Rejecting Companions From Joining The Team - Baldur's Gate 3

[@lucasabreu7741]

Something we have to admit: Shadowheart is scarily persistent

[@giagarex]

Devs made it intentional because of the artifact

[@coops1992]

Cause of Nightsong and the artifact

[@karlwittenburg5868]

I mean she does kind of have to be for story reasons

[@stevengarretto3030]

She should clear off.

[@hashimpervase3950]

@@stevengarretto3030if she “cleared off”, you would transform into an illithid. It’s Shadowheart’s artifact that keeps you from changing.

[@cas4047]

I love Karlach's response. She could befriend almost anyone

[@Momofan69]

She's so charismatic.

[@Lunakitty1234]

She’s such a sweetheart. Only lady companion I actually like, the rest of them is a bit too unfriendly for my liking. I like Alfira too…but she doesn’t last long 😢

[@embioz1]

​@@Lunakitty1234I agree, Alfira would have been the perfect bard companion since if you don't play a bard there is no one who can play an instrument in your party.

[@Lunakitty1234]

@@embioz1 you meet Alfira first just outside the grove. You should be allowed to befriend and recruit her there and as you get closer , if the relationship is strong enough, you should be given the chance to save her when that scene comes. Everyone else is given that chance, she deserves it too.

[@embioz1]

@@Lunakitty1234 I never heard before that you can recruit her or improve your relationship with her. Where did you hear this? And what do you mean "save her"? She's safe and attends the party at the camp after you deal with the goblins.

[@jherinstamps6874]

Karlach: I was hoping for a little company, especially some who looked like you 😏 Tav: 😊 That killed me 😂

[@mintkit1064]

"Oh boy, an asshole." Never change Karlach❤

[@gaffgarion7049]

The fact that your character looks like an elf version of, " your dog just died" meme makes this funnier.

[@uncomfortablekid8872]

STOP IT DOES

[@zotz3039]

Went to see the video of Kevin AND HE REALLY DO

[@MiyaMam948]

BRO TRUE WHAT 😂

[@rhipeinik9375]

Hahaha

[@snowpoler]

"Kevin, you have a mindflayer parasite in your head" Kevin:

[@kitk3499]

I know its important to the story and thats why Shadowheart keeps coming back, but the fact that she's so adamant about helping Tav is very sweet I love her so much 😭😭

[@SuperKratosgamer]

@smol_pupper123 She denies at first, and then you meet her at the druid grove she talks about how are you following her, and then ask to team up.

[@mr_jyggalag]

She is sweet and needs to be protected at all costs. Well, any companion is, but she is my favorite.

[@uncomfortablechair2466]

I weep for you mentally damaged animals of you think shadowheart telling you that "you need her" to live is considered sweet. Shadowheart would sooner step on a baby in her way than walk around it

[@kitk3499]

@uncomfortablechair2466 baby do you need a juice box? Maybe some apple slices? Maybe a nap? It's a fictional character, no need to be so serious about it 😂

[@Zcee]

@@uncomfortablechair2466You are unreasonably upset at such a mundane comment lol. Even so your statement isnt even true considering one of the ways you get shadowheart to like you is to help out kids and pets

[@KratosisGod]

I always have a hard time picking negative options in rpgs hence I watch videos like this to sate my curiosity 😁

[@darwinfox5783]

It totally feels like when in dnd the DM tries their best to guide the players on the plot path, and they do LITERALLY everything to avoid it

[@marcthomas5949]

The transition from karlach to wyll was just so funny to me Like something outta archer

[@guifire9747]

When your social anxiety is so strong you want to be alone even in a game

[@ilyabykov2437]

I've just noticed that they track all eye movements too in mocap, insane.

[@mizzysquishii5652]

It’s the fact that you’re the reason Lae’zel, Astarion and Shadowheart are alive- Tav really knows how to work around their goals if soloing

[@Vamilator7165]

Wyll, the only one who respects boundries.

[@istvancsap3513]

also least important ofall

[@SparkyMan12]

​@@istvancsap3513Need him to bang Mizora imo hottest character in the game but pity she's a one night stand and only fucks you to piss off Wyll

[@lamentpillar]

I was playing a solo durge save when I talked to Karlach and decided to kill the fake paladins on my own, I came back to her telling her I killed the paladins. She asked me again she could join and I still said no but she said something along the lines "oh come on"and the only choice I had was "okay fine". It ended up as not a solo durge run anymore lol

[@lamentpillar]

oh its fine I just decided that it won't be a solo durge run anymore and I have great friends help me fight the evil within me LOL

[@c0rnzy8]

I love how respectful Gale and Wyll is and just accepts your rejection

[@Keyatzin]

It would be cool if you came across all the companions at later parts of the game if you don't recruit them. Like you find their bodies or you find them in Moonrise fully controlled by the cult or something.

[@kimchisamurai7068]

happens iwth shart, there is away for astarion as well, but he has to join your party

[@figgot1571]

Here's one for Laezel. I didn't recruit her but kept bumping into her. First time was when she's trapped in the goblin trap, freed her but still denied to party up. Second was at the bridge with the githyanki patrol and the red dragon, I went up to her to trigger a cutscene that resulted in the big boss man ordering Laezel's death. After killing the githyanki, I still didn't party up with her. Third time was she was hanging out just outside the creche, waiting for me to join up with her, I didn't. I then went to do the zaithisk without her but didn't do the astral prism bit with Vlaakith. When I searched for her outside the monastery, she's missing. When I finally got to the shadow lands, I saw her corpse just near the entrance, can no longer be revived. Seems that is the ultimate fate for Laezel without the MC. It was sad so I carried her corpse away from the shadow lands and "buried" her somewhere nice.

[@BlueVenom9]

i cant stand rejecting Karlach, it hurts

[@ladyselin35]

Man wants to be alone. Just leave him alone. XD

[@blacknyellow962]

I do appreciate that they give you the option to make sure you're ACTUALLY sure about dismissing them and allow you to leave them behind.

[@bungouyevsky]

I don't know what happens to Gale, Karlach and Wyll if you don't recruit them, but it's so sad that Lae'zel, Shadowheart and Astarion eventually die if you leave them behind. (funny thing is I killed karlach and chopped Gale's hand, and Wyll left me on my evil durge playthrough where I sided with Minthara)

[@mando_dablord2646]

Gale likely causes a nuclear apocalypse and Karlach dies from the infernal engine. Wyll is probably punished if he doesn't find Karlach.

[@luistelles8719]

gale is dying inside lmao he like my chest hurts

[@CalMallow]

my heart broke when denying karlach but then her response got me

[@ryanwaller8479]

All of these broke my heart

[@shinobiforhonor9762]

Karlach is too sweet. too bad on my first playthrough I believed wyll & the “paladins” over her and beheaded her… she deserved better.

[@rop888]

Poor Shadowheart. Trying her best. Your Tav is handsome though 😋

[@reverieanimates887]

It’s because of that damn artifact!

[@BloodyVoyager]

"You're on your own" "I'm used to it..." 💔

[@Asgaardiangatekeeper]

She doesn't exactly have an award winning personality.

[@BloodyVoyager]

@@Asgaardiangatekeeper Yes she does

[@philipheng3876]

You can also meet and reject Shart in the Emerald Grove by the oxes

[@risurisunaa]

4:51 why the hell Tav is smiling like that while rejecting the best girl?

[@Lunar_Light_Wave]

Honestly I'd just do this out of spite.

[@Romir0s]

Now I am interested, what will happen if you kill Mizora, without recruiting Will, and will she even be in the Moonrise Towers?

[@vinerx8979]

No

[@3284es]

I accidently let Wyll die in my first playthrough before recruiting him and to answer this- Mizora just never appears in your game in that situation

[@mintkit1064]

​@3284es you can use the revivify scroll on him if he dies at the first encounter.

[@alblin]

How does the story progress with Shadowhearts artifact if you never get her on your party?

[@xxGamer101xxx]

She ends up dying when she goes to the goblin camp, so the artifact gets into your inventory that way.

[@marcthomas5949]

​@xxGamer101xxx can you just walk up to her corpse at that point and revive it?

[@xxGamer101xxx]

@@marcthomas5949 yes, speak for dead on her, and you'll be able to progress the main story no problem

[@XBNaddie]

​@@marcthomas5949Probably the same thing as when I killed Lae'zel when she got trapped by the tieflings. I assume since they are not considered companions when they're dead, so no revivals.

[@Pyritie]

Once I went into act 2, I got a scene in the camp intermission where "the artifact suddenly appears in your backpack"

[@dkdrock456]

Wait, why didn't you chose the last option for Astarion's dialog?

[@xyzen9673]

Why was laezel naked shirtless....

[@DarkRaikon]

will you actually meet them later on or is that it?

[@fawnalexander9387]

Pretty sure you find a p much zombie Astarion later on if you leave him lmao

[@guifire9747]

Some disappear at one point, while Shadowheart, Lazael and Astarion will die at one point if not recruited

[@ChangesOfTomorrow]

It's annoying how clingy Shart gets, almost out of character and creepy how a complete stranger keeps following you around. Would have been better to give the character the artefact another way then.

[@ixarkannon]

I agree

[@Delwin_reis]

Maybe because you're smart enough to realize that with more people, it's easier to solve the same problem? especially when you help her come out of the cocoon and she takes a line of trust from you, and can walk by your side?

[@devinport.]

Yep

[@pepp418]

I can't believe this spec ops cleric with barely any memory of herself is desperately trying to ally herself with the only person who helped her in any way shape or form in the past year. So out of character smh

[@Zaskow1]

@@pepp418 to begin with she is yet specs ops wannabe. Also she is pretty bad cleric of Shar sometimes.

[@kamonohasheesh]

It was physically painful watching you click to reject Karlach over and over 🥲
