I know this is far from a popular opinion, but Act 2 is my favorite of the game. The dark, almost claustrophobic setting almost forces characters to look inwards and ask who they really are. Astarion realizes for the first time that he's his own person, and more than competent fighters, he wants to surround himself with people who respect him. Karlach finds out that her engine will kill her, but that makes her even more determined to live her new found life while she can. Gale finally admits that he does want to live. It's your fault and he'd resent you for it if he weren't so grateful. And of course there's this scene with Shadowheart. And for all this darkness, you are awarded with the most powerful payoff in the game. Proof that you can bring real change to a world even when every odd is stacked against you. I mean, we all shared this moment. We know how powerful it was to see a light in the darkness we had been trudging through for 20+ hours.
My favorite moments in the game are ones like this. Spoiler warning Moments where the character sees the truth and chooses to abandon the only thing they knew their whole life to stay on the right path. ShadowHeart's and Le zael's moments of defiance against their "Gods" are definitely the most impactful scenes for me.
After wandering around in the shadows, witnessing evils, pain and suffering in act 1 and especially act 2, it was amazing to finally see divine good manifest and light it's way through all the misery and sorrow.
SO TRUE! Nightsong's unwavering championship of goodness and bravery is so refreshing to consume, as most stories that are portrayed in media nowadays are bleak and focus on how evil is never faced head on.
I genuinely can't get over this. There's so many VAs that have barely voiced more than side characters so far in their careers and have absolutely *killed* it in this game. Add onto that the theatre-esque writing and presentation and it's just a joy to experience. Colorfully written lines and grandiose personalities and immaculate voiced lines. Every character is such a joy to encounter.
I really like the part at 7:22 I haven't played the previous games, so I was not familiar with Jaheria before playing. But the way the framing of the shot and music come together really sell that kind of "An old hero has been reinvigorated" kind of feeling.
she's a half daughter of a greater deity, she's basically a demigod herself, in fact it's the entire reason she was imprisoned in the Shadowfell; she was immortal and Ketheric Thorm had a Necromancer that knew how to siphon that for him

I like how Shadowheart is immidiatelly offered more respect for her choice "little assasin" vs "Little warrior"
I can't remember the last time a video game got me legit emotional. I had crazy goosebumps during this whole scene.
Acting and music in this game does it for me. What a beautiful game! Scenes likes this give me shivers

That's just pure DND. You truly don't control your party members actions. Every character is their own. Thus why BG3 is amazing.
positive outcome ... i like that
SPOILERS FOR ACT 3 Shadowheart
She chooses to spare her parents as well if you see all the places that give her flashes of her memories back.
THIS is the best scene in the game
once wings get tired then retirement plan will be in lighthouse
Strange in my non-romance playthrough she actually ASKS me what I wanted to do but I told her she has to make this choice on her own
This game is worth every penny, THIS is how a game is mad3, it has brought me to tears
I really like the part at 7:22

Anyone know what is the song that plays when Dame Aylin flies away from shadowfell? I can't find it in the soundtrack
It isn't one of the released tracks, sadly. Such a cool moment
So dragonball universe confirm as part of forgotten realms, how else you can explain that nightsong is supersaint?
she's a half daughter of a greater deity, she's basically a demigod herself, in fact it's the entire reason she was imprisoned in the Shadowfell; she was immortal and Ketheric Thorm had a Necromancer that knew how to siphon that for him
This scene feels a bit weird when you don’t say anything to her the entire time.
What armor is Shadowheart wearing?
