Triggering the "kill your lover scene" (act 2 spoilers)
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler I'm on a resist durge run, and I'm wondering if I could still trigger the "kill your lover" scene after how handled the quest for Isobel.
The way I progressed after entering the shadow cursed lands was:
- fought the shadows that ambushed the harper patrol and cursed yonas
- Made my way to last light in, had the cutscene where Jaheira suspects you're a cultist and tries to kill you.
- after getting her trust I talked with her inside the inn, refused to drink the wine.
- I took a long rest before talking to Isobel
- I talked to Isobel immediately after the long rest, then beat Marcus and the winged horrors.
- at the next long rest, I got the quest to kill Isobel from Sceleritas. I told him something like "I'll consider it"
- I then talked to Isobel, told her about the urge, then chose not to kill her in the dialogue.
- the quest still hasn't shown up as me having failed to kill her, even after plenty of long rests.
Can I still get the "kill your lover" scene after how I progressed, or did I lock myself out of it? I should note, I have entered moonrise towers by now, but I did take plenty of long rests before then :::
It's not long-rest timed. You can still kill Isobel at any point while the shadow curse remains, so until you lift the curse, you haven't failed the quest.
That's the thing. I don't want to kill Isobel, I'm trying resist the urge and maintain a good playthrough. I might have been unclear about that, sorry
I know. The scene triggers once you fail the quest, which is once you lift the shadow curse. You haven't gotten the scene because you haven't failed the quest. Be patient.
UPDATE: I got this scene after freeing nightsong, just before the raid on moonrise towers and fight with ketheric
