That's not what I would've guessed comes next. Planescape: Torment would've been my guess. Ah well, pumped to hear you'll do more seasons on different kinds of RPG systems.

2025-04-03 19:46:13 +0000 UTCGreat season and show, Gary and Kole! Thank you both. I have really enjoyed BG3 so much more since I started listening to Real Lich Hours after my initial play through, and I already loved the game. SPOILER... My favorite ending was when my Tav chose to spend the rest of her life with Lae'zel, fighting Vlaakith throughout the Astral Plane. I was giddy when Lae'zel called Quulos and Quuthos. Seeing my Tav mount a Red Dragon and fly off with Lae'zel into the sunset was one of the greatest endings to a CRPG I have experienced.

2025-04-03 01:40:55 +0000 UTCBefore the endings were enhanced I managed to get the most bummer ending for almost everybody! SPOILERS... clearly My Tav, being about as passionately pro Gith-liberation as her Bae'zel, did the self sacrificial ceramorphosis so the Gith people could finally have their promised liberator. Lae'zel, understandably, gave a tearful goodbye and rode off into the astral sea. For RP reasons I felt my Tav had to choose death over life as a mindflayer. The game will let you stab yourself and bleed out on the docks. Then Karlach, seemingly from grief at witnessing the scene, begins to burn. She has some extremely bittersweet words about just how thoroughly she lived what little life she got. Shadowheart and Astarion were dead and estranged respectively ... so nothing on them. I don't recall if the other characters got a word in during all this. Got to say, real gut punch. I had to take a good long break before I came back. I do respect that the game will let you *not* have a happy ending, even for a by-and-large good-guy playthrough.

2025-04-02 20:58:06 +0000 UTCHow much tadpoling you do does matter with the patched extended bad endings! If you do a non-bhaal evil ending you have to pass a constitution check to avoid ceremorphosis–learned that the hard way lol

2025-03-31 20:28:31 +0000 UTCYeah, I know the guys, I just got their names mixed up when I was doing the notes after having played the part a while back. Lotsa death gods! -GB

2025-03-31 14:40:00 +0000 UTCAt the end of my first playthrough, I only fucked with Gale, Shadowheart, and Astarion—knowing that I’d do everyone’s quests on replays. When Withers was talking to me about dead Karlach, I had the option to say that she was my sister. It was pretty ridiculous considering I sold the metal that would’ve fixed her heart for a few coins.

2025-03-30 21:08:01 +0000 UTCFun little snippet about the bard in the epilogue. It's the lord of song, Milil. He apparently owes Jergal a favor and is doing this for him, but no one even knows who he is anymore and he's butthurt about it lol. You're character can either recognize him, or coerce him into telling you who he is without him knowing. You can also just lie and make him believe you do, when you don't. Pretty good stuff
Justin Schmidt
2025-03-30 20:49:46 +0000 UTCYeah there are several clues that pinpoints this. The statue of Jergal just outside the tomb where you find Withers, the question he asks “What is the value of a single mortal life?” is the exact same thing Jergal has been quoted on saying according to one of the in-game books. Then there is the Book of Dead Gods you can find in the same temple that talks about names of Gods that were lost after the Second Sunderlng. It fits his profile.

2025-03-30 19:53:08 +0000 UTCWithers is Jergal, not Kelemvor. Kelemvor is the human that took Myrkul’s place. Jergal is the god who gave power to Bane Bhaal & Myrkul in the first place.

2025-03-30 19:04:11 +0000 UTCI’ll watch this episode when I finish my recent play through. Thank you so much boys for doing this series! I love Larian’s games and I love CRPGs so getting a dedicated pod series to cover then like this has been a treat.
Christopher Grunert Pedersen
2025-03-30 18:32:38 +0000 UTCDefinitely play it if you haven’t.

2025-03-30 18:32:26 +0000 UTCGonna listen to these later after finishing up from where I am in CH3, but just wanted to say I appreciate ya'll doing this series! Loved this game since the beginning and was glad that ya'll did a thick and full length walkthrough of it. I always looked forward to these pods each week and wished there were more pods that did this for rpgs/ jrpgs.

2025-03-30 18:23:12 +0000 UTCImmediately skipped to the end to see what the next game was gonna be. I’ve had this one in my steam library for god knows how long. Will be interested to see if Pathfinder WOTR gets a season. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things.
