What if Astarion Meets Raphael Alone Without Tav | Baldur's Gate 3

[@Jess-wq3nr]

Raphael’s little poem is even more fitting for Astarion than I realized. And even better that Astarion doesn’t care for poetry 😂

[@Sicanda]

Man I wish the origin playthroughs were like that. I'd gladly give up the non-game-changing conversation choices just to see and hear how each of the guys would act in those situations.

[@AlexKhodja]

Every time he finishes a line, he raises his head. I am amazed by his character and willpower that even after 200 years of slavery, he still looks down on others. He still feels like a noble class😎

[@serpent_seed]

It may also be a bravado as a defense mechanism, but I still respect Astarion for having the strength even for this.

[@AlexKhodja]

​@@serpent_seed No, it's just a habit left over from his aristocratic background. Nill said so himself that he came up with such a pose for Astarion based on his background. The name of the interview: Astarion Actor Neil Newbon talks Baldur's Gate 3, Bear Romance & Why this role gets him Emotional 19:18

I love meeting Raphael there with Astarion. When you tell Astarion "we can't trust him" or something similar and he goes "I think he likes us" 🤣

[@iamkittybg3]

@@Nakumiya Yeah, and he perhaps will invite us for tea and brandy. 😂

[@Nakumiya]

@@iamkittybg3 haha yes! But after seeing what Raphael's food really looks like when we break into the House of Hope: no thank you 😂

[@iamkittybg3]

@@Nakumiya ahaha in act 1 I collect food from the table (there is an option in the dialogue while he is telling that this is the house of hope) 😂😂😂

[@Nakumiya]

@@iamkittybg3 I also usually do that, free food is free food haha. But still, eww lol

[@serpent_seed]

​@@Nakumiya on my first playthrough I didn't make enough camp supplies in act 1, so when I reached Shadow-cursed lands, my party usually survived on bottles of alcohol of different kinds. So they usually woke up with a light hangover 😂

[@celticlion]

That sass from Astarion at the start *chef's kiss* ❤❤❤

[@iamkittybg3]

@@celticlion agree😁❤️

[@Callidus7SSM]

He actually picks the same opening line I always go with. Don’t mind me, I’m just going to sit here and squeal/giggle while kicking my feet with glee at how hot he makes it sound

[@iamkittybg3]

@@Callidus7SSM he definitely makes all these lines sound better ☺️❤️

[@ladyvesperia7594]

It cracks me up Raphael just casually breaks the 4 th wall. 😅

[@iamkittybg3]

I think so too. 😅 I don't know why, but with Astarion without Tav this dialogue looks much more organic 😊

[@Marielle685]

“How long were you skulking there, practicing that rhyme before I arrived?” - gorgeous! ❤Astarion holds himself with such dignity with Raphael. Does Tav have to be separated from the group to get that kind of dialog with Astarion? If Astarion is made the leader of the group, and he will start dialogs with all the NPCs and Tav will follow close by, it won't work?

[@iamkittybg3]

@@Marielle685 I just moved Tav and the rest of the party away so that only Astarion would participate in the dialogue. 😁 This does not work with all NPCs, only with some, like Araj and Gandrel. I guess it depends on the fact that Astarion has a quest associated with these dialogues.

[@Marielle685]

@@iamkittybg3 Thank you! It's really interesting to see how Astarion solves his own quest! 😀

[@wolflithay6380]

Thats so cool! I didnt know companions had stuff like this when they are solo :0 ❤️

[@littlelady79KK]

Thats funny. 😂 Astarion 0,0 Respect for Raphael 😂❤

[@iamkittybg3]

Astarion doesn't like his poetry 😂😅

[@littlelady79KK]

@iamkittybg3 i m with him Raphael is not good in that 🤣

[@iamkittybg3]

@@littlelady79KK 😂 I agree 😂😂😂

[@JMOlsen_]

Raphael is very entertaining (not thanks to any poetry), but I don't find him even remotely intimidating. I prefer to let him live and make a futile attempt to get the crown of Karsus from a certain god of ambition. Lol.

[@Bella__Ella]

I totally don't like Raphael, especially when he pulles out his poetry.😅 So I totally approve Astarions disrespect. 😂

[@iamkittybg3]

@@Bella__Ella I think he's cool, but his poetry is really questionable 😂😂😂
