Astarion Talks to Dark Urge's Butler Without Her | Baldur's Gate 3

[@dreamcore_noir7490]

Now i cant help but imagine Durge and ascended Astarion just chilling in a hot tub full of blood while Fel gives them a manicure lmao

[@darkurgediaries]

I’m here for it 😆

[@teresawelter7530]

I want fanart of that 😂😂😂 Gods, why can't I draw?? 😩

[@Achuidian179]

Wonder how many victims that would have to take?

[@TheMorrowgamer]

Roughly 5 litres of blood in a human body. An average sized hot tub carries around 1,100 litres. So if they were able to wring 100% of the blood from their victims it would take around 220 people to fill a hot tub. But since I doubt they could get 100% of the blood out of their bodies, lets round that up to 250 victims. @@Achuidian179

I think the Butler is kinda cute and he genuinely care for Durge unless they betrayed their father

[@darkurgediaries]

I absolutely adore him and i genuinely think he should have a redemption path with durge 🥺

[@raphaelregnault6914]

@@darkurgediaries Except it would be counterproductive from a narrative point of view. Sceleritas is a placeholder for Bhaal's influence over the Dark Urge, a little voice in his head. This influence is shown as irresistible and insidious, and Sceleritas loves being a nasty little rascal. You have to fight against him IF you can fight at all. He is an antagonist in the redempted Dark Urge's arc. Therefore, if you can turn him, he appears less powerful and Bhaal appears less powerful, because his influence can be tempered.

[@darkurgediaries]

@@raphaelregnault6914 i think he would prove more loyal to an independent but still evil durge who perhaps seeks to usurp Bhaal and take his place, I’m here for that haha. After all when withers brings durge back you can think to yourself about being free to do evil for yourself

[@mylles1112]

​@@darkurgediaries unfortunately he is a extension of bhaal, like a avatar. He isn't his own person

[@darkurgediaries]

@@mylles1112 but he has a personality 🤔

[@SSJKirik]

I love his distaste for Orin - which is pretty funny considering he's an extension of Bhaal. It's telling that Fel comments that she's a worthless lout, because there's quite a bit of evidence to suggest that Bhaal doesn't give a shit about Orin. That and the fact that Orin misunderstands Bhaal's lust for murder. She's constantly setting up these elaborate, brutal kills but in reality all Bhaal cares about is the quantity of murder.

[@WarriorOfVale]

Durge wasnt mindless about killing either, their expertise in medicine is proof of that

[@SSJKirik]

@@WarriorOfVale Even still, Bhaal doesn't care about any of that. Bhaal simply demands that the most possible blood be spilled. He couldn't care less how that end is achieved. His domain is just *murder* after all.

[@WarriorOfVale]

@@SSJKirik Which means Sceleritas is not an extension of Bhaal, because Sceleritas enjoys Durges murders

[@SSJKirik]

@@WarriorOfVale He enjoys murders because he is an aspect of Bhaal. The game quite clearly says this during the Durge playthrough. He was essentially created by Bhaal to guide the Dark Urge.

[@zobocoa]

Orin is cooking up one of those weird minimalist perfectionist 500 dollar black tie restaurant meals when bhaal's really more of a 15 dollar bottomless waffles kinda guy.

[@pollyinthesky2957]

I feel like “Out of my way, creature,” is the most in character response for Astarion 😂 I can hear it in his voice.

[@kassjazzy]

He's so funny, the way he throws an absolute fit if you lose the duel against orin😂

[@KyleHatesBees]

This happened to me in my honour mode run with my buddy. I was playing Durge and determined to show him the "redemption scene". Unfortunately Orin butchered me in 2 turns despite my preparation, and Captain Butler Boy absolutely lost his marbles - if I didn't already feel bad for losing my only chance to show my friend the redemption scene, I felt even worse for breaking the butler's brain and heart.

[@nintandao64]

@@KyleHatesBees i finished her in 2 turns myself, really simple strat too that you could do with any martial build it's easiest if you have the slayer form yourself from killing isobel in act 2 (do it after saving nightsong if you want the extra help at moonrise towers, this WILL kill the innocents like dammon/rolan/barcus). doing this will force orin to face u in her humanoid form equip the necklace from malus thorm, the one that lets you paralyze a target for 2 turns after critting have your cleric santuary ur tav before approaching orin orin will start the fight by going invisible, but will reveal herself with no options to get through ur sanctuary hit her and use ur tadpole guaranteed crit, paralyze her dumb ass and end her in one turn u *COULD* also cheat by using the tadpole Mind Blast that does a gigantic frontal stun aim it in a way that hits orin and at least one of the bhaalists watching the duel, and it disables the forcefield bringing ur whole team into the fight all the other bhaalists join in as if this was a normal orin fight, and she instantly gains her usual 12 unstoppable stacks
