At the Last Light Inn in Act II, before you speak to Isobel and trigger her attempted kidnapping, make sure to use Arcane Lock on all the doors you can (usually all but one of them) to prevent more enemies from flooding her room.
I don't even trigger her at all. That fight can be fucking cancer at higher difficulties. What I do is make sure I enter the shadow cursed lands from the mountain pass. that puts me near the drider's group and I just slaughter them and free the pixie. Then I never have to talk to Isobel and that fight never gets triggered. They even made a specific scene for this scenario if you go back to the Last Light after freeing nightsong and never having met Isobel.
I am continuously floored by the sheer amount of options they put in for how you could handle quests. After decades of games that just spit a Game Over at you when you do a quest wrong, having a game that's just like "lol game isn't over, it's just harder now" is so refreshing.
It's so great. For every problem they have put in at least three ways of solving it and two or more they didn't even think of themselves.
