First of all, let me say, I LOVE this game. Best CRPG since Planescape: Torment, as far as I'm concerned. But...
Every now and then there's a moment that... oof.
In one playthrough, I decided I'd make Greybor a little more interesting and add some levels of Cavalier so he could have a smilodon pet.
CUT TO:
Greybor ambushes the party telling me that he's been hired to kill me unless I pay him more money. I love money so I cordially tell him to get bent. Initiative starts.
ROUND ONE: His animal companion full attacks. Him. And kills him.
There is no round two.
*hysterical laughter*
But wait! It gets better!
Later on, I stop by the Drezen tavern for some reasons. At Greybor's table I spot his smilodon, apparently just enjoying a drink in his ill-built edgelord boss's old haunt.
In my new head canon, the smilodon spends the rest of the campaign at that table, picking dwarf out of his teeth and drinking a White Russian.
How about the rest of you? Any hilarious WotR stories?
Nothing no nearly as good as that one xD
At one point while camping, Camellia said something and Nenio responded with:
"Your intellect is lower than the intellect of the average citizen, rich girl. Your knowledge and views are of no interest to the world."
I nearly choked to death on my drink.
So in Kenabres, if you’re a reckless bastard, you can wind up summoning a vrock, who teleports away. Later you can find him near the Inquistor Hulrun and his men. Obviously since I was level 3 and IT WAS A GODDAMN VROCK, I decided to lead him over to the ever-vigilant inquisitor. Surely the guy who set fire to Ember for being an elf and wants to massacre Desnans for, I dunno, defying some “No Dancing” Footloose rule, surely THAT guy would help kill a vrock.
He did not.
Pole-assed motherf@$*er stood there while the vrock ripped my party to pieces.
Grease surprisingly helps against vrocks. At least it did when I played the game a year and something ago.

I think they corrected that so it doesn't do much against winged foes. Or he made the save. Regardless, I reloaded, hit him with the sleep hex, and went to town with coup de grace.
Still feel like the ever-vigilant, "Enemies are everywhere, EVERYWHERE I TELL YOU" inquisitor should have noticed the vrock murdering people right next to him. I guess everyone has their off days...

He probably was day dreaming about killing Desna worshippers or burning elf girls who look at him funny.
Might be that I also used the Sleep hex from Ember and not Grease. I did use Grease very successfully against that pesky Water Elemental, though!
I don't think grease works on elementals, either.
It definitely does in the game, that's how I've beaten the Water Elemental optional encounter early in the game multiple times.

Yep, totally does. Anything that can fall down, grease has a chance to make them fall down. Highly versatile.
Which brings me to my lengthy diatribe about how I came to question whether the crusade was worth saving when the entire troop defending Defender's Heart during the big battle scene charged into an entangle, grease effect area and proceeded to fall down and never get back up.
Like, ok, demon cultists are insane and could be forgiven for being fools. But you guys literally had to just stand your ground and rain arrows down on them as they got entangled and/or fell prone. Come on crusaders! Do better.
*stern disapproving look*

That happened to me the most recent time I played. The funny thing is the previous times I'd been through the defense my Caster's won initiative so in those battles, so the cultists never got into aggro range of the defenders between grease, web, and sickening entanglement. But this time Kenabres's Finest ran right into the quagmire and spent the next three in game minutes making angry faces at the cultists while the archers on the outer battlements were slaughtered by the forces coming up the ladder. In the end, my Bloodrager and a single dwarf who was too slow to run towards the quagmire below had to hold the outer roofs.
I'm glad to say that the dwarf in question stepped up and defeated a straggling cultist who came up the ladder when my bloodrager had to confront the Minotaur. I hope Irabeth made the other idiots watch as she pinned a medal to that Dwarf's chest.
Galfrey's Bard: My Queen! I've prepared a rousing song to inspire our crusaders!
*plays Yakity Sax*
Galfrey: Yes! Sounds great! Teach it to all the trumpeters and let us sally forth on this First Crusade that shall surely be victorious!
*100 years later*
Galfrey: Maybe we need a new song.

I really need to pick the game up again. Its so much fun.
I'm waiting out the last DLC, which drops in a few days, then another patch cycle to iron out the new bugs it introduces, then it's time for that Angel run I've been holding off on. :)
