About the beautiful woman on the beach: in early access, before Wylls story got a rewrite, Mizora used to be among the crash survivors, getting captured by Minthara - and it was Wylls mission to free her. Makes sense that a Succubus charmed the fisher.

I loved Wyll's voice and personality in EA. Shame that they rewrote his story. Now he suffers from lack of content comparing to other characters. Overall i liked the vibe of EA a lot more. Our companions were a lot less nicer. At least in my opinion. I remember Astarion being more of a prick. Same with Lae'zel and Shart didn't really approve my ''good choices''. Wyll was up his own ass too and it was really interesting to me to have 90% of the companions that are more ''evil/neutral''. You usually get only one or two like that.

[@thatweirdgirl8466]

@@sheogorath1374They changed Wyll’s story because they said he was “boring” and “basic” but I feel like all that did was nearly cut him out completely. Like he barely gets any romance scenes until the last chapter, he doesn’t get the opportunity to actually challenge his father on being a dickhead to him, and you don’t really get a good “climatic” game changing choices. Just “sign contract again teehee?” Both his and Karlach’s stories seemed half finished which sucks but at least the patches gave us a hopeful ending for Karlach.

[@TheZerok666]

In the Early Access, there were fishermen near the injured mind flayer at the crash site, trying to dig him up from the rubble. Their dialogue mentioned them each thinking there was a family member of theirs stuck under there or someone else they'd want to save, and there was I think a persuasion check to help them realize they're being influenced by a mind flayer. So yes, I think this "beautiful woman" is probably that - a mind flayer.

I talked to every corpse who would talk after getting the amulet and wondered about the woman myself. A Siren? Turned out there are none. Could it have been Minthara who after seeing the crash came there to gain new recruits? She is attractive and can influence people's minds, like she tried with me. Brynna looking for survivors? But Brynna isn't beautiful... Another question is: who was in the empty Mind Flayer Pod you find in the Forest? You forgot to add Dark Urge to the Hopscotch Game memories. It's very different from Tav: "Did I play games like this in my youth? Was I sweet once?"

[@RazielTheUnborn]

The pod in the forest is Karlach's. When you click on it, you'll remark it smells of sulfur. That early on, Wyll doesn't smell like sulfur. Mizora wasn't trapped on the ship. Because of how long she has been in Avernus and due to her Infernal Engine, Karlach does smell like sulfur.

[@annenym2222]

@@RazielTheUnborn I definitely clicked on it. How could I fail to notice the sulfur part? Karlach can be found not that far away, too. Thank you so much. Now I wonder what would have happened if I had clicked on it with Karlach... Edit: I just checked (I am keeping recordings for myself so that I can keep track of things). I clicked on it, but only had the Narrator say that the occupant is nowhere to be seen. My character didn't remark anything. Neither did any of my companions (Karlach, Shadowheart and Wyll).

I finished up exploring the area (as in, did the owlbear cave--persuaded my way free and did not kill or attack her) and when I went back to the goblin camp later, the owlbear cub was now there. In subsequent playthroughs, I have always gone to owlbear cave prior to the goblin camp and have never seen the chicken since.

I think you might have gotten a different reaction to ethel being reveled in the grove if you'd brought her to the druid instead of the tieflings. since the only one in the area that helped you fight her was a druid i assume its because the tieflings are civilians mostly

[@FacetiousEnigma]

The woman could be Auntie Ethel, but transformed to look beautiful. It's said that others followed her, those could be the masked thralls in her command. If mind flayers could get a hold of Mizora, they could get a hag. How Ethel could set up shop in her cave that quickly after the crash beats me.

The Volo's surgery also can not be performed if you had your eye messed with by Ethel. Ethel's "operation" on your eye does give you a tolerable debuff for the rest of the game but it is also the only way to make your one character's eye look blind if that's what you want (I did for my character specifically for the visual effect). Also if you don't like the way Volo's eye looks but still want the buff, you can find a mod on nexus that hides that visual effect.
