I've done three origin runs (once as Gale and twice as Astarion). While I'd love to have them voiced, it's actually not that bad imo 'cause you still get to hear banter.
It is so nice that it was changed throughout. After all, I figure real adventurers would have to change clothes often or they'd stink up to the heavens.
i shouldn't really be watching this, but i can't help myself lol it's not exactly spoilerish for me, i'm soon to finish my second tav playthrough, of which i had a difficult decision on who to chose between astarion or gale .. did and didn't go well went with both until i had to chose. that was the most difficult choice of my tav's life ooof, i went with astarion.. again..🤦♀ anyway, for my next, i decided to do an astarion or gale origin bloodweave run but haven't made up my mind who's point of view to play first, but, thank you, thank you for this. i love this game so much i love just watching the scenes, it's not just game its a marvellous movie i can watch over and over again 🖤
I feel you, I think I did something like 5-6 runs romancing Astarion (all as Durge) until I finally romanced Gale (as Durge). And I'm glad I did. Gale's romance is so sweet. I've enjoyed both Origin runs so far (just made it to lower city). I can't really say which one I prefer, and I haven't yet done their act3 companion quests. It's been very interesting to do two playthroughs side by side. I play a session as Astarion then next I play the same things as Gale. It has been interesting to experience Astarion's backstory as him, and I have always enjoyed Gale's interactions with Tara and those camp moments when he ponders his current situation. One thing I have to mention is that Origin characters suffer from the same thing as Durge: the lack of companion reactivity.
finally, a bloodweave run :D thanks for making/sharing this. I have a question, have you already finished the run? if so, what kind of ending have you chosen? if not, what ending are you going for? looking forward to seeing the rest of the run, if you choose to make/share it!
I haven't finished the runs yet but I'm currently in act 3. Act 2 vids will be out next week and act 3 vids hopefully a few weeks after that :) As for the ending, I'm sucker for sweet, happy romance so Astarion will stay as a spawn and Gale as a human, but I haven't yet decided whether they will get married, stay together without getting married or go to the Underdark. I most likely will record a few different versions and share the ones I'm not using in the main vid as separate videos.
In act 1 the artefact is always close by. If you don't wake Shadowheart up on the beach, after your first long rest she can be found in the grove until you approach the goblin camp (there's a cutscene and you meet her, and if you refuse her she will stay at the goblin camp). If Shadowheart dies (on the nautiloid or you kill her), you can loot the artefact. If you leave act 1 without the artefact or Shadowheart there's a camp scene where your character realises they have it. Your character will always end up having the artefact by the end of act 1, whether Shadowheart is alive or not.
I used tons of mods 😅 Is there anything particular you'd like to know? I guess I can try to listen though that will take a while. Edit: Actually it didn't take long after all lol So here's the list. - Witcher Outfits - Dettlaff - Astarion Corset Clothes - Unique Starter Robes for Gale - Astarion's Gear - Pirates and Rebels - Gale's Concept Art Armor - Druidic Soldier Armor WIP - Mystical Fashions - SR Legacies - Astarion's Vampire Outfits BY REN - Gothic Wardrobe (gone from both Nexus and the modder's archive) - Ranger Gear M - Inferno Adept Gear Set - Karlach Epilogue Outfit for Bodytype2 - Vestments of the Faithful - Cambion and Gith Armor - More Mage Gear - Extra Gear - Goblin Armors - Bard Centered Custom Outfit (now in "Harmony Habiliment") - Elven Boots and Bracers I think that covers everything in act1.
I see you've got Gale's man-bun. Good choice! Love that hair mod.
I absolutely love that mod. Gale has always looked good to me but that hairstyle makes him perfect.
Absolutely amazing. Been wanting to do an Astarion playthrough but not hearing him talk kills me, so now I can see it :3 ty for sharing
