Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion [Major DUrge Spoilers] Regarding that intervention's lack of narrative consequence

First Bhaal just seems like the most inefficient god and overstepping boundries of other gods. First you murder Alfira or Quill, without any Player agency, which is fine. Problem is this is the only time that happens. Next time you get those urges and are forced against them is in Act 2, sure, you can murder Isobel or your romanced partner, but 2 dc 14 wisdom saving throws and everything works out fine.

Then you get to the endgame and Bhaal can force Orin to turn into the Slayer, even if she resists, which is like a divine intervention. And after you kill her and reject Bhaal, he just takes away the taint and kills you??? It made sense, when Sarevok died, but not here. Worse still, any semblance of heroic sacrifice is gone, as you immediately get brought back by Withers.

Shadowheart or anyone you romanced doesn’t rush towards you, revivify not working, etc. Even if we work under assumption that you resisted the Urge pretty much all the time, you are still responsible for the whole Absolute plot. Getting an easy way out like this just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
