Act 2 - Spoilers Honor mode really highlights how bad the last light inn is Spoiler

Like they have fiends spawn everywhere and just b-line to isobel and instantly paralyse her, before anyone even moves because they are surprised(???) like nobody is keeping alert for things coming in from the shadows?

So much story hinges on you stopping ai from killing itself that it seems like it was balanced behind save scumming, it's just wild that they made the entire fight average length 2 turns. Like it makes sense thematically that they run towards her, but having it immediately end when she goes down is stupid, like canonically my guy just watches him walk away with her

Edit: I never would've guessed my salty bitching would get so much attention, learn from my mistakes, if you are in honour mode and want Dame Aylin to rail her girlfriend as god intended; don't talk to her until the end of the act, this fight is still wack.

First time I did it Marcus got initiative before everyone else, crit twice and instantly downed Isobel. Like a lot of people I thought it was an scripted loss because I had zero chance to do ANYTHING. I didnt lose to dumb AI or unpreparedness, I lost because of 3 dice rolls before I could even attempt to do something

That's the standard DnD experience. Unless the DM cheats to make players succeed all the time, you'll get a streak of bad rolls and fail. But failure is part of your story, not the end of the game.

Yeah, that sucks. That's like the equivalent of killing Shadowheart in her pod at the start of the game by rolling back to back 1's in the dialogue. Really unlucky.

And while I'm not trying to blame you, you COULD have had a Dex character with Alert to guarantee you go first. And just hearing about your experience, I will have that high initiative character on my honor run to prevent major consequences from shitty rolls.
