📋 About This Mod
❓ The Problem
If you sided with the tieflings in Act 1, you’ve probably run into this baffling moment.
In Act 2, you finally reach a safe haven. At the entrance, Jaheira confronts you, binding you in vines and demanding answers. Someone must step forward to vouch for you — and Mol has your back, recalling your heroics earlier. And then the story moves on.
But not long after, during a crucial conversation with the priestess of Selûne, you find yourself facing someone menacing named Marcus. The priestess is furious, devastated by his betrayal… while you, the player, are left staring at the screen thinking:
“Marcus? Who the hell is Marcus?”
For many players, this is their very first encounter with him — an unknown face dropped into the middle of a dramatic twist. The emotional impact is lost, replaced with confusion.
This mod fixes that broken beat.
