any guides from neoseeker or elsewhere on the changes in 2.5?

[Tsurumi]

speciffically who can be redeemed and how? do we have to be a gold dragon? what other changes are there and (full spoilers) how does it all work?

[Tsurumi]

was hoping after half a month someone would have deleved into everything and had provided all the answers

[Tsurumi]

can we at least confirm the two redeemed characters, i heard they arent camilla and wendaug, if so, thats bs

[Schlumpsha]

Not companions, only NPC's: Hulrun and Nurah, respectively. Making the NPC's not even evil to begin with. And the point of redeeming them kinda moot imho.

Either way, that choice is exclusively open to the Gold Dragon. No one else.

Genuinely don't understand this obsession with redeeming characters. Is it a Christianity thing?

I think it's more a waifu thing.

Hulrun is indeed peak Waifu

As a btw I’m glad they chose Hulrun and Nurah while avoiding the “waifus.” “I can fix her” is actually rather insidious in many ways. It basically just exploits “tend and befriend” and is frequently not even concerned with actually resolving anything - The point is eliciting “tend and befriend” for codependence. Not actually solving any real concern.

Addendum: This is also likely far more common than many would like to admit.

It's kind of refreshing to have jerks and monsters you can't turn around and fix. Sometimes a psychopath's just a psychopath who doesn't want to change.

I've got no vested interest in redemption stories. But not having the opposite choice for the Corrupted Gold Dragon makes for another slight against that side path.

Corrupting is always more fun than redeeming, no contest. A valuable lesson Owlcat learned in Rogue Trader's heretical path. That one was entertaining.
