BG3, 11 and 23?

11: Weapon of choice?

For Hith, who's a druid, he favors the Pale Oak quarterstaff he received from the Emerald Grove when he has to fight directly -- but in general he fights at range and is fond of using Thorn Whip and Ice Knife as go-to spells.

As for Akakios, it's a little more complicated bc they're a warlock in my initial playthrough but that didn't end up doing much for their character -- so I'm going to do a second Akakios playthrough for Paladin Akakios, at which point they'll likely pick up a new weapon. Warlock Akakios, though, fights with a rapier and just picked up the Pelorsun Blade, which I have a feeling will become a favorite because they're about to use it to reduce Cazador Szaar to a smear on the pavement.

23: What do they do after the absolute crisis?

Hith heads to Waterdeep with Gale - yes, sure, he's more used to life away from cities, but maybe it's time to try something new. He's a Circle of Spores druid -- he's good at finding nature where other people see nothing, and before the Nautiloid he was just wandering around. Also, this way he and Gale can combine their respective areas of magical expertise to solve a few pesky lingering problems, like "figure out how to let Astarion walk in the sun" and "come up with a more permanent fix for Karlach's engine so that she doesn't have to stay in the Hells."

Akakios allows themself to be roped into cleaning up the massive mess that's Baldur's Gate -- tracking down remaining Bhaalists and people making use of the chaos, working with the Harpers. Doing their best to put their talents -- murder, mostly -- to use actually helping people and fixing some of the problems they kind of helped cause. Astarion is also roped into this because Akakios is doing it and also there are the 7000 vampire spawn that need some sort of. guidance. So team "two most murdery people you know miraculously make each other better" is doing its best.

Thanks for the questions! If anyone wants to send more they're from this list: https://www.tumblr.com/wingedscribe/732972773455052800?source=share&ref=_tumblr
