Ascended Astarion jealous of The Emperor | Baldur's Gate 3

[@lizapb]

So he breaks up, insults them, even says: "Get out of my city" and then suddenly he acts like it wasn't him who broke up? Yeah, this epilogue is still bugged as hell.

[@alexslender191]

Or mb AA is asshole😊

[@katetorr666]

He probably sees it as your fault for changing into a mind flayer. Basically ruining the plans he had for you together

[@vulcanhumor]

No, that's just what an emotionally manipulative/abusive person sounds like.

[@charlottezhao7510]

"the mechanics " im ded lol

[@Louves192]

No creativity, the emperor made it work 🥲

[@rocketgroot8171]

Nah, he isn't jealous. He doesn't care. Author, why didn't you record this option? Player: Acceptable, but I still think of you sometimes. Astarion: Oh, that is so sweet. I hope you're not expecting me to say it back, because... well.

[@pikajulie_art]

The choices I picked were newly added in Patch 7. The "I still think of you sometimes" option was present in Patch 6. 😀 (Also, RP-wise, I didn't like chasing over someone who told me to get out of "his" city.) 😂

[@sunidaze]

I wonder if there's a romanced Emperor ending if you didn't romance anyone else but slept with him.

[@pikajulie_art]

@@sunidaze The nearest romanced Emperor ending is making him become Absolute and being his right hand. Otherwise, he just leaves a note in your camp, with the note varying depending on your dialogue choice in the docks. 🐙

[@dayschange2]

I would be interested to see that. The brief glimpse we have of their dynamic here certainly seems to convey a lot of respect on the Emperor's part, which would be a good foundation for a relationship that actually might make AA jealous in the end.

[@Louves192]

"Get out of my city" "You will return to take your place at my side" Seems like someone forgot to check a dialogue flag 🥲 EDIT: I looked at the dialogue tree, the only check for this dialogue is 'ending your relationship during the game finale' which includes joining Karlach in Avernus, joining Lae'zel and breaking up during the Elfsong tavern scene. It does not check if you are a mind flayer and he told you to f' off 😆

[@pikajulie_art]

I knew I wasn't tripping when I got this outcome. 🤣 I was so confused when he suddenly wanted to "take his consort back." Thank you for checking the dialogue tree! ✨

[@Jenifry93]

Will he have you will return at my place occur if you going with lazel ?

[@jessrose7312]

i have never gone down the mindflayer route & honestly don't think I ever will. I always play as a redeemed durge who just got their autonomy back I'm good with being a gross monster. And seeing this makes me confirm even more that I dont want to do it

[@atbkhaveiturway]

I became one in my very first playthrough just for the achievement.

[@Safiyahalishah]

I became one in my first playthrough because I thought I had to if I didn't want Gale to blow himself up... My character was the sort of person to make a sacrifice like that, anyway. 😔

[@FuryOfTheSwarm]

This is why I ascended Astarion and then assumed control of the brain, and astarion by extent.

[@writer_jane4912]

Okay, but here me out. AA takes the party on an adventure looking for a way to restore his favorite murder buddy/lover to their original form. Assuming Durge this could be a very interesting quest involving Bhal and some other gods.

[@VkMari3712]

I mean it doesn't sound like a bad idea but the illithid form can never be undone. It's permanent, all through the game it tells you this fact

[@angelstarlight6030]

That last part seems bugged, as far as I know it's supposed to be said when you go to Avernus with Karlach and Wyll whilst romancing ascended Astarion, that's how I had that convo with him
