Few things about the Dark Alchemist scene (Althea is a warrior, difficulty: nightmare):



In terms of difficulty, I'd rank Dark Alchemist + Spiders as the easiest < Three Thrall Guards < Three Thrall Guards + DA as hardest. They were all beatable, but the latter two required some rethinking of my strategy.



That said, the experience for three guards and three guards + DA is kind of low. Three guards + DA was around 269 (or 64 each). Three guards was closer to 40-something each. Talking and not fighting is worth 300 each. (And the bee fight with Shea was closer to 394 each, I think?)



Also, after choosing to kill her I fight three guards with no DA, I get a scene where the alchemist chucks a potion at Althea and then dies. Her surprise here is odd "you're still alive?" considering the DA wasn't actually part of the fight.



On a different path, trying to talk to the DA and failing miserably I fight three guards + the DA. Afterwards, I get a scene where the alchemist chucks a potion at Althea and dies. Except the alchemist isn't on screen (it's Althea, Chalassa, Jariel, and Rowinda). And there's no potion animation nor sound effect.

Riley: "They think the rest of us is in Ninim!" <-- should be "are in Ninim"



Gnoll Warrior A used Counter Attack.

Riposte increased by 7400%. <-- wow, that's a lot. That right?

Demon waves fight:

The second demon to spawn canceled my swap action. Instead, my characters remained where they were prior to the text, and then all the enemies got a free round on my front-row character.

Why can't I choose to kill Jariel instead of Rowinda? He's been asking for it half the game!



Also, in the follow-up Shea segment, I can't seem to rollback over the text. Same during the "Palisade Constructed" conversation.

As for why you can't choose to kill Jariel... obviously no romanceable character can be killed

I missed it too initially, but in the case you choose "killing whoever is responsible" (second option) and then kill alchemist (second option again) Althea actually KILLS the alchemist before the battle with her bodyguards begins! So that's why she is surprised that she is still alive after the battle, even if the DA wasn't in it. I replayed the scene and made sense.

I was REALLY creeped out by the Althea/Chalassa ending CG. I mean, Althea looked like she was a little kid, and not in a metaphoric way, I mean, PHYSICALLY a little girl. Don't get me wrong, the art is gorgeous and I loved it, but it was kind of downer to see her that way. No matter, is just a small complain, and I don't really want to come across as a winy fan.

I wish I could. Nothing against him, it's just that I really love Rowinda, and since Chalassa could be killed in the normal game, I sort of expected having an option; but then again, he need to be alive to be accounting the events of the DLC. T___T At least I can imagine that Rowinda did find her way back to the party after her "Lava diving" experiment, and after a good slapping session, forgave everyone.

Ah I didn't had that impression. I thought she looks like a young lady "inside" (and she is, considering elves live for centuries!). But in the image she didn't seem like a little girl. Maybe is the pose, both the crying pose and the fact that she is lying on Chalassa's arm so she seems taller than Althea?

Haha you know! I would pick Rowinda 10 times over Jariel too. I know this is personal tastes of course, but I don't like the "good polite educated guys" like him neither. Crazy warlock? much better Though as you said, the after credits prologue shows that we haven't seen the last from her...!

I tried killing the council, made it to Althea's segment, then reloaded my choice and boom:



I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Do exploring the caves actually make a difference? I found a mammoth so there appears to be some random chance for something, but I dunno if it affects the plot.



I'll have to try the council alive later. I got unlucky with the ratmen shop this act and now I'm short on healing/rejuv potions. Krimm's wave is pretty rough. If you wanted to be nice, you could increase the potion supply they sell. None of their equipment has been useful all expansion.



In an alternate universe: if you kill the council, your party heals between gnoll waves, but Daronas and the guard do not. Also, with a four man party and Daronas the warrior, I think it'd be more helpful to have the archer volunteer than the warrior guard. And that's even with a non-Ranger Shea.
