Ruthlessness/Survive Definitely, their both on my writing/drawing playlist. I desperately want a full version of The Challenge. I came across the Troy saga on accident.
Bg3 ideas? Hmm, Wyll and Lae'zel definitely have the musical on a gym playlist. No one can tell those two aren't theater kids, with how they speak and carry themselves.
Mine is "remember them" and "thunder bringer"
And man me too, i like how they didn't cut corners or tone it down just to appeal to people who don't like musicals. I like how passionate and at times corny it gets, i eat it up.
And yes but I meant like concept wise!
For example, when Odysseus has to kill an infant, the prince of troy, just because a god told him to, would the bg3 companions do it if placed in the same position?
Wyll and Karlach wouldn't, no matter who. Even if the god offered to free Wyll from his contract or replace Karlach's heart. I don't think they'd ever kill an infant.
Astarion, for his freedom? Yes he would. Gale for his ambition? Yes but only after doing a lot of mental gymnastics and you sprinkle it manipulation from Mystra.
Lae'zel would but I bet you it will eat her up at night, that she will throw up a bit in her mouth whenever she picks up her sword handle. That it will haunt her how much she trained all her life to defeat the best of foes but that helpless infant was the person she took the life of, even for Vlaakith. She will do it but she will hate herself.
Shadowheart would try, she really will try and give it her all but the second the infant cries she is on her knees horrfied at her own actions. She'd be the voice asking Shar if she can take the kid instead and raise him as her own or send him away or hide him or anything but this.
Minthara would do it AND HEAR ME OUT, Halsin would do it.
Nature is brutal and people forget that a lot, Halsin would never do it happily or willingly. But he killed those Goblin kids with cold blood, if the infant looked like a monster he wouldn't hesitate for the safety of everyone else.
I feel like Halsin and Minthara have a lot more in common than people realise. The case of yin and yang having a bit of each other inside each other.
Dame Aylin wouldn't do it, I think even if it meant losing Isobel. Unless it was Selune who told her to, because the second that infant crosses the line between good and evil in her eyes, he is doomed.
Isobel however, would not do it. Even if it meant killing Dame Alyin or leaving her imprisoned. She would disobey Selune. That's the human nature in her.
I feel like elves in general are less empathetic than humans to people who aren't from their own kind. Githyanki are more principled than humans and put their emotions aside to get a job done.
You need a full human to properly sin and disobey a god.
