So this is gonna be a big spoiler tag watch out. Now I don't know if this has been mentioned before or has been fixed but I've been lazy and only got around to bring it up now and didn't find anything about it in the patch notes (as far as I remember) it happend around patch 1 think so correct me if it has been changed and if you haven't done both sides of act 1 and won't NO act 1 spoilers just don't click.

If you
  • 1
    kill the druids at the grove
  • 2
    then tell the goblins where the grove is ignore them have them as they raid (This is a maybe I am not sure was my first playthrough).
  • 3
    Proceed to save Halsin tell Halsin you killed the druids for what they were gonna do he accepts it but when he proceeds to return to the grove only to learn the goblins raided.
  • 4
    We then proceeded to kill all the goblins leaders because screw them this isn't what we wanted we want Halsin!

Here is where I feel like stuff starts not adding up....

If you side with the goblins Wyll and Karlach leaves you for your actions. They did not leave us they basically didn't view it as us having sided with the goblins, but Halsin attacked us at our camp a few nights later and there is no option at all to explain anything he just gets mad at you despite already being aware you killed the druids and perhaps being aware you also killed the goblins.

Karlach and Wyll doesn't care which they should but he does overall it just feels a bit confusing and unintended? Like only half the characters are aware of what happend and it might be because we weren't at the grove during the raid but still why does Halsin care then? Feels like this weird back and forth accidental path could use a revisit if it hasn't because you can easily accidentally tell the goblins the location in the heat of the moment but either Karlach and Wyll should be aware of it and Halsin should be act different because he is aware you killed the druids or he should yeah idk something that feels more logical? Hard to put words on it. I am fine if it is the intended outcome the interactions just feel off.

The reason I decided to eventually post this is because it feels like such an edge case it might not have been experienced a lot? lol


To clarify why we did the way we did:

We were trying to be double double agents playing both sides to stall the situation we weren't actually trying to raid the grove LOL.
