I used to always try for the best outcome but with this have it seems like half of the time a failure also leads to an amazing consequence and story.

Like this from act one in the Underdark:

spoiler

I had to find a hidden gnome that could supply me with gunpowder, but she was so much on edge that she lit up the barrel of gunpowder and blew up the whole room, leaving half of my party dead. A suicide gnome bomber. I couldn’t convince her that I was not an enemy. Reloaded just to see if I could successfully do it, but much preferred the first outcome of the dice roll, so had to reload and try 6 times until I failed again. What a game!

    Oh you missed out, wyll has been permanently in camp since I met Karlach. She’s an anchor of the team in my book as a super tanking barb also doing 40ish damage around with a maul I gave her

      I will 100% be saving her next go around. Everyone keeps saying how fun she is to have around.

      I completely neglected Astarion, found him initially annoying, plus the cheeky fuck

      literally tried to drink my blood while I was sleeping

      ! Also haven’t used Will at all, nor Halsin, nor any of the many other characters that can be recruited. Actually looking forward to replaying with a completely different team.

        I’m not big on replaying games, but I’m missing out on so much content by murdering everyone, that I’m looking forward to playing again as a good guy. To be clear, there’s no shortage of content for murderhobos. The game is just fabulously dense.

          She’s the biggest kid. It’s adorable.

          Never thought it possible that a game choice would make me feel guilty, but here we are haha.
