    It sucks how pretty much every D&D game post Baldur’s Gate 1 had an annoying mandatory detour/speed bump into the Underdark for more dae le sexy sex us-foreign-policy elves and their oh so DAE LE EPIC LOVECRAFT AMIRITE mind flayer associates.

    I wanted Icewind Dale to be more druidy and rangery and forests and snow and that sort of vibe, but nope, into the Underdark we go. Again. debord-tired

      The speedrun Strat of BG3 completely skips the underdark, btw.

      There’s 2 methods in to act 2, above ground or underground, above ground is a lot quicker.

      On the other hand, you can kill slave owners in the UD. Like a whole town of slave owners.
