Z'rell Ogre Execution Restored

Z’rell Ogre Fix – Restore the Missing Execution Scene (Act 2)

📖 What this mod does

This small fix restores the intended Moonrise Towers cutscene where Z’rell executes her ogre bodyguard during her briefing.

In some scenarios, the ogre does not appear in the cinematic, causing the scene to play an alternate “ogre-less” version that I REALLY don't like. At all. Z'rell is being so icky. With this mod, the ogre reliably appears at Z’rell’s side — and dies as she was always meant to. RIP Glourik.

Originally, I attributed this behaviour to the deployment of Patch 8 as my little problem appeared at that time - but correlation, causation, etc. By now I am nearly certain that this may be caused by specific choices at the windmill in the Blighted Village - as that was when I experienced this the first time. So it's possible that the scene plays in its ogre-less version if Fezzerk was missing from the audience hall for some reason (e.g. death, or perhaps not encountering him at all - skipping the windmill for RP reasons perhaps). I haven't done any extensive testing as to which scenarios may or may not break the scene, but since the mod doesn't seem to break anything and fixes the scene if it requires fixing, the causes don't really matter as much.

• []✅ Ogre spawns properly in the cinematic[/]

  []✅ Correct dialogue branch plays (Z’rell’s lines reference killing with a thought - and don't default to all that ogre-less pain-pleasure-mind-poking anymore)[/]

  []✅ Execution animation and death sequence restored[/]

  []✅ And our favourite Charlatan gets his "Know Thy Clientele" inspiration point[/]
