Well, I'm sure the next time the druids have a band of refugees show up at their door, they'll just turn them away instead of letting them in. The grove is basically a religious commune for Worshippers of Sylvanus. And you just stole the consecrated idol of their god (and remember, in this setting, gods are *very* real) to impress a child. Like, as far as the druids know? it was the refugees. You've pretty much lent credence to the shadow druids. I mean, Kagha is a shadow druid plant- playing on the other druids fears of the goblin warband just a stones throw away to try and radicalize them. Before she was involved the grove willingly opened it's doors to help these people- fed and watered them off of their own limited supplies (They are druids. They live in the middle of nowhere by choice. They don't farm and there are no corner stores. They survive entirely on hunting and foraging and even with druid powers it's a lot of work.)

"Remove all Charisma"... At 10, you already had a modifier of 0 on Charisma. What you did, by lowering it even further, is give him _negative_ rizz.

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

Astarion having a default Charisma of only 10 feels like the biggest joke of the entire game. Like, the _one_ characters whose background story as a vampire spawn involves is him having spent the past 170 years being basically prostituted by Cazador his vampire master, being forced to rely on seduction and manipulation to survive, the guy that even various NPCs and even the Narrator remark about how beautiful he is canonically... But instead of the game devs making him a Bard, he's the DEX-based Rogue (I mean, he's a darn good Rogue, but) with the potential Arcane Trickster subclass (which needs INT as base attribute). When I played an Origin run as Astarion, I respecced him slightly and lowered his CON from 15 to 14 and his WIS from 13 to 12 and used that to upgrade his CHA to 12. Astarion being a Rogue is the anomaly here... because when did he learn _that?_ If he was a magistrate while alive -- although the writers chucked the rest of his tentative background story from the earliest stages of the games back in 2020 into the dumpster and changed "corrupt" into "tragic", which gave him more depth, so maybe him claiming at first meeting that he's a magistrate in Baldur's Gate is him serving you a double-lie instead of just a single lie (as he hasn't been whatever profession or status he had while alive for the past nearly 200 years).

[@tsifirakiehl4250]

So, in my deranged hyperfixation, I’ve created a Rocky Horror fancast of the Baldur’s Gate 3 companions. Astarion is obviously Frank. Gale and Shadowheart are Brad and Janet because they’re the most basic human looking of the companions-I know Shadowheart’s only half human, but we work with what we have. Minthara is Riff Raff because she’s the most edgy, murdery companion and Riff Raff commits the most murders. Lae’zel is Magenta because she pairs well with Minthara with the whole “my species is superior schtick, and we had to cast the only actual alien in the group as one of the aliens. For Rocky, the choice was between Halsin and Karlach because they’re both big and muscular, and I decided Halsin should play that role, since I have Astarion as Frank and Shadowheart as Janet, and since Astarion and Shadowheart will be willing to share a romanced player character with Halsin but not each other, and Frank and Janet are both attracted to Rocky but Frank doesn’t want to share him, it fits with the characters’ dynamic. Karlach is instead playing Eddie, with Wyll as Columbia, because the two of them quickly become close if you recruit them both, and Karlach would definitely have the time of her life zooming around on that motorcycle-not to mention that one of her horns is broken, which fits with Eddie’s head trauma. Plus, tell me Wyll wouldn’t look awesome in Columbia’s golden top hat. Finally, Jaheira and Minsc are Dr. Scott and the Criminologist, as the two non-romanceable companions and the two Rocky Horror characters who don’t get to hook up with anyone. Minsc is specifically the Criminologist because I think he and Boo would have a great time narrating everything, and Jaheira is Dr. Scott because she seems to have her shit a bit more together than everyone else, which fits the straitlaced Dr. Scott. The minor roles are played by the hirelings.

I think I will never not go for Astarion in my game plays. I love elves, I love vampires, I love sad backstories, I have a "I can fix them" helper syndrom ... he is just too perfect. Tho it is hard to resist muscle mommy Karlach or Gale or Wyll xD

Ah yes another story of Shenpai putting her son in dangerous situations. That will scar Voxer for life. But this time Voxer has a rage problem. What could go wrong? 😂

[@maiadraconica6488]

the barbarian options are insane. Shempai your reactions are so funny, i wish i could play like this without having to micromanage everything and constantly restart...

[@SkinnaYTA]

I can hear the bi panic when, “show nudity” option came up

"One last thing - don't shout out you moves like that. It spoils the surprise for your foes." I don't know, it seemed to work well for Wong Fei Hung (as far as I'm able to find, that's actually a historically accurate thing the movies get right about him)

[@n.henzler50]

Shen understands the most important rule of D&D: if it can't be solved with brute strength, it's not a real problem.

[@bazzfromthebackground3696]

I love that Shen responses are just as Unga Bunga as Voxer responses.

This is the third stream where the chat immediately suggests getting Astarion naked 😂

Shen screaming, crying in bi and laughing uncontrollably... This is exactly what I expected and I loved every bit of it 🤣

Crazy how things change throughout the different play throughs I watch. Nothing ever goes the same and I love it! Great game

"It's all for the greater good in the end" said Tav while trailing behind him the faint mist of bloodlessness. Astarion smirks behind. Poetry. Subbed, thanks for the amazing laughs. Hope there's more coming (lol)

[@grymmoire]

I feel like this is mostly Astarion fangirling barbarian-style with some grunting, roaring and explosions thrown in

[@quietsamurai1998]

I've gone through the whole game with only Shadowheart, Astarion, and Karlach in my party. I had NO IDEA you meet Gale so early!! Never even ran across him!

“IS THIS THE BEAR FUCKER” 😭 I found out about this game through that scene imagine how surprised i was

After seeing the hades play through i was WAITING for this video i love seeing shen just foam at the mouth 😂😂

Barbarian voxer "would" be sneaky. Cause whenever he get detected he just intimidate people into saying "I didn't see anything" "nothing to report"

[@julyster8036]

Oh thank god I’m not the only one who loves Astarion. Gaining his approval is such a pain because you have to be an asshole which is perfect for Voxer. Love the dynamic

[@AeroViro]

it's really funny, genuinely because I didn't even try and get Astarions approval I just chose whatever I thought worked and even though Astarion disagreed with SO MANY THINGS I said he still wanted Voxer so I'M CONFUSED ON WHAT HAPPENED THERE

[@julyster8036]

⁠@@AeroViroSAME! I’m still in Act 1 really exploring everything I can and the fact he was like “wanna fuck?” It wasn’t intentional but now I love him and didn’t think I would be into vampires.. THIS GAME IS UNFAIR

Alfira being such a precious bean is THE reason I can't do a Durge playthrough.

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

Please let Astarion do his job as a Rogue and let _him_ pick locks, sneak around and pilfer items, and find and disable traps (you have to buy or find him a trap disabling toolkit first, though). That's what he is really good at. Otherwise he's just running after you looking pretty. He wants to show off his Rogue expertise! Same goes for the other companions... they're not just there for combat, they can talk to NPCs in your stead, decipher arcane writings and whatnot if you select them and let them interact with an NPC or item!
