Okay, so, let me tell you about this whole “Infernal Mechanic” thing in Baldur’s Gate 3. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey.
First off, I jumped into the game, fired up a new playthrough, you know, the usual. I was planning to romance Karlach, ’cause who doesn’t love a fiery tiefling, right? But her whole questline? It’s tied to this Infernal Mechanic, a guy named Dammon.
Here’s the kicker: if Dammon bites the dust, Karlach’s quest just… stops. No resolution, no nothing. So, I’m playing through, carefully making my way to the points where Dammon hangs out, ready to defend him like my life depended on it. It’s like, I became his personal bodyguard or something. I fought off all sorts of monsters and baddies, just to make sure he stayed alive and kicking.
And it’s not like you can just ignore it. I mean, I was invested in Karlach’s story, I wanted to see it through. So, I kept at it, defending Dammon at every turn. It was a bit tedious, gotta be honest, but I was determined.
Then, I started digging around online, reading forums and stuff, trying to figure out if there was another way. Nope. Everyone was saying the same thing: protect Dammon or kiss Karlach’s quest goodbye.
- Started a new game, focused on Karlach.
- Realized Dammon was key to her quest.
- Fought hard to protect him.
- Searched online for alternatives, found none.
- Kept at it, defended Dammon like a hawk.
So, I pushed on, battled through hordes, all the while thinking, “Is this really worth it?” But hey, I was already in too deep, right?
In the end, I managed it. Dammon survived, Karlach’s quest progressed. It was a relief, I won’t lie. But it made me think, why make it so dependent on one character?
My Two Cents
Honestly, it felt a bit like a chore, having to babysit Dammon throughout the game. But, I guess it added a layer of challenge, in a way. Still, if you’re going for Karlach’s story, just be prepared to play knight in shining armor for a certain infernal mechanic.
That’s my story about my run-in with the Infernal Mechanic. It’s a bit of a wild ride, but hey, that’s Baldur’s Gate 3 for you. Always something interesting going on, even if it’s a bit frustrating at times.
