Spoilers about game main story ahead, you we're warned.

Since that lake village (I forgot the name, sorry) event thing, we've discovered that the Wraith Fever has something to do with all the shit that happened there.

Playing the game again, I realized that Bernard was the first person in Bareshade to get sick (after him there were a few others he mentioned).

When I was studying about the recipe of the Spectral Sirup, there is a line saying it has a chance to occur to those who visits graveyards and things like that and I remembered that, near Bareshade, there is that Old Crypt on the underground tunnels.

It made me think if Bernard was messing around that place (it would mean that, when you tell him about the Old Crypt, he says that he had no ideia it was there, so he would be lying) or someone from Bareshade that knows something.

I think this people probably is connected with what happen on the lake village (since the path to the Old Crypt is around there). It could be one of the occultists that spread the disease there and know is living in Bareshade, far from the eyes of Northcrest, hidden in a small-nowhere-village.

And it makes me think if the shapeshifters corrupted the royals from Northcrest, there sould be one of them from that family that was resting in the lake village.

It also reminds me of something Nameless told us once, that we already have contact with a shapeshifter and my guess is that he or she is probably from Bareshade.

What do you guys think?

Love this comment.

Bernard definitley has some weird stuff going on and I wouldn't be suprised if he was lying/hiding things from the MC.

About the Wraith fever thing I remember it being spread by the big rats under the tavern, so maybe Bernard could've gotten it from interacting with one of the bar patrons? (Personally prefer your idea though)

I remember posting a while back about Bernards odd gauntlet and the strange gem in it but I'm still waiting on an update that can help explain that.

The gauntlet and the gem seem so out of place on a seeming normal freindly merchant in a remote village...

About the lake village do you mean Mythshore? The one filled with zombies?

It would make sense that whoever caused that fled through the hidden passage and ended up in Bareshade, I remember one of the tall buildings having a note on the top floor from whoever caused that but I'll playthrough again and see what I can find.

I personally still have no trust in The Nameless but he could just have been vauge with his word choice, technically werewolves are shapeshifters so he could just be using that to gain our trust.

The thing about Wraith Fever been spreas by the Ratkins was something I forgot and could actually happen since in the Basement there's a scene of a Ratkin fucking a Bareshade guy, so, yeah, maybe.

I don't know exactly if it was a coincidence or not, but right after I gave Bernard the Spectral Sirup and ended the Shopkeeper Sickness event, I unlocked the Rat Problem event. Maybe there are connected after all.

I never noticed Bernard's gem and that's a interesting point. Maybe in the future we could unlock a dialogue which we ask him about it.

About the Nameless and the shapeshifters, I totally disagree with you. The game is very clear when they talk about werewolves and shapeshifters. Never once I know they used both as synonimous. When the game talks about werewolves, they use exclusively the "werewolves" word. Same as the shapeshifters.

I believe Nameless was telling the truth, since he seems interested in what we are doing and just gave us this hint. My strongests guesses are Feliar (since I saw that message about him on the cave I never ever trusted him again. I don't really think Victoria would be craving messages in stones walls, she has more interesting stuff to do anyway), Hayden (He is the newest member of Bareshade from what I know and he said that he moved to Bareshade, so he's not from there and the fact the he never mentioned Northcrest or were he came, it's kinda strange.) and Bernard because, as you said, he's probably hiding something from the MC.

Yo good catch with the Ratkin and Bareshade guy scene totally forgot about him, also couldn't remember if the ratkin could spread it or just the big rats.

You are right about the werewolf and shapeshifter language, I just thought since clearly the Nameless isn't from Aigran (name of the world(started a new playthrough because of this)) and sees a potential ally in us that he was using some sort of trikery to make us think we could trust him so we would further his goals or something.

About the suspects... while I grow more suspicious of Bernard and what he's doing I don't believe he could be the shapeshifter because he seemed to know our mentor at the start of the game, Hayden being the newest member to bareshade and his odd colour of hair (I know he explains it but I'm not sure i buy it) is definitley suspect but I don't know much about the swamp creatures, what they can do, or their origins.

But with Feliar I don't know I feel like having liar in his name and someone writing "Feliar is a liar" is probably a red herring? Maybe Victoria or someone else did write that I don't know maybe he lied to Victoria and that is what caused their falling out and maybe she did that to get back at him?

I don't trust Feliar because there's a lot of interactions with him that ask if we trust him or not, definetively more than any other character.

You are not asked this when you met Ste or Korg (maybe one time, but it's just that). Feliar is very persuasive and he's actually very close with the leader of Northcrest army, Everett. Since we know the shapeshifters are, actually, pretty interested in Northcrest government, this is something we should consider.

Anyway, I really hope the shapeshifter revelation to be a big and main plot. It would be hell good to see a NPC I loved and trusted has been betraing us this whole time.

Hey I think you're forgetting something important about Feliar, the way he behaves when you give him the love potion is weird. Most people who drink the potion look at you with primal lust no matters if they are dominant or submissive they just want to fuck with you. Feliar was like "oh look, I got a boner, wanna touch it?" Sure he is a Satyr and that maybe explains the behavior. But the weirdest part is when the potion runs off he is not dizzy or confused and remembers everything. Every other person who takes the potion has barely or none recollection about what happens. So yeah way suspicious mister!

Just something that slapped me right know.

Maybe the secret ingredient of the coffee is a small dose of Love Potion?

He is a lonely satyr who almost-never have guest. He always complains abouy being lonely, so everytime he has a guest, he offer a cup of coffee with a little dosage of Love Potion. Not enough to make you feel completely lost and wishful, but enough for you to feel confident and relaxed around him.

Maybe Love Potion does not have the same impact it has with the others because he is already familiar with it. Not to mention the fact that he knows you put a Love Potion in his coffee, just by drinking it (it's mentioned that the Love Potion should be spotless when you do it with Xeroth, I think).

Killian78102 years ago

maybe, although he never actually tells you what he puts into the coffee, he just says that he makes a special coffee with a secret milky ingredient 😉 and Vicoria says he puts tar larvaes in the coffee.

Also he never said that you put love potion into the coffee, he said that you put something into the coffee and you could get in trouble because he doesn't know how is going to affect him. If Xeroth found out about the love potion just by looking at the tea, maybe Feliar knew you drugged by the taste of the coffee, been he a coffee maniac.

Now about the resistance to love potion it could be because he is a shapeshifter or be a Satyr but there's also a wild theory in this chat that Vicoria and Feliar were a couple before and she probably stuffed him with aphrodisiac so he may gain some resistance.

Think about it when Feliar and the MC ar fucking he cums 3 times and he's suppose to be an Old Satyr so a young one must be able to do it 5 or 6 times that is hardly enough for Vicoria so is most likely she use her powers or stuffed him with aphrodisiac to keep going. I mean we think Arion is the one that could satisfy Vicoria because he can at least cum 10 times in a row, when Mc is getting fuck by Arion in the stables he can get fuck like 9 or 10 times before black out and while the MC is a twitching mess Arion is like "yep that's a good hole, Next!"

So yeah is a little tricky to think that Feliar is the shapeshifter because he could be or he just could be an old Satyr with deep scars and trust issues.

Wow, I didnt realise this, you are right. Now, things are getting interesting. Damn, this is is rough, the shapeshifter could be anybody... But maybe the 1st character I would point out to is the witch, because in the end we dont know her motivations either. Then again since she is a witch, it could be obvious to blame her... Mmm... Any other shaddy characters xD?

SrCole2 years ago(+1)

It would explain why she has 2 appearences and her tricky nature (because she definetively knows something else that she is not telling us). But, as a shapeshifter, being isolated in the middle of the swamp doing what exactly?

From my point of view, I think the shapeshifters have a goal and a leader, since they are working together and seems to have the same interests in Northcrest royalty.

In my opinion, the shapeshifter or is someone from Bareshade, or is someone close and related to Northcrest in some way.

Mengor2 years ago

Torben maybe?!! While he is not a main character compared to the others... He´s got freedom to move between Bareshade and Northcrest :O His role as a merchant would suit him to keep his true identity well concealed. xD

SrCole2 years ago(+1)

Torben seems to pure to do something like that, but it would be a good plot
