This AA run is supposed to be a speedrun. I skipped most areas in acts 1 - 2 and used exp multiplier mod to keep my level up. But once I enter the Lower City, so many quests are important and unskippable that I feel too lazy to carry on. 🫠
@diwamari_@tiph_matai It's alright to miss LOTS of stuff in your first few playthroughs though. We all do. That's why one playthrough is never enough 😂
(Anyway, you haven't missed much if you at least saved Arabella. Her quest reward in act 2 is vital for this build.)
I don't even remember when the last time I fought the Sharrans in HoG normally was. I just send an assassin and call it a day.
(I know I said that I might not post any combat clips again, but one can argue that sending an assassin isn't 'combat' 🙈)
@tiph_matai - It's pure assasin with cri build.
- Feat savage att, sharp shoot, moderate armor, full dex. - Shadowblade, Dolor Amarus, The Dead Shot Bow
- Sarevok Helmet
- Deathstalker or Shade-Slayer cloak
- Craterflesh Glove
- THE RESONANCE STONE
- anything else is replacable
@renault_captain Playing an assassin can be a nice change of pace. I like to use them for minor encounters that I'm too lazy to fight, or minibosses like the Hag, Mystic Carrion, or Sarevok. It ends things very quickly lol.
You know what, ascending Astarion in origin run is a lot more depressing than Tav/Durge run because everyone else is so apathetic about it. AA gains powerful abilities without any negative consequences at all. It's just another ordinary day in Faerun.
Having this conversation after AA just sacrificed 7000 souls and Gale said he quite liked the new Astarion is sending me lol
Yeah sure, you have a sound moral judgment, and we usually agree on moral matters 😇
