I could make a normal, totally mundane character. With like.... no trauma or mental illnesses. I COULD do that.

But I could also take a hammer, break them completely open like a little geode, and see if inside there's sparkly bits, or grey stone, and I've just broken my rock for no reason of beauty, but only to create suffering.

you tell me which one sounds more fun

#squirrel plays bg3 #so uh #I've decided that the character I'm tentatively calling “Dove” so far #was married back when she was still in the cult #and one of the ways her sorcery manifested was by blessedly preventing her from getting pregnant #so she could keep her option to run as wide open as possible #I'm thinking about making the guardian look either like her dad or like her husband #because the interactions would be VERY different #I'm leaning more towards husband #(god he'd be such an asshole. guy in an anti-magic cult finding out that he accidentally married a sorceress?) #(who's been hiding it from everyone for DECADES?) #(I'm getting a distinct feeling from her that initially she and Astarion would be both using and manipulating each other) #(and at one point it just. changes. neither believed the other to be genuine and then they.... just were)
