i love when a fictional character is a little pathetic. they’re a fully functioning, powerful being who stops at nothing except they’re also a little loser sometimes. it adds flavor.
Wait, i just noticed that your character aquires Astarion's weird little run if you end up getting yourself turned into a spawn.
So, it was specifically a vampire thing?
Please, they are so goofy.

Larian keeps updating the game and adding new content for free and yet there are people who can't show some basic respect and patience.
Anyway, i am really excited about these platonic hugs because my understanding is that we will be able to hug our companions as friends? 🥺
He is now indeed a cute albino bat. ♡
There's also a significant difference when compared to regular bats like the ones you can find at Cazador's palace.
Noooo, not only the issue with some dialogue lines ending before they are finished wasn't solved, but now it's even worse because the kissing animation doesn't trigger at all anymore after the patch. 😭
The healthiest thing you can do on social media is choosing to just not engage with whatever content makes you uncomfortable. Block accounts, mute tags.
Because harassing real living people over art or what they choose to do in fictional scenarios is what's causing real harm.
@octotrashh
All other obvious points aside, i really struggle to understand how people don't feel embarrassed about saying and requesting things like that in the first place...
It feels like the kinder and more inclusive someone is, the bolder people feel about taking advantage of it.
I want an expanded evil AA ending. I want to see him and his consort being horrible together. I want a masquerade ball.
I won't be writing any letters or petitions, but i can surely dream about it
How does a small adjustment to the facial expressions that makes them more neutral change the entire narrative or story...?
You can still view AA however you want or dislike that path.
More freedom for the player to determine their chatacter's reaction to the situation +
There's something really attractive about the idea of a character who was deprived of freedom shedding all restraints, including those of morality, killing their old self while reclaiming power at any cost and just... proceeding to do whatever they want unapologetically.
@dathomiri_witch
I saw once that someone was demanded to show police reports over this and this is such an awful and inappropriate thing to do.
Nobody owes anyone an explanation and shouldn't be forced to reveal personal information over their fictional preferences.
Waiting for Neil to finally lose patience and vanish off of the internet because that is exactly what is bound to happen if people don't start restraining their weird behaviour.
Can we wait for patch 7 to actually come out instead of complaining and whining about pandering while making assumptions about what is and isn't being added/fixed...?
@arthurianmaiden
They really created a scene with zero nudity that feels way hotter than the alternative that is significantly more explicit in nature, didn't they?
This scene is so perfect.
Every time an update comes out this place has a collective meltdown over some small change and it overshadows everything good that is also present because positive engagement doesn't matter
I hate being here
Looking at the state of bg3 fandom just makes me deeply sad, ngl.
I know the game and the stories it told held a deep meaning and was a source of comfort for many, only for us to somehow end up with a community where people continuously feel unsafe and discouraged.
@ghoulbrainz
Idk, him being this way makes perfect sense to me. Someone can be gifted academically, but then have difficulty making decisions and act kind of clueless and lost in life after spending so many years in a certain type of environment.
I just don't feel like paying mind to someone who makes hating something their entire personality and puts such title in their display name.
It's such an unserious attitude
Maybe engaging with a piece of media or playing a video game doesn't always have to turn into something profoundly deep.
Maybe it's okay to play with different ideas, pieces of lore, bend canon and simply have fun.
Whatever makes you happy and gets you through the day
To me, spawn Astarion is still a bit of a bastard who's not above enjoying some good old bloodshed and mischief even though he's learning to care about someone aside from himself and how to establish healthy boundaries.
He should be allowed to be messy and a little bit wicked
I really love the "let's go travelling together" ending for the ascendant path simply because of the idea of Astarion seeing different corners of the world basked in sunlight after being deprived of it for so long.
Forgetting for a bit about trying to fit into roles and -->
This place would have been better if people stopped projecting their personal issues onto the characters and making it everyone else's problem.
If something triggers your ptsd, the logical step would be to limit the chance of encountering content that triggers negative -->
Noooo, not only the issue with some dialogue lines ending before they are finished wasn't solved, but now it's even worse because the kissing animation doesn't trigger at all anymore after the patch. 😭
There's so much talk about people leaving the fandom and i know i expressed some sadness in regards to that too, but i also think this place could really start thriving because this means that most of the troublemakers will be gone soon as well.
@CardiganCarm2
This is indeed from the second failed dice roll during the bite scene, it's just a different view that you can get using free camera tools.
The whole thing definitely doesn't look as intense with the angles we got in the game...
I never understood the point in denying that some characters were capable of/did horrific things in the past before getting their chance at redemption. Doesn't that make the whole journey that much more rewarding?
I heard there are people who insist on denying that -->
Astarion being stuck in his bat form during the final speech is still one of the best things that happened during the epilogue.
I kinda love how there's always some kind of bug that unintentionally makes everything that much funnier.
I sometimes get the impression that some of those loud hardcore spawnstarion fans secretly and desperately want everything that the other ending offers, but of course, they want it in a way that would still allow them to feel and act morally superior.
I will never tell people what they should or shouldn't do with fictional characters, but this is a real person who doesn't need to be involved in your nonsense.
Saw a photo of someone getting the icon of the "Just a Nibble" achievement as a tattoo and uhhhh...
That's actually something i could see myself getting as well
There's probably nothing that makes me angrier in relation to all that fighting over fictional preferences than people making assumptions that if someone enjoys certain things in fiction, it must mean they never experienced abuse in real life.
Shut up. Just shut up.
Okay, but the idea of feeling the blood coursing through both bodies at the same time and heartbeats mingling together (the way it was also described in iwtv) sounds... deeply intimate
AA no longer needs to drink from his consort to sustain himself, but does it for the pleasure of it all, also for intimate bonding and comfort, send tweet.
An act of becoming one where nothing else but them exists in the moment.
No, this can no longer simply be called "the drama" when it's a case of someone being harassed for months and more than one person being pushed to their limits with little to no evidence of them doing anything that would warrant such treatment or couldn't have been remedied -->
