His initial impressions so far:

"gale is sus as fuck

I like the two ladies, but they sadly have friction between them

the white vampire lad is just annoying and sitting in the camp

I like the black swordsman dude, but I'm curious what gale is up to, so swordsy is sitting in camp as well"

He's been playing a half orc barbarian so he has been doing all the classic barbarian things (broke Shart out of her box with strength, intimidated his way through many situations, etc.)

So far, he went straight to the goblin camp after doing a bit of the Grove content and got demolished by Dror Ragzlin.

He hasn't found Withers yet. I haven't spoiled anything to him but have strongly insisted he try to find "the talking mummified man". I have also recommended following up on Wyll's "hunt" and promised him he will find "something nice" at the end of it. I will return with more updates once he progresses more.

I didn’t release Withers in my first play through and he still randomly showed up at camp later in Act 1. I don’t remember if he said any “we meet again” stuff but it was weird and possibly a bug.

It’s surprising how many times you need to replay the game to really understand everything a quest or NPC might do. The butterfly effect is strong in this game.

Fate spins along as it should.

I also did a run where I speedran getting Minthara, so I skipped a massive portion of the game in that run. He shows up at some point lol

Not a bug. He shows up regardless if you find him in his crypt or not.
