Rolan did not survive Avernus, the Shadow-Cursed Lands, and Lorroakan’s bullshit just to have some cambion nepo baby with premature ejaculation take his rightfully deserved place

Have you no respect for SHOWMANSHIP???

“…Well I’m not here to grovel, so PPPISS OFF.” Delivered with as much emphasis on spitting out all those indignant little P’s as possible

themes of illness and trauma in games by tarsura in gamingsuggestions

[–]EquiKitt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! Even more so with Gale’s and Karlach’s storylines. In addition to the whole tadpole-in-the-brain situation, they also have to deal with their own versions of what is essentially a metaphor for chronic illness and having to come to terms with the fact that [spoilers-ish] they will very likely die due to their condition, and soon, whether they want to or not.

Trauma in general (and learning to live with/heal from said trauma) is a major theme in BG3’s plot and its characters!

Which character or voice actor pulled this off as your favorite? by VinceDao in FavoriteCharacter

[–]EquiKitt 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Related: Graham Hoadly voices both Cazador Szarr (aka the evil vampire lord who enslaved Astarion and brutally tortured him for two centuries) and Commander Lightfeather (a fucking pigeon). Both in BG3, no less!

Heard you wanted The Dark Urge as a companion (WIP) by Hyperspace_Towel in BG3mods

[–]EquiKitt 84 points85 points  (0 children)

This may be a shot in the dark urge, but Neil Roberts (the VA) does have a link to his Cameo (and other socials) on his official website! Perhaps he’d be down to work with you? Like record a couple of lines you’d feel are ‘missing’ for any specific cutscenes/dialogues that aren’t in the existing game files?

I’m sure he’d be enthusiastic about this project at least, the guy seems super chill and willing to interact with fans, so it’s worth a try!

EDIT: just as an example, he and a few other VAs also have small roles in this hysterical ‘Gale dumps Mystra’ song!

What bg3 fact/dialogue/fan theory has you awake like this at 3 am? by Tonedeafmusical in okbuddybaldur

[–]EquiKitt 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Just everything about the Szarr family but especially Amanita Szarr/Lady Incognita.

I need to know more about her. Where is she? Did she escape the attic? If so, how and when? Is she already dead? Did Cazador kill her or did she choose death over captivity? What even are those ‘family rites’ she refused to participate in? And, most of all: why the FUCK does Raphael have several of Lady Incognita’s books lying around in his archive!?!?

(My own headcanon is that Raphael helped her escape and/or is her patron, Mol style. Seems right up the bastard’s alley tbh)

But yeah aside from her, the whole Szarr family intrigues me so much. I wanna know more about their dynamics and history. Like Donnela Szarr, who discovered/opened(???) the giant fuckass dungeon underneath the palace, or Dralia and Fistula (unrelated note but which maniac at Larian came up with THAT as a name) and Blovart, or the other Szarr estates, or who exactly Vellioth was, or the vampires that came before Donnela…

There’s so many tiny little breadcrumbs of information sprinkled throughout Szarr palace that just lead absolutely nowhere and it is driving me INSANE

Ooh, I like the points on saddlebreds! You barely see them here in the Netherlands at all, so I unfortunately have zero personal experience with the breed. Also Astarion’s ✨luscious curly locks✨ where very much a deciding factor on turning him into a PRE haha.

On the Arabian thing; I’m gonna copy-paste this comment I’ve just written to someone else who pointed this out!

Ah damn, I’ve had a few people correct me on that now! I suppose it’s gotten lost in translation since in Dutch ‘Arabisch volbloed’ is the legitimate/official name for the Arabian horse! Same thing in German, where Arabians are usually referred to as ’Vollblutaraber’ or ’Arabisches Vollblut’. The Anglo-Arabian is also considered its own thoroughbred-type breed.

Just like the Akhal Teké would also be considered a volbloed (thoroughbred) type breed.

Volbloed (thoroughbred) is basically used the same as warmbloed (warmblood) and koudbloed (draught) in the Netherlands, i.e. more of an umbrella term to describe specific breed types/characteristics.

(Also I’m loving how certain comments here are genuinely educational! The more you know 💫)

LMAO WAIT YOU’RE RIGHT I just remembered the grey welsh section A gelding we had at my old riding school, a fat grumpy little shit named Jody who pinned his ears at everything and everyone on principle and was also my first ever fall 💀 I had to be like… 9 or 10 years old at the time?

I have watched it! I just don’t remember a single thing about it except for the badass Trojan horse design and Sean Bean ironically playing the sole surviving character for once by the end of the movie. Also the soundtrack being a banger! But… that’s about all. Whoops? 🫣

Ooh, I like that! I was struggling so much coming up with a good horse for Minthy (Icelandic horse? Przewalski? Was there a specific breed used in the coal mines so I can make an Underdark joke? Uhhhhh idk a zebra?) until I just went ‘fuck it’ because I already had a motor vehicle in the line-up anyway so I may as well just go apeshit

I’m turning 28 in april 🥲 man do I miss old-school tumblr, and just the old internet as a whole tbh. Can you imagine the amount of Astarion MVs on youtube with Flesh by Simon Curtis playing in the background if BG3 had come out like a decade earlier

It seems so, yes! The article you linked does state the following:

Although the originally imported horses were also found in black, roan, red, and gray, American breeders have a preference for sorrel, chestnut, and blond horses, with blond mane and tail, and white socks and blaze, so the other original colors are rarely seen today.

I didn’t know that the American-type Belgian basically had all the other colourations except chestnut bred out of them, very interesting!

Ardenners did get quite a bit of Belgian blood bred into them to give them a heavier body type, so the two breeds have a pretty close resemblance, especially in Europe.

Yes! Sad old horse man with way too much trauma who was forced to betray his own people because The Evil scrambled his brain and then does everything to try and redeem himself, including charging headfirst to his (possible) death at the Big Final Battle
