This review contains spoilers
Spoilers for the game, running through my various choices
Character: Half Orc Druid, The Urge background, big hog
Party members: Shadowheart, Karlach, Astarion
Left Wyll back at camp, dismissed Gale for being annoying and wanting to eat some prism, ended up killing La'zel early on so as not to piss off the tieflings
Started a romance with Karlach, ended up turning her into a mind flayer at the end which saved her from dying of an exploding heart. People complained about her endings but I rather liked the one I got
Tried to be good, rejected Bhaal, Shadowheart went good and changed to another god, Astarion became the new asshole vampire lord, sided with the Emperor.

Magnificent stuff. So personal to your choices, and profound in its reactions. Improves upon 5e's cumbersome combat system, to the point where it feels actually good to play. (not as good as DOS2's combat system, but close) The expansiveness of the world and your options occasionally threatens to break the game, and there were more than a few annoying bugs, but those are small in comparison to the achievement. My one recommendation is to not feel like you have to investigate everything. Leave some things for a later replay. I'm too much a sucker for completionism in side quests and exploration, don't be me.
I'll write up a second log that's just a spoiler breakdown of my choices.
