For those interested.
*Chris talks a little bit about some of the characters in the game* so be warned if you want to be completely in the dark. But he appears to have really liked it and gives great feedback on the game.

Love this interview. I'm heading to bed now, but I'm checking out that podcast interview tomorrow!
In any event, I'm glad Matt liked the scene.
A question if I may: is it correct to think that the rep-hit party gets recruiting M'Khiin was just generic goblin-antipathy, similar to the Drows' rep?
I had to conclude it, though in view of her levelheadedness it seemed quite unfair, and I was looking implicitly for that explanation during my play-through. Yuup, I did notice and think of it, and my perception of her CHAR to what must have been a blanket reaction was a conflict that I would have been interested to explore further, lore-wise.
An expansion has constraints, I understand, but would have been nice to drop a lore-book somewhere, or something. (just IMO) But in conclusion: I also liked M'Khiin.
I remember reading that Glint is romance option for male CHARs in some thread, so with my eventual David Warner inspired "commanding male" playthrough, Glint had better watch out for my charisma! :-)
But the BG series has always been bad about seperating reputation from good/evil.
I am, on the other hand, quite delighted of what is unfortunately a potential problem for you, Ammar: I really love Edwin's arrogant, excessively self-loving character. But playing it nice, I cannot really bring him along because of the high risk of him abandoning me.
I do definitely want to bring Edwin along once also in SoD, so the rep hit is a heaven-sent in this context!
I perso would have just enjoyed bit of additional lore to add more context, like, say, "Woe of Nashkel farmers at hands of notorious goblin-chief Ubuti'iiq and his terrorizing horde." Just a mini-mini story of a typically perceived goblin to which we could juxtapose M'Khiin, which possibly could end: "And mysteriously, a villager named Noober was spared." :-p I admit thought that I have a great personal like of in-game lore, and this might well be just a quirk.
Then again, here's hoping M'Khiin's story arch is not finished.
Anyway, you would have to be a pretty poor paladin already for a 2 pip reputation hit to make you fall.
Yet "Breathing Water" is one of my best loved lore books in this game.
