spent like an hour trying to find a post abt the disparity of origin companion's content in bg3 and couldn't so, hey, this fucking sucks

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #the fact that the astarion favoritism is baked into the game itself is so darksided oh my god #bc what do you mean wyll has TWO THIRDS THE AMOUNT OF DIALOGUE??? #anyways this thread was also how i found out that astarion is the only one with durge specific scenes #and bc the writer was being forced into crunch and writing for both of them. lol #ETA I know abt Wyll being recast/rewritten and Karlach being added last. the post I linked goes into all of that in detail #as well as linking to another post that goes into even more detail and explains where these numbers came from. #you do not have to tell me. or accuse me of making shit up to make people mad. i know and i'm still mad lol #game design is very complicated yes but there's many ways they could've avoided giving the one black character the least amount of content

Obsessed with my group of friends who ALL approve of me telling a cop I'm gonna write her name in my Death Note

Gale after seeing my Durge's desires: "Oh, I didn't realize..."

Durge: "Gale, I have wanted to sleep with u since the moment I fought off the urge to chop off ur hand."

Gale: "What?"

Durge: "What?"

"I was so young, I didn't know evil when I saw it"

Young Karlach and Gort!

Tried something new this time, but man this comic fought me back lmao

Strike and Karlach are besties post-tadpoles, they are on the surface very similar people as the two most easygoing in the party, so the betrayal when they reach the point of reveal is really hard on both of them

I think my favorite little parallel between Ascended vs Spawn Astarion has to be this little, probably even unintentional, detail in the epilogue:

Mr Vampire Ascendant, when confronted about freedom, asking the pc if they'd prefer sleeping in the dirt over "living" in his prescribed decadence.

Meanwhile, if left as a spawn Astarion is like

*Passes several chairs, rugs, a pile of pillows, and two log benches to plant his pretty little ass in the dirt*

"THIS DIRT'S THE BEST! I LOVE DIRT!!"

#get tav/durge drunk and let him have a little sippy and he's GONNA be makin' little gothic mud castles #Shadowheart come over here and enable this man! #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #astarion #bg3 spoilers #astarion ancunin #spawn astarion #ascended astarion #Like it's so inconsequential but like it's so not? #i've heard it's a sneaky little EA reference #but still #dirt gremlin time #Dirt is freedom guys #Y'all ever sat in dirt just because? I recommend it #Also while I was getting that bottom pic Halsin was creeping ever closer to my durge like he was makin' a move #First sitting on the floor then on the far end of the log then the spot on the log next to my durge #almost spit out my drink when i saw it #Note: Mr Ascendant would refuse to sit down as well. He physically CANNOT relax #Fs in chat

early durgestarion is hilarious because Astarion is accidentally really good at seducing bhaalspawn

threaten them with a knife

respond positively to them ripping off someone's hand instead of helping them

have a detailed discussion on how you'd kill them (bonus points for going 'lol I'd like to see you try' when Durge asks how he'd like to be killed because who doesn't like a challenge)

straight up bite them (bonus points for almost killing them)

ask them which of their friends they'd most like to bite themself (and responds positively for the answer being him)

agree that 'they were annoying' is a valid reason to murder someone

generally be supportive of murder urges

You cannot tell me Gortash isn’t the reason Orin turned on Durge. In Rivington, if you encounter all her forms from nearest to farthest from your starting point, Orins first disguised interrogation of durge is about who they’re in love with. She assumes durge loves someone. If they haven’t romanced a party member, she pushes it further- surely there’s someone you respect- someone you trust (a partnership built on mutual respect and trust, no?) .

Next, as the smith, she wants to know if you’ll kill those you care about. And we know who Durge didn’t want to turn on in the past- she surely felt personally betrayed by that as well.

Only then as the journalist does she actually get to the more important questions: how did you kill Ketheric and what do you plan to do next?

She may as well say it: she mutilated Durge, she removed part of their brain and did all she could to tear apart their memories but it still is at the forefront of her mind: do they love Gortash now? Do they remember how to trust him? Do they remember being respected? Cherished? Will they still refuse to kill the Banite? It might be semi strategic, but knowing why they’re in the city and what they know of Bhaal would be much more so.

#I really subscribe to ‘Bhaal prompted her to do this as a test and to hard reset durge’ #so I do think Orin wants ammunition against gortash #and she wants to know if she’ll be up against durge or durgetash #but I also think Bhaal might be wondering how well this all worked if Durge didn’t romance anyone especially #they have to check if the reset worked #and I think Orin is so bitter knowing ultimately Durge didn’t care to exclude her from being slaughtered- only Enver would be saved for last #anyways it’s a bizarre line of questioning #orin the red #enver gortash #the dark urge #durge #durgetash #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #cats thoughts

It's the equivalent of turning your plushies around before things get too spicy.

Ketheric: What are those scratches on your arms and chest, Gortash?

Gortash: Oh, Durge tests their nails on me to see if they're sharp enough

Ketheric:

Gortash: I have some on my back too

Ketheric:

Gortash: Because we FUCK :3

Thinking about the Astarion break up before his quest is finished in Act 3

All was well in the relationship, so naturally, I expected some objection from him at the news. Instead, true to his character, Astarion had come prepared for the break up with some pretty heartbreaking lines.

Not at all questioning the player's decision, Astarion sounds... defeated. He speaks about "midnight chimes" with a bittersweet smile. He reasons that he doesn't have much to offer except trouble and burdens. He can hardly blame us for breaking up with him. He was counting down the moments till the inevitable end.

Yet, this is the first time in 200 years that he has been taken care of, heard and seen. He isn't going to let us go, even if he knows it will end eventually. So, he won't ever initiate the break up. In fact, Astarion won't ever initiate anything. At this point he will accept any decision made by us without defending the relationship, because to him this is no ordinary relationship.

What is it then, if not a relationship?

"Whatever in the world could you be?"

In a way, we are the dream that holds power over him, where Cazador was the nightmare. Tav is like the sun, at the centre of his chaos. His happiness, his freedom, his vengeance and his catharsis orbit around the player. And in his good ending, Astarion flourishes.

He really is the ultimate "I can fix him" or "I can make him way worse" fantasy.
