These comments are unreal.

[@Lemorexp]

idk just feels weird to basically make him use her charcter that she created since refusing would be mad awkward and also at the ogre part he js wanted to leave and do something else but she forced him saying open the door multiple times idk man i just feel like she should let the dude play however he wants since there is no true right way to play bg3

[@gmstrbert2982]

⁠@@LemorexpSeriously? “Make him use her character”? She straight up told him that he didn’t have to use it! *And* he stated multiple times that he was impressed with it. As for the ogre, she just wanted to see his reaction to the completely missable ‘Funny Ha Ha’ moment. And he enjoyed it! He laughed! Putting way too much of your own emotion into a couple of friends playing a game together. I haven’t had this much fun watching any other group play the game. She’s even letting him take the lead and only giving him input on occasion to help him have as much fun with the game as possible!

[@_burningshadow_8010]

I dunno I kinda respect the kill on Astarion, the Owl bear cub was overkill but killing a vampire that just tried to attack you in your sleep is a pretty reasonable reaction. The lae'zel one was a bit silly as well. Considering she did not actively try to kill you, but it's still somewhat reasonable.

[@jwall1646]

Astarions choice was purely selfish. He could’ve continued hunting boars and other wildlife in the forest but gave into temptation. He will even outright kill you if you still let him bite but don’t keep him on a short leash. Lae’zel attacks only when she correctly sees that you’re beginning to transform into a illithid. Honestly a mercy compared to the pain of transforming and living the rest of your days as a tentacle slave.

Astarion decides to see if he can break one of the rules, which is to feed on anything sentient. Should he have tried to feed on you without consent? Obv not. But it was a trauma-based decision, not purely “ooh what delectable snacks I have here”, and he respects the limit of feeding on enemies only afterwards The voice actor said he based Astarion on a stray cat that took him 2 or 3 years to befriend

[@jwall1646]

@@Hexer404 understanding WHY he’s evil doesn’t excuse THAT he’s evil. As you’ve just said “he decides” to use us the player for his own selfish goals, whether maliciously or not. Also I’m sure he’s just fine with only feeding on enemies as 1) it means keeping the rest of the party off his back and 2) I’m doubtful one’s morality comes through in the taste of blood. He’s a phenomenally written & voiced character, he just blows for 70% of the game if you’re not romancing him.
