I recommended this the other day, but for act 3 I highly recommend RP'ing a bit and only focusing on what your character/ party would focus on, and save the rest for another playthrough. There's just so much going on that it feels like more completing a checklist than playing an RPG, at one point I'm asking myself "why would anyone in this party be interested in doing this when XYZ is happening?" so I just decided not to do it on that playthrough.
Good advice. I probably need to adjust my mindset, as a general rule I don't replay games as I find it boring... but this one has so much replayability. Instead of my usual "do all sidequests, complete, uninstall" maybe I should just finish the game proper, then start a new run through and continue exploring.
From everything I heard about Karlach, I massively fucked up by... how do I say without spoilers... decidedly not including her in my party. I done goofed.
Yeah, I'm the same way as you in most games, I'll do as much as possible in one playthrough and then ignore it for a while until I decide to play again and make different decisions.
This game you simply cannot play it that way. Too much story is locked behind decisions and there's huge parts of the game you'll never see if you only play it once, even if you try to do everything you can. I'm doing a Dark Urge playthrough right now and making most of the decisions I wouldn't make in a "normal" playthrough and it's a bunch of fun. Also doing this one on tactician difficulty which makes things a bit spicier.
