I would have been interested in seeing it but my save was completely hardlocked out of it. In contrast to basically every other character she never ever came on to me (middle of Act 3 currently).
I must have done something in the wrong order, I've heard others have had trouble with it as well.
Yeah, I was at the beginning of Act 3 when I realised that I had irrevocably missed out on it. I had to start a new game from scratch and follow a guide, but it was absolutely worth it!
The romances could do with a bit of an overhaul, in my opinion. Feels like several of them have weird pacing, and so many characters go from 0-100 in the blink of an eye. You say a single affirmation to Halsin and he acts like he's been in love with you his whole life and you're soulmates. Dude, I just offered you a drink at a celebration out of common courtesy.
With every other NPC being so horny it's actually been refreshing to have Karlach just behave like a buddy in my playthrough, but in general for the Karlach romance to be so fiddly you need to follow a guide to not lock yourself out of it just sounds... poorly implemented.
Yeah it's fiddly for sure, but the payoff is more than worth the bother IMO 🤷
My first playthrough was the same thing, but I think it's because I picked her up so late in Act 1. I have no actual data but I think that if you don't have a certain level of approval with her when you
you miss out on romancing her for the rest of the game. For my playthrough, I basically picked her up, and started progressing through her quest immediately, and already that the item needed to finish her act 1 storyline; I think that's what locked me out. Again, I'm just speculating, though.spoiler about Karlach's side quest
have her heart tuned the first time
I have a similar lockout problem.
During a camp scene both Gale and Karlach (and Shadowheart) offered to spend the evening with me.
I spoke with Gale first (at random) and his spend the evening was just "show some magic" which I didn't realize was code. Karlach made no mention of Gale but did a fist pump when I agreed. When I finally spoke with Shadowheart she mentioned that I already had plans (unless?).
Then the Gale romance scene happened and Karlach never brought it up again. Nearly everyone else in the camp gave me a romance option and Karlach and I had a nice moment after fixing her heart the second time, but I think it's just broken.
Additionally Shadowheart has always had the romance option since it first appeared. I skipped it since we're just homies, but I think Karlach is locked out for me.
if that nice moment with her was both seated talking, then that's the first scene. One thing you can do with followers once their approval is high enough, is to go back to act 1 and spam partial long rests to trigger the remaining act 1 scenes. Then go to act 2 and do the same to see if new ones pop up.
That would explain it, though not make it any less poorly designed. I also picked her up just at the very end of Act 1 and already had plenty of the item needed.
Karlach's probably my favorite character so far in the game... Not only in personality and... Assets. But she has also carried my ass through every combat encounter I've had her in so far... Too bad (SPOILERS for a thing in act1)
!When I killed kagha, the other druids killed dammon, so idk how to progress her storyline now!<
DEFINITELY my favourite too!
And yeah,
spoiler
I'm pretty sure you can't progress her quest without Dammon, so you'll have to load an earlier save (if you have one) and do your best to protect him or talk down Kagha so there's one less shadow druid to fight
I do have a save... 6 hours ago
Man, if only there was a scroll that can revive people, wouldn't that be a craaazy idea
There is, but you have to convince people to follow you around like lost puppies before you get to decide whether they live or die. D&D logic 😂
I don't really know D&D rules... As I've never played D&D before, but it did feel kinda strange to be holding a scroll that can revive people an be to not be able to use it... To revive people
Yeah, it's very close to completely arbitrary, I agree..
Btw, do you happen too know what the fck I need to do to help Gale? Like, he vaguely mentions what happened to him and this Mythra and their whole backstory together, but I have no clue where I need to go...
You mean how to
::: spoiler Complete the main quest without blowing him up? :::
If so, I dunno. Haven't gotten that far yet. Until then, he'll ask you for exactly what he needs once he has a high enough opinion of you, which SHOULD be pretty early 🤷
Did you find Elminster in the mountain pass during act 1?
No, I decided to go through the underground before I go through the pass (I haven't gone through the mountain pass yet)
It's not DnD logic, you can revivify a mosnter if you want to, although it only works if they died a minute ago max, and you can use another spell to make that last longer. Also, revivify costs diamond dust. It's BG3 logic.
