ORTELASSA GOLDSTEIN

Haltyrr: Neither of us is trustworthy, if you ask me. But if we hadn't given each other a single chance, we wouldn't have gotten this far. And if the Emperor himself had not given a chance to US, we would have been simple dead a long ago.

Ah this restless nights

i`m not a fan of a skimpy clothes, but this one looks so nice on Hal

[ortelassa-goldstein]

Haltyrr doesn't give a shit about Baldur`s Gate, but so much people talk about this city with adoration, so she expected a lot…

Spoiler: the city didn`t impress Hal and seemed to her like a rotten hole.

[ortelassa-goldstein]

Haltyrr is not impressed

I finally finished the quest with Ansur and I’m so surprised that people say “well that was the moment when I knew I will turn against the Emperor!”

Excuse me but to me Ansur seemed to be a phenomenal asshole not even to Balduran (which was of course he was as most lawful goods eventually do in my opinion, and that’s why I don’t like this alignment ) ,but to Tav!

Spoilers ahead.

He literally treats Tav like dirt. He immediately takes over Tav’a body, in a very rude way, he ignores Tav’a resistance, he literally discards Tav’a free will and agency because he’s too busy with his anger and revenge.

While Tav came to ask for help. In the hardest of time for BG that Ansur swore to protect.

Tav completes the trials, proves to be worthy, and Ansur just throws them around as a puppet and then attacks them because they came along with the Emperor.

I know they are a Zombie Wyrm, but don’t they say that even if their body is dead, their soul is still unbeaten? And so what? Their soul once again decides just to kill someone who doesn’t seem “good enough” or is under a “wrong influence”?

I mean, he can clearly see that Tav still has free will and they are NOT enthralled when he literally rips into Tav’a mind and possesses his body. And they can also see that Tav’a intentions were genuine. They didn’t mean to harm Ansur or to use him for evil. And what does Tav get?

An assault on their conscience and then an attack without even trying to talk. Maybe persuade Tav that the Emperor is a bad ally. “Dear Ansur” doesn’t even consider Tav worthy of a conversation before trying to kill them.

And I must believe he was on the right when he tried to mercy kill Emperor in his sleep?

No way. This game has taught me that things often are not what they seem and not what we are taught to believe they were.

There’s a not you can find that Ansur was Balduran’s friend and he swore to protect the city until a horrible treason happened.

Well I think the horrible treason was trying to kill your dearest friend in his sleep even though he clearly kept his conscience and asked you to leave and be happy anywhere else if you can’t accept this new form.

Ansur could have at least turn it into a fair duel.

Nothing will convince me trying to mercy kill someone you love in their sleep is anything but a horrible treason. But anyhow, even if Ansur was really as good as everyone believes him to be, and Balduran was not wrong about him (which might be true, I hope it's true), after his death his anger completely took over his soul. And he lost himself it to it. Ironically, he's much less of who he was and what he cared for, than Emperor who's an Illithid for a very long time. Because Emperor still genuinely cares for Baldur's Gate and wants to protect it. While all Ansur wants is revenge for someone who literally didn't want to be slaughtered. And he's completely fine with killing a total stranger who came seeking help and actually proved to be a worthy hero. What a heart of gold he has, oh my oh my.

[ortelassa-goldstein]

Same feelings! This all ansur thing actually looks so obviously for me, so it was a big bad surprise, when i'd saw all that people's "oh nooo how emperor dare". It's sad that all need extra explanations at all. Oh, and one thing broke my heart. Emperor himself never blamed Ansur, never been angry for trying to kill him, he was just... upset. And said he hopes never been in this situation again. Cold-blooded mind flayer murderer indeed.

PS lawful good characters annoying af, true.

ceremorphosis suits her perfectly

"I see the truth in your eyes, through the lies Don't you hide it behind a disguise and a fake smile You're mesmerised by the sights and the lights In the darkest of night, despite your own destruction"

[ortelassa-goldstein]

Now help me.

i`m not immune for illithid propaganda and i have no regrets.

something from my head and screenshots again

I think, this is spoilers for act II... anyways, all is under the cut.

Shadowheart: Now Lady Shar will abandon me. I lost my life. Haltyrr: Just like me. And there's really nothing that bad about it. Shadowheart: Excuse me?! How can you compare yourself to me? Especially now? You don't know what you're talking about.

Haltyrr: (sarcastically) but you understand everything very well without even a half of your memories. Haltyrr: Listen, I'm not trying to humiliate you or make fun of your feelings. I'm trying to say… I understand you. And there is nothing terrible in your situation, just like in mine. Haltyrr: If I hadn't leave my House and Lolth herself, where would I be now and what would I be doing? Would poking around in the shit of political intrigues in the Underdark? Or, maybe, would be dead already.

Haltyrr: Of course, situation with tadpoles in our heads is questionable, but, honestly, it doesn't bother me at all at this moment. I am enjoy this life. MY OWN life. A FREE life. Haltyrr: Gods and creators never respect freedom of their own creatures. They appreciate our suffering only. All gods are like that. There are no exceptions - and you can see it too. So, this is time for you to be your own goddess, my heart. And this is actually fucking great time!

Haltyrr: (kicking another bone sculpture) I'm so freaking tired of all this bones and arrogant corpses… Listen, guys, you`re simply DEAD, so BE DEAD PLEASE

Haltyrr: Is this a drider with a lantern? Pfft, these absolutists really don't care who they accept into their cult. I`ll kick those asses without soiling my blades, look!
