📋 About This Mod
It took a whole 1,5 month to be made but allow me to present you a whole new mod with saving Gortash! It's not perfect and there WILL be major updates, but core base is made, so I'm sharing it.
You are soon to witness the people of Baldur's Gate granting me complete power over them. All out of fear of the Absolute.
What it adds:
-
[]An option to let Gortash survive, lol. It's now avaible for durges only since I knew I won't handle Tav's path Durges know Gortash well enough to notice him being suicidal. You will need to pass wisdom check (it's really small, added more for immersion than for real check, lol) and persuade/intimidate him into not intervening. After that Gortash will remain in cutscene and you won't find his corpse on Astral Plane because he's alive[/]
[]Restore option to mention your alliance in dialogue with Emperor right after Brain. But since this dialogue is A MESS camera on his response will look somewhere into stones until I'll find a way to fix it and not crash toolkit in proccess. [/]
[]Next time you will see him in Gather Your Allies hall. IMPORTANT - for him to participate you will need at least one ally or otherwise Withers will just judge you for not having friends. I wasn't able to edit journal yet, so find someone to join you before final(( [/]
[]He will grant you spell stolen from gondians to summon Steel Watchers. This is fully working ability, and I will make it unique for Gortash in next updates, when I will understand how to do so.[/]
[]If you'll destroy the Brain, in epilogue you will recieve letter from Gortash (text in it will differ, depending if you destroyed foundry. If you did, he will be very petty. If you didn't letter will imply you spend this half-year together. Plus I indulged my headcanons and letter takes as default Wyll being in your party. You DON'T NEED Wyll for letters to work, don't worry)[/]
[]But if you conquered the Brain, you will be able to choose a whole new ending with Gortash. It's a whole new cutscene, fully voiced (just like the rest of mod. Click on Gortash in that hall and he will speak!) and I've tried my best with it[/]
Note - you will need save before first interaction with brain in morphic pool. If Gortash is already dead, mod won't work obviously.
