1I'm excited to use her. Which btw, I started a second playthrough today
Made a halfling bard and plan to use Karlach, Astarian, and Laezel. Level 2, got off the initial ship and that's about it. Playing on tactician difficulty this time.
2I passed some sort of check to warn me that was a trap I think, so I didn't fight the crows.
3I did manage to befriend the inn. On my second attempt, the first time I talked to them ended in a fight that I lost
I honestly don't know how act 2 would go in a version where I fought them and won. They are the main quest folks of act 2.
4That ox is the animal I told you ended up in a fight
I didn't talk to many animals, but that was one of them
