If you talk to squire (ketheric's robot dog) while holding the ball scratch gives you, squire will immediately trust you somewhat. The conversation becomes very depressing.

[@talthan]

didnt want to kill squire latter :( it wanted love and had no skin for scratches or rubs or somethign along those lines

[@Streaming_Music]

@@talthan You can still give it scratches... It lets you.

[@AikoSea]

Ya I got that sweet convo too didn’t realize that was the trigger

[@0malware118]

Ehhh probably killing him is the best you can do since he is already undead and only forced to "live"

[@therrydicule]

@@0malware118 I think she would have liked being reunited with Isobel. Squire is being quite nostalgic with the smell of Selunite magic cast by Isobel... I don't know how Isobel would react to seeing Squire, though.

[@Blackbeard069]

As a Druid, I told the Ox he could learn to become a Druid too. He then said he will learn because he wanted to walk on two legs.

[@Beading_Kate]

😂 that look on our hero’s face when gnoll is born… Anyone else would be scared/disgusted, while dark urge character is deeply moved by the scene and almost sheds a tear.

My favorite interaction with Squire is if you have Scratch in your camp and you kept the ball he gives you, you can attempt to win her over with it. It fails miserably, but it's a great scene.

[@purgejmi]

Huge scary spider at the bottom of a pit "I'm gonna jump down there and talk with it!" :D

[@klaeljanu]

You can also mime your way into freeing them. Which was made funnier when my partner, using Speak with Animals, *failed* to befriend them.

[@Leet-iz2fz]

The Addled Frog is filled with a rabid desire to kill and can only resist by thinking of its "happy place". Kind of tragic.

[@jam5778]

that damn frog almost killed me

[@Thecrazytoco]

Addled frog still sitting in my chest

[@loserinasuit7880]

Only when the Hag is present. The Frog is a happy friend when you find them after that, they even give you treasure.

[@holliegould3463]

i interpretted it as: she's in a LOT of pain due to what the hag has done to her swampy home (frogs absorb things through their skin and her waters are polluted!) so she's filled with rage about it, and thus chants to remind herself of what her home *should* be 😟

[@Aleph-Noll]

[@timhaldane7588]

[@zyncra3965]

I didn't use any speak with animals for the first half of my first playthrough. When I first tested it, I was amazed. The amount of work that went into this game is just crazy

[@ghoulishgoober3122]

​@@zyncra3965If you don't want to use the spell, potions work just fine, you can collect plenty and they last a while

[@elenalizabeth]

Plus when Scratch brings you random gifts in the mornings it’s cute to hear him say “I’m not sure what it is but it made me think of you” 😍

[@AikoSea]

Ketherics dog actually has a super sweet interaction if you pass an animal handling check first *spoilers* she says she recognizes your scent, presumably from Selune’s blessing, that Ketheric and Isobel used to smell like that and she died protecting Isobel and you can pet her.

[@aristobrat4987]

can someone explain this fucked up timeline to me ? how did isobel even die to begin with , and when did an entire temple of shar get built UNDER the Thorm FAMILY tomb >? help : (

[@maksforest8316]

@@aristobrat4987 SPOILER AHEAD Long ago, even beofre Ketheric Thorms reign, it is an ancient legacy. Later he reigns the city, has a wife. a daughter (Isobel) and a Son (the alcoholic one) as well as two other relatives. Then his wife dies and he is sad, later dies his daughter. Selune never revives them, so he adresses Shar and imprisons Night Song. Dark Goddess tells him about the ancient temple and the forge, so he restores it and starts the Dark Justiciar army, which help him to curse the land. They make the golem to protect the forge, but still fail as the Harpers attack on land, while the architect of the Moonrise Towers makes a pact with Rapahel - kill all the remaining Justiciars (via Yugrir) in exchange for the soul of the architect. Then Thorm decided that he played Paladin enough and sits sad until Myrkul says "Hi" and offers daughter now, wife later (if he behaves good, probably) kind of deal. Throm, who has decided to go breaking bad and was already broken, agrees, as he still loves his daugher and wife (understanding that he has done too much to be frogiven by anybody or anything).

[@maksforest8316]

@@aristobrat4987 If you ask me, the man built a city in the worst possible place. He had an illithic colony, an evil Goddess temple and a hell-forge below his town. I wonder how he even managed to rule that place...

[@margaritoamargo6347]

@@aristobrat4987 I believe there are 100 years of history or so between these events. His daughter was only recently resurrected. She died from some nameless disease same as her mother. The Nightsong is immortal and so is Ketheric.

[@SirDankleberry]

​@@margaritoamargo6347I don't think it was a disease since the dog died the same night as her trying to protect her.

You technically can. With oathbreaker paladin you can control undead…but the spell doesn’t really work the way it should and Squire might get lost or stuck along the way.

if alone when walk in to Ketheric. Narrator adds on... "Even the dog knows you" XD but, seems you must be alone as Dark Urge to trigger that, else don't get it. Made me laugh a bit on hearing that added on about the dog.

[@talthan]

wonder if the meadow is the way it used to look before the Hag moved in or if was was always a swamp

[@wile123456]

Probably always a swamp but normal and not dead looking. It's near a river and the coast, natural place for a swamp to be

[@zyncra3965]

Lore wise, things around the the presence of hags rapidly decay if I am not mistaken. So probably a swamp in the first place, but not like...that

[@SuperKratosgamer]

The blue Jay is a liar, that little nest is his, and the giant nest in the rooftop is made by the Eagle, he scammed you into stealing the giant nest for him. The white raven sound alot like the female undead merchant from dark souls 1, and since Clare Corbett is voicing some chracters in bg3, i assume its the same VA.

[@talthan]

prove that he is, while I suspect he is...not entirely sure that he didnt have his nest there the eagles took it and made it bigger to suit their needs all of the text seems to say the blue jay thinks its his and has allways been his and nothing says otherwise or that hes delusional or lying

[@BioMatic2]

to be fair the eagles are in the way of getting the blood of lathander so they gotta go anyway

[@icicleus]

@@BioMatic2 I just picked the lock of the thing holding the way to turn off the self defense thing... but then I got made at the gith and let the place blow up anyway, also left the eagles alive after talking with them but.. I guess it didn't matter since the place blew up anyway

[@holystatic]

@@BioMatic2 You don't have to kill them, a combination of mage hand and invisibility can avoid the fight.

[@sheogorath1374]

Actually he admits the little nest belongs to another bird he stole it from and you can call him a hypocrite for it. As for whether he is lying, the nest itself is definitely not his but it's possible the spot was his and the eagles chased him off. But even if that's the case, it was fair play since he does the same thing to other birds.

Because Larian is rewriting the rules for their own humor.
