You also did definitely skip over dialogue as the game very specifically introduces you are shielded by the artefact when you meet the three shrouded figures (who try to mind control you right then and there), yet you've forgotten/never learned this??
this happened AFTER i spoke to the githyiankis and lied to them about the artifact though, when:
1)My other companions shouldn't even know Shadowheart had such an artifact
2)It was in her possession and she wasn't with us
3)Nothing ever happened with it, much less something suggesting it was protecting us
4)i had literally no reason to lie?
realistically they should have just went "oh you're looking for an artifact? damn that sucks. good luck." They literally lacked the information to react the way they did.
What part of this would lead my party to get anxious and lie about an artifact that isn't in their possession, they don't know the existance of (aside from my main character taking a quick look at it on the beach, MIND YOU, i didn't even examine it cause i chose to woke up Shadowheart), and has never served them any purpose?
Also from that cutscene at the bridge, it didn't actually look like the artifact was protecting me, if anything giving me visions or something.
The game lets you attack any npc in the game so this is also a moot point. The player can just murder Astarion as soon as you meet him. This is also an exceptionally rare circumstance in rpgs, especially with party members. So this also feels like nitpicking.
yeah, except the game and characters basically don't even acknowledge this properly, as seen from my attempt at killing shadowheart. So killing people outside of scripted dialogues just breaks immersion and feels cheesy. It's pretty much like they died in combat to a random goblin.
They're after the prism Shadowheart is holding. It's stated to be an artifact if you talk to Shadowheart and gain her trust. She says she stole it from the Githyanki.
Okay. thank you for the spoilers. Except the game should have told me, not some guy in an online forum. I did NOT gain shadowheart's trust. I did NOT learn any of what you said. So why is my character telling Shadowheart "you were sent to take this, it's your mission" ????
keyword *IF* you talk to Shadowheart. which i didnt. i literally dont know the point you're trying to make here pal.
The protagonist logically infers that Shadowheart was sent to take the artifact and that the Githyanki want it. The artifact causes the visions of the Absolute to go away. That is what the protagonist is referring to when they say it's "shielding" us. It's logical inference.
Maybe you missed the part that i never had any plot point related to the artifact at all. the only thing related to the artifact in my game, was me seeing it in the beach in shadowheart's hand.
Never had a dialogue about it.
Never had a "vision".
Never had a cutscene.
Please tell me what is there to infere? unless by inference you mean tarot reading.
Pretty much all you're telling me is "well it makes sense because had you done so and so, you would have find out this information." Okay but i didnt. so?
It's normal that the game just takes for granted that i did? Maybe it assumes i get spoiled half of act 1 on the larian forums?
