I'm on my 2nd playthrough, after ending my first abruptly in Act 2 (Someone here knows how that happens). Currently just hit Act 2 in my new game. Going on 458 Hours total. Think that includes OA time as well...

I'm having a really hard time playing my character different from my first playthrough. I >!killed Karlach so Wyll doesn't get horns!< and it feels so wrong that I'm thinking about going back to an older save.
I've never tried this kind of thing before but a mechanic seems bugged. I had a tough persuasion check (30) and my character had only one bonus. Guidance wasn't enough to get me to 30 if I rolled a 19 so I looked for other options. I thought I'd get some kind of bonus if I charmed my target but it didn't help at all. I never use Charm for conversations so I don't know if that normally helps. Possibly the normal effect is negated because (avoiding spoilers) the outcome of the convo was very important to the plot. If that's the case it still seems unfair. Took me like 8 reloads to roll a Nat 20.
Also, venting a little, charming that character was only 1% easier than rolling a 20.

I'm in act 2 on first playthrough, but I haven't touched it in weeks.
I guess I got bored of it.

About 50 hours and just got my ass handed to me by Fist guy or whatever at the inn while most of my party had 1 HP left, so there's that. This is my first playthrough.
220h in, +/- halfway act 3 and still havent finished the game haha.
Like a few here i inspect every nook and cranny, do all quests i can do and read a lot of books and letters. Its amazing and very nice.
I did loose shadowheart and gale though ( oh no /s. Didnt like shadowheart anyway ).
I dont think i will do a second playthrough as ive seen a lot of stuff already, and dont want to go through it all again but i can understand some people do as there is still things to learn and see ( like the evil route )
