I may be watching too much Twitch

missizzyA year after my attempt to get a Steam account fell victim to my inability to get past their bugged recaptcha, I am now seriously tempted to try again, just so I can get Date Everything! It's only available for PC through them. Unless I wait until the hard copy comes out, but I haven't even tried to use my CD drive since I finished copying all my music over, and I don't even know whether it'll still work on not. I've seen some of it be played through on Twitch, including the first meetings with both Ashley and Marisha's characters, and I've watched a couple of the promotional clips, including Dryerstarion's intro.
And speaking of which, I've finally followed Neil Newbon on Twitch, after watching a good deal of his playthrough on YouTube. He finally got to his character's big moment this week, and just now. A moment we were all anticipating, many of us dreading, and it got wrecked, apparently, by a bug in the game! We didn't know if which he'd try to choose, nor whether he'd actually make the checks to talk Astarion out of ascending if need be, especially since he ran out of inspiration while wandering Cazador's palace, but did anyone at all anticipate his not being offered the option?! Though we did get one answer: Bowee won't ascend him. Unless, I suppose, they can't fix this next time, since when she outright refused and had Astarion tell her to die screaming and leave, Neil did declare he wasn't accepting that outcome...although with the scene having changed around a little since I played through it pre-patch 8, I'm seriously wondering if it wasn't even a bug. I'm now wondering what's going to happen when at least one more streamer I'm watching reaches this point.
