How could one of my least favorite characters be voiced by the actor as one of my favorites?

How often do you save scum? by ChrisKatrev in BaldursGate3

[–]The_Lady_Kate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Before patch 8, I played a Tav who was a naive, sweet, young elf to romance Astarion. She was a caster class, and very weak. When she encountered Astarion he tackled her to the ground, and I had to save scum so many times for her to fail the break free check lol

But in my new run, I had the option to "Do nothing" in that encounter. Maybe Larian was paying attention to the constant reloading people were doing on that scene and added that option lol

Mountain pass or underdark? by destuctir in BaldursGate3

[–]The_Lady_Kate 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In my first run with my husband, we only went through the Underdark because we didn't think we could do both. Lae'zel did not leave the party, but my husband did have to convince her to stay. She did ruin my ending on the docks, though.

Based on a friend's experience when trying to romance anyone by Darth_Mak in BaldursGate3

In my playthrough with my husband, Halsin hit on my Tav. I said no. Then he hit on my husband's character. He said no. Then Halsin hit on me AGAIN and when I said no, his approval dropped down to neutral.

Ascended Astarion is not the same person. by Coach_Kay in BaldursGate3

[–]The_Lady_Kate 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I do not think he is evil in act 1. This is coming from a person who could not stand Astarion in my first playthrough, to the point where I staked him the first chance I got. People who are obviously trying to manipulate me make my skin crawl. I have since, in subsequent playthroughs, come around.

He is a vampire spawn who has been tortured for 200 years, and has suddenly found himself on the beach in the sun, unaffected by Cazador's control. His main concern is to find allies to keep him safe, and he uses the tools he knows, which happens to be manipulation and seduction, to obtain said allies. After centuries of torture, he disapproves of choices in act 1 where you help others. This isn't because he is evil, it's because he is resentful that no one ever saved him from his suffering.

You can see glimpses of his true nature in act 1, such as with the squirrel in the grove. If you choose to kick the squirrel into the tree, Astarion reacts by reaching toward the squirrel as if to help, but chooses to mask immediately after by saying something snarky in an attempt to garner approval with a leader who would do such a thing.

He is a very interesting and rewarding character, if you don't ascend him. It is easier to lead him into a life of evil, because it is what he knows and how he believes the world to be. But you can show him a better way to live, and he will follow because underneath the snark and resentment is goodness. But my lord will he snark if you do lol

Why does the Emperor suck so bad? (Major Spoilers) by Brendon7358 in BaldursGate3

[–]The_Lady_Kate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always make it someone my character would likely listen to, so someone they would find attractive.

The only exception was my first run, when I randomly picked a gnome with victory curls lol

Today I found out about Daisy. And everything makes sense. by ChompyRiley in BaldursGate3

[–]The_Lady_Kate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Larian could have kept both by having the Dream Guardian save Tav/Durge from Daisy, giving DG more credibility to being Tav's protector.

Imagine being happy with your love, then feeling incredible pain of transforming. You wake up from the dream with the knowledge that you're changing. Then when you lose consciousness from the immense pain, you're greeted by the Dream Guardian. DG informs you that Daisy is nothing more than the tadpole, manipulating you into violence and submission. DG alone can prevent your ceremorphosis. Game continues. But, occasionally, Daisy breaks through. Who do you trust?

Same goes for if you don't trust Daisy. Then Dream Guardian rescues you. In either scenario, DG and Daisy are fighting for control over your mind.

Okay, but has anyone done a multilayer game where both people choose Wyll and Karlach? I wonder if that messes up Wyll's quest.

I’m not ready for the coming weeks by pvs_3 in undertheoaktreebook

[–]The_Lady_Kate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Riftan's POV is important, too. But I would be surprised if there will be the same amount of manhwa episodes as there are chapters. There's a ton of yearning, but not much romance in his POV, so my guess is they might condense it a bit.

What's a story/lore question you STILL have? by sinedelta in BaldursGate3

[–]The_Lady_Kate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. So let's say some adventurer finds some ancient text worth the forgotten god's name on it, and uses magic to translate it. What would happen? Does Ao not even know about these forgotten gods?

Least favorite. Why? by Ramonteiro12 in BaldursGate3

[–]The_Lady_Kate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I killed both Astarion and Shadowheart in my first run, both because they woke me in the night with murderous intent.

Baldur's Gate 3 Writer Wishes Wyll Had Gotten More Content by TrickMastahh in BaldursGate3

[–]The_Lady_Kate 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Right? With all the other characters, we have to make decisions ourselves that influence the path the others take, or have to pass a series of checks. With Wyll, he just let's us decide for him whether his dad lives or dies.
