The Way It Was Meant To Be Played.

Spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3 ahoy.. Mae avoids all combat and doesn't level up, instead opting for the level 1 spells Enhance Leap and Feather Fall to just jump like a moon man past every encounter. Loading into Act 1, they ignore every companion and quest and just make a break for the Mountain Pass.

Here's where things get weird. Runners have discovered that killing Shadowheart and stuffing her body into a suitable container can just bork something in the game and launch you straight into Act 2's final encounter.
