I think it is a good thing overall, but then there are a few instances where they can still be killed by other characters.

Sceleritas feels so bad about this that he runs off and buries himself in the garden as punishment.
Dark Urge is confused, not realizing what Scel. even felt so bad about in the first place.

How am I supposed to explain something like that to Bhaal *sigh*... I'm more morally flexible, but I never kill Scratch and the owlbear cub. I also hate killing Bex & Danis. I would have to test whether I can knock them out in Act 2 and then put them in the inventory to put them in a safe place ... something like that. Trying to save all the Tieflings before I kill

...sounds like a challenge.

Because I know his voice and how he speaks and what he says, I can put myself in his shoes.

I always imagine that I have to write text as if tiny Sceleritas would say it. As an unworthy but absolutely loyal and unprincipled servant, he doesn't want to upset his beloved and revered master, even if he gives him bad news. He feels honored to die by his hand and do any menial work for his master.

For me it also works with Astarion by adding as many actually unimportant details as possible. hahaha

Yes, I agree. I don't like that I have to feel guilt (or that I get told that I should feel guilt) for finally freeing Astarion from the torment of that eternal hunger, and allowing him to live again. Because I hate the thought of making him live an eternity as numb and suffering from the hunger. The things he did while under Cazador's control were not his own sins and I wouldn't want to see him punished for what he had no power over. Alongside all of that, the romance with AA feels more substantial to me and more complete than UA -- that was my experience.

That's the only crucial point, we should all have fun playing the game. Who wants to judge what is wrong or right about my playing style or from which perspective or motivation I prefer certain things.

The game allows many different perspectives on certain situations.

I haven't heard that before, I'll have to trigger it lol


Btw trigger ...Was anyone able to trigger this scene with Astarion after patch 6? If so, under what conditions? I've tried different ways but this choice just doesn't come up. If it has disappeared or been bugged, it should definitely find its way back into the game.
