[@nunyabusiness9013]

Astarion is a vampire. Under 5th edition DnD rules that makes him undead. The fact that he doesn't have an undead tag in game is either a bug, or was done for story reasons to keep his vampirism secret.

[@Blazieth]

It's definitely for a combination of "at least _pretend_ to keep it a secret", and gameplay. Being classed as Undead instead of Humanoid makes a LOT of differences, and is a little _too_ unique for a playable party member compared to the other playable Origins. So, for the most part, he's classed as a Humanoid, but since each Origin character has their own unique tag, some benefits to being undead/a vampire are baked into the "Astarion" tag, or at least that what appears to be happening.

[@TheSidetrackYT]

Which is funny, because in the early access days they never let it slip that Astarion was a vampire spawn until he tells you (there were some hints, like how he'd take damage crossing running water). In the full release it's right there in the character creation screen blurb about him, much less secret.

[@nonameronin1]

I don't think there was any attempt to actually hide what Astarion is considering the player can select him as the MC. The not being technically undead is handwaved by the tadpoles. The tadpole is essentially turning off the negative effects of being a Vampire Spawn (save for the hunger) while allowing him to keep the bonuses associated with consuming blood.

[@dudeseriouslyWTF1]

It's because astarion is essentially the 5e dhampir race from Van Richten's, his bite feature is almost identical to theirs.

[@RazielTheUnborn]

If he had the Undead tag we wouldn't be able to heal him. That alone is one of the larger reasons he likely isn't tagged as one.

[@clarencewalters338]

Ferg will sell you the secret items if you specifically have Shadowheart in your party and had her kill the night song.

[@timothyhouse1622]

For the Ring of Protection, you can also steal the idol after you deal with Kharga and the Shadow Druids. Confronting her and the Shadow Druids by investigating the place in the swamp stops the ritual.

[@notednuance]

Yeah, you just need to make sure you pick up the steal the idol quest (just don't do the stealin' yet) before dealing with Kagha. Unless it changed in a patch, Mol won't ask you to steal the idol if the ritual is already stopped.

[@magister343]

You could also sneak up on her, use her as an improvised weapon (you'll probably need an elixir of hill giant strength for this), and take her to a waypoint where no other druids can see her before you kill her. That will stop the ritual without fighting the Shadow Druids or making the Druids slaughter the Tieflings.

[@rytingur]

Astarion's undead tag also comes in handy if you let Balthazzar take the Nightsong and then fight him under Moonrise. The vats you need to escape from suck the life out of you, but he has a special line about the quirks of not being alive if you let him stay there a couple of turns

[@empressofdestiny]

The use of tadpoles and illithid powers not having steeper consequences was the biggest missed opportunity in an otherwise great game. I don’t know why it was changed so much from early access.

[@sanderkiki]

Don't also forget how Omeluum quest reward of "Mind-shielding ring" was changed from ring that blocks tadpole influence to Advantage against charm. It was such a sad change, when we as EA players through that ring would be very important in the long run of we wanted to be "pure"(and yes i finished all game on tactician with this ring and without even unlocking tadpole menu on release).

[@empressofdestiny]

@@sanderkiki I totally agree! That was very disappointing. They had an incredible story telling mechanic with the choice to use or not use tadpoles and now it’s a lazy power up that you don’t even need to beat the game once you understand how to optimise combat. The choice to release Baldur’s Gate 3 as it was, massively unfinished in its story is very disappointing and one I feel Larian is responsible for not Wizards of the coast/Hasbro. Act 3 is very disappointing, the cut content shows throughout Act 2 as well but its very obvious in Act 3. Larian studio had my trust up till the point they said they were going to scrap the DLC and sequels they were working on for BG3 to work on new projects under their own IP, it’s heartbreaking news. It’s hard for me to look at Larian as a studio that values creativity and their audience above all when they make decisions like this. I would gladly pay double for the incredible story we were promised from data-mined content and what we saw in early access, I wish Larian would reconsider their choice for their fans. Baldur’s Gate 3 is an amazing game, truly the best game I have ever played but its so sad to say goodbye to its story and captivating characters ❤️‍🩹

[@mitchz465]

@@empressofdestinyholy cow relax. The game took 6 years to make and is incredible as is. You want to wait 10 years for a game that is marginally better?

[@empressofdestiny]

@@mitchz465 It is a great game, no doubt the the best we’ve had. However to spend 6 years on a games story and characters and then to release it as it is with so much cut content especially in Act 3 which feels very rushed is just sad. It hurts the fans the most that Larian has decided to not make DLC or expansions, I wish they would reconsider.

[@karthh1987]

@@empressofdestiny i mean, also need to consider the logistics of relying on WOTC for Larian's future titles. Hasbro's management of WOTC has shown over the past year to be less than stable, with Larian even saying that the majority of WOTC team members they worked with have been fired over the past several years. Combined with the fact that Larian needs to pay Hasbro for permission to even use their IP as part of Baldurs Gate, I can understand why they felt it would be better to take the massive surge of popularity BG3 afforded them and focus their efforts on their own IP, where they don't need to pay royalties or be reliant on a team as fickle as WOTC. Of course it's not all on Hasbro, Larian said it was as much due to a lack of interest as working with WOTC, and Larian also almost never makes DLC's, with only one of their games created ever receiving one. It's very disappointing, I too love BG3, but Larian almost never makes DLC's for their games, and there are plenty of good reasons BG3 wasn't meant to be the exception. Sad, but understandable.

[@DalekSecSpeaks]

About the last thing on the list. The first time any character uses their tadpole influence and succeeds, that character gets the Illithid Persuasion ability for free. I've checked it on 5 separate plays, it always works. After my second play through I've always switched to a new character for each dialogue just for the free power. So when it says it's taking something you won't get back, it's actually giving you the ability. You can even do this before you've convinced that character to use their powers, and they will have it when you do convince them.

[@GianniCampanale]

I was shure that every caracter can use that power once per long rest but now i can't say if it is true, probably heard this in some video on yt and never checked myself

[@Jellygrass]

Also, if you use the illithid powers in blighted village, there's actually a interaction with all your companions about the powers and one of the few instances where companions speak to one another which is pretty rare.

[@Blazieth]

Illithid Persuasion is unlocked by default on all characters with a Tadpole. It's what _allows_ you to use the [Illithid] dialogue checks in the first place.

[@Jellygrass]

@@Blazieth the illithid powers is not the point. The point is the companion reply not just your dialogue input, but having ACTUAL conversation cutscene with other companions in the party. Throughout the game, the only time companions talk to each other usually tend to happen when you exploring the map, not during a cutscene.

[@yoursonisold8743]

More importantly, if you use the illithid powers too many times your character can't reject the evolved tadpole the Emperor gives you between Act 2 and 3. It seems most people aren't aware of that.

Nice small detail, not sure if it has consequences down the line.

[@OakandIV]

Before the dream visitor was changed, in early access, overuse of illithid powers could cause a game over on your next long rest. Apparently a pretty cool one considering the descriptions online and that one of the major theme songs of the game, down by the river, is dedicated to that game over. I kind of wish they had kept that. It was apparently taken out because they wanted people to use the powers.

[@theslay66]

I suppose players don't really like having powers made available to them then getting punished for using them. And I understand why. The main drive of RPGs is the quest for power, and punishing players for it is a bit of a contradiction, at least in a video game where roleplay is not necessarily the focus from a player's perspective.

[@Candy_McK]

@@theslay66 The story tells us, power comes with a price. You can be a powerful warlock if you sell your soul to a devil. If Astarion ascends, or Gale becomes a god at the end, they lose their humanity. The game is still telling us it has consequences to use the illithid powers, but it hasn't. That's inconsistent, at least in a video game where tactical fighting is not necessarily the focus from a player's perspective.

[@theslay66]

@@Candy_McK I've never said it was the right thing to do. I'm just proposing an explanation for why they did it.

[@mermidion7552]

@@Candy_McK in both examples with Gale and Astarion it actually seems like they are better off and havent lost something valuable.

[@Candy_McK]

@@mermidion7552 You and I have obviously not the same values. What are these marvelous powers good for? Beating the game a little bit faster - that's all. I don't use the illithid powers and I will never let Astarion ascend.

About Mol's quest, it's actually faster to just save Arabella from Kahga's snake, then either pass the investigation check with Donni, or shapshift into a gnome to get in the side entrance to their hideout.

[@NightEyes042]

For the first thing on your list, if you find the Gemless Ring and then talk to Ferg without him seeing Shadowheart, you can ask about the gem he sells that matches your ring and he'll let you see his special stock without passing any skill checks.

However if his corpse is too badly damaged you can't do it: there was still a Monty-Pythonesque hand floating above his dead body and while Tav and Karlach moved away is still came down on top of him, making his body "unspeakable" after the fight :(

[@wicky7591]

I discovered the skeletons in moonrise towers from a very unusual interaction in my honor playthrough. Lae’zel used a smoke power bomb which damaged either some property or a member of the fist which caused them to arrest me.

[@harrysquir2490]

10:50 Seems to me that the first time a character uses the illithid dialogue option, whatever character is currently being used "unlocks" the very first illithid power (which happens to be Illithid Persuasion) which becomes a passive feature of that character. (as if you had used a mind flayer specimen to unlock a feat like you normally would in the menu) Currently I have yet to use *ANY* illithid dialogue options on Lae'zel in my current playthrough (post killing goblin leader who is performing the ritual in the goblin camp on the mind flayer) and when I press "B" to access parasites she does not exhibit the Illithid Persuasion feat, nor is that section of her brain greyed out as it is with my other characters on which I have made use of the illithid dialogue options in speech. I have never heard the "something stirs deep within you hungry and alert" dialogue from the narrator on Lae'zel as a result. By using the illithid persuasion dialogue option at any point BEFORE unlocking it with a specimen found in the open world, it acts as a "free" parasite and unlocks the passive feat "Illithid Persuasion. Holy dick, I cant tell if that makes perfect sense or none at all. I'm fairly certain there is some sort of meat still on the bone to be had here, im just unsure what to do with it haha.

[@zyctc000]

Congrats for the sponsorship! Finally got it!

[@Zenn3k]

Using the Illithid dialog options DOES have a consequence. If you don't wish to become Illithid and wish to reject the tadpole the Emperor gives you early in Act 3, the number required to win the role increases if you use Illithid powers OR dialog. So if you really want to make sure that roll is as easy as possible, you need to avoid the dialog choices.

Don't wait too long on getting the quest from Mol for the ring, I'm not sure exactly on the triggers but at some point she won't offer the quest anymore once you "save" the Tieflings. So get the quest before you actually save them.

[@cheradine]

As for the ring of protection, if you complete Kagha's quest, you can steal the idol without provoking a fight between druids and tieflings. So, you can use the ring to wipe out the goblin leaders, and you don't have to wait until everyone leaves the Grove.

The Dance Macabre has been more of a hindrance than a help, in my playthroughs. It can split up turn orders and I lose out on synergies. Is it possible to directly control their actions? Maybe I have missed something.🤷‍♂️

Using the illithid powers does have a consequence once again

[@alch3myst]

What would that be, other than becoming partial illithid is at some point? I’ve put in over 500 hours at this point (I have no life) so if there’s somehow something we are all missing why not just tell us?

man you really need to put *spoilers* tag on your titles

Err if I abducted Isobel and screw over the night song I wonder if I'll still get that legendary spear 🤔👀 all for 2 parasites 🪱 When you get the quest from Mol, you can reveal the dark druid plot and after settling that, they won't need the ritual anymore which is the safest time to steal the idol without any consequences. After handing it to Mol for the ring, you can then steal it back from Mol right then and there as early as act 1 😝😂

Shadowheart leaves the party if you let Balthazar take nightsong

[@magister343]

It is a different version of the legendary spear based on whether you kill or spare Aylin. The Shar version is arguably better. You also get the very rare Dark Justiciar armor set for killing her, but just an extra two handed glaive for sparing her (unless you also run the Moonlight Armor mod). If you kill the Nightsong before killing or kidnapping Isobel then Isobel will die too, unless you cast Silenceover your party. Being silenced doesn't stop you from getting your rewards, but it does prevent the cutscene in which Isobel dies. There is then custom dialogue for you to tell Isobel how you slaughtered her lover, or to let you lie and try to convince her to wander into the shadow curse and try to save her. You can also kill Kagha without consequences if you can lure her out of the grove first so no other druids see you do it.
