    I’m 80 hours in and just got to where a familiar face shows up in act 2.

    A lot of people on the subreddit are complaining about Minthara basically having no dialogue during long rests and those are the top two hypotheses as to why.

    I think there’s less long rest dialogue if you long rest a lot in act 1 since there’s a finite amount of it to spread around (basically the camp dialogue equivalent of rushing through as a byproduct of using that mechanic as the “flow regulator”).

    I’ve also heard Halsin isn’t as fleshed out (figuratively only ofc) outside the romance since he was added as a companion late in early access due to fan horniness lathing it into existence. This follows, havnt heard a peep from him since the camp party.

      spoiler

      He has a short quest chain in act 2 and some dialogue about the events that caused the shadow curse. I can’t recall if he does anything in act 3.

      i think there is definitely some issue with Timing. i’ve read that earlier dev posts (from Act 1 EA era) that said things like romances would be complicated/take time to get to. meanwhile Gale wants to get down immediately after a day or two (not hating just kinda wild how practicing magic went sweat ). maybe bareback fucking isn’t “romance” or maybe it is? if i compare it to idk like mass effect, those relationships took a lot of time to get anywhere near awooga territory (and those games didn’t have a penis slider).

      edit: tho the game in general is just super horny so idk

        yeah, I think Karlach might be the only one thats true for, but I’m not running a full party.

        Gale

        the magic lesson, that’s one smooth wizard. Given who he learned from though, it follows.

        I would not be shocked-pikachu to find out most of the freeze-gamers mad about the inclusivity of it were caught of guard by the magic lesson dialogue and got angry about the option being there.

        mass effect

        I liked those games, but so many RPGs treat sex as the reward for completing a companion questline. It is a nice change of pace and there is some variety in speeds (every speedrun is going to be the same character). The variety is nice, but the horniness overton window might benefit from our volcel police opening a Belgian office.
