DId they really change entire conversations if your a Gith?

[Rain]

I am playing Githyanki for the first time through Act 1 and just got to the Grove and a lot of these conversations are really different. The outcome is somewhat the same...usually, but I am seeing new dialogue scenes entirely and I have over 1k hours playing this game.

Is it like this throughout the entirety of the game?

The three character tags regarding your home (Baldur's Gate, Underdark, and Gith) can cause different conversations. Your race choice can also cause different conversations. It doesn't affect every conversation, but it is noticeable, at least in Acts 1 and 3. It probably makes a difference in Act 2 as well, but I skip a lot of the optional Act 2 stuff.

[Rez Elwin]

I know playing a Drow has a ton of interactions in Act one. And there are different interactions based on of your Lolth-Sworn or Seldarine.

[Chaosolous]

Yeah, the game got a lot of praise for a reason.

I'm actually having an easier time playing an evil character than playing a gith. I don't know how to tow that line of dominance/survival of the fittest mentality without letting the grove perish etc.

No. Once you get to Act 2, the differences all but disappear, and in Act 3 you have a reaction or two at most, but otherwise nobody cares and you act as a generic adventurer.

Drow and gith tags have a lot more unique dialogue choices too than any other race.

[Yextiny]

Different races, classes, and origin characters all have unique dialogue options and interactions at various points in the game, as far as I'm aware. Romancing Lae'Zel as a Red Dragonborn is almost worth it for those alone.

A lot of gith-special content in Act 1. Not very much in the other acts.

(Same for drow.)

i felt the same way. it felt like this game was perfect in Act 1, but then act 2 and 3 just didnt get the same love. completely baffling. I think they got too ambitious. sad they arent continuing the game.

It is perhaps ironic, that this idea is more true to DnD than there being reactions - your typical DnD party is an absolute freak show of wierd races and stuff. A goblin with grenades, a Minotaur in a tu-tu, a drow with a steampunk sniper rifle, and a sentient tree with a small demon sitting in its branches - yup, just another adventuring party - I hope they fix the rat problem in the sewers.

Bonus points to people who produce artwork of this group, Btw

Depends on the setting and on the group, really.

I miss the more "boring" times, myself, as they were far more grounded. Otherwise it's at odds with itself when some races would at least raise eyebrows but at the same time everyone gets along, despite the fact that, say, dwarves are quite... unlikely to make peace with orcs, or the surface elves with the drow.

Drow in Act 2, amazing.

Hello there Strider boy,
I am here to take your Moonlatern.
Now get walking

But But Mistress!

Dont you talk back to me!
I speak for the Absolute, now get marching!

[Holy Fool Sehrael]

I'd probably try Gith for the small extras alone if they weren't... well, fugly x)

This is why i have done so many playthroughs and different race every time.

To just see all the dialogue :)

I think my favourite thing about playing with a gith TAV is the different interaction with Laezel... I think a Gith Durge would be cool but I have no idea how I could justify or logic that roleplay wise
