I still can't decide what I want to play... I would really like a "Poison Ivy" build for my Durgie, everything she touches will wither. A little poison and acid, a few plant vines here and there... a hint of necromancy. I really liked it... but what skills do I have... I think Warlock and Spore Druid are a good basis... I've to tested how to play and make a build for HM. smile
Oh absolutely - am so positively overdosed on 'Happy'! evil

Never fully romanced an Origin companion until now, so experiencing a developed relationship for the first time ever is 'a little novel' and now 'I can't help but wonder how others taste'... Oh well, guess we'll never know - such thoughts are unbecoming of a Dark Consort, her stilled heart eternally belongs only to her Dark Prince now. Aeterna amantes.

The undeserving puny wretches lacking conviction shall instead be forced to eternally serve us instead, especially Wyll who called her Dark Prince a degenerate for bestowing the gift of eternal life upon her. After all the palace always requires maintenance... and amusements devil

Seriously love how complex, engaging and thought-provoking the relationship is and the roleplay it enables; so wonderfully unique. I love that I can become a side-character as it took me a bit to ease into his newly-discovered overwhelming bravado and the new dynamic, it's perfect and exactly what I wanted. For Bhaal's messed-up wreck of a daughter only a being of exceptional power could eternally claim her as a Dark Consort to rip her from her Father's clutches and the infernal pact she's chained to, he can fix her.

Only thing am sad about this 'bloody pleasure' of a playthrough is the ending; really want to go for Sceleritas Fel since every palace needs a Butler and he'd do exceptionally well at the task, but unfortunately we all know how that ends. The other option would've been to let Astarion take over the Absolute so his Dark Consort simply rules by his side instead, but that's not possible either. Hm... I might repurpose the Emperor's ending and replace him with Astarion because trying to properly roleplay these Bhaals-to-the-walls evil endings is literally the Bane of my existence - maybe by some Myrkul we may still get a proper one for Dark Urge! frown


Also if it helps with any ideas; I had a self-looping poisoner Astarion in ACT II with x2 [Thorn Blade] applying the debuff from [Poisoner's Gloves] which then trigger [Derivation Cloak] to apply [Broodmother's Revenge] on his blades for even more poison damage, so it's a lot of poison damage with self-healing. Alternatively [Ichorous Gloves] for mass-AOE spreading of stench through Acid. Maybe it helps since Druid is the only class I never played so got no clue about anything spore related, but Warlock is super fun and Oathbreaker is exceptionally awesome if you're into an unholy Death Knight dominating the Undead (bring undead Kar'niss to Moonrise and watch him one-shot everyone) grin
