Summary
Are you responsible for a crime you can't remember committing?
Enter the mind of a guilt-ridden former assassin as his quest for redemption is upended by a Mindflayer plot and a Sharran cleric. Join 'Pavel the Poet', the affable rogue as he struggles through Baldur's Gate 3!
This is a tale of overthinking moral quandaries, teamwork through gritted teeth, and the dangers of misplaced faith. At its core is the ever-evolving love story between a woman that yearns to remember, and a man desperate to forget. Can love redeem, or does it only blind? Is ignorance bliss? And to quote our favourite skeleton:What is the value of a single mortal life?
(This is a retelling of my first BG3 run from the POV of my poor Tav. Some poor choices and perfectly-timed bad rolls led to a wonderfully tragic story that I needed to put into writing. As it was my first playthrough, I miss content and make mistakes along the way, but that just adds to the angst! Above all, I was so moved by the DJ Shadowheart romance that I wanted to give it a good spotlight and perhaps alternate interpretation.)
TLDR Tav meets the 'I-Can-Fix-Her' character and decides "She can fix me"
