I'm pretty sure every Origin/companion romance pairing is possible and has its own unique dialogue.

Ahaha, I rolled a natural 20 for the DC99 dominate brain thing. Probably didn't need it but it made it exceedingly simple to win the final boss fight. And with that, I guess I'm done until the definitive edition comes out.

Let Volo do the operation, if you don't mind losing out on a merchant in your camp until he returns in Act 3. I guess technically that's a spoiler, but I feel like people should know they can get a really good bonus if they go ahead with it

The Honour playthrough is going well so far, except for when I accidentally aggroed the Owlbear and had to hot foot it out of there. The paladins of Tyr were dangerous, but luckily Wyvern toxin ended up killing the main guy immediately after he one shot two party members and from there it was just mopping up.

Does anyone know (Zhentarim spoilers) if not dealing with them in act 1 means a much different fight with the guild in act 3? Because the Zhent got clowned hard in my last run, not a single guild ally died or even dropped to half damage and the Zhent felt extremely weak, outclassed by pretty much all the guild folk. I imagine if the big group from Act 1 gets to go to BG, it becomes a much more even fight?

I didn't do anything at all to the Zhent in act 1 (left them all alive) and the guild fight was just as underwhelming as you describe. (Normal difficulty)

Did they change that DC99 to be more than just some health off the final boss?

Options are too distinct, since FO4 bethesda dialog options are like

1. Yes
2. No (Yes)
3. Tell me more (Yes)
4. Sarcastic option (Yes)

It's the same. Just that in Honor Mode, it's a bit trickier to push as much DPS so having a big chunk knocked off already meant it no longer was a worry.

It was just a surprise that my first roll for the DC99 (I did have advantage) got me the natural 20 in a game full of natural 1's and at least a couple of critical fails with advantage (i.e., rolled double 1's).

In Act 1 and 2, I "did everything" (as in talked most of the bosses to death for Act 2) but I only did Djinni Jungle, Sorcerous Sundries, House of Grief, Cazador, and House of Hope in Act 3 before taking out Orin and then allying with Gortash.

I wanted the power but I didn't want to end my run by making a mistake so I reduced risk as much possible.
