can not give the artifact to the cult?

[Jon Eros]

im on a evil playthrough, so i killed shadowheart for the artifact

showed minthara (in a vision, not sure why vision if i have it in my pocket)

so why cant i give the artifact together with her to the leader, so she doesnt get jailed or killed?

i understand when you pretent to be a evil cultist, but i am actualy trying to be a absolute follower. so why would it not be able to just give the artifact?

I don't know how that specific conversation goes, but as a general rule the artifact itself doesn't want to leave your party.

The Artifact refuses to leave you. Tethered to you, like a persistent dog wanting scratches.

well, its quite simple. the artefact is protecting you. why would you give it away? i get it but... the artefact is protecting you and preventing you from turning, if you gave it away=you die, run ends. keeping it makes the most sense, even if you want to explain it as magical bonding by a certain thing and thus you can't simply give it away

[Jon Eros]

ah ok, the bound to you part, still should let me show it to them, and let me tell them about it being bound to me, but still be loyal to the absolute

[Jon Eros]

even if its just an alternate way to lose the game becouse you get killed for it

[Phoenix]

not sure on the conversation you're having. i've almost always had the option to "show artefact" in a lot of situations that call for it guess never done a true "cultist" run

I agree, it would make for a fun game over.

When I tried to play a dutiful githyanki, I was able to hand over the artifact to my fellow spacefarers. I got a cinematic of the artifact pushing them away and returning to me. That was nice too.

without the artifact your game story could not continue, welcome by fake chooses

Unfortunately you can't join the cult. The only evil you can "join" is your own. Everybody in this game wants that artefact and you can't give it up.

The closest "evil alliance" you can get is siding with Gortash in Act 3 but unfortunately there is not much to it, game will kill him quickly enough by itself if you won't do it.

There is plenty of real choices and consequences in this game. But when it comes to the main plot, you are set on one path (fighting the Absolute), with no real alternatives.
