Can you find Us again after the Nautiloid Crash? [No spoilers please, just Yes/No]

[Homer Morisson]

See title, and again, please no spoilers, just a simple "Yes, down the road" or "No, gone for good", thanks!

[ExcaliburV]

Not that I've seen. I kinda want to as well, though.

[RACHMANOVSKI]

No. Gone for good.

[Homer Morisson]

What a shame... loved that little guy to bits.

Much rather have Us back than Minsc... hate Minsc actually, way too lowbrow, dumb and slapstick-y, if they do him the same as BG1&2.

Thanks for the quick info tho, guys.

Same, I'd take Us for Minsc in a heartbeat. But then, Us was still kind of a loyal member of the Mind Flayer collective, so we'd probably have to kill it as likely as not. Shame.

If you do the Medicine Removal at least (not sure about the other ways), you can get a Perception Check and if passed a DEX check to cripple Us and make it perma-loyal.
That way, Us also won't do anything about you freeing Shadowheart directly on the Nautiloid.

Spoiler's about Us' loyality question.^^

Is that what that does? I've never noticed Us question any decision I make, even outright attacking the other intelliect devourers on board, whether I attempt that check or not.

The narrator alludes to it that way, yeah, something about making it more obedient.

Re Shadowheart & Us:
I'm not 100% about the Shadowheart thing, I just assumed it was relevant, because Us actually says "Leave this one, this one must remain", but when I free her, Us doesn't comment or goes hostile.

Given that there is another Intellect Devourer in the hallway to where you find the corpse with the key to the chest, I always assumed that if you didn't get the DEX success to make Us loyal/obedient, that Us would then have turned hostile and that hallway Devourer would have backed Us up.

[NixAhmose]

Unfortunately no. Hopefully during the full release build there's a way to get back in contact with US eventually.

[KingOfFriedChicken]

It may be something that comes back later in the story possible but as far as right now, no

[Lepakko]

In current EA build "Us" is no where to see. But like few have said. On Full release Act 1 wont be same as what we have it now. So there is a hope that we see more of "Us"

[Homer Morisson]

Yeah, here's hoping that we'll get Us back with full reactivity from the world, after all a "talking" brain on legs should elicit plenty of reactions, heh.

Yeah usually something like "Kill that thing", "How dare you bring Mindflayer-spawn into our house" "No, you can't get in our city with that thing around" or simply "WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH *runs away*" ;P

Which would give me a nice pretext to answer: "FIREBALL IN ALL Y'ALL FACES!" ;)

Srsly though, with Larian implementing Disguise Self as an actually functional gameplay mechanic, it's not unreasonable to think there'd be a way to camouflage Us for so-called "civilized" society.

After all, BG3 proper and the villages/communities will also allow Drow and Dragonborn into their midst, yes with reactivity, but not with constant instant hostility.^^

As a GM myself, I can confidently say, there is always a way...However there's also always a way for that disguise to fail to throw players into troubles...^^

On a slight OT note:

Been there, done that... WFRP campaign some years back, clever AF plan to sneak into a Cultist's Den, my mage disguised as a Cultist, but as my Mage had secretly been experimenting with Warpstone, he had developed a crushing phobia of staircases, and what would he find immediately before entering the Cultist's inner sanctum?

Exactly: a staircase... concentration broken, needless to say, but then the phobia kicked it up a notch and he had to run away screaming, alerting the entire compound...

Also hope, to get back on topic somewhat, that there'll be similar experiences to be had in BG3... not constantly, mind, as that'd devolve rather quickly into nothing more than slapstick, but at least once would be cool, heh.
