I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the first meeting with Gortash during his inauguration looks very strange. He literally stands in front of all the nobility of Baldur's Gate and bragging about how he drove them into a trap, how he came up with the idea of ????creating the Absolute. And it would be nice if he at least stepped aside or talked to us mentally, but during the dialogue, you can literally hear the echoes spreading throughout the hall. And all the most important people of the city do not notice this, and after the inauguration they are like: "Yes! Gortash will restore order in the city, he is a man of action!"
