If you cloned him you’ve just doubled the problem since a cloned tuvix is still Neelix and Tuvok. Even if you split one copy the other is still made of people who deserve to live their own lives.
My trick for Balthazar is to fight him in his original room. Don't fight him in the nightsong's room.
If you fight him in his original room you just have to deal with 3 ghouls that are a joke and his big bruiser plus Balthazar himself. Balth is easy to down in a round or two depending on your party comp and then you can just clean up the remaining undead. Once I discovered this strat I've never fought him in the nightsong's room since.
Astarion is on my to-do list for my current run. Im a halfling assassin this time and he’s an oathbreaker paladin. I wanted him to be something that would benefit from drinking Araj’s potion since i feel bad that he never gets to use it.
Also here is a tip I just remembered if you want to catch the cub during the chicken chase. Just go into turn based mode and you'll be able to catch him by dashing once.
Weird. When i talk to the cub it always gives me an option after saying a few lines that he can go to my camp. He doesnt have to race. You can talk to him after refusing to race. You just talk to the gobbo first and then the cub afterwards.
I read the summary of the abstract that a journalist with no science degree wrote.
