Act 3: Imprisoned
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.

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

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.

I saved those guys and they didn't help me at all. Figures.

I haven't been imprisoned there, but I was saving another prisoner. The guards were only "temporarily hostile", I didn't attack them, just focused on escaping, and nobody was hostile when I exited the prison.

Did you let the girl Gnome run away with the Runpowder barrel in the Grymforge + freed the gnomes from Moonrise Tower in act 2?

Normally during that encounter if you accept to be sent to prison, the gnomes will intervene and permanently blind the Steel Watcher.

Damn. Maybe the GOG version isn't patched completely yet, because I did their quest in Grimforge, and I was still sent to prison.

I'll concede that I do not remember either of those things. Guess I missed them.

Imagine doing a bunch of evil ♥♥♥♥ through the entire game then getting mad when you get thrown in jail lmao.
I had the same issue and did nothing evil, I'm a vengeance paladin, I just killed the goblins who were planning to take out the grove and killed the cultists in moonrise who were planning to turn the entire world into undead.

Apparently that's considered bad actions that get you thrown in jail.

I went to arrest willingly for the achievement. I found no way out of the cell except to break the door down. The guards came, accused me of vandalism and I confessed on the spot. They drew their weapons and tried to kill my group hearing that. Unsurprised, I killed them, and found out when going out, that I am fine. Instead of another arrest or fight I got an audience with Gortash. I agreed to his deal, and me and the guards were friends again.

I don't know if they were aggro without the deal, but I guess not. Anyway, there is at least one way out without consequences. In the rest of the adventure I never fought one of the constructs or visited their factory. So it is also possible to leave them completely alone.

I've done all the good guy ♥♥♥♥, oh skilled internet gamer
Yeah that's a lie lmao. Even in a co op neutral game occasionally stealing or killing people we got in with no issues. Just admit you keep killing and stealing.

No I'm not convinced, feel like you're projecting a lot here. Look I don't care what you did in your playthrough bro..

Destory the big purple eyes before they see you...

You can enter the city without crossing the checkpoint... It's an easy jump in the cliffs
