OR: I try to make sense of whatever the fuck is up with the Dark Urge's oiliest ex-fwb
enver flymm lives with his parents, sally and dravo flymm in the lower city, cobblers for generations, etc. he tinkers a lot, "traps and mechanisms", described as "needy, foolish, wicked, demanding attention, very crafty, smart boy - too smart" "He was always a little monster. Nasty to the core. He would've torn me and Dravo apart with his whining, his demands, the never-ending racket of him!" (note: they note that they made enver feel powerless, and this would have been the inciting incident that made him feel justice= revenge and fear)
the parents owe money to The Guild, the criminal organization that basically ran Baldur's Gate behind the scenes (everyone either owing them money or getting kickback / blackmail from it)
a warlock shows up and offers money for Enver. they sell their son to said warlock.
Enver seems to have changed his name then, either the warlock doing it or him denying the flymm name?
warlock then brings Enver to the House of Hope - I assume Raphael might have been his patron? which would mean raphael wanted enver from the start. Nubaldin, who used to work in the prison of the House of Hope, calls him "a mischievous little blot of a boy, who slipped through his fingers"
at some point during his stay in the prison of the House of Hope, Enver figures out about the Crown of Karsus held in Mephistopheles' vault. he escapes the house of hope
back in faerun's plane, he starts moving against the Guild. There's a report to Nine-Fingers, Guildmaster, of "upstart smuggler Enver Gortash making inroads on the illicit arms trade in the chionthar valley", though states it's more like "annexation", replacing the Knights of the Shield and the Zhentarim. definitely had a grudge to bear against them lol
Notes that seem to be from somwhere in this period of time:
"lavender scented diary of lady wisteria jannath" where hes like. seducing this old pariar for the diamond ring worth more than her mansion.
a letter to franc, a now deceased arms dealer, where hes like being a freak about how "weapons distributions continues like a parent saving their drowning child: swimmingly" and also how he loves "any man willing to birth a little more slithering wet malice into the world"
1482 DR (for sure, from dialogue with Karlach saying it's been ten years), he's selling Karlach (who looked up to and liked him !) to Zariel in order to get the prototype for his Steel Watchers. because i think he can't be satisfied with what he actually has, he wants *everyone* to like him, through being terrified of him and his weapons.
at some point, meets with the Dark Urge and ally together. they steal the crown of karsus with halsik's help. the Absolute hoax is put into motion
they get ketheric and myrkul in on it, after the crown heist, by digging isobel up so she can get necromanced.
Gondians fit here (as the note by Vance Farnol places it)
not too long before the game (at most a year? two?), orin poisons and tadpoles the Dark Urge and goes to Ketheric and Gortash to act as Bhaal's Chosen. Dark Urge becomes a test subject chew toy for Kressa Bonedaughter at Moonrise.
gortash tadpoles his parents "months" before the game, as sally flymm states if you talk to her.
My question: when did Enver Gortash find the Emperor/Balduran and bring him back under the domination of the Elder Brain, as part of taking down the Knights of the Shield? Or when he and the Dark Urge had acquired the Crown? does anyone have a screenshot of the interrogation sequence between those two?
(note: the emperor has a devnote for the emotions the Voice Actor was supposed to express when gortash proposes an alliance thats like. Yeah he's lying but i hate his guts, and you could always betray him first)
With my next BG3 character I'm going to put at least 3 points in rogue to get an extra bonus action from thievery, horde every tadpole without using them, demand to be "purified" before Lae'zel at the creche, accept the Super Tadpole, cash-in my tadpole horde, and become a GOD.
Has anyone else made a build like this? If so, what other class did you choose to get the most out of it?
anders dragonage is such a character. he has a clinic in a sewer. he wears feathers. he’s both tainted and possessed. he occasionally glows. he’s the reason mages aren’t allowed to leave the tower for PE. he came up with a cat name before he got a cat. he’s bad at spelling. he blew up a church. he has a “controversy” section on his wikipedia page, but the controversy in question is him being way too into men for gamer dudebros in 2011 to handle, not the fact that he blew up a church. he has a wikipedia page
So.. “Dread Wolf” has always been an anagram for “Fade World”….
Meaning that somehow, for almost eight friggin years, no one noticed, UNTIL it became ONE flippin word!
GUYS
THAT in itself is the meaning!!
Dreadwolf became ONE
Just like the WORLD and the FADE will become ONE again when the Veil comes down afjksjkkldfld
It also means that THIS moment on the Gamers for Groceries stream was a flippin hint all along AND SOLAS’ THIGHS ARE THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING AND I’M LOSING MY MIND
"they should bring back the inquisitor as the protagonist it gives them a personal stake in solas as a villain" there is nothing funnier than the new pc knowing absolutely nothing about solas and every single other person around them having deeply personal beef with him. literally nothing
This was all I could think when my Inquisitor was like “Slavery is bad” and Dorian was like “hmm I never thought about it” Fenris would have a field day insulting him
