Act II - No Companions - Raided Grove

- Just before Act II.

- NOT durge

- Did not interact with any companion (although I had to kill Shadowheart for the artifact)

- Raided the grove and started Minthara Romance

- Got the Thay book and gem (unused)

- Ignored Barcus (meaning he's dead)

- Rescued Florrick

- Got Volo's Ersatz Eye

- used enough times, now simply

Still available:

- Zentharim Cargo quest (didn't meet either Rugan, Flind, or Zarys)

- Auntie Ethel (didn't start the encounter with Mayrina's brothers)

- Scratch still recruitable

- Monastery and Creche

- Underdark (unsure of the effects on Grymforge/Nere)

PSA: I used cheats to get this done, and assume you'll at least be using the Script Extender to get the items you want. This save is meant to allow discovery of the story after Act I free of the Origin companions. Character is default high elf body 2 with Friends cantrip.
