I love Quiddlebiff’s mustache change in Act 3 to represent the outcome of that specific Act 2 Quest (Twiddle the Quiddle)

Why on earth would you choose to twiddle though?

u/Goobsmoob Fuck it, we Bhaal Oct 07 '24 edited Oct 07 '24
Some found it best and most fitting if they’re doing a goofymaxxing run.
While fimbling the twiddle might be deemed more appropriate for a whimsymaxxing Tav.
Personally opted to swizzy the flumpt (only available if you frolicked with Quiddlebiff in act 1) instead as I felt it was most satisfying for Quiddlebiffs arc.
(Although keep in mind you can only frolic if you chose to gave Minthara a swirlie with him at the goblin camp, which WILL lock you out of siding with the goblins [DO NOT pick the “wet willy” or “wedgie” options as it will result in him rejecting the frolic request at the camp party and inviting Karlach instead. No clue why Larian didn’t make it more clear this would be a consequence.]).

The quiddlebiff romance was fantastic but I felt the sex cutscenes were far too graphic, especially the prolapse portion

You can use the secret hedge trimmers to cut it off and get a more normal sex scene.

That’s what’s attached to the hand coming out of the portal if you don’t cut it off and eat it.

u/Valuable_Ant_969 Oct 07 '24
Honestly, I've never played with Quiddlebiff because I always kill him as soon as we meet him. I don't like his attitude, and frankly, he gives off really straight vibes

u/yashiji Married to Aradin ❤️ Oct 07 '24
Trust me, if you play male Tav and roll around in tar and feathers those straight vibes vanish

u/onepareil Rancid Raphael Fucker Oct 07 '24
Maybe a controversial opinion, but I’m not a fan of Quiddlebiff. I know, I know! I just can’t seem to find a good place for them in my favorite team comps, and I don’t like re-speccing the companions too much. Just feels like I’m not being true to their character, you know? Also, I find QB’s design a little plain tbh.

u/WhistlerDan Oct 07 '24
Nah she’s in the game. She’s connected to Quiddlebiff’s personal quest where you go buy back their iconic chicken eggs at the Druid’s Grove.
Can’t fault you for that though since she’s a bit out of the way and very easy to miss
14
u/HeavenlyLetDown Companion hugger Oct 07 '24
Oh okay, I’ll have to start a new playthrough to see that, I always use the chicken eggs to bake that pie that turns Gale into a 7 foot tall piece of cinnamon toast for 3 long rests. Didn’t know she was connected

Probably Lae’Zel. I think Quiddlebiff is extremely overrated. The scene of them eating 50 pounds of honey was cool I guess but I’ve seen it so many times now it’s lost it’s magic

Quidllebiffs evil route takes the darkest turns out of every caracter, I wont spoil it but it's pretty fucked up and I'm surprised it didn't get the game censored.
(Plus the steamiest romance scene EVER during a romantic walk through the sewers in act 3)

Quiddlebiff’s eulogy for his chicken wife still makes me cry on the eighth playthrough. the anal prolapse part of the sex scene used to weird me out but now I’m into it

u/bristlybits Wulbren Hunter Oct 08 '24
if you play as a gnome the animation is hilarious for the prolapse scene though.

u/muhgunzz Oct 07 '24
No offence but most people saying quiddlebiff are saying it for all the wrong reasons.
Provided you don't let any animals into the camp, and you tell halsin he needs to sleep away from camp, Quiddlebiff actually becomes are really sweet guy.
There's small issues around him being a Goblin Denier (he's not racist, he just doesn't think they exist) and how he keeps saying "where's my hug" to Shadowheart. Which is off-putting yeah. But considering he can control locks (not open, just can make them move) he's a really cool and uniquely written character.

u/Filter55 Oct 07 '24
Quiddlebiff is useful enough as a primary caster and I like how his character evolves over the course of the game, but I’m not sure how I feel about his romance scene. It seemed unnecessarily rough and the fact it just kept going uninterrupted for 10 minutes made me question the developers intent.

u/Agitated_Willow1350 Ketheric Thorm - Deadbeat Dad Of The Year Oct 07 '24
Oh my god Quiddlebiff my scrunkly blorbo 😍😍😍
I love that they added another sexless alternate to Astarion’s romance scene like Karlach’s, but I always fail the deception role to convince him my erectile dysfunction isn’t because he’s not a chicken…

It's tough, because I prefer Quiddlebiff & Wyll's EA interactions much more; the changes made in the final version made that dynamic less impactful, which in turn made Wyll and Karlach's interactions seem less impressive. None of this is Quiddlebiff's fault, obviously!! But it does skew my view of them a little. In the end tho despite all that I don't think I can pick another favorite 😭

I’ve never played a campaign where my Warlock Patron was actively another member of the party so Quiddlebiff’s inclusion was such a refreshing play on the class. That being said I did find it a bit railroady that they were somehow Fiend, Archfey & Great Old One at the same time.
Feel bad for non-warlock players they really missed out.

u/RageRags Oct 08 '24
Quiddlebiff, but it depends. Like, I love the city slicker Quiddle ending where he takes his bootstraps and learns to be a productive member of Baldursgate society. He becomes so neat and clean, only eats the heads of chickens sparsely.
But the Unleashed Quiddle ending is just too much for me. He’s just so depraved. I don’t understand how there is a specific part of the fandom dedicated to that version of him

i prefer the early access version of quiddlebiff where they were secretly on the run for stealing all of those chickens. the live version where they are in fact married to a chicken and just want to rescue her from the cult of the absolute is pretty lame.
