Hey Larianettes!
Hope you had a lovely weekend. I'm just flagging this again, as the issue is still preventing me from continuing this absolute masterpiece of a game.
I'd like to ask you to please, please, please consider a hotfix ASAP to
revive Dammon in Act 2. Just bring him back to life and plop him in the stable, please. Or maybe give us an alternative to fix Karlach like is provided in the grove?
Dammon explicitly tells you to look for him in the city, so many of us didn't even realize he was in the barn at Last Light until wayyyy too late. Exploration early in Act 2 is also discouraged by the shadow curse, powerful enemies, ambushes, etc. It's also so difficult to prevent Isobel from being knocked out that I had no idea it was possible to prevent it. (I save scummed twice and she kept getting ganked before my characters could even act, so I just assumed her kidnapping was a necessary plot point.)
It's a perfect storm that causes lots of people to miss this incredibly important moment and completely bricks the game if you're romancing Karlach. And why would anyone not romance Karlach? Are they threatened by strong, earnest women seeking bodily autonomy? Seems kinda sus, honestly.
Again, thanks so much for this game. It's already provided me with 60+ hours of incredible gameplay. Looking forward to putting in many more hours once this is fixed.
