Lol, the party budget went to everyone else except Gale

[@uhobme2028]

Imagine showing this to Throne Of Bhaal players 22 years ago

[@babythor9473]

As someone who played the original Baldur's Gate as a kid in '98 or '99 (can't really remember), I felt massive goosebumps when I saw that Sarevok's still alive and kickin' (same goes for Jaheira and Minsc). Btw, my original character actually got his alignment to switch to Chaotic Good, so I expected that he'd be able to change in BG3 as well, but had to kill him in this instance of the game as well. PS: BG1 Sarevok fight was 20x more challenging than this one, but he's not the "final boss" here after all.

[@jaykay1848]

im not playing bg3 but it looks great, for me bg ended with throne of bhaal, i smashed crom faeyr into amellysans face, sarevok became chaotic good after making the 7ft ogre strength guy realise what an idiot he was.

[@ValkoinenShiro]

I'm not sure I would like it, as I don't right now. There's very little reason for him to be there aside from a low-grade throwback and it doesn't even make sense story-wise. Still, the games and its graphics are amazing.

[@uhobme2028]

@@ValkoinenShiro Yeah, once the high of seeing them next gen wears, you quickly come to question the sense in their story inclusion. Nice moment still.

[@happymate8943]

From what I can gather there multiple endings you can choose in previous games and expansions. They seem to choose this route for this game.

[@Crim_Zen]

I'm sort of glad they at least attempted to address how Sarevok was restored in ToB. It's a shame he turned evil again, since in my playthrough I was able to get his alignment to change in my playthrough. He was no longer worthy of leading and lost his status as a bhaalspawn, so he was pretty much starting over at the end of ToB. They could have made him anything, since the canon ward was good...

[@davfree9732]

Ditto. I altered the alignments of Viconia too, but now she’s evil again.

[@somestrangecircus5505]

Wizards of the Coast apparently set the rules and backstories for the returning canon characters like Sarevok and Viconia; those parts weren't up to Larian.

[@kompatybilijny9348]

I mean, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 had canon endings and canon versions of events. Even the MC has a canon name, alignment and class.

[@ellohimeadam3852]

A lot more of this is explained if you actually get anointed as the Unholy. I got a 1.6% achievement for doing this so probably ppl miss it, but he goes into why he went back to Bhaal and what he’s been doing this whole time.

Would of been amazing if they got his original VA Kevin Richardson to reprise his role. But he mostly does kid shows now😭.

[@Adanu191]

I would love to know if they asked him.

[@Zaxares]

@@Adanu191 Same. I was pretty disappointed that Jim Cummings and Heidi Shannon didn't return to voice Minsc and Jaheira, although apparently Jim had scheduling conflicts and Heidi seems to have vanished off the face of the Earth, no one's been able to get in touch with her. (Jim Cummings came back for Siege of Dragonspear, but not Heidi.) Not a slight on the new VAs. They've mostly done a great job (the new Jaheira VA in particular I feels nails her accent and attitude very well), but the new Sarevok VA seems to lack Kevin Richardson's undertone of barely concealed rage and menace for his original performance.

Wait a second I was under the impression that Sarevok kinda rejected Bhaal, or at the very least, found peace at the end of Throne of Bhaal?

[@zerogrey3798]

Far to many videos has convinced me that Larian just fuck it with the already established lore of BG 1 and 2. They threw in some of the old characters basically as clickbait,,, for lack of a better explanation.

[@toprak3479]

Most of the returning characters completely break canon

[@ValkoinenShiro]

Pretty much, and as others have said, the returning characters are mostly "bait". Jaheira doesn't feel too bad and I guess you can excuse Minsc, but everything else doesn't feel great.

[@Agul1981]

I associate Redd Pepper's voice with radio ads, not exactly Sarevok material. Jaheira completely punks him.

[@fistan5447]

I mean they literally brought the whole cast huh, a couple of them i understand but it seems even the villains are back. Sigh, Larian did not need to do any of this, they already created compelling enough NPCs. This problem plagues D&D unfortunately, once they create something good they cannot let it go until all feelings of nostalgia gets squeezed out. Like Drizzt and his companions.

[@happymate8943]

He's not the main villain he's helping the player to fulfill their prophecy. he presented his divine sibling with a deal: If they gave up a part of their divine soul so that he may live again, he would offer information vital to resolving the Bhaalspawn crisis. In truth, Sarevok wished to travel alongside his brother. Despite his death he felt he still had some role to play in the fulfillment of Alaundo's prophecy.[4] His sibling appears to have accepted the deal, as Sarevok appeared again in Baldur's Gate more than a century later, during the Absolute crisis, as the head of the Murder Tribunal in the Temple of Bhaal. The cult of Bhaal in Baldur's Gate was by this point led by his granddaughter Orin the Red, the Chosen of Bhaal.

[@kevind3974]

Also as aidon most likely was the one who was forcefully turned into the new Baal once there was only one baalspawn left. saravak was forced into service again as he has half of aidon soul. Aka they won a monkey paws game. There was never an actual choice as Baal would always return and drag his spawn with him.

A lot of people whining that Sarevok found redemption in ToB when you had more than one choice of how to handle him. It's a roleplaying game with multiple routes through it: of course it's not going to be exactly how you expect it.

[@Crim_Zen]

Yes, but it feels like the canon ward they chose was the best of the best good character. Some of the characters still being evil, Viconia and Sarevok , seems off. They should have been redeemed due to the established canon character they used. Note you can spare Viconia in bg3 by knocking her out and talking to her. She spills everything and you can chose to finish her or leave her so she can find redemption, again. Shame you can't do that with Sarevok.

[@kevind3974]

No those two probably were redeemed but things happened that ruined them. Saravak soul is tied to aioden who became baal, thus like aioden he was forced into serving While Veronica it was a bad god who whispers sweet nothings, a bad life, living to long that she outlived almost everyone and aidon going murder god that probably broke her. A century is a long time and those two had shit luck from the start. Plus they only really Jaheira around. They were doomed. No halp and no choice made all that progress go right down the drain Life ant kind especially to these two

[@chrishendry1031]

I had enjoyed Bg3 quite a bit up to this point, but what a garbage way to deal with Sarevok. The voice is WAY off, he's kind of just thrown in there as an "Oh by the way" when his presence in the city would be monumental, and they didn't even remake his battle theme for it. What an absolute letdown in every way, goddamn. I don't want to go down the rabbit hole of ToB endings too bad, but everything here feels like a cheap fucking knockoff.

How does he react if he meets the Dark Urge who rejected Baal?

[@Jujstmeh]

You won't have fully rejected bhaal, yet. He will say though that you have been tainted and must regain your purity in order to truly be bhaal's chosen. Depending on the specific decision tree, he will eventually say he wants to see Orin dead, as you were magnificent, pure and perfect in the art of murder (and the only true chosen).

[@Crim_Zen]

He gets pissed, but you can lie to him about being evil and then he accepts you as his master. He even wants you to kill Orin, since she stole your position and isn't deserving of the "chosen" status. Note, when he accuses you of forgetting bhaal's lessons you can intimidate him and make him beg you for mercy.

[@kevind3974]

“Still tied to daddy’s apron strings” He Hera you should know he doesn’t have a choice. With him alive it means one thing is for sure canon. Aidon shared his soul. Meaning Saravak had his redemption arc as they tied their fate. So why is he evil? Jaheira you’re hiding from the truth again girl. You were there the day his fate was sealed. The day aidon became baal forcefully and rampaged thru the city. They share the same soul meaning he was dragged right back into service as well with no choice of his own

[@Soulsharkyy]

Hilarious because a lot of people don't like BG 1+2 because of the extremely janky real time combat.
