This was a great listen, especially with how different each of the panel's Act 2 stories were.
I enjoyed hearing about the differences in party build and therefore combat strategies. I had 2 offensive casters spread over 3 characters. My main was a swords bard, but with a handy magic arsenal. From Act 2 onwards, she was the go-to Counterspeller. I kept Gale as a pure evocation Wizard -- while it made me look wistfully at the sorc/warlock classes, he was clutch in so many big fights, especially with those lvl 5 and 6 spells, and the gear that gives you a spell for free. Shadowheart as a tempest cleric gave her more offensive oomph on top of her healing, and Spirit Guardians was good for so many occasions, especially hilarious vs invisible enemies.
Also I was:
a) surprised how much I've already forgotten about Act 2 -- I only finished the game 3 weeks ago!
b) glad to hear I wasn't the only doofus who totally missed out on
c) kicking myself for not keeping those brains in a jar! I started picking them up, but ditched them somewhere in the Underdark, thinking they were useless.
Bring on the Act 3 spoiler section ... can't wait to hear how (or whether) Larian pulled all the panel's divergent story threads back together.
