Weakened Attributes from the zaith'isk.

[Boomstar]

Is there a way to get rid of this? I never noticed this happened till many, many hours later. Is this just something permanent? I'm just never going to use the character again if so which is a shame.

[Boomstar]

Boy these forums move fast. I'll just bump just this once.

[Joghurt]

I literally just started searching for the same thing since I only just noticed them. Really want to know!

Also, is the whole creche supposed to attack you afterwards? I just defeated the people in the next room but Lae'Zel doesn't seem to say anything about it so I'm wondering if I did something weird since it would seem like she should have something to say about everyone attacking us :P

The consequence of using the zaith'isk is yours to bear, sadly.

If you succeed the checks to speak with the Inquisitor further down, you get put into a critical decision. Depending on your choice afterwards, everyone starts attacking you.

Just keep going for now.

Oh man i wanna know too. Lost 2 Int, 2 Con and 2 Wis with Lae´Zel. Tried everthing to "cure" her, but the Zaith'isk really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ her up good and nothing works....

[Boomstar]

Honestly just really unhappy with this decision. A permanent stat decrease this significant might as well have killed the character outright. Had to switch to karlach mid way through act 2. Guess ill only bring lae when i have to which really sucks.

[Boomstar]

Just wondering if anyone found how to get rid of this,

[Knifey]

It seems permanent. It's not that bad though. Mine lost CON/INT/WIS, the only one that really matters for her is CON. I boosted it once though through an attribute boost so she's at 14 CON. Not too bad...

[Raodek]

Is it a debuff? Did you get it from failing some saving throw?
I used it on origin character and made it through without failing a throw but I don't have any debuff.

[korkk]

so it seems failing any of the checks causes a permantent stat loss in my case it was only 1 wis but my question is the voice says it made the parasite stronger anyone know what this means in the long run?

clearly one of the main choices in the game is use the tadpoles power or dont in my run i haven't used any tadpole powers im curious if making it more powerful by blowing up the zaith'isk counts as using the tadpole powers anyone know?

People want STORY consequences, not "put this character in the bin because their stats suck now" consequences.

Giving a significant, permanent, irreversible debuff to a character's mechanics based on the responses to a story based interactive cutscene is objectively ♥♥♥♥ game design, and I say this as someone for whom BG3 is possibly the best game that's come out in the last 10 years.

Honestly this is just plain awful game design. Punishing your players with gameplay mechanics consequences off the back of story based decisions is really, really bad if there's no way to foresee it in advance and no way to counteract it after the fact.

Having to bin off a character with a great story because her stats now suck is just a baffling design choice from the devs, in an otherwise extraordinarily awesome game.

[Acamality]

You have all the warning in the world. Look at the thing. If you walked in and said "yeah this is safe" then idk what to tell you. From the first prompt when she sits on it you get told it's obviously not good. The thing was never going to actually cure you this early in the story, anyway. I let her use it because she so desperately wanted it.

Besides, like someone already said two of the stats you can lose don't even matter on Lae'zel, and a singular +1 to constitution is not even close to putting her in the trashcan. If after that loss, you find her unusable, then her stats aren't the problem. Stats are not, and have never been the be-all end-all of strength in DnD, and they aren't in the game either. 14 constitution and decent armour will do her perfectly fine. Her INT and WIS were never good anyway.
