Players share disturbing decisions that challenge you emotionally
Which decisions are particularly cruel? KyojiroKagenuma94 argues that betraying Lady Aylin to Lorroakan is perhaps the cruelest decision in the game. He believes that this act is far worse than simply killing
her to fulfill the fate of Shadowheart
.
The player writes:
You free her, bring her back together with Isobel, only to then rip everything away and put her back in a cage. To make matters worse, Lorroakan murders Isobel when she comes to Aylin’s aid, and she is forced to look at the corpse of her beloved, whom she has now lost again. And for what? For a few coins? Damn, that’s evil.

Another player named GimilionTheHunter writes about a dark decision that also involves betrayal and the killing of loyal companions:
Dark Urge can resist the urge, gain Jaheira’s trust, talk to her about her former Bhaalspawn companion, help her save Minsc, then sacrifice her to Bhaal for Sarevok, and when you later talk to Minsc [Talk to the dead], he just screams for Boo.

The pain of Minsc, who after this betrayal can only scream for his hamster Boo, gives this decision a particularly disturbing touch.
Spengy adds an even more cruel note by sharing another decision regarding Jaheira, Minsc, and Yenna. In a Dark Urge
run, the player also gained Jaheira’s trust and had Orin kill Yenna at the Bhaal shrine. When Jaheira and Minsc then turned against the player, the player forced Jaheira to be killed with Minsc’s larva.
Spengy writes:
This happened in my evil run and I actually had to stop playing for a short time.
I can handle Yenna being stabbed in the eyes, but all the effort to reunite Jaheira and Minsc, just for him to kill Jaheira and then realize what he has done… such bullshit.
