I still need to play this but all this coverage is sort of spoiling all the mystery

It really doesn't, though. There are so many options that affect the story in very different ways, so pretty much no playthrough will be the same.

Unless you've forcibly seen most of them and you can pick out what moments go where because x action, or you have this one singular shred of information that happens to be the integral piece to draw together an entire arc.

Earlier this week, I was listening to music on YouTube and saw a thumbnail that told me exactly what was up with the tadpoles. Not even the title. I don't remember what the title was. It was written on the thumbnail in giant glaring yellow letters.

If I am to play this game. I cannot have access to the internet in any conceivable way. I had thought this problem only extended to forums and news sights, places that were fairly obvious and thus easily avoided, but it's the entire internet when you least expect it.

I'm a third of the way into act 2 and the only teammates whose important plot moments and/or multiple endings I don't know are Wyll and Lae'zel, and that's only because nobody likes them enough to be talking about them.

I have tried to avoid this shit at every turn. It's still a great game. It's fantastic. It would have been in my top 3 if I could have played the damn thing on my own. I fucking love picking things to shreds more than anything else and there are so many pressing unknowns and conflicting motivations that I'd be having the time of my life. You don't understand. I could write a whole thesis on any one of them.

But I know the answers already. I'm kind of convinced the reason I've found myself so much more attached to side characters like Mol, Oliver, etc. over most of the main story npcs is because they weren't important enough for anyone to ruin them for me.

I wanna find everyone who posts shit like that and str–

Wish them a very good time

I usually avoid that by not getting too hyped up about a game before I play it. It saved my playthroughs of Cyberpunk and Starfield, although Panam's unwavering heterosexuality and my flatmate spoiling the end of Starfield kinda damaged my interest in both.

I avoid watching any videos about the hyped up new game, so youtube doesn't recommend me any videos about the hyped up new game

Nothing is spoiled by this headline, it's just a bug where your characters might not depolymorph after the last fight, and they'll appear as animals in the ending cutscenes
