Our abductor isn’t the near dead illithid near Astarion. None of the illithid that you can interact with in act 1 are our captors as far as i can tell. I think this because i once picked up all the illithid bodies and sent them to camp to see if the Dror Ragzlin illithid still accuses you. It does.
The Narrator says that mind flayer near Ragzlin isn’t your captor.
This mind flayer’s build is smaller, its garb plainer - a fearsome creature even in death, but not the one that tormented you.
Then the first time Ragzlin asks who killed it it shows you this memory:
You see a clawed hand open a holding pod - devoid of flesh, only darkness.
Then Dror asks a second time and the mind flayer responds with this memory:
You see a clawed hand open the holding pod. The murk clears to reveal a face. Yours.
So we don’t have clawed hands first off. And we never opened a holding pod except Shadowheart’s. So is the illithid making it up? Did Orin (or another doppleganger) pretend to be us? Those are my two guesses at what’s happening.
DS9 had Jadzia kiss another trill whose host happened to be a woman. TOS had the first televised interracial kiss. ENT had a pregnant Trip Tucker. Trek has always been woke.
Mariner is definitely down for anything. She’s dating the andorian Jennifer in a few episodes and she also went on a date with Steve Levy the conspiracy guy. She also dated an Anabaj to annoy her mom so…yeah.
She even says this in one episode (the Tom Paris one):
“Oh I’m always dating bad boys, bad girls, bad gender non-binary babes, ruthless alien masterminds, and bad Bynars.”
I’m 100+ hours into an honor run and I’ve finally made a decision I apparently can’t live with. I was offered a gift at the end of act 2, and while it was totally out of character for me to accept it, my curiosity got the better of me. I never made it this far before and I wanted to see what would happen. Now I hardly even...
The worm gives you persuasion and intimidation expertise for a reason.
I tried to make them all eat it in my honor run. Laezel it didn’t work with since she has two checks but everyone else was fine since they put up minimal arguments against using it. Except Astarion of course, he used it as quick as I did.
All these shots are from the episode Rules of Engagement, where Worf blows up the cloaked vessel that had klingon bodies aboard. The klingons insisted they were alive before Worf fired but an investigation shows they weren’t.
