man, it's been a while...
anyway, i've picked up baldur's gate 3 again and seemingly closing in on actually ending at least one playthrough! so it seems like the good time to introduce my main Tav (because of course I've made a whole gaggle of them ahah), Vertigo!
so, basically - Vertigo is a captain of a small, but precious ship and leader of adventuring party (that also happens to be his crew) and he's been roaming the Sword Coast for the last 50 years or so. Before that, he was many things - runaway, sailor, bounty hunter, spy, bodyguard and many more - but it's all in the past now, and life is finally good...
Except for the moment his ship gets attacked by passing Nautiloid, crew either killed or kidnapped and then killed by mindflayers and Avernus locals, and his beloved swarm of feywild spirits being seemingly lost to him, leaving Vertigo heartbroken, grieving and infected by illitid tadpole.
Lost and, for the first time in half a century, completely alone, Vertigo stumbles into bunch of people in the same boat with him, and now would have to deal with all that - but at least he knows how to be a captain, so captain he'll be - even if it's the last thing he'll ever do.
(so yeah, act 1 is kinda rough for him :.D)
