I kind of disliked Act 3? Baldur's Gate was too big and overwhelming for me, Lae'zel getting kidnapped by Orin made me prioritize taking down Orin, but then she was way more interesting than Gortash, so Gortash being the last one defeated before end-game just felt like a let down. I played the whole game as super pro-Emperor (yes, I fucked him) and super pro-Orpheus with Lae'zel so when all of a sudden I *had* to betray one of them I felt super gross.

Baldur's Gate itself was definitely overwhelming for me, but not necessarily in a bad way. Just a very time consuming way for me. Orin was definitely way more interesting, so I took her down last but also because I didn't care that she had Halsin (is it random who she takes?)

I was also pro both Emperor and Orpheus, but the Emperor's insistence to not even let me talk to Orpheus was the last straw. And considering how quickly he flipped the switch on us there, I'm wondering how much of the game was him gaslighting us. There was no way my character wasn't going to try and reason with Orpheus (who was surprisingly chill all things considered), but I did feel bad about it after the Emperor did spend all game shielding us.

The fact that Orpheus was even willing to go full squid for the team shows that at the very least the Emperor was misguided about him. I almost pulled the trigger on that too, but then took the bullet myself and Orpheus was all "ahhhhhh you got me, you were just testing my honor, good one." Which I actually was, kinda. But he said my name will live on in Gith legend, which is good enough for me.

Though Shadowheart did have to smuggle me out of the city because she said that even though my name should live on in legend there, everyone would definitely still try to kill me now that things went back to the status quo.

So who knows. I'm sure I made more of an impact on the Gith than in the Gate anyway.
