For a game this size, VAs for major characters will have dozens of sessions. They aren’t the last thing done, since the characters need to be animated to fit the performance, but as mentioned this could be one of the final sessions. Would retakes also take place during this time, or do you think those are handled on the onset of the lines being spoken? I ask because we know they've been doing full playthroughs of the game, and I'm wondering if the voice acting being described here is them bringing someone back in to voice new lines for additional context, or to restate them because they don't accurately capture what the Writer/Director were going for. Retakes can take place either later during the session or during a different session, including being called in for one just to do the retakes. And wouldn’t necessarily say it’s because it wasn’t properly captured. That’s why they do multiple takes for most lines after all, either to have options or to get it just right. Could be any number of reasons, like how earlier one of the devs said some lines they wrote didn’t fit the scene they were written for but they found other places to put them. Or simply after recording the writer had a “Wait, I just had an idea for that line/scene that would be so much better!”

I think any time I'm not romancing Lae'zel I'll do this. It's a bit shit, but the alternatives are worse IMO. Unless I really embrace the tadpole, but I can't see that happening at the moment. I was surprised how... ... little impact the decision had on your crew. Whether I turned or Orpheus, no one other than Lae'zel had an opinion on it at all. Yeah, I agree, it feels a bit dodgy asking Orpheus, but he agrees readily enough. I didn't spend an entire game resisting it's use just to give in at the final lap. I was collecting all those tadpoles like Pokémon, but I can't say it ever really occurred to me to actually use them. I'm sure somewhere down the line I'll see where that storyline goes. If I recall correctly, if you have Gale with you and choose certain dialogue options neither actually turns into a mind flayer.

If they don’t show it at the event in June, it’s not coming out this year.

Can someone give me a valid RP reason for a good PC to leave Minthara alive? The above guide looks interesting, but I'm having trouble visualizing using it. I can think of a few: 1. Character avoids killing when possible 2. Sympathetic to True Souls due to knowing what has them doing this. 3. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. 4. Inspired by someone else, either Prism, your deity, patron, and so on. Etc She’s not the only evil companion we have, Astarion and Lae’zel also are when we start, so any justification for keeping them can apply to her as well.

Shadowheart is gorgeous, damn. Yes, yes she is. I suspect that every PT that I don't romance her I'll regret it. My current Lae'zel romance hasn't given me the same vibes as Shadowheart did. Judt play as Shadowheart while doing the other romances you want. There, no regrets since you can’t romance her if you are her.

Think I might have made Shadowheart’s romance a non-sexual one by accident (yay!). I’m definitely at the point where her swimming lesson should’ve triggered but it hasn’t despite spamming long rests. Still have the romance lines, but things like talking to the twins and she says she wants our first time to be just us.
Ironically I think what might have triggered it is the glitch where you can romance Karlach and Shadowheart.
Hope it stays this way for the rest of the game.

Was hoping the new ways to build and customize ships would be a part of it. Alas. Also hope in a future update they can make it where when a moon/planet eclipses a star while on the surface of a world it makes it dark. Yeah how nice would it be to be able to build a ship and determine the floorplan at least in terms of route to the cockpit and ladders. Yeah. Being able to choose where the doors and ladders go is my first hope for this update. Also hope maybe they’ll make it more like the settlements where we can use completely empty habs then decorate them with all the inside stuff.

BW does like November... How shocking that the month and year is most likely the same which had been speculated for at least one (if not more) year.
Speaking of the current trailer discussion i would add this. Please choose the right music for the trailer.
I really dispise this one. Too be fair i am never a fan of Manson anyway.
I had completely forgotten this trailer existed. Why did you curse us by bringing it back to our consciousness?

My lost play through I recruited her by knocking her out at the Selune temple after making her temporarily hostile and that had no bugs I noticed. This time I just finished the grove battle and party after hearing they added this option in Patch 6 and sped through to Moonrise to see if it worked. So haven’t recruited her in this one yet since I still have Underdark and Risen Road to do but what I saw she was there on trial and you can recruit her. Interesting. In the past you've expressed a preference for not having evil Companions in your party, when you can avoid them. What changed your mind, at least in this instance? Did you simply want to explore the content, or something else? Mainly the content. Also fit the RP for my character(Sword Dancer of Eilistraee). Plus playing games like the Fire Emblem series or BioWare games have trained my mind to recruit all companions even if I don’t plan to use them.

You can knock-her out during the grove battle and she gets back to Moonrise now? Awesome! I might do it with Kurasar, since the grove battle is fun to do, feels a lot more epic than assassinating everyone in the temple. Yep! They just added that with Patch 6. And yeah, while Assassin Creed-ing the sanctum is fun(which I still did most of before talking to Minthara and did the rest after she left lol), the Helms Deep Grove Battle is more fun and I love the added dialogue and story it gives everyone. Edit: Plus this way you can also save both all the Tieflings and Sazza in the same playthrough since she was with the goblins in Moonrise.

I love how you can now do the big grove battle and still be able to recruit Minthara if you knock her out instead of kill her. Adds a nice bit to the story with everyone, druid and tiefling, having extra dialogue without missing out on her later. I haven't recruited her I too like that we can without slaughtering the Grove. Have you had any problems recruiting her? I've read that it was buggy.

For Dark Urge, I’m debating between playing them as a Drow or a Tiefling? Is there anything that suggests one fits more than the other? I know you can be anything, but also know some classes and races don’t fit the story and want to be lore-accurate.

Truly shows that while min-maxing helps, it is really not needed and just play however you want if you’re smart enough.

For repeat playthroughs, my plan is to play as the origin characters. If I want to a Cleric, I play Shadowheart to get that unique story added to it. If I want Warlock, I play Wyll so I can interact with my patron. And so on.

My save file is completely gone! Over 55 hours just deleted itself! Fuck! How did that happen? Are there any cloud saves? I don’t know. I waited until it was done saving so it shouldn’t have been the firmware issue. And it did have a Cloud save but it’s gone too. Xbox

Speaking of my new character is a Drow Dark Urge named Iraeffyn(Drow for Mystical Minstrel). Class-wise I’m going for a sword dancer of Eilistraee build so going to be Sword Bard(and maybe Oath of Ancients Paladin) with dips into Light Cleric and Wizard(mainly to learn spells they use I can’t get in the game like Magic Missile).
Already got through the one uncontrollable one but was at least able to spare Alfira by beating her up then giving her gifts the next day.
Lore wise I feel like they started as a Bard with Eilistraee wanting to help so becoming Cleric after the ship crash. Picked up Wizard not for lore reasons but spell scroll scribing. If I do Paladin it might be after the truth is revealed or now with them swearing never to let their darkness overtake their light.

50 hours into my playthrough but I think I might have to start over. Even respecting, my play through just struggles too much. But at least for next plsythrough I’ll know a lot more to make it more fun. Yeah that's the thing withthis game yo udo need t orestar ta lo tto ge ta fee lfor it. I tis a fun game though. I definitel ypla nt ocome bac kt oit later myself bi tbus ywith other hting sright now. Yeah I definitely don’t mind restarting. I’m glad I did as already I’ve noticed my characters are playing better.
