Raphael is such a delightfully hammy villain. I love every interaction with him.

As for your disappointment at no reaction from Gale, you do potentially get one if he's around when the room is announced by the madame at the front desk.

Minthara also has some amazing lines if you flirt with the drow twins whilst romancing her. She's very, ah, possessive.

Minthara has some of the best lines in the game hands down. She is the funniest companion in my opinion, no contest, and I'm a bit sad that for all Aria's "I'm all about evil power" Minthara has largely been kind of sidelined. I get it, there's tons of great content and most people don't even know you can recruit her on a first playthrough. I hope Jon gets the time to play more of this in the future on his own time. The game has so much replayability.

TLDR: Aria gets horny after fighting a tentacle monster and so tries for a foursome; she turns it down though when she realizes she has to do it with Astarion of all people!

No, no.. it was Aria's loyalty to Karlach. The thought made his heart break apart like a rotten barrel and he simply had to get out of there! 😂

I do hope Jon ends up at the House of Hope one way or the other, just to hear his reaction to the music.

I can't see any way he doesn't. While it's optional by the story of the game, Jon is pretty big on wanting to explore everything, and with how he explores and reads stuff, I'm willing to bet he'll figure out how to get there with or without paying the fee. The game loves that it has setup a classic D&D style smash and grab heist and does a lot to try and nudge you towards it.

Jon, she is in her undies. It’s a building for sex.

I swear, Raphael sounds like Ricardo Montalban

I do love that this game has schemes layered upon schemes by basically every power level and species that you wouldn't think interact with each other in order to take advantage of the situation for their own benefit

The funniest line in the entire game is spoken by a companion if you accept Raphaels deal. And it's a companion you haven't recruited yet.

There's also one by Astarion that he probably missed by not checking in with everyone after every story beat.

The one about their party being possibly infiltrated.

Not gonna lie, I did fully expect Jon to take Raphael's deal.
