WARNING] Addressing Karlach (PLEASE PUT SPOILERS IN TAGS)

Karlach agrees to return to Avernus?

That's very good news. In fact, I think it's gonna be fine.

Ah, nono, the lead-up to that...

Yeah, Fane from DOS:2, had a pick between bad and worse in endings and almost a year later it was fixed in Definitive Edition. Yes, there's hope, but its far away. And that's ok with me. I'd love if Larian addressed it properly.

For what it's worth, I'm with you on this. Have no problem with putting the game on hold for however long it takes.

Cant you say what in this added lines written, please?

Karlach is a doomer in Act 3 now

Sure looks that way, yeah!

Thank you for answer!
I have memory issues, but this dialogue sounds familiar... Im sure I get it before path 2.
In patch 2 update announce they saying that they are adding new lines about her engine in Act 1 and Act 2, but i don`t hear anything about adding it in Act 3...
By the way. someone already saw this new 1-2 Act lines?

Oh, I honestly don't think I've had anything new in the first two Acts :| - started the game from scratch after Patch 2.

Edit: and, yeah, may totally be on me... stumbled over so many bugs my first two times through Act III that I don't even know what's what anymore...

Same here, got nothing new in Act 1 and 2. Put the playthrough on hold and considering trying a full Karlach playthrough

Same here, gonna put it on hold entirely until things stabilise even further, now I'm confused more than anything else...

Yeah, I started my 2nd playthrough two days before the patch2 and it looks more less the same for me as my first playthrough. I'm Act1 in goblin stronghold, enjoying the game very slowly, because I don't want to enter act3 as long as possible.

I'm starting to think, that they want us to go to avernus, maybe because future content, dlc killing Zariel or something like that.

But still fully hoping for fixing the engine and have nice life with my tav in BG at the end

That would actually be the perfect theme for a DLC, but it would still work if
Kinda' like in Mass Effect, the more you do at the beginning, the more you get near the ending, could swing into buffs, resistances, a lotta good stuff...

As for what the motivation would be in this case, well... pure payback sounds plenty good to me... I mean

ah my friends i come here to make sure we get good ending for karlach Lets go My friends

JUSTICE FOR KARLACH

I've gotten some new (to me) dialogue with Karlach in Acts I and II - very short scenes which emphasize the increasingly desperate nature of her condition.

I don't understand why game developers in this day so obsessive with Tragick.No.Good.Way characters. This obsessed grow so much that more and more often start appearing even in games that promoted as a game about roleplay, choices and possibilities, in a genre where situation without a choice and way outs just don't fit well.
Like I even understand this kind of characters when its a lineage game (or game where choices don`t affect much on the story), when story work for it and game not about roleplay and rpg on the first place. But when this trope going to choices-centric games, where choice - is a main thing of the genre... I don`t know, it`s just wrong.
Be honest, Karlach situation feelings like she or her story is just from another game. More lineage and dark atmosphere game, like Drakengard or something.
What Im trying to say: Take away the ability of making a choice in game about choices in genre about choices - just wrong.

I thought there was going to be some kind of quest in avernus, too.

It's funny and it's really true))))))
