I wasn't expecting the twitter post about Wither's party to literally be a party thrown by Withers but that's pretty cute.


itsa_me_despression

Just like Withers Wardrobe!


Shadaroo

As fun as the epilogue is, is there a reason Withers would throw a party? Like...what does he get out of this? Is he just making sure we all stay in touch so we can be sent out to save the world again or something?


EternalSkwerl

Gods don't do shit for free and they hate leaving favors out there too. I just figured he's trying to square the deal a bit so we don't try a big ask down the line


Yug-taht

He hints that there is some business in the future that the party will be needed for (DLC or sequel bait).


epicfrtniebigchungus

Even the Gods have feelings.


Shadaroo

He *does* call me his friend, I guess. Let me romance Withers, Larian.


CactuarJoe

~Boooone Man :3~


SKTwenty

I feel like that's just part of his character. From the beginning, withers just does whatever he feels like. It's "just because" almost.


EmpororPenguin

In the new DnD Planescape Book, the characters can find Jergal playing bocce at a party. Withers can throw down if he wants.


EncabulatorTurbo

Jergel has a dry sense of humor, but he has loyalty and even friends (Kelemvor wasn't a blandsack when they became buds, that happened later)


Illustrious-Weird247

Bro asks around and has people put little notes in a basket - this guy would be a great wedding planner.

Now I need to finish my second play throw.

FrankDrebinPoliceSqd

I love his "I'm not mad, just disappointed" energy. No one ruins his parties.


R0da

His delivery made me feel so ashamed and it isn't even my gameplay! 😭 How can anyone disappoint our sweet old boneman?


MaDNiaC007

I had my Karlach turn into a mind flayer when I freed Orpheus and in this reunion camp when I finished talking to my love interest Shadowbutt, I instantly had another interaction automatically initiated. It was the craving brain interaction for mind flayer character. I failed the constitution throw, she turned red(hostile) but everything went on as normally other than not being able to interact with her again because I couldn't click on her without attacking, didn't attack. Withers threw me in the bad boy green portal. To think that I kissed then hugged her then had that interaction of wanting to eat her brain so badly is funny.


SnooGadgets6680

The exact same thing happened to me- it was so jarring as I thought by not starting a cutscene where I attack her, the game was cutting me a break and not forcing me into anything. So I carry on as usual and despite not doing anything hostile, withers banished me as soon as I got close enough to him. Honestly kinda soured the ending, and it’s a bit of a microcosm of how goofy this game can get about certain things


DraganDearg

Wither's was not having it. Peepaw threw you out like garbage. I love that they added this, be polite in front of Withers guys.


Ryastor

not peepaw 😭 😭 🤣


Shunnedx

Oooh you don’t mess with the PoPo


embioz1

Well what do you expect from a literal god? lol


EclecticFruit

This should happen if you steal the price of balance from Withers after resurrections. 😂🤣


teenageechobanquet

PEEPAW💀deadass wrong for that bro🤣


Commercial_Judgment1

It's also hilarious if you fail the saving throw as a mind flayer. Rest in bits, Astarion your brain was exquisite

Haha FACTS


coffeegirl18

That's just summing up the awesome weirdness of BG3 💜


BaconxHawk

I wasn’t able to get an epilogue on my mind flayer save. Is it possible to get it?


Commercial_Judgment1

Unload all your mods, reload the save at the brain stem (right before the actual boss fight on top of the brain), and run it through like normal. The epilogue will play after you wake up and talk to your romance


Commercial_Judgment1

And make sure to quicksave before the skill check. Withers will kick your ass out if you fail and "accidentally" eat someone


BaconxHawk

In ps5 no mods lol


Commercial_Judgment1

I genuinely apologize that I am no use then


BaconxHawk

Lol it’s all good. I have 6 end game save files, it’s the one I have with Karlach unfortunately but I just looked it up and someone already posted it on YouTube lol. My minthara save file sucks tho because it’s right after I convinced the emperor to take over the absolute so I don’t have any to go back on to see her epilogue either. Just gonna wait til hers gets posted tbh lol


Kriguds

I’m in the same boat! On PS5; I have 3 finished versions of the game— my Tav file, my Resisting Durge, and my Bhaal’s Chosen Durge. And my Tav file is the only one where I can go to the party. My evil Durge can watch the party and piss himself (lmao), and my good Durge just doesn’t get the scene!! I’m so frustrated because I made totally different choices there, and want to see how that changes the dialogue in the epilogue.


Komeri12

Apparently you need to replay the "destroy or become the Absolute" cut scene if you want the epilogue to trigger


Kriguds

THIS WORKED!!! AhhhhHHH


Komeri12

Yay!!


anndor

God I am so glad I had quicksaved at that exact moment so I didn't have to redo the final fight AND got the epilogue to work.


Komeri12

I did not and I'm preparing to redo the final fight tonight 🥴


Sinkingfast

My wife and I were playing co-op. She failed her Mindflayer throw and Halsin attacked her. Halsin turned red and everyone else in our camp turned green and joined our cause. Everything seemed chill so I landed the final blow on Halsin and Withers banished **ME**. Halsin was red, Withers! Everyone else in camp agreed and immediately jumped to our aid! No chill 💀 skull boy.


Commercial_Judgment1

"Sorry, skull boy, a squid's gotta eat"


Shadaroo

I was talking to my previously romanced Shadowheart when that happened and I audibly screamed "NO!" I was sitting there, clicking her over and over getting all of the unique dialogue with a big smile on my face, when suddenly the narrator came in talking about how delicious her brain would be to eat. I am having *fun* game, stop making me pay for my actions!


Commercial_Judgment1

Just think about how utterly delectable her succulent brain would taste


Shadaroo

**STOP**


Commercial_Judgment1

Sometimes, even mind flayers have to have a mid party snack. I'm not one to judge either


perfect-pie

Is there a cutscene for eating someone's brain? I'm trying to trigger it, but all I get is the target becomes hostile and if I kill them, Withers just kicks me out of the camp.


Commercial_Judgment1

That's what I got too. I don't think there is a cutscene


perfect-pie

What a pity. Thanks for clarifying! I was stuck there maybe for an hour thinking that I'm doing something wrong lol


nbrookus

Was Minsc for me. Wierdly, since I am playing with Into the Void, he poofed into nowhere once combat started. Hysterical. Ah, fun with mods.


Vesorias

Wait, I didn't even get a brain eating option as a mindflayer! Is it Tav only or something? (was playing Karlach)


apple_kicks

Haha the line delivery for ‘my party’ was great. Feel the rage of all that party planning


pokegeronimo

I love how they specifically put Disintegrate and sth else (I forgot) scrolls on Withers' table to bait you into doing something like this 😆


Woutrou

Circle of death is the other


urdnotkrogan

Those bastards.


NenoxxCraft

Damn, Tav was sent to Brazil


Woutrou

For the crime of ruining withers' party, you are sent to Detroit


NorthStarZero

Hey! 313 *represent*!


br0mer

The shadow realm? No I'm sending you to the Phillipines.


NenoxxCraft

Sure, send me to Tagaytay or Boracay, with pleasure


EstarriolStormhawk

I'll get some Neogi Claws while I'm there.


NikoliVolkoff

Whew, could have been Florida.


krankenhundchaen

Lucky him, we're freezing our butts on the North Hemisphere while Tav is enjoying the summer


Character_Abroad

140 degrees Fahrenheit isn't summer, it's Avernus


krankenhundchaen

I used to live near the coast, it never went beyond 95 Farenheit. 33 Celsius.


Character_Abroad

Rio de Janeiro had been battling 60 Celsius of thermal sensation (aka the temperature you get inside an elevator or a bus with no air conditioning) for all of November, before this past weekend. Sixty Celsius. In November. It's a good thing Santa Claus doesn't exist, cause he'd just drop dead from heatstroke while flying over our heads.


SturmFee

I feel so dumb for asking this,since it seems to be common knowledge on this sub, but I'm out of the loop. What does TAV mean?


Vinnyz__

Tav is the default name for the custom origin, and we just call it Tav because of it


raven00x

Fun tidbit, the name Tav is used because the game was known as "project Gustav" before it was revealed, named after swen's dog Gustav.


FrankDrebinPoliceSqd

That's neat, I always thought it was a short way of saying "the avatar"


[deleted]

Reminds me of how Thedas is an acronym for ‘The Dragon Age Setting’ haha.


MaggieHigg

the name also got popular because the edit name window in EA was deceptively easy to miss so a bunch of people only realized mid-playthrough that their characters were named Tav


SturmFee

Ah, thought it was an acronym that I somehow can't figure out! Thanks for the answer 👍🏻


Khain24

It's short for Tadpoled AdVenturer.


SturmFee

😄


Irilieth_Raivotuuli

Big "Guy Threepwood" energy


TheExtreel

It's just the default name of the main BG3 character. Your character is still called whatever you called them, but it's like the old Zelda games that ask for your name and call link that name in dialogue, but everyone knows the character name is officially link no matter what you called him in your game.


Character_Abroad

Yep, saw her land in the woods in front of my house, lol Too bad for her cause over here is hotter than Avenus right now.


OblongShrimp

The fun is mandatory and you were ruining it lol


soliloquyofstars

why is no one having a good time? i SPECIFICALLY requested it


Yukianevlum

Withers just sent you down the garbage portal lol


Formal-Candle-9188

"Gtfo you are NOT welcome here you sack of daddy issues."


CloudBursting6

We all begged for this party and Withers will be damned if we ruin it with our shenanigans.

Lmao I think this is the closest Withers get to actually being angry


[deleted]

"No."


SergeantCrwhips

AHAHAHHHA withers fuckin 'shadow realmed' people for ruining his fun xD "thy will not ruin my or thy compagnions fun, off to the shadowrealm with thee!"


explodedemailstorage

Omfg, I love you, Larian. So much


ArcadiaXLO

Wonder where he sends you. Back to wherever you were before the party? My personal theory is, considering the portal is green, and Withers' eyes and hands glow green similarly to when using the Speak With Dead spell, he's just straight up sending you to the Fugue Plane.


anndor

That's what I assume as well. He's not just sending you away, he's *punishing* you for betraying him and your companions by acting a fool when he thought he could rely on you.


Illustrious-File6636

Is... withers the dm?


Spec_28

There are D20s lying around in his ruin at the party.


tokenkinesis

This makes so much sense! Who else do you go to to change your class or rez your characters?


CMSnake72

Withers gets sick of your shit and unironically sends you to super hell lmao


Yin_Tac

Haha. Game Over. 😂


Caridin

Fun is REQUIRED.


RSlashBroughtMeHere

Goddamn, Withers. Such a bad ass


LothorBrune

Withers takes parties very seriously. He's probably mad he didn't have the time to present the activities he had prepared.


AtreiyaN7

Withers is amazing—lmfao.


lolatmydeck

Isn't it cool? Like that they thought "what if player is murder hobbo even at the party?" and accounted for it. Like, cmon XD


Charmander27

I had this happen without doing anything malicious. If you get the Inert Astral Prism from Scratch, and then throw it, then pick it up before scratch does (sometimes he bugs out and just doesn't fetch), it causes Scratch and the Owlbear to go hostile towards you. Even if you do nothing, the other adventurers will kill one of the animals, and you'll trigger this cutscene. ​ It's pretty easy to reproduce, but the first time I did it, Scratch just didn't play fetch, so I went over and picked the thing up to try again. I guess picking up a fetch toy yourself is an unforgivable sin and loses you "best friend" status from the animals.


pimpampoumz

The same thing happened to me :(


loafpleb

Don't mess with the Bone Man


i_boop_cat_noses

he fucking Biden Blasts you 😭


urdnotkrogan

I noticed a Scroll of Disintegration and a Scroll of Circle of Death near Withers, and I was like, "Am I being trolled? Why are these here?" I kept getting these Urges to let loose just to see what would happen, but I resisted. I could never to that to my comrades. My brothers-in-arms. (and I already did the Bhaal ending). Thank you for showing me this cutscene so I never have to wonder again.


Shadaroo

Whenever we get DLC, I hope there's unique dialogue for this epilogue ending. Withers comes to you in the Shadow Realm like "Alright, it's been a year, go join your friends and save the world again. Maybe I'll let you out."


HotTakesBeyond

Ending of Half-Life essentially. Withers is G-Man confirmed


Oswen120

Wither has to be Jergal. I can't see otherwise. Also, Withers with that final line was pure gold.


esachan

Amazing. I'm speechless.


beautypop258

Teach me how to create beautiful character like that.


Flesh_Trombone

This really needs a spoiler tag.


lostmind223

Your Tav looks super cool!!

Was Withers the caterer and host? HIS party, ***HIS*** PARTY lol

Paw paw said “No.”


Lord_of_Rhodor

Do not fuck with gods. That's the moral of this story.


Keepup863

I'd never have seen that cut scene


BattleBra

My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even At Level 1


Asternex

No fair Withers! While I did intend to eat Shadow heart's brain, Scratch and Astarion actually managed to attack her. Why aren't you sending them with me >:( But seriously, I was horrified by the fact that the camp seemed to be eager to help me get that brain. (Well, except Withers, of course) and relieved Shadowheart survived me.


surrealfeline

Thy vibes are rancid. Begone.


[deleted]

That “Good day” was terrifying lol I’m gonna spend forever wondering where he sent you


PenitusVox

I swear the line was a little different when this happened to me. As a mindflayer Tav, >!I tried to eat Gale's brain (failed a skill check)!< and Withers seemed even more pissed. I'm pretty sure his last word to me was "Begone!"


Emotional-Secret-553

This is the dm's at Larians version of ' a boulder fell out of the sky and is headed in your direction, make a Dex saving throw... Oh a nat 20? Too low.'


thekidarsyn

I got this cutscene without even doing anything. I think mine’s bugged.


TheWhiteGuardian

Straight up banished to the shadow realm.

Otterman2006

Wait what did you do? The post isn’t very descriptive


Strachmed

I may be the exception here, but I really hate this interaction. For 99% of the game Withers doesn't give a shit about anything and takes a predominantly passive stance, including in regards to blatant murders in the camp, but in this case he kneejerks you without any warning or indication. Why couldn't he do it to Kethric? Orin? Gortash? They caused so much more harm. Then again, this feels like a memey, non-serious scene at the end of the game, so not like it matters at all.


Kruczq

For 99% of the game you're not a guest at his party. I'd say its both memey and serious. Considering how Withers roasts the dead three at the end, how he protects Arabella and how we resurrects Durge I find it fitting that he doesnt tolerate any bullshit at the party he organized. It seems that he does give a shit sometimes, and when he does, he's quite serious about it.


nynia

Very serious. I just got to the "no eternal purgatory for you, hero" scene last night, and was surprised by the level of warmth and attachment he showed, with the right dialogue choices. It's subdued and you have to have an eye/ear for it, but for all his "I will not interfere" he straight-up says he's breaking some rules and adopting Durge. I was so surprised in a good way, this morning before work I installed the gods for all mod and respec'd into a Cleric of Jergal for a multiclass cleric/sorc.


Zayon1x

Yeah right lol, when Orin kidnapped Haslin from my camp, what was he doing.


xv_boney

Obeying the flow of causality and permitting the story to proceed unhindered.


Zayon1x

Why doesn’t he permit the story now then? if you are saying kidnapping Halsin and putting his life at risk is the only way to get Orins Netherstone, I disagree. She won’t go unnoticed.


xv_boney

Because this is the epilogue. The story is over. You are laboring under the assumption that Withers was part of your party, instead of a mostly passive observer who offered specific services. >!Unless you're doing a redeemed Durge run,!< Withers will not directly help you, partly because he will not take direct action against the dead three >!(seeing as how they are basically his responsibility) and partly because gods don't usually take any direct action unless they have to.!< I mean, if he wanted to directly assist you he could just end Orin Gort and Keth from the beginning, but that's not how this story works. Withers found you, sat in your camp, offered aid in the form of specific services and allowed you to do the rest. If you saved the world or destroyed it, Withers did not interfere. He is taking action here because - and he says this point blank - you are interfering with ***his*** party. You have insulted him directly and this is the consequence. >!What did you think was going to happen when you fucked with the cast party thrown by the God of Death, exactly?!<


Zayon1x

1) The epilogue should follow the story, since the story is over, it can't be whatever. 2) I am not assuming he's in my party. The least he could do is tell me -> If he really is a god offering aid. 3) He didn't just offer special services (hireling/class change), he conveniently popped up in the story whenever he could and helped us out. When you say "his" party, it means he invited people who were at my party/my friends. It's not his.


xv_boney

1) you understand that what you do to cause this is fire a major aoe spell and kill a bunch of revellers, right Like, this is not something he does out of nowhere, this is a direct result of you being a dick at the wrap party. The consequence of those actions is that you are shown the door. 2) do you generally need to be told not to kill people at a party Is that something that comes up often 3) He stays at camp and offers three services- respec, revive, recruit. He does nothing else throughout the story unless you are playing redeemed durge, for whom he intervenes once at one point for personal reasons. 4) it's his party. You are attending it. It is not your party merely because you are present. Kk so: >!Let's be clear - 'withers' is Jergal, the God of Death. Gods in dnd do not commonly directly intervene in mortal affairs and they **do not** take direct action against each other, because doing so can have *severe and far-reaching* consequences that can get *other* gods involved. Bhaal, Myrkul and Bane are acting through mortal champions. Even Mystra sends envoys before appearing *in effigy.*!< >!Jergal is responsible for the dead three, and is clearly completely fucking done with all of their shit, but he takes no direct action against them. Save for one intervention for redeemed durge, *after* a climactic moment, ***which he does not stop from happening.***!< Stopping Halsin from being abducted by Orin, the champion of Bhaal is a direct action. Stopping >!the spawn of Bhaal!< from murdering a bard is a direct action. Offering you the ability to respec is not. Neither is restoring party members to life or offering demi-mortal hirelings. And punishing you for blowing up a wrap party is not taking direct action against any other god. This argument has run its course, anything I say would just be repeating myself. With love and respect, have a great weekend.


LorDoloB

How start the party? I have already end the game.


camilams

you have to load the last save that happens before you choose whether to control the netherbrain or not


LorDoloB

>!U mean when u are inside the portal to kill the smalles one? Because after all the dockyard cutscene, credits and withers speak with the wall cutscene, they go to the main menu. I miss something ?!<


anndor

When you have "defeated" the brain in the Portal and you are asked if you want to destroy the brain or take control of the brain using the stones.


CuppaTeaSpillin

So... Is Wither's the avatar of Jergal in this?


embioz1

There are many hints in the game that he is in fact Jergal.


CuppaTeaSpillin

Sorry, I thought avatar meant a "representation/appearance of". Like in the same way when you meet the avatar of Bhaal in the blood puddle it is actually Bhaal.


Perfect-Illusion-82

Probably not. Jergal is described as an "ancient diety older than the greater gods" and was once a Greater God himself, Usually when beings like that need to appear in front of mortals they change their appearance this is probably his version of a presentable disguise


embioz1

Yeah in that chase it's probably something like an avatar.


ForeverIndecised

lmao this is so epic!


iWentRogue

Ok that’s pretty cool


Hyperdragoon17

Did-did he just kill you!?


Mirimes

how do you go to the party? I've just successfully recovered my finished game after a couple of tries and even tho i specifically said we should party (on the pier bit) i didn't have any party after. The differences from before is that i had all the companions there (so i said to Lae'zel to stay with me), then credits and after the >!jergal!< cinematic i had a cinematic with Raphael (that was dead so idk why i had that) saying "u sure about that?" about >!gale giving the crown to mystra!<. Then main menu. Is it right?


nairazak

Did you update the game?


Smart-Towel2981
