God I love how Larian has made it possible to ship ANY companion with ANY other companion, like, they gave us this power, and it's wonderful! Love wins!
@ForsakenWwitchery Жыл бұрын
And pretty much all the companions hit on each other in party banters. 😂 So any ship is arguably canon. Well, except for maybe Wyll who's mostly only hitting on Lae'zel and gets shut down by Shadowheart straight away for it.

I never considered them before but the longer I've thought about it... the more I think their relationship would have a beautiful poetic nature to it. She runs from the light, while he loves and embraces it. Astarion is running from his abusive master while she is unknowingly running towards hers. Shadow is indoctrinated to believe her abusive master is unlike Astarion’s-but he can make her see the truth and redeem her. After she overcomes her abusive master in Act 2, she now has the experience and insight to help Astarion overcome his own master in Act 3 so he does not end up the very same monster-thus redeeming him in return. What's more sad is that he loses the sunlight at the end despite loving it so much and Shadow (who initially took it for granted) gets more of it than she ever dreamed of by becoming a convert to Selune-with a newfound appreciation for light and life given to her by Astarion. Redeemed Shadow with white hair can also twin with Astarion so it has that aesthetic vibe on top of it.

Oh wow, despite the problematics listed in the description for this ship, this video is such perfection. But also, I feel like in order to get this material you had to play both as Astarion and Shadowheart, and replay both ascended and non-ascended Astarion storylines and Shadowheart's various choices in her quest as well? Or maybe you had a quicker way to do it but regardless, that is some dedication! And it resulted in something magnificent!

Thanks! I'm not finding those clips though, all that's in my vids was recorded by me, often with free cam hence the angles that aren't normally in the cutscenes. :) If you do decide to play as Astarion, IMO it's very frustrating with him as a silent MC. :'( I wish they fully voiced the dialogs at least for origin characters, 'cause for me Astarion pretty much loses his whole personality if you play as him. And he's the companion with the most content, like Wyll for examples has around 6k voice files while Astarion has more than 9k, so with him almost not speaking… it just feels like something is missing.

@@ForsakenWwitchery Ohhhh cool, still must have taken many hours to get these clips, fantastic work! One reason I really want to play origin Astarion is see things that you don't get to see normally, especially the encounter with Cazador. Plus I thin things are slightly different when the group finds out he is a vampire. Though I will miss his voice, it's a tough price to pay, but I'll pay it. Imagine if you could play as an origin character and have them fully voiced, I bet it would be similar to your video ^-^

I legit ship any companion couple except the ones that break up Wyll/Karlach. The only way I'm okay with that OTP getting broken up is if Tav or Durge is involved. I get why Halsin and Minthara aren't origin characters, but I would love to see an enemies to lovers arc for them. Also, I kinda wish the companions you weren't romancing in a given run would pair off with each other. There wouldn't have to be a default pairing for each one it could be something the player could manipulate somehow.

And I also don’t like Astarion when we are killing Orthon. It was hard to bear. I wanted to yell at him - go ahead and kill him by yourself with any way you wanted -, or even to punch him. But I think he’s there under the emotion to learn the truth. Well, he was saved by the confession after😅. But it’s even weirder if there was a confession after Araj, and then his behavior with Orton. It’s full of his lines that made me incredibly angry.

Does it trigger if you play as Astarion romancing shadowheart?
