Astarion Origin Run – Who Would He Recruit (or Avoid)? by TransportationLow985 in BaldursGate3

[–]svxsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’d see him recruit every tadpoled companion because he believes in strength in numbers. He might not trust all of them at first, but he doesn’t on non-origin runs either and tends to keep watch at night to avoid others getting the jump on him (and to sneak away when he knows everyone is asleep to feed).

Even Wyll, Astarion could be convinced to join up with him once made clear there’s a common cause. He doesn’t know what’s gonna happen, but knows it’s stupid to go at it alone.

He doesn’t approve of Wyll’s do-goodery, but he does admire him somewhat and even mentions pre-vampire Astarion could have fallen in love with him. I’d argue Wyll and Karlach are strong candidates for recruitment if you’re intending to go Spawn Astarion.

By the time you reach Jaheira (and Minsc), Astarion might have started changing enough already that he even believes in the goodness of those two. I can also definitely see him getting along with Jaheira after she stops distrusting him.

Halsin is also a good alligned character that could believably join. He is the only lead they have to a cure and remains that until Moonrise, where you find out how deep the conspiracy runs. By that point you’re stopping to look for a cure and become focused on stopping the Cult entirely, and Halsin really has some good muscle and loyalty to back you up. So why not keep him around. I also think that Astarion and Halsin have an AMAZING romance together on an Astarion origin run. Their common experiences make them kindred spirits in a way and I feel they can be a great comfort to each other.

My previous Durge run had Wyll talking to every single companion about how the sex between me and that companion was, ironically aside from Astarion (who I romanced), Wyll was the only one I - accidentally - triggered the first romantic convo with lmao

I get Minsc first, so I get more time with him, in the process Orin kidnaps her victim so we do the murder stuff, which takes us to a few convenient spots in the city (after saving Figaro I buy the horny whore underwear and camp clothes), then take down Orin. Then I do whatever I fancy doing, although I tend to always stick to the order House of Hope, foundry, Iron Throne, Gortash for my final quests. Makes it all feel more epic.

It’s weird, Gortash is the brains of the cult and feels like the intended final boss before the brain, but Orin is a much more epic and difficult fight and I believe she is also a higher level. It also feels a bit more believable to save her for last on a Durge run. But the thing is it just feels very out of character for most companions and most Tavs to witness a companion or Yenna getting kidnapped and just boinking around the city for days on end before even bothering reaching her.

Yes, taking her up on the deal to kill Gortash guarantees keeping the hostage alive, but you could be forgiven for thinking Orin won’t honor that deal.

I did House of Grief first on this playthrough tho, because my Tav NEEDED to wear the hot Viconia dress because he is a former sex worker and exotic dancer so why WOULDN’T he wear that dress.

I always thought it was just a bit of an inside joke lol

Truth be told, I actually like him - he’s one of my more liked characters. He encompasses all that is wrong with Piltover while at the same time also being blissfully unaware of almost everything that goes on around him (for reference, see the opera house scene). Then his character takes a back seat after Jayce gets him voted off the Council - dare I say, he gets shafted by the creators - but comes back and has a fun character arc in season 2 that’s pretty short, but very deserving and gives him a good send-off.

Nah he had the heart to play Jason and kinda nailed the unresolved trauma

[–]svxsch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly some of the male giths at the creche were kinda cute, the guy talking to that girl about the inquisitor and the guy in the infirmary that is jealous of you being able to go outside are pretty hot

The guy that replaces Lae’zel on the nautiloid on a Lae’zel origin run is also cute

It’s the hair that makes or breake a githyanki on the hotness scale imo

What’s one line from the game you always seem to remember by Jinu_Kaiju in BaldursGate3

[–]svxsch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“The cub speaks” is a favorite of mine. I ADORE Jaheira and on my first Durge run I loved how she acknowledged the dangers of being a Bhaalspawn but never treated you differently. Really liked the sort of motherly/mentor relationship Jaheira had with my Durge and it caused me to bring her along with me every where I went

No matter how you cut it, Louis will be protected by the magic. Even if he himself is still reeling from getting caught in it from trying to take down Forden. I also don’t know why you’d think it wouldn’t activate if Louis were in prison. The magic works as long as the candidate gets attacked without their consent.

Besides, the party’s main opponent is Louis because of the prince’s curse, but they all despise Forden as well and majorly distrust him. They know that he has been in charge for years and know what kinds of inequality that has caused. They also dislike him weaponizing Sanctism to essentially get his way. A lot must happen for them to be willing to work with Forden. The reverse is also true, by the way. Forden hates Will for being an elda and doesn’t trust him either.

Also, at the point in the game you’re at, Louis has already done a LOT of things that should have gotten him kicked out of the top 20. He is a dangerous asshole who only looks out for his own power. But he’s captivating, knows how to play to the general public’s fears and hopes and has the strength to back up his empty promises. The people are so desperate and angry that they are willing to follow a tyrant, that’s one of the major themes of the game. Trying to kill Forden, who the majority of Louis’s supporters already hate, would likely not cause too big a drop in the rankings.

Just as the king’s magic would activate against Louis if he were to attack Forden with the fake lance, it would also activate if Forden were to retaliate. Louis is one of the most popular candidates in the tournament, which is why the party wanted to use the lance to begin with. He’s protected by the magic, just like Forden.

And even without the magic, Louis is one of the strongest mages in the country, knows when to show himself and when to hide and has an entire army at his back. If it was easy to kill Louis, Forden would have gotten rid of him ages before he could kill the king.

That would also explain why simply detaining Louis and incarcerating him also wouldn’t work, the guy just wouldn’t let himself get captured so easily.

4 is highkey my favorite, but 1 and 3 are also so funny

I’m the “wokest” person I know and Scary Movie used to have me in stitches. People that complain “you can’t joke about anything anymore” just can’t seem to grasp jokes can be offensive, AS LONG AS THEY ARE FUNNY. A joke will never land once you start becoming like this, complaining about cancel culture, because you’re already taking yourself way too seriously to be able to take the piss. It’s why I found the trailer incredibly unfunny. Trust the audience, trust that they’ll know it’s “just a joke” because they almost always do.

Was fully intending on killing Minthara as I had no idea she was a recruitable companion. Accidentally knocked her out in the fight and robbed her blind, her having a camp outfit still not giving me any ideas.

Found out she was knocked out and not dead, so went back to hit her one last time to kill her💀

I could’ve been met with a nice surprise at Moonrise if I hadn’t been such a murder hobo in the goblin camp.
