Last chance to turn back! There will be spoilers for most of Balder's Gate III in here. I'll keep it to a minimum. Below are some of the major decisions I made in this playthrough.

Act One
Emerald Grove
- Recruited all major companions (Shadowheart, Lae'zel, Astarion, Gale, Withers, Wyll, Scratch)
- Sympathized with tiefling refugees.
- Allowed Astarion to bite him. Defended his presence when other party members got weirded out.
- Had run-in with Auntie Ethel. No deal, killed her. Saved Mayrina, did not revive her husband.
- Investigated Kagha, exposed connection to Shadow Druids. Killed Kagha in the ensuing fight.
- Helped to find artifacts for Gale.
- Earned Loviatar's blessing from Abdirak; Verity is a follower of Ilmater so that was fun.
- Rescued owlbear cub and Volo.
- Rescued Halsin, slaughtered all goblins and leaders.
- Channeled the Weave with Gale; thought it was a wonderful night.
- Spent the night with alone after the celebration, despite offers from Lae'zel and Astarion and possible interest from Gale.

Underdark
- Cleared out the Duegars by the lake.
- Set dark gnomes free.
- Turned the mercenaries against Nere in Grymforge; delivered Nere's head to myconids.
- Allowed Omeluum to attempt to understand tadpole.
- Explored Selunite Temple and Arcane Tower.
- Stole Runepowder barrel from Philomeen; ended up killing her. Something is off about the Ironhands.

Githyanki Creche
- Let Lae'zel attempt the cure. Watched for one round, until other companions got concerned. Urged her to break out.
- Defeated Inquisitor Ch’r’ai W’wargaz.
- Did not kill guardian, pissed off Vlaakith.
- Decided to take Underdark route to Moonrise Tower.

Act 2
Shadowlands
- Helped He-Who-Was (then killed him when he realized what he was trying to do).
- Fought Karniss and the goblins in the Harper ambush.
- Helped Arabella find her parents.
- Told Araj to fuck off when she asked Astarion to bite her.
- Killed Gerringothe.
- Convinced Malus's nurses to stab each other; convinced Malus to kill himself.
- Fought Thisobald and killed him.
- Saved tiefling and gnome prisoners from Moonrise Towers.
- Reunited Oliver and Thaniel.
- If romancing Gale, it became official in the early part of the Shadowlands.
- Was appalled by what Mystra was asking Gale to do - which is pretty impressive considering his own god is a martyr.

The Gauntlet
- Completed Gunatlet of Shar.
- Fought Yurgir.
- Shadowheart spared Nightsong.

Moonrise Tower and the Colony
- Recruited Jaheria and headed into the mind flayer colony with her.
- Rescued Zevlor and Mizora.
- Fought and beat Ketheric and ended the Shadow Curse.
- Refused to let Gale go nuclear.
- Defeated the avatar of Myrkul.

Act 3
Rivington and Wyrm's Rock
- Helped the Emperor subdue Prince Orpheus, but really didn't feel good about it.
- Kept silent during Vlaakith confrontation; Lae'zel broke from her for good.
- Solved Temple murder.
- Collected Dribbles.
- Decimated Stone Lord's crew and helped the Guild.
- Threatened the abusive dog trainer when she demanded Scratch back, intimidated her into leaving the kennels.
- Told Gortash he didn't trust him but didn't outright refuse an alliance.
- Turned down Raphael's deal; is not intending to reconsider.
- Got increasingly annoyed with/resistant to the Emperor.
- Intervened after Astarion dragged Petras into the sun for information.
- Rescued Florick.
- If romancing Halsin, begins that in Act 3; does not do it with the bear. Verity is either a virgin or has very little experience by the time he's with Halsin and he's not ready for the bear.

Lower City
- Killed Lorroakan with Dame Aylin. Gale seemed really enthusiastic about exploring the tower so off they went; Gale and Astarion looted everything.
- Gave Gale the Annals of Karsus; gave Astarion The Tharchiate Codex; broke the curse on Astarion.
- Got really uncomfortable when Gale got so hyped about the Crown, worried about him (especially if romanced).
- Broke into the House of Hope; stole the Orphic Hammer and Mol's contract; killed Harleep; freed Hope.
- Made nice with the Guild, they seem like the lesser evil??
- Entered the Temple of Bhaal; killed Sarevok and the tribunal.
- Defeated Orin with prejudice.
- Fucked up Cazador. Astarion chose not to ascend; spawn spared.
- Rescued/recruited Minsc.
- Encouraged Wyll to break pact with Mizora.
- Rescued everyone from the Iron Throne; told Gortash to fuck off.
- Saved the Gondians, disabled the Foundry. Barcus Wroot takes over Ironhands.
- Killed Gortash; promised Karlach he'd be with her at the end.

End Game Conditions
- Refused to side with the Emperor and is so angry when he just flips and joins the Netherbrain.
- Orpheus became a mind flayer (in another playthrough, Verity sacrificed himself).
- Fought the Netherbrain with Lae'zel, Astarion, and Gale.
- Verity got killing blow on the Emperor.
- Lae'zel got finishing hit on Netherbrain.
- Gave Orpheus an honorable death (if he is a mindflayer).
- Encouraged Lae'zel to make her own decisions; she left to free the githyanki.
- Wyll convinced Karlach to go to Avernus with him.
- Gale decides to give the crown to Mystra; Verity is deeply relieved.
- Whether romancing Gale or Halsin, he stays with them.
- Owlbear joins the family.

I welcome positive, neutral, and negative, but here are some details from my playthrough. We can change anything you want depending on what kind of scene we're going for. I'm putting up Gale and Halsin first since they are Verity's romanced companion in my playthroughs. I'd love to try him with Karlach too!

Gale: Verity didn't hesitate to help Gale, trusting him when he said he needed magical artifacts and hoping Gale would eventually tell him why; really hated that Mystra told him to blow up the Netherbrain; gave him the Book of Karasus; generally accepting/non-judgmental about his past; more resistant in some of Gale's "I could be a god" moments and frequently tried to steer him away from that, telling Gale (especially if romanced) that he likes him as the man that he is, not the god that he could be; encouraged him to give the crown to Mystra. **Gale was my original romance aim for Verity, but Verity is just oblivious when people are flirting with him and so it seems appropriate that he ended up in a friendship with Gale on the first time through. I'm very open to exploring romance or gen relationships.

Halsin: Rescued him from the goblin keep; brought him to help with Thaniel; played hide and seek with Thaniel; delighted by the things Halsin reveals in conversation, accidentally flirted at the tiefling party. **In original playthrough, after failing to pick up a relationship with Gale, Verity was very charmed by Halsin and shyly but enthusiastically entered into a romance with the druid. He likes that Halsin is so gentle but also has a strong, fierce sense of right and wrong.

Lae'zel: Made the tieflings leave and let her take the lead in questioning Zorru and didn't interfere, though he wasn't thrilled; gave her the Orpheus slates to read; let her take the lead with the Creche; agreed to free Orpheus; remained silent during the Vlaakith confrontation; generally supported Lae'zel branching out on her own for some more self-determination, but also respected her desire to pursue freedom for her people.

Shadowheart: Rescued her on nautaloid ship; ignored the Artifact; didn't care about her religion but did get really annoyed with the constant "ugh, Selune" dialogue; allowed her privacy, but was also annoyed that she was kind of a jerk about insisting on wanting details without giving any about herself; intervened when she and Lae'zel fight and told Shadowheart to back down, more or less taking Lae'zel's side but also wanting to make everyone work together; allowed her to take the lead during Gauntlet of Shar; let her choose what to do regarding Nightsong; helped her infiltrate the House of Grief; quietly and sadly explained what it was her parents were asking of her.

Astarion: Helped him when they first met; failed his perception check and ended up tackled to the ground; headbutted Astarion in the face to get free; kept Astarion from killing him while feeding; supported him in front of other companions; allowed him to feed on him at night - Verity's got a lot of compassion and if it helps Astarion, he's willing to do it; gave him the Necromancy of Thay; avoided Gandrel; not judgmental of Astarion's history and inclinations; tried to kindle a friendship but did not want a sexual relationship; accepted Raphael's deal to get information for Astarion about his scars; encouraged Astarion to seek revenge for the Gur; quietly argued that the spawn shouldn't have to die - Astarion got a chance, why shouldn't they?

Wyll: Admired Wyll's sense heroism, but was a little overwhelmed by how big the Blade of Frontiers personality is - he appreciated the desire to do good deeds and help people, but he's... quieter about it than Wyll is; defended Karlach against his threats and told him to stand down; helped break his deal; helped save his father. Turned down his romance (was obvious to Wyll's interest until the dance scene).

Karlach: Helped her kill the fake paladins; he got super flustered when she hit on him, but they remain friends; repaired her heart with Dammon twice; gave her a big hug; brought her to the Gortash coronation and was cold toward Gortash; promised Karlach they'd take care of him later; encouraged Karlach to meet with her friends in the Lower City, Fitz seems really great. Verity respected her desire to die on her own terms and promised to stay with her and comfort her at the end. Doesn't try to talk her out of going to Avernus with Wyll, telling her that it's her life and her choice. But he's quietly happy that she chooses hope.

Jaheira: Broke out of the vines and gained her trust by not attacking; was generally honest with her but was suspicious after correctly identifying the drugged wine - he doesn't drink it; followed her advice during the assault in the basement of Danthelon's; suggested the new Harper recruit might still have use as a Harper; brought her to the Guild and saved Minsc at her behest; generally positive after the Shadowlands, he likes her sense of humor.

Minsc: Weird guy, weirder hamster, but Verity likes how open and straightforward he is. It's a relief, actually. He likes Lae'zel and Karlach for the same reason.

Minthara: Killed her, but I'm game to explore the CR possible here.

Regardless of other world state options, Verity leans more lawful neutral in the sense that he follows the codes and tenants of his order, but will always follow those over any local law; he just tries to do what he feels is right. He has a pretty firm sense of justice.

Other canon relationships:

Raphael: Not amused by his cute rhymes; does not trust Raphael as far as he can throw him, but remains somewhat polite because devils; accepted the deal to get information for Astarion; broke into House of Hope; killed Raphael's incubus.

Ketheric: Had sympathy for Kethric and genuinely wanted him to repent; when it was clear he wouldn't, Verity was all in to kill him if it meant ending the curse.

Gortash: Hates this guy; cold and sharp with Gortash and avoids dealing with him again until he's ready to kill him with Karlach; he has some sympathy for what Gortash went through, but cannot abide everything he's done since. He used his power to hurt people.

Orin: Really hates her. She kidnapped Lae'zel and Verity rescued her as quickly as he could.

Isobel Thorm: Verity really likes Isobel, though he wishes he'd known more about Isobel's connection to Ketheric before getting into it; he is happy to invite her to join the camp to get to know her better.

Dame Aylin: Gosh, he thinks she's great. A little intense, but her approach (and her general mannerisms) make him smile. He definitely blushed and shyly looked away when she got all romantic with Isobel during the reunion, but he's very happy for them.

Rolan: Verity didn't understand why Rolan hated him so much and he tried to be polite, not wanting to make it worse; he really didn't like that Lorrokan was beating him; became allies after that fight and was happy to see Cal and Lia again.

Other Options: I think I covered everything, but if I missed something feel free to ask!

Assumed CR: Open to it! Let's talk.

Cross-Canon: I welcome cross-canon interactions and AUs! Just hit me up and we'll work it out.
