* Normally, you're not supposed to be able to take equipped items from characters that are unconscious but still alive, but this does not apply to recruitable characters. Players attempting to recruit Minthara on a non-evil run will usually find this out the hard way by knocking her out, looting everything off of her, and then seeing her stark naked when she reappears in Act 2.

** It's so cold that icicles hang off of Wyll's horns and Lae'zel's/Astarion's pointy ears. As the party and ersatz Santa Claus sit around the fire, poor anemic Astarion shivers in a blanket (even though he's already seated as close to Karlach as he could be, on her lap), while Shadowheart snuggles up to Karlach and basks in her warmth.

* One of the items a player can find is 'The pointy Hat' which is... exactly what it sounds like, a stereotypical wizards hat. It grants the bonus of adding your intelligence modifier to any persuasion checks. Given that the only class that requires intelligence is a wizard it gives off the impression that it's not actually a magical item it just makes people trust your opinion more as a wizard cause you're dressed like one.

** Nearly the entire party goes googly-eyed at the prospect of presents - except Astarion and Lae'zel, squeezed together at the bottom of the group reaction shot. The two share a suspicious "this is too good to be true, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" look and decide to search the camp individually, succeeding on their perception checks (Lae'zel notices footsteps and figures out someone had been there before them, Astarion finds the smoking gun of the slaughtered and possibly half-eaten elves and reindeer).

Even funnier given that Minsc's new voice actor, Creator/MatthewMercer, has been running turn-based combat for his players on ''WebVideos/CriticalRole'' for nearly a decade at this point.

** When asked about Astarion, she claims that even after attaining freedom after being conveniently abducted by mind flayers, Astarion would never truly break free from Cazador's yoke so long as his sadistic master lives. And when asked if she's worried about him drinking her blood, she would chuckle at the idea before saying that the vampire spawn is wise enough to not make such an attempt on her.

* The Dark Urge can inform spawn Astarion that their murderous urges have been cured, upon which Astarion will claim that he didn't doubt that they could do it... while putting the dagger he had behind his back away. Ascended Astarion just jokes about preferring not to ruin the evening by having to kill the Urge.

Added DiffLines:

** Later patches have changed this and made Minthara easier to recruit in a good playthrough, as well as altering the tent situation. Minthara and Halsin will no longer share- instead Halsin will find a spot of ground far away from Minthara's new tent and be content with that. While its perfectly in character for both, it can be a bit awkward to see Halsin sitting on his own in the dirt while the woman who would have destroyed his old home kicks him out of his new one.
** Especially funny if the party is staying at the Elfsong Tavern in act 3- depending on how many companions have stuck around, there will often be at least one bed available. But Halsin continues to sleep on the floor.
