Jokes aside, its not the incest that drove Orin mad. Its the realization that her mentor/idol manipulated her entire existence, and that she was as used & insignificant as the mother/sister she spent her whole life hating.

I LOVE that they decided to made Bhaal's voice calm and collected, way more chilling

Orin: I did everything for him... everything... Bhaal: How about a round of Gwent?

"Murder and cannibalism and brainwashing are okay in my book, but I draw the line at incest! What are we, British royalty?!"

I gotta say I actually really love the moment Orin realizes she’s not a bhaalspawn just ones sacrifice.

For a creature so full of herself, Orin is very squemish about something of limited consequence in terms of power or her personal ethics. That was a choice made by others, no more and no less.

For those confused why Orin reacts this way to this information, it’s not because of the incest. Orin reacts this way because it’s a realization that she is in-fact not a Bhaalspawn. Her father is Sarevok, and her mother was an unknown doppelgänger. She has no parental relation to Bhaal, meaning she has absolutely no claim over the role of chosen in Bhaal’s cult, and furthermore than she is effectively a nobody who usurped the entire cult for herself without the birthright to ever do so. It isn’t the fact that her mother is also her sister that destroys her. It’s the fact that an image she has been building for herself as a form of control effectively gets completely shattered right in front of her, and she doesn’t have the emotional tools to correct the fallout from her shattered self image.

I never thought I would feel pity for Orin. Well played Larian.

DUrge: Orin, let me put it this way instructs bard party-member to start playing dueling banjos Orin: NOOOOOO!!!

Orin's voice actor is so fucking incredible. Her delivery of every line is perfection.

As creepy as he looks, the Butler does look sharp. Also, so weird to hear Geralt as Bhaal.

Incredible how many different paths and outcomes this game has. I just completed it and I am completely unfamiliar with other people's cutscenes.

How odd, why would she of all people be grossed out by this? This is like extremely vanilla by their standards.

I like how when the transformation starts, the player character backs away with the vibe of "oh my, how unsightly"

Trick question: what happens if you use the option 4 ("Bhaal rejoices in such cruel betrayals. You really believed you were the exception")?

I mean, if she thought her father was Bhaal himself, it still would have been incestuous would it not?

Having the player character get squicked out by the transformation was a nice touch. Your expression goes from stoic to *genuinely unnerved*.

What really did her in was that her mom tried to kill her.. not because she was a crazy killer from childhood, but because she wanted Baal's blessing and her father/grandfather ordered it. My Bard twisted the knife: "Did you really think it would be different for you?"
