"Added a journal step for when the tieflings leave the Emerald Grove. The Forging of the Heart quest will also close if Dammon is no longer available in the region."

Does this just mean that the quest log will update to clarify that the next step is later in the game? Or are you just locked out of Karlach's story entirely if you recruit her after Dammon leaves the Grove now? I'm already annoyed that I'm locked out of her romance because I listened to the game and thought resolving the Grove stuff was time-sensitive, so I dove into it right away before meeting Karlach. I was hoping that they would change it so the romance options would trigger even if the first upgrade happens in Act II, but I guess my poor Dwarven cleric is just going to be lonely on this playthrough.

Wait, is it not? Don't they all die killed by goblins if you wait too much to kill the leaders in the goblin camp?

From my understanding, that only happens if you pass the point of no return to enter the mountain pass or if you go to the goblin camp and advance the story there. You can find the Grove and then leave and take as much time as you want to explore before going to the goblin camp and progressing the story.

Gosh I didn't know that, thank you! Now I can take my time exploring without fretting about the grove being exterminated lol.

End the game with Karlach in your party but never having done anything with Dammon after Act 1.

I dare you

It felt like Final Fantasy 7 all over again!
