Act 3: Imprisoned

[pyremind]

SO, I walked up to a robot lady who it turns out knew my whole entire backstory and threw me in prison (writers, kind of lame ngl) - now I'm in prison. There are dickish guards all over the place. If I kill all of them - which I am wont to do - will I now have to run from every guard everywhere in Baldur's gate. After this episode I've lost a bit of my faith in the design side of this game.

I'll also add that because I became a Half-Illithid by losing a dice roll, I now have stupid face makeup that looks stupid.

You were forced to use the special tadpole? That sucks.

As for the OP question, you can sneak around the back. It's not a huge deal if you get imprisoned (story-wise), but I reloaded to avoid it because I didn't want to sort through everyone's items after breaking out.

robot lady? you mean the steel watchers?

and it's not gimmick, they litterally have the same ilithid parasites and use your own detect thoughts against you.

you shouldn't attack the steel watch untill you made it to the factory area near the docks and follow the questline to weaken gortash.

If only you had some kind of allies and friends from previous acts, instead of probably slaughtering them. Then maybe you would not end up in prison.

Imagine doing a bunch of evil ♥♥♥♥ through the entire game then getting mad when you get thrown in jail lmao.

I remember having an option to step on it at one point, but it seemed like the game really wanted me to use the damn thing. I did some wisdom check to avoid it but lost and the Squid made me just put it into my brain. I hate how it makes my char look though.

LMAO.

I reloaded and did the fight for exactly this reason aswell.

I couldn't be bothered to redo the entire inventory load balancing for everyone so i just defeated them.

Who do you refer to? I spared everyone up to that point, and I was sent to prison too.

Maybe you're supposed to be arrested in order to rescue a certain someone from the cell across from yours and a bit to the right...

Gnomes from Grymforge supposed to get you out of this whole encounter. You are not supposed to get into prison if you done their quest lines.

Can someone answer my question though? Can I just kill these guards and not become persona non grata in the city?

That's not what happens at all. The steel watch are evil.

[Zackerie]

Yes, if you're talking about the steel watcher and flaming fists at the bridge / checkpoint before you enter wyrmrock fortress.
