Summary

Do you know how many candy bars I'd have to sell to raise 20,000 GP!?!? We left Part 1 of our Baldur's Gate II coverage with an outrageous mandate... to raise a ton of money to get information about where our soul (and sister) were taken. But Athkatla is a dirty and greedy city, so there's plenty of work to do.

This episode covers most of Chapter 2, except for the content at Trademeet. We kind of ran out of steam. Next episode should take us through the Underdark.

2:03.6	really great in multiple ways I think this is a real miracle of pacing I think it is a real
2:09.2	miracle of like ludo narrative harmony yeah and it is also my favorite thing as far as capturing like a wide array

2:28.8	Yeah, like just a lot of ideas that are comforting to somebody who really enjoys D&D or D&D themed and flavored things.
2:39.0	I'm super impressed that each major area's major quest is one that introduces you to a new
2:44.1	playable character. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's kind of subtle in that it introduces you to a
