This is a lovely initiative- I often see so much bad faith criticism and ruthless nitpicking of this game it feels like I'm playing something else entirely. Thank you.
Also, I might have talked to you on Discord or something lol :P I remember someone else telling me playing as Astarion and having Gale talk you through the ritual was great. Do you know if other companions are also really good there? I still have to do my Astarion Origin run.
Also agree about the persuasion check being removed. It felt scummy to have a persuasion check in that context and not have it be acknowledged by the game.
