Act 2 spoilers ahead!
Isobel has dialogue talking about Ketheric Thorm, and showing you a painting of her parents that's normally only accessible if you never met her before the fight with Marcus. This can only happen if Marcus is available and walking around Last Light Inn before you talk to Isobel, which only happens in evil playthroughs, where he defends you instead of Mol. And it also requires you to attack Marcus before speaking to Isobel, meaning you'll miss out on the original conversation with her instead, to get the dialogue where she talks about her parents.
And that's kind of a shame! So, this mod changes that, and adds that part of the conversation to the scene after you defeat Marcus, even if you already met her before the fight.
You can see what the scene looks like in this demo!
