She's the "I can fix her" meme except you actually can and it's amazing. permalink fedilink source parent [–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 11 points 1 year ago (2 children) Innate spell resistance is hot. Still mad about spoilerHer appearance in bg3. I fixed her! She wasn't evil anymore in my game! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 9 points 1 year ago Yeah I was pretty upset about Larian for that one. One of the best and most nuanced characters in BG2 reduced to a brainless cartoon caricature. Same goes for spoilerSarevok, whose entire Throne of Bhaal arc is ignored along with his character. Honestly I hated the whole murder tribunal. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago spoilerI'm still mad she freaking dies in the epilogue of BG2 if you romanced and redeemed her. Who thought that was a good idea for the ending to a hundred-hour character redemption arc? And how the hell does an epic-level cleric die to poison? permalink fedilink source parent [–] xcutie@linux.community 3 points 1 year ago Viconia! Definitely my archetype. Strong and evil, but somehow vulnerable as well. permalink fedilink source parent
