    Selune must love Shadowheart a lot. She's the one who's been empowering her from the start, even though Shadowheart never completed her coming of age trial, even though she called Selune a Moon Bitch after being brain washed by Sharrans, she still guided her. Shar exiled her, and yet Shadowheart's powers did not disappear, and she often could not hear Shar even while being her devoted follower. Now that Shadowheart has freed her daughter after Selune couldn't find her for centuries - I'm pretty sure Shadowheart is her favorite cleric!

    • @thomasjoychild4962
      @thomasjoychild4962 11 месяцев назад +10

      I interpreted it as Selune taking over as soon as Shadowheart rejected Shar. The Sharrans wouldn't have tolerated her being empowered by Selune while they were raising her, and the phrasing of the narration is "...admitting who empowers her NOW..." Shar's power would likely have hidden Shadowheart since she was kidnapped, like it was hiding Aylin from her mother.
      As for Shadowheart not always hearing Shar... I suspect Shar doesn't take calls, she calls you if she's got a command to give but leaves the divine phone on silent otherwise. :P

      ​@@thomasjoychild4962 It's stated in a later cutscene that the sister gods have equal claim to each others things. Thus, what belongs to Shar also technically belongs to Selune, and vice versa. What Shar discards, Selune can pick up. So, pretty sure you're right there. Shar was the one empowering Shadowheart, until the moment Shadowheart chose to save Aylin. Then, Shar removed her power, and Selune immediately stepped in with hers instead.

    Love this playthrough! Regarding your question about illithid souls in dnd, mind flayers are from a different plane, and whatever might resemble a soul where they come from is incompatible in Faerûn. So someone turning into a mindflayer does destroy their soul. Gods in dnd gain power from their worshippers souls, hence the reason Withers is puzzled the Dead Three are using this plan, and why the other gods are more worried (where they generally don't directly interfere for many reasons)

    If you actually let Gale detonate his orb during the Ketheric fight you'll get one of the "endings" of the game with the narrator explaining what essentially happens after that. It's not a happy ending per se, nor really an ending at all but I really like how it shows that even Gods can be mistaken when it comes to giving orders sometimes. You should check it out :)

    Just before second Ketheric fight, before you enter the elevator, there is an Illithid Device which gives your party free long rest. Similar device that was inside the Nautiloid ship. So you can enter The big battle with full rest. I can only imagine how incredibly difficult that fight was without long rest... No wonder you were frustrated about it...

    • @CuriouslyKay
      @CuriouslyKay  Год назад +5

      Well shit I most certainly did not find that. I had these potions that give the effect of long rests, but it was a struggle with the spell slots

    • @KenlieroGames
      @KenlieroGames Год назад +3

      @@CuriouslyKay Here's extra tip for the next run: When you use that device, then buff all your characters with all possible spells(Like max level upcasted AID, to get max extra hp, etc.), then take it again, and you are already buffed and you STILL get all spell slots back, at the same time with the buffs, because it doesn't remove buffs. Aid is interesting spell. It looks mediocre, giving just 5hp... but when you upcast it in max level, it gives +25hp.... and when it does it to everyone, you have spell that gives extra +100hp to your party before the battle even starts, because it lasts until long rest :)

    And now I'm all caugt up on your videos! Can't wait to see the rest of your journey as you take it!
    Your fun d&d fact for the day: Mindflayers reproduce by injecting tapoles into people. AFAIK there's no original mindflayers without that process. However if you kill an elder brain (the thing that rules over their colonies) and all of the attendants, leaving the pool of tadpoles alone, they will start eating each other until only the strongest one is left. That thing will eventually evolve into a gigantic, powerful, but not very intelligent worm. Google "Neothelid" Stuff of nightmares, right there. Even other mindlfayers hate them!

    @nitochondriac2619 Год назад +2

    So, the orb embedded in Gale's chest? That's Karsus's doing (to an extent).
    A bit of loredrop: basically Karsus was an archmage of the late Netheril empire, and he attempted to take over Mystryl as a deity of magic. However Mystryl was the one being that was holding the Weave intact; when divinity was wrestled from her, so did she lose control over the Weave. The destruction that magic would have done would be devastating, and to save the Weave, Mystryl sacrificed herself and was later reborn as Mystra. As all magic briefly lost their function with her death, so did the Netheril empire come to its end when its floating cities - held up by magic - came crushing down. That's how I interpret it anyway, I could be wrong.
    Both the orb and the crown are remnants of that incident, though I think they are original to the game since I don't recall them being mentioned elsewhere. Not sure if you heard it from Gale before, but he believes the orb to contain a piece of Weave torn from the whole back then. More will be revealed later in the game, but just the mention of Karsus itself would suggest the crown to be a powerful artifact.

    • @CuriouslyKay

      I think he did explain that, but it has been a while since then, so I appreciate the info!

      ​@@CuriouslyKay Since no persuation check was required for Gale to try for another way, I *think* he still wants to live. Probably.
      I'm kind of saddened that the game paints Mystra in a somewhat negative light though. Her boundaries are only there to prevent another catastrophe like Karsus's Folly from ever occuring, so she actually had reason to hold Gale back from his ambitions. Without that info she would seem unnecessarily cruel instead.

  • @thomasjoychild4962
    @thomasjoychild4962 11 месяцев назад

    I agree, I got the impression that Ketheric primarily loves Isobel as an extension of himself rather than a person in her own right.
    Aylin seems like she was rolling terribly in that fight, on the upside it looks like she was a good distraction for enemies? :P and being unkillable is a handy trait in a meat shield.
    The Absolute symbol is the Dead Three's symbols combined, Myrkul's is the triangle thing, Bane's is the black/bloodied handprint, and Bhaal's is the skull surrounded by blood droplets. A lot of followers have necklaces of it.
    Illithids and souls... I think they probably do have an equivalent thing to a soul, but as Withers says it's not compatible with the gods... energy type? So they can't benefit from the devotion of Illithids. I don't think it's necessarily the altered soul of the host, which I imagine is actually released to go onward rather than destroyed. Could be wrong about that.
    Selune is, among other stuff, a goddess of good lycanthropes, and there's a particular type of elven werewolf that can change whenever they like. I think that's what Shadowheart's dad is. He was watching her wilderness survival rite from a distance in case she got into trouble, I think. The sharrans removed the context of the memory though, so Shadowheart thought the wolf was about to attack her rather than the sharran priestess behind her.

The other two chosen are great but the confrontations with them don't have as much breathing room. Yeah, from other stuff that was said and written, I think his main objection to Aylin wasn't really about the immortality, so much as her being someone important in Isobel's life that wasn't him.
