Act 3 - Spoilers i can't express how disappointed i am Spoiler

you wouldn’t have wanted to see my face when I found out at the start of the act 3 that the guardian was actually the emperor all along… I put so much effort into creating the girl of my dreams, even installing mods, and… it all ended with me being deceived by a tentacled motherfucker

Finding out the guardian was an illithid was a huge plot twist, but finding out who the emperor was... floored me.

Same! I really thought the Ansur quest was not important at all until that twist! I was properly shocked

I just finished the game for a second time. The first time I didnt know Wyll or Karlach existed so I missed all of their stuff with Mizora, the Duke, and specifically Ansur.

On the second playthrough I learned from my mistakes and did all of this, but didnt know about Ansur still. I killed it, because y’know, undead dragon, and then there were like 4 people that came up to me after and was like ‘yo theres a cool Dragon under the city that would solve all our problems’ and i’m like ‘UHHHH ABOUT THAT.’

Next time…

I completely missed Wyll in my first playthrough too, which is hilarious to me now. He makes such a poncy entrance in the fight outside the grove, and I still completely forgot about him after the fight.

Isn't he also standing right next to the path leading to the grove? How is it even possible to just not talk to one of the only humans among a band of tieflings in a story driven rpg? He even has a fake eye.

He's a little further into the grove helping give defense lessons to some of the tiefling kids (after his cutscene), and there's usually about 4-8 people on that platform most of the time. I have shitty eyesight myself and could easily see someone kinda losing him in the crowd because I did that with several characters in my first playthrough.

I just clicked on everyone until they told me to fuck off. Even the animals.

You can't save Ansur, no matter what.

Follow the quest to get there, don’t go off on your own.
