they added new dialogue in astarions origin for when gale talks about the sunrise and his response is so 😭

I read that they changed something in romantic conversations after defeating Netherbrain

AND WOW

YOU CANT JUST DO THIS TO MY HEART

H-happily ever after all over again for my first Tav, huh *cries*

#i just want some extra opinions #i was planning on leaving him so his storyline could be a surprise for me during my NEXT playthrough :)))) #not the most efficient gaming technique but it keeps my runs fun and new #like i havent done gales quest past act 1 LOL #lunara doesnt really like gale either #not that theyve actually met but if they did she would be like “AHH!! A MAN!!” and then not talk to him #sorry gale i love you a lot you mean everything to me but its funny to be mean </3 #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bob talks

[levinbolts]

sure, that smile looks cute but what's going on in that head definitely isn't

#bg3 #oc: indra #gale girl...run #indra vc: new chew toy acquired #when someone covered in blood looks at u like that it generally isn't a good thing gale

[forcedhesitation]

missed experiencing whimsy so i started anew. except this time i went and recruited astarion first. his initial opinion on shadowheart is hilarious.

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #astarion #thoughts about media #i will finish my original game later at some point #act 3 is just not as fun i want to enjoy act 1 & 2 again #see what new interactions i can get by doing certain things differently #i might do another file as another character next but i'm just playing corydalis again this time #well. korydalis for this run. so i do not confuse the files #anyways glad astarion said what we were all thinking. #that's like. a ~30 year old woman with a warrior cats name. it's ODD.

Starting my Honor Mode attempt as the Astarion origin! We'll see who ends up with more complexes after this, him or me.

#you seem like a trustworthy person why yes i'd love to eat any worms you give me thank you #astarion #tavish gale #i'm also going to try to recruit minthara this run #we'll see how it goes #they say not to try anything new in honor mode so i gotta do SOME #baldur's gate 3 #quark plays bg3

[thegodsmadeyoutoruinme]

it’s giving “my boyfriend and i saw you from across the bar and we really hate your vibe, like it’s fully rancid”

#lae’zel in the back like 🧍‍♀️ #i started yet another new save #i have yet to touch act 2 and i have a combined 60 hours in game #this run is going to be my self insert but make it evil >:) #i’m going to try to go the ascendant route with astarion but we’ll see if i cave #he’s just so sweet if you don’t :( #anyway #bg3 #my screenshots

*jolts upright in a cold sweat* YALL WAIT WAIT HEAR ME OUT- *frantically jotting down notes* cleric of Lathander x Astarion romance….. the man who couldn’t touch the sun for 200 years being loved by the embodiment of it… embraced by it… sun x moon dynamics to the max…… someone whose religion teaches them to despise undead accidentally falling in love with one,, DO YOU HEAR ME

#oh I am making this tav a thing IMMEDIATELY tomorrow holy fuck #I rlly wanted to go the bastard x bastard route for an Astarion romance run but like…. #the potential of a sun cleric x astarion romance….. simply TOO delicious to go ignored #astarion #bg3 #this maybe isn’t a new concept bc I’m late to the fandom but ohhgghghhh having thoughts

[soldier-poet-king]

I'm experiencing existential shrimp emotions and yet still expected to play nice and go to work and it's just. Man. Man. I wanna sit around and think and feel until I reach some sort of tenable equilibrium. Not just crush the intensity under my heel into apathy, or at least the false facade of apathy. I care too deeply! Let me care about every little thing intensely and consumptively! I don't WANT to not be like this.

#work is good work can be good work is a worthy task #this isnt anti work #this is just anti work right now while im Experiencing Things #anyway sleep did NOT remedy yesterdays emotional time from finishing my durge run in bg3 #just. i cant think about it without going wild again #all new emotions unlocked #i cannot stop thinking abt astarion and durge and shared monstrosity and autonomy and freedom #and choosing to grow and be better and how awful and scary and terrible it is #when there is nothing left. you have nothing of yourself left #and you sitll have to go on and choose what you want to be #and that's so terrifying and so good #im kinda. like. the most insanely jealous ive ever been in my life #u know the sea longing? the soul deep ache for smthn you know you wont ever have? #because it's not for people like you. or that the acquisition would destroy you? or smthn else #but it's just. yeah. yeah. i am experiencing things #partially just maybe that dopamine crash. y'know the post concert blues #except not a concert. just a really good game. a really good story #i havent felt this intensely abt a game in awhile #or not for this long. it didn't linger to this extent. #alas. work to do.chores to do.etc etc etc #im so ready for vacation next week. im tired. #like on the one hand i need long term direction. i need a goal. a purpose. a duty #yes i risk the perception of the self as a non person and simply a tool with a use #but i already see myself as a thing with no value but use. at least with direction id have a purpose #on the other hand. i fear it. because i dont want to lose the intensity. i dont want to #i dont want to be even keeled and calm. i dont want to give up my anxiety and sadness if it means also losing the highs of joy and elation #is the dramatic swing of moods healthy? perhaps not. but how else am i to experience the breadth and depth of human emotion. of the soul? #i understand the poets. the romantics. i lack their skill. but i understand the heart of it. #the most important thing there is. maybe.

[tompettyscontroversiallyyounggf]

i must finally speak my truth and i'm afraid i don't really like halsin lol

#i don't dislike him either he just sparks no feeling in me at all #i don't think him just like hanging around camp being useless for ages helps #idk. oddly integrated character tbh he definitely feels like he got added in later or something #coiffure texts #bg3 #apparently you can get minthara w/out killing the tieflings in some obscure way now? so maybe i'll try that on a new run idk

Half-formed headcanon that the previous Archdruid Halsin replaced was the one that advised his village's council and elders when he was an elfling. Maybe he was even from a similar branch of the High Forest originally, so he made the trek to visit their specific areas when his grove was situated closer.

He would make time when he wasn't busy to speak to the village children and learn their names and show them little tricks and give blessings and share stories and lessons with them. He became much like another adult in the community - a teacher and a guiding hand, but special because he only came around once in a while. It became pretty routine of them all (Halsin included) to anticipate his visits even though they weren't incredibly frequent. There would be excited little whispers on the breeze and giggles in the rustling bushes when he was expected, his telltale shadow stretching on the forest floor, the lot of them hiding underfoot and impatiently waiting for business to be finished so he would come out to play with them.

His visits became farther and fewer in between as Halsin got older due to needing to focus on things elsewhere, until he was eventually unable to come anymore, and was replaced by another druid in his stead.

Halsin years later reflecting back on him and thinking to seek the druid out again to be trained under his guidance after Halsin reaches his maturation epiphany, since he had nothing left keeping him in High Forest. Solely because he remembers looking up at that man and thinking: "I want to be like him when I grow up". So why not give it an attempt? And - on a wing and a prayer - with only a vague idea of where he might still be situated, he packs up and pursues.

#BG3 Musing #Halsin Posting #druids and archdruids can live for thousands of years under the right conditions - plus if he was elven? but a blink #i'm just imagining a bright eyed little halsin watching him druidcraft little flower buds open #with that 'i'm going to be just like you someday' look on his face #then just fast forward like 240 years later and that look of admiration has turned to one of horror - light gone shadows in their place #fun stuff #halsin just wandering around to find the emerald grove and popping in like i need to speak with so on and so forth #introducing himself by his chosen name but hastily correcting it to 'but you perhaps know me as blank' #and the archdruid's face lights up like ah yes! halsin! good to see you my boy you've grown so much since i saw you last #and he chuckles and says yes but then when he asks after his parents or his elders halsin's face pinches on itself #and he has to deliver that upsetting news #he becomes a secondary father figure and mentor #then more sad you get the picture #the halsin headcanon machine runs at full speed but not always with a full tank #he was elven too actually i've decided #who's stopping me? larian?

Having done embrace!durge on my first playthrough, doing a normal Tav run is kinda surreal. There's so much content. Who are all you people?? You have a storyline? I killed you in cold blood cause I thought it would be fun, but I actually love you??

#dont get me wrong i love my durge with all my heart #shes my first bg3 love #her and her awful vampire ascendent boyfriend #but like #wow its a whole new game #highly recommended embracing the urge first run #theres so many new things #dark urge #the dark urge #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #durge #bhaalspawn #bg3 bhaalspawn #bhaal
