Yeah, I can totally buy Astarion being a massive fan of Drizzt. I'd imagine he's read many of his tales over the past century. The guy is basically the embodiment of what Astarion had always wanted to be: a man who had the strength to break free of his chains and use that freedom to become a legend.
@AbsolXGuardian9 ай бұрын
That's a really good point. Also while I don't think Drizzt was ever enslaved (I haven't read his first trilogy in years and then I didn't finish it) he was still controlled by the women of his houses. They're also both light sensitive, just to different degrees (I am reading the crystal shard right now, and Drizzt just straight up gets a photosensitive migraine including vestibular effects in one scene)

Also, Drizzt and Catti-brie sailed the Sword Coast as pirate hunters for 6 years (1358-1364 DR). Baldur's Gate, being one of the biggest port cities was surely their stop many times over that period. There's a large plausibility Astarion (on one of his hunts around the city's taverns) even saw Drizzt before, but due to being still under full control of Cazador, couldn't approach him as Drizzt would have cut a dangerous vampire spawn kidnapper to ribbons and Cazador, while cruel, wasn't one to put his toys in direct danger.

So I have this headcanon that in some of the time Astarion had to himself between Cazador's abuse and torture, he'd think about the stories he'd heard of Drizzt and allow himself to fantasize about being rescued by him, even if he knew it would never happen. Then at some point after the events of the game and killing Cazador he realizes he HAS been rescued, just not in a way he could have ever imagined; not by a legendary hero but through his own determination, and the love and support of Tav and the rest of the party 🥲

Indeed. apart from being a big BIG name around the Sword Coast, Gale would definitely know enough to recognize Drizzt, being a scholar who has read more books than probably everyone in the party. Karlach, since she knew Minsc, who was a legend over a damn CENTURY ago, would also definitely know & have her jaw dropped to the ground at meeting such a legend. Wyll, probably modeled his Blade of Frontiers persona after a good number of folk heroes, which definitely included Drizzt among them, so unlike his usual soft-spoken, cool, composed self, i'd imagine he would start stuttering as soon as he met Drizzt.
