Astarion's most famous quotes in Baldur's Gate 3

[@brideofcthulhu347]

Astarion somehow teeters between sensual, suave and sophisticated vampire and a cynical, whiny toddler with pointy teeth

[@Heemiez]

So basically he's a theatre kid

[@evilpompom]

And a sassy, edgy teen 😂

The noise he makes after finding out there’s hundreds of goblins will always be my favourite, he sounds like a ten-year-old finding out he’s going clothes shopping. Also the fact that his concern isn’t the fact he’s going to have to fight a goblin horde, it’s just how long it’s going to take to kill them all.
