Does anyone else over analyze the companions not just by their romance, but by what a life with them would really look like?

Not in context of the game, but just putting yourself in the fantasy of what a life with them would be.

Karlach for example, during the love test. If you say something like "ah she would love window shopping in the city" she gags. Shes a barbarian. She loves what she does. If you were her partner, even after the events of BG3 this woman would not be the settle down and go domestic type, nor should she be. (For the sake of this, I'm ignoring Avernus and Epiolgues it's just a fun character thing, so like assume her engine isn't a problem otherwise the only option is to fight in hell anyway)

But GALE! this man is already planning the wedding, he is housewife coded, he is cooking and cleaning and dreaming of dates with you out in the city. Surely he is also up for adventure, he says in Act 3 he has a taste for it now, and I think he'd honestly "make a home" out of *being with you* whether that is on the road cooking at camp or in his tower at Waterdeep. He's flexible.

Astarion (spawn) wants HIS freedom. Anyone who chooses Asty as a partner has to be willing to let him take the lead, and I firmly believe this. He's free for the first time, and now he's also free from all but the vampirism. It's hinted that pursuing a cure is likely his next step if Tav is with him, or that he'd follow on Tav's next adventure, (and like karlach im setting that hiccup aside for more personality based life choices instead of insurmountable hiccups) but I can see him eventually wanting to make choices like staying in fancy places, being in the upper cities, indulging. Insisting on stopping at the good taverns before going on adventures where "THIS TIME JUST FOR US, TAV. NOT SAVING THE WORLD FOR A GODS DAMN MINUTE" that's the vibe I get anyway

Wyll wants you by his side as Duke, so that could look like you settling into a life of nobility. Dances and functions, politics, schedules, meetings, large house. However he also could follow Karlach to Avernus, and he's always up for saving the world, so I feel like you guys COULD ditch at any moment to go do a Thing

Laezel... I don't know. I can't see her staying on Faerun. I think you'd have to follow her on her journey this time, and not the other way around. I haven't done her romance yet

Haven't done shadowhearts yet so I'll need ya'll to fill me in on your thoughts there too!

Halsin: nature. He can't do cities. If you are with him, visits to the city would be short together or you guys would spend time apart and then meet up later. He would be super chill with that. In fact, I feel like he'd support anything you choose to do and anywhere you choose to go and he'd just be thrilled to see you when you came back. He would not, however, change who or what he is to make himself fit into a life that doesn't suit him. He is too old for that stuff, he's got healthy boundaries, he knows what he likes and he's not ashamed to persue it. He is also polyamorous and if his heart stirs for another as it stirs for you which may or may not happen Tav would have to be prepared to recognize that polyamory goes both ways, but also he's a great communicator and would talk to you about it first and get your consent.

Astarion would probably get absolutely raked over the coals by tav’s significant other if they found out they were drinking their SO’s blood on the regular

I love some possessive jealous type shit. Like even if it's not in character for some of them.

Because we know for a fact in that world, they fetishise and romanticise supernatural creatures as much as we do irl, like that bad porn mermaid book Wyll and Shadowheart talk about.

So having been raised on these impressions, I'm sure most of the companions would see at least a hint of eroticism in Astarion drinking Tav's blood each night.

Coming to them and whispering in their ear about how thirsty he is, licking his lips as his eyes glow red. Shamelessly laying them down in the middle of the camp no matter who is watching. Sniffing against the pulse point at their neck like someone would do before drinking a wine glass. Then, harshly sinking his teeth into their soft flesh, gulping down their life essence so loudly like it's ambrosia.

Fuck yeah they'd be seething with jealousy at his twink ass.

Wyll and Karlach, the most supposedly good out of the companions would be passive aggressive about it to him. Especially if interrupted their time with their lover just to ask Tav to feed.

Gale and Shadowheart would throw so much shade, arguing that he really doesn't need humaniod blood and trying to get him to go find a squirrel or something. He just rolls his eyes as he takes Tav away.

Laezel and Minthara might actually threaten his life if he interrupts them. These two have the most high success rate of getting Astarion to back off, but it's Tav who berates them for being harsh and goes after him. Completely making their plans backfire.

Halsin is cool, Halsin is chill with it. Halsin will transform into a animal afterwards and mark you with his teeth from head to toe.

Liar

[Moments I've played so far and how I wished they went or how they just konda buzzed around in my head]

He'd not at all expected the way the way the smile fell, her jaw tight and her eyes stony cold. It had happened in an instant, it was supposed to be playful. They were having fun...

"Darling?"

Her hands pulled off his chest and dropped to her sides,her small brows set sharply In displeasure.

"I think you'd be lying."

Before he could respond, she spun on her heel and walked off.

---

Days later, the lot of them walked along the deep dirt roads chatting amicably as almost always. Astarion blinked when he realized wyll had been talking to him. Wyll raised an eyebrow at him.

"You alright?"

----

She looked at him a bit differently as she handed him a cluster of health potions for himself. A small bubble of upset pooled in his chest as he found he seemed to have backtracked with her. He brushed it off, deciding it was probably for the best.

____

Days came and went and suddenly he found himself with her hand against his cheek. She looked him up and down, pursing her lips at him. Frowning as she put her hands on her wide hips.

" Why didn't you just say you're hungry?"

"... what?"

"Well go on then."

She tilted her head and pushed a long braid out of the way for him.

"I thought you where upset with me."

"We can talk about whatever you want after you eat, you look like a wisp!"

He frowned at the comment, but all the same, she was right. He was starving. Gently he placed one hand on her shoulder and the other around her back as his teeth sunk into soft skin.

_____

Sitting at camp, Astarion whipped around to find wyll looking Incredulous as he pawed around for his dagger.

"Your neck, you're a vampire!?"

Astarion blinked at him and sighed heavily. He looked around and found the others quickly coming over to have a proper look at him.

" is it so?"

Laezel inquired as she crossed her arms over her chest at him, Gale glancing around curiously.

"Indeed I am, no need to worry-"

He found himself beginning to panic, standing slowly as the rest of them stepped towards him, armed.

" He's not harmed anyone here-so he stays."

Astarion turned to find her walking over from just outside camp, brow set deep. She stopped to place herself directly in front of him.

" Lae zel! You actively tried to kill me, TWICE!"

Laezel blinked with only mild interest, Eldora turned to point to wyll.

"You made a deal with a devil. You're actively dangerous to my inventory, and you burned my bedroll!"

As she spoke her voice rose with increasing agitation while she wagged her finger across the small crowd.

"He is actively the least trouble of all of you- Dont!"

She whipped to stop Lae zel before she could start a complaint.

" I am keeping him cared for so I don't want to hear ANY of it!"

Astarion blinked rapidly as he watched most of them turn and grumble back to their spots,but gale looked at him with worry.

"I'll just say I taste AWFUL!"

----

He had found himself gripping his stomach laughing while a goblin was flung into the sky after being forced to replace the gnome.

Baucus stared in shock, watching the goblin immediately become a screaming speck.

Lae zel wore a small smirk,admiring the sheer distance. Eldora dusted off her hands and said nonchalantly

" you think he'll be pulp when he lands or just pop?"

---

Eldoras hands where small, chilled to the touch as she tracked the marks on his back.

" some of this piled up, it was healing..."

Astarion didn't answer while she mumbled to herself as she read his back.

She looked at him with heavy concern as she told him what it was, a different kind of frown.

----

Sitting at last light inn, he watched Eldora pretend to be affected by a truth herb. He watched he comfort children, lean down and listen close to a comatose man. He watched and he watched.

----

He didn't realize until after Raphael had left them, the way she looked at him. She looked to him with heavy concern.

Thats a devil after all...

---

Somewhere in the temple of shar Astarion watched as their brilliant leader chucked skulls at karlach, who swung a club at them. Karlach slapped her thigh and grinned at her.

"You can't beat that! That's gonna be 200 feet easy!"

Eldora placed a hand flat over her eyes as she squinted into the abyss.

" damn you hit a rat !"

Astarion found himself looking around as the sound of her laughter echoed across the massive halls. Shadowheart trotting around a corner looking flustered.

"This way!"

-----

At the moment, laying flat on his back in a pile of viscera blood and pebbles, he couldn't tell where he went wrong. All the same, something exploded and yurgir's head landed a few feet beside his own.

It's blood dark, thick, and heavy splattered across astarions face. Disgusted he jumped up rapidly wiping it away

"God's it smells rancid!?"

A soft thump sounded behind him, turning around he saw the lot of them huffing and panting to recover.

Curiously went and leaned over Eldora.

" You alright, darling? You look a bit pale."

He grinned bright and wide when her laughter echoed off the walls.

------

They sat again all of them still recovering after once again Raphael had left them.

Again she looked at him, her lips pursed with worry as she looked up at him. The concept could be thrilling, so why did she look at him like that?

-----

After everything, every fight encounter and battle she looked at him. Making sure he was still there, still breathing. Still fine.

This time, he watched as shadowheart yelled, disgusted and outraged. He watched Eldoras eyes narrow when she leaned forward.

" I've made my choice, I did not agree to you or yours. Off with you."

He glanced curiously back and forth while shadowheart glared over her shoulder on her way out. Eldora seemed to march along down the path to moonrise with a placid expression. She didn't care.

-----

Camp

It's different now, he looked over to see her smiling bright for halsin. He rambled away as old men do, though for some reason, she kept smiling up at him.

Trotting along the paths was odd as now Eldora was thrilled to be sitting on a bears back for short distances.

Now when he drank from her, he could smell a musk that was most certainly not hers.

Here I am back with some hot takes about what I, personally, would do in the BG3 universe were I yeeted into it and forced to be... the Main Character

First of all, I love the idea of having played the game before getting sucked into the world because it adds a layer of horror that I don't think would even benefit you one bit. Knowing exactly what's going to go down would be DISABLINGLY horrific.

But OK. OK, so let's say I'm there. And I get granted like, main character abilities. Sorcerer makes the most sense cause like, you just HAVE powers. Gucci. We good.

I would gay panic the minute I met Shadowheart. Sorry. End of world what? Half elf with twinkling eyes and a swaying braid just told me to be her leader. Im- hghhh

Laezel I honestly think I could hold my own against. When it comes to fight or flight I am a flightless bird and her particular brand of bullying in the first act I know I could assert myself.

Gale... besties. I married my partner partially because I love info dump. As a kid I watched a movie about robots who rich people had in their homes like a Google or a Alexa but human shaped and you could ask them questions all day and I was like, I want one. Gales that guy. I wanna listen all day. But if he fell in love with me I'd be so mad 😠 no, wizard. Sit down and tell me fun facts. No thirsting.

Because I'm traumatized with a deep desire to feel safe I think I'd gravitate to Wyll a lot for organizing the camp, spending time together, easing fears, etc. He's also really safe to physically be around so I can see myself being quick to instigate hugs and stuff. No getting a crush on me tho, Wyll, no. Down boy.

Karlach probably would intimidate me more than Laezel. Lemme just say, not because she's bad, but because she's a firecracker. Her explosive rage in her personal quest would probably have me hanging back but then when we get back to camp we'd be chill pretty quick

I'd be all over Halsin because he'd make me feel safe, also. I have this thing about safety. He's also so concerned with the shadow curse I wouldn't worry about his crush at all but would very much enjoy his warm presence by the fireside

At the Goblin Party, I guarantee I'd not sleep with Astarion, mostly because HOW he comes on to you would be a big nope for me. Gale with his "pay attention to only me tonight or else I'm not gonna show u a magic trick would have me being like k bye, I'd comfort Wyll and give him space, I'd walk past Karlach and wish her well partying, I'd ignore Laezel and if she told me I smell good sweaty I'd go bathe in the lake.

In fact, sorry, but I am NOT engaging in a big party until after I get a bath at the druid camp. Maybe I saved the tieflings just to be able to make them make me a hot bath. I'm just saying.

I'm walking into that party CLEAN and I'll sit with Shadowheart at the waterfall and I wouldn't be allowed to drink because I'm sober 😭 but I think my entire horny ass party would be very disappointed

Then I'd go and dance like an absolute hoe on a rock to let off steam in the middle of camp, still sober, and pass out by the fire.
