Mortal Astarion X F! Human Tav. Ummm, angst.👀

For decades, this manor offered him a place to call home in the truest sense. 

The hallway was a sacred gallery, adorned with paintings that were not mere canvases, but tangible echoes of their life together. Each brushstroke, lovingly rendered by her hand, captured the essence of cherished memories.

Whenever he opened the door at the end of the hallway, he was greeted by the radiant smile of his beloved, and the hearth beckoned him to surrender to its comforting embrace. Yet, it was the vast window next to it that held the greatest significance. The tender caress of sunlight danced across his skin as he lost himself in the pages of a book beside her. It was here, bathed in the golden rays, that he could truly revel in the miracle she had bestowed upon him – the cure to his vampiric curse, a gift of life, a reminder of the depths of her love and the power it held to transcend even the most insurmountable of boundaries.

Here at home, he had found everything his heart desired.

But nothing is ever truly perfect. Life simply doesn't work that way.  Even the mightiest of fortresses cannot withstand the relentless march of time.

He thought he was ready for it, but not like this.

Never like this.

The poem cited is "When You Are Old" BY W.B. Yeats. One of my favorites.❤️

Alright, thanks for reading the second installment of my "this did not really happen to my couple". After delving into the mortality of my Tav, Amaara, I found myself confronting a fear more profound than death itself – the fear of morbidity, of life's vibrancy fading before its inevitable end. So I decided to yank my CP around this theme. Self-indulgence at its finest.😊

Astarion's playthrough is quickly approaching its end, seeing as the long weekend lays ahead I'll surely be done with the game in a day or two.

Overall I think the origin playthrough was worth it, even if for the sole moment when you finish Astarion's personal questline (spawn route) and Karlach tells you she's proud of you - and you can admit she's been a good influence on you, which was my personal headcanon since the very beginning. I was like...yep it's a wrap, I don't need anything more from this game. xD

The aftermath conversation with Jaheira was also great...the rest of the party had only one-liners as comments but oh well. You can't have everything. Only Shadowheart had nothing new to say which might be a feature, might be a bug. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (seriously this playthrough was the most bugged one out of all I had done before)

Anyways the game finally acknowledges Astarion's positive character arc during both the confrontation with Cazador and the aftermath giving you a variety of dialogue choices. I am satisfied.

#bg 3 playthrough #astarion x shadowheart had grown on me a lot #but I would be lying if I said astarion x harv wasn't stuck in my head still #they just keep punching my heart/brain randomly #not that I hate it

Astarion's slowly making his way through Act 3

still have a few loose ends/ companion questlines to finish up (his own included...though I can easily imagine him procrastinating on that one so I'm keeping it for desert)

tactician difficulty is not too bad, though it did put me in my place when I thought I could go fight Ansur without proper preparation beforehand

Shadowheart's romance grew on me...I still think Karlach would've been better for Astarion for a 'redeemed' playthrough, but miss Princess isn't too bad either... Her romance definitely takes more shape in Act 3 so you have to wait a while.
