Edit: JOIN THE NEWLY CREATED DISCORD! discord.com/invite/2dMTfFk6pv Recent Edit: for SPAWN ASTARION -> th-cam.com/video/Wu1T7s6Icyw/w-d-xo.html - at the time of me recording this video, his reaction was missing from the game! Chapters in description! Tsk'va, this was quite the recording task. I felt so bad breaking (most) of their hearts 😞, hope you'll find this interesting! Side note, does any of you actually ever betray their in game partners with Mizora? Update: as I've seen people asking how did I get Minthara and Wyll (and Karlach) in the same run, here's the link to my guide for it th-cam.com/video/_RoLMzcqZ9U/w-d-xo.html - and no, it does not involve any exploits or mods ^^ Also, bonus, here's the full *romance* scene with Mizora th-cam.com/video/XGFgsESplDM/w-d-xo.html
I mean I did it cause I knew Astarion wouldn’t care. Lol and I did Emperor and everyone was apparently so traumatized they didn’t say anything about it. If this wasn’t a video game with fictional characters I wouldn’t even if Astarion said he didn’t care, but it is a game and it only affects like the one scene afterwards so might as well IMO.
I did It, because i want to see the scene, Mizora is very very sexy, but at the end, i reload the game. But if your question is, if i can't made that, i don't go with Mizora, she's a devil, obviously she doesnt think about any good.
If you choose the more asshole-ish responses to Gale, he snaps back with "don't expect me to take this lying down - that's more your style from what I've seen" 💀
tbh i think mizora’s intent was to hurt him no matter who you’re romancing. especially if he tried making a move on you and got rejected. he randomly disapproves multiple times while you’re mid-cutscene which makes me think mizora is showing him or talking to him (via his sending stone eye) AS you’re having sex!!
@@cupkneeYup, if you back out in the middle she straight up says that she wanted to sleep with you just to see the look on Wyll's face, she's f*cking with Wyll by f*cking Tav
Most of the companions: "WTF is wrong with you?" Shadowheart: "now, a healthy non-monogamous relationship requires communication. Let me know if you're going to be with anyone else." Halsin: "ok then." Astarion: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Yeah, the subtext of Shadowheart is "wtf is wrong with you" but tries to play it off cool. She's got a lot of acidic remarks there - calling Mizora "interior goods" and saying you're no "swan" and all. Basically, "I guess I'm dating a cheating asshole, OK lets play with the hand I'm dealt with."
@@Saretz For sure! Shadowheart is really good at wordplay - she cuts right through you and leaves you feeling awful while maintaining her decorum and dignity. And her line about the stories she could tell from her past? She is basically saying "you wanna play? I can beat you at your own game!"
Pretty sure that he's only a camp companion by popular demand. And also pretty sure that demand arose cause of horniness. So my guess is he's like this not because it's the original idea, but because he's literally there for being dorky but hot.
He expresses himself in a very human, relatable way. Many people, including myself, experienced something similar in life (obviously not being betrayed with a succubus), that's why it hits hard
If you choose the dialogue option that he surely thought about Mizora too he says no and asks why he would want anyone but you. I only did it to see the reaction and reloaded anyway, it still made me feel bad
Lae'zel hiding her sadness with anger is heartbreaking ☹️ Romancing Laezel is the cutest storyline ever, seeing her open up to you and relearning everything she knew about life, beauty, nature, kindness.. it's all so amazingly written
@@jacktrades5103 Truly. The way she speaks to your character describing how she feels around him or her is freaking poetic. If my dragonborn could blush he'd do that while listening to all that.
I've never done this personally but if you say its a mistake to Astarion, he sort of snaps at you before going back to saying he just wanted to be included. I like the theory that he's not nearly as easy-going as he lets on when it comes to the relationship.
@@NC-ij9rb keep in mind though, the one in video is ascended Asterion, as currently the alternative is bugged/lacks a dialogue in response to this, so, while we can't know for sure, you are probably correct, or at least I also expect that
@@NC-ij9rb if you wait until you finish Astarion’s quest, and convince him not to ascend, he is totally into having an orgy with the drow twins and halsin. He just needs to resolve his questline/trauma before he can go back to being his happy go lucky (and sexy!) self
@jza88 um. he dissociates during the drow twins scene. yeah, he's enthusiastic at first, but the trauma isn't gone just because his quest is finished..
Yes, I was like, “but why the disapproval? It’s not like you were involved!” Then his part came, and he said “but we danced!..”, and I understood that he is just an innocent heart who thinks that holding hands is enough to establish relationship. I mean, sometimes it really is enough to share beautiful and special connection, but… 😅 this was too much, coming from a warlock who happily signed contract with Hells and had half-devil as his patron. He shouldn’t be the one judging!
@@Beading_Kate wyll disapproves with sleeping with her regardless of if you are in a relationship with her. Mizora by this point in the story has literally used Wylls dad as blackmail material to try and get Wyll to stay in her service, and also she just generally treats him like shit. Of course he won’t be happy hearing you slept with her.
@@Saretz “I signed a contract with a demon to save my hometown from destruction “ and “I fucked an evil demon who actively torments a close friend of mine, because she’s hot” are two very different things. Wyll is not being a hypocrite here.
Astarion is so much like the Joker in Batman. His real self is so distant from his persona that you honestly don't know if he's legitimately thrilled, or if he's mentally setting a timer for how long you have left to be alive.
He seems genuine to me. I think if he was truly upset there would be more of a tell, facial expression or maybe an insight check. I get the feeling that Astarion isn't sexually possessive because sex means next to nothing to him as far as companionship goes.
In Summary Karlach: What the fuck? Why Mizora of all people? Halsin: Can't tell you to deny nature. Lae'zel: Fuck. You. Gale: I THOUGHT WHAT WE HAD WAS SPECIAAAAAAAAL!! Minthara: I've killed better lovers for less. Wyll: Are you fucking serious? We *danced* . Shadowheart: Hope you had fun, just don't forget I have needs too. Astarion: Bestie! Tell me *everything* !
Eh, Shadowheart is PISSED, but she's a not direct person. She throws a TON of shade at you and Mizora though. Her whole line about - "Yeah, I used to sleep around a TON - I have SO many stories I could tell you - and I forget most of it!" Is very much a "I can play that game too - see how YOU like it, Asshole!" kinda reaction.
" Or is your tounge too burnt from exploring her *Hellhole* " God dam minthara got bars I also love the epic music going in elfsong while you utterly crush peoples hearts
Minthara really does have some of the best lines. She is a person I’d love to have as a friend, but a relationship with her would be complicated as she would honestly just intimidate the hells out of me.
I know a lot of people love astarion VA, and I agree he did a really good job! But for some reason, I find Gale voice to be better. Idk, it's like he has better voice and emotional range? He always nailed it when it comes to emotional scenes.
@@Saretz Oh without a doubt, you can even hear the hurt in her voice for a second. Though she definitely appears to be the type to chop off your...uhm...'family jewels' if it weren't for her needing you to be in top condition in the battle to come. She still might after the tadpole business is taken care of.....best not to think about it.😅😨
@@shibernyan2009 most definitely not a choice I'd ever pick especially when romancing her, for as you just mentioned, I dread to think what would happen to my Tav into the future after the game is over 😅
Shadowheart saying Mizora's temptation is just "a free sample for inferior goods" and Mizora being slightly annoyed is never not going to be the best comeback ever at a homewrecker and a cheater.
Shadowheart's "positive" response to this is actually really sad when you realize she was an innocent child forcibly inducted to a death-and-sex cult with her memories altered against her will
@@Saretz Very much. Shes really horny one on that path. Even on our first kiss she bit our lips. Plus shes really active one. My tav might want to run away at some point xD
is that how you interpreted what she said? i didnt know it was meant in this way. that is very sad. did they really abuse her in That kinda way? i guess listening to what she said after reading your comment does make it sound like it. thats really sad.
Karlach’s another one who I feel says yes to the poly choices even though her tone says she’s not really down for it. I can’t do this to her the betrayal in her voice if you do is just too strong
@@shanelbryant5638 she says yes, untill you actually commit in act 2, at that point she tells you specifically that it won't happen if you aren't exclusive
i couldn’t bring myself to do this. i had romanced Astarion but i adored Karlach and while Wyll isn’t a favorite companion of mine, i was on good terms with him and knew what Mizora was putting him through. not to mention, in my playthrough, she purposefully let Wyll’s father die. sleeping with her is just a huge slap to the face for both him and Karlach.
I thought I replied you but I don't see my message anymore o.o, I'll type it again: "And I dare say, not just a slap to their faces, a full on stab to their hearts, through their back, with a good amount of salt poured on top, for good measure. This is definitely not a choice I usually pick in my runs"
Same, I also had an affair with Astarion and I refused Mizora this offer because to me she looks like a b1tch who threatened my friends, I didn't kick her out just because she could be useful in battle. And I basically couldn't betray Astarion, even if he says he doesn't mind, it's not right for me, it still seems to me that he says this so as not to lose Tav and doesn't really want to share. And by the way, this dialogue with Mizora happened during that long rest when I was supposed to see the scene at the grave, I just looked at her with furious eyes with thoughts.. NO, F#CK YOU, F#CK YOU. HISSSSSS
@@rin590 Astarion is kinda bugged though, this is his ascended dialogue, currently non-ascended Astarion cuts away after "I hope I'm not interrupting", so it's hard to know what he would say, as they have way different personalities
@@honey-hunterslimefanno.3257 comes along at some point in Act III, i don’t remember exactly what triggers it since i’ve only been through Act III once so far. just keep up with Wyll’s storyline (recruit Karlach, let him become half-devil, rescue Mizora at the end of Act II, learn about Wyll’s father and see him in the city with Gortash, either have Wyll break his pact with Mizora or save his father, and it should come up at some point.
It's clear the writers worked really hard to give everyone a unique perspective on sex and relationships, if you look at this and things like asking for a foursome with the drow twins or reactions to you becoming a mind-flayer. Romancing partners in games has been a thing like this for a long time, but this is another area where BG3 really goes the extra mile.
@@silentghost751 You realize not everyone thinks like you, right? Keep things sacred all you want, in your life, in your head... And the rest of us will enjoy the game.
After having the opportunity to kill Raphael in his home in the Hells, it's *very* upsetting that we don't get to go to Avernus and murder Mizora as well. I'd drop any quest I was doing to be able to watch Karlach peel that wench's wings off.
@@NeedsContent That's actually wonderful and reflects how she is . Sure , cheating is bad but it isn't the end of the world and she can clearly still see past that . When i look at all companions, she truly is the one who feels the most genuinely good .
@@julienkouassi617 Ha, simp. But for Karlach Im in the same boat. She is such a genuine and good person with the added bonus of being as hotter then the 9 hells, literally.
If you romance Astarion full and proper/he loves you at this stage he has a very different reaction. The writing in this game is so good, and the nuance of the characters, especially Astarion, is even better
You managed to get the full spawn Astarion dialogue in this scenario? How! Cause I tried many different approaches but the only working one was the one in video, from ascended Astarion
It was actually surprising how Shadowheart and Lae'zel's approach to monogamy ended up being the opposite of what i expected. Lae'zel taking such a casual approach to sex in the beginning and Shadowheart taking it slow set my expectations up to be the other way around, with Shadowheart being monogamous and Lae'zel being polyamorous. But they went and flipped my expectations around. Kind of love that.
In interviews the writers said they were really trying to flip people's expectations of romance in games, because usually you spend the whole game romancing the character and sleep with them at the end. Instead in BG3 you usually sleep together first, then try to figure out your relationship after. So much thought and care into one game.
Let's pretend-believe that he did a "mind flayer" thing and wiped their memories of the event. Although I think in all honesty that portion of the scene where they show up and look disgusted was just added for comedic purpose
Don't ask me how I know, but the emperor literally says he's gonna wipe their memories. Halsin's shocked af face meant if I wasn't already going to reload (WHO KNEW "PERHAPS" MEANT YES 💀🫣) I would have reloaded. Joke was on me, I had to redo 1.5 hours of content 😅🫣
Idk karlach and Lea’ zel kinda wrenched my heart out karlach is just pure sadness and Lea’ zel trying to hide her sadness with anger just hits a chord for me
Truly didn't expect Minthara of all people to value love, loyalty and monogamy the most. I love her, but I just couldn't slaughter a grove full of innocent people to gain her companionship in any of my playtroughs. Karlach fans getting their fix: ☺️ Minthara fans waiting for their fix: ☠️💀
I have a guide on my channel on how to recruit her without killing the grove (sorta), and I did 2 playthroughs with her, one being a good character, so I kinda expected that reaction from her, after getting to know her more. Still wish we had more time and content with her though
@@gagapandega1668 exactly, and also she doesn't open up blindly to anyone, trust is very important to her (which makes sense, considering Drow society)
They nailed the variety of people with different attachment styles and views on relationship. Karlach: Deeply hurt and confused, but trying to save face. Letting you off the hook. Halsin: No judgement, but turning it on himselves by trying to become "good enough". Lae'zel: Hurt and disappointment towards herself for opening up and being vulnerable disguised as anger. (Honestly the most heartbreaking to me, relateable to anyone who has a tough exterior due to their life experiences) Minthara: Actual anger and wounded ego by not understanding of why the person you cheated with was worth it in the first place. Gale: Openly pouring his heart out and speaking his mind as there is strenght in vulnerablility by making you feel guilty. Wyll: Being more shocked and caught of guard than anything else. Just a genuine "But why?" Shadowheart: Being shady by playing it off cool and more so antagonizing the person you cheated with as a side piece. But also reminding you she could do the same and you should belong with her first. There is some backbone and jealousy behind the forefront of acting ok. Astarion: Excited and encouraging in a way that almost admires you, but being lowkey desperate and vulnerable by sneaking the "please dont forget about me" in the end. Its the type of "Jk, not jk" that does expose some genuine care and attachment. I relate to Lae'zel and Gale the most personaly.
Tbh I think that's probably the implications behind it rather than the act, if that makes sense? If you assumed your relationship was open, then - hey, Astarion's fine with that, even if he would've preferred you'd asked him first. From a betrayal standpoint that's just a miscommunication on your/his end. A 'we should've cleared that up first, but ah well'. But if you'd assumed your relationship was -closed-, then did it anyway? That is hurtful. Astarion is happy to be in an open relationship - but you assumed you weren't, and then still decided to betray his trust anyway. That shows his feelings (even if you were misunderstanding them) weren't more important than a fling. I think Astarion is both completely happy to be in an open relationship -and- hurt by you if you thought you were betraying him.
Shadowheart shows her distain in a very interesting way. She's not direct - but MAN is she pissed!! Basically saying "Oh, you want to play around - let me tell you all the stories of me sleeping with other people! And those are only the ones I remember - See how YOU like it!" She also calls Mizora "Inferior Goods" and insults your loyalty pretty hard "If I wanted a Swan..."
I thought of including it, but I wanted to keep this one strictly for romanced options (although I did add his subsequent comment to it, which I "think" plays in that case as well? Not too sure)
Thank you for uploading this!!! I never intended to trigger any of these scenes myself, but I was very curious about the reactions they’d each have. I wasn’t expecting Shadowheart’s at all, never romanced her but I honestly adore her. Seeing Wyll’s and Karlach’s especially breaks my heart though.
I knew what Shadowheart and Minthara's reactions were, but I was always curious about Karlach given their history. I have to say that it's fitting to her character as well.
I avoid spoilers of this game as much as possible. But I don't mind watching videos like this. Because I just can't bring myself to cheat or breakup with the character I'm romancing in my playthrough
Been there Gale, and as tempting as it is I wouldn't recommend heading to the nearest tavern and asking for the strongest drink they have. It might make you care less about it, but it won't make you feel better
I wish there was a lore friendly dialog option for saying " I was just hitting that and then ghosting her a$$. Going to ignore any carrier pigeons or magical letters she sends. It's going to be hilarious."
Knowing Astarion like I do, romancing him thoroughly, this scene hurts. He's hiding so much, playing it off with misdirection and flirting sass, he can't be honest with you here, his defensives belies his hurt.
I’m shocked Karlach forgives Tav. She’s too pure for this world 😢 I’m romancing Astarion and figured he wouldn’t care since he’s okay with Halsin, but I only got the “hope I’m not interrupting” part. Must be because I hadn’t finished his personal quest. Is this spawn Astarion? Does he say anything different if he’s ascended? Also don’t know much about Mithra since she’s dead in my game, but I’m kinda surprised she breaks up with Tav. I guess it’s a slight to her drow superiority complex? Lae’zel I guess just doesn’t wanna share? My friend is romancing her and told me she said she refuses to share at the drow twins so I guess this makes sense. Man I wish she had a scene like Wyll if you romance the Emperor, but it’s like that scene gives everyone so much PTSD no one mentions it lol.
Yeah Astarion is kinda bugged at the moment, that extra dialogue only triggers with his ascended version, took me half a day to figure out 😅. And yes, Karlach shatters my heart everytime 🥲
@@mel-burnes I'm not too sure about that one, I wonder what would happen if you ONLY ever romanced him and ended the game with him, but that's not something I'm too eager to explore xd, not a fan of his character
Minthara=wow you can hear how pissed she is. Her VA just keeps getting better and better the more I hear her speak Wyll= Idk his reaction def hit me the most. I was like nuuu poor baby (I like him but wasn't a fan..yet) Gale=😢😢😢 Astarion=Typical fantabulous vampy bae reaction Fucking Shadowheart calling Mizora "inferior goods" 🤣🤣🤣
I like that Mizora has some nasty special comments for most companions: - Wyll: Nobody of us has a leash (Wyll has one) - Shart: Look who is sucking from the Shadow - Astarion: I must have drawn more blood than I intended - Laezel: Unlike you, I know just where to bite - Halsin: Have your biceps grown Basically she has a different comment for every one, but those above stuck with me.
@@elenalizabeth while that's the most likely explanation, I like to think that they just added that scene for comedic purpose since it has 0 repercussions xD
@@Saretz more like they all woke up before Tav and were like “okay, so we all know Tav is basically the only sane one of us here and they are basically the glue holding us all together to stop us from becoming deranged murderhobos, so I think we should all just collectively agree to pretend that we never saw Tav mind-banging the squid”
I only did this with my Bard playthrough where I was romancing Shadowheart. By the end of that entire adventure I think she was like a long-suffering girlfriend of an irresponsible rock-star who will sleep with anything with 2 legs and a pulse (pulse semi-optional) and putting up with it because while he may be an irresponsible philanderer he "really gets her", so her reaction kind of fit.
Just a heads up, the current dialogue files for Astarion is only for Astarion if he Ascended during his final quest; it appears to be incomplete on his end for pre-quest or Spawn-ending Astarion.
This is a really shitty thing to do to all of them, but especially Wyll and Karlach. Halsin and Shadowheart are surprisingly cool with it though, I'm pretty sure Astarion is only pretending not to care though.
It’s so nice to see you replying to as many comments as you can :3 ,, getting on topic though, Karlach and Gale felt like a stab to the heart, but i just couldn’t help myself when Wyll said “but we danced… :(“ i couldn’t take him seriously xD
And I'll keep doing that so long I'm physically able to, or the situation gets out of hand :p "But we danced" is really sad when placed in context, but it couldn't be helped, it turned into a meme 😂
When I got the Mizora proposition, I was romancing Shadowheart and was trying to see if there was an option to get her consent. Luckily she just has a snarky response to Mizora rather than breaking up with Tav
On one playthrough I had a very high approval with Astarion. I don't know what the factor is but he *never brought it up* even though we were 'together'. There was the scene where he found us together but the second part never triggered. In my head I imagined he just let it go if you had high enough approval - either not wanting to talk about it out of fear of conflict or fearing you'll choose her and maybe it would come back up later. It never did so I clicked on this video out of curiosity. I think I prefer what happened in my save and my own headcanon. The man spends over half the game dealing with his sexual trauma and abandonment issues. Personally some dialogue in act 3 after you get closer feels like he's trying too hard to not be that person anymore and make me sad. Like this one.
Rest assured, you aren't wrong. The one in video is ascended Astarion, currently spawn is bugged and like you said, has no dialogue, so we can't know what he'd say in that case, yet
I was worried something like this would happen with Gale when I chose to do the scene with Harlep, since it’s in character for my tav. I headcanon that he’s still a bit oblivious, flirtatiously loving Gale but his past make him unaware of the distinction between sexual and romantic relationships.
@@nathanfivecoate5848 I am pure and innocent, matter of fact, I have yet not seen the dialogue that supposedly plays once he starts using your body for his pleasure 👀
Shadowheart straight up casually roasting Mizora and she doesn’t even have a clever comeback…Sharr initiates graduation must be just a pure roast session xD
i actually cant believe Karlach forgives you in this group Halsin and Astarion make sense Halsin views sex as natural as deciding what to have for breakfast and Astarions whole life unlife has been seduction and sleeping around, and im surprised at Shadowhearts confidence talking down to Mizora but Karlach after everything the devils put her through just forgives you
Shadowheart normally : *heart eyes* Lea'zel normally : "I'm not above drowning you." Shadowheart if you cheat on her : "If I knew you needed a leash, I might have put one on you." Lea'zel if you cheat on her : "Yes, I'm going to cry myself a river in a literal sense but I'm going to use it to definitely drown you."
Shadowheart is just cool with everything apparently Want to bang Halsin? Sure but she wants details Want to go with the Drow? Happily joins in Screw a demon? Mild annoyance you just didn't ask first
Lol I don't think you've ever been in a relationship with a woman before. She was definitely not fine with Tav going behind her back and was hurt, but makes light of the situation because she doesn't want to lose you.
Yeah or maybe she's the kind of woman that plays along to appear cool, fun and uncomplicated, maybe because she is afraid to lose you and builds up subconcious Ressentment towards sou, which eventually wears her down
My character is all for threesomes and polyamorous activities, but the thing is it meant going behind Shadowheart’s back-which i will not do. If there was an option or opportunity to ask Shadowheart and then let Mizora know she could sleep with both of us, then sure. But the lack of an option for transparency kept me from going through with it and taking Mizora up on her offer.
@@Saretz i think asking your partner's consent would take the fun out of it for her considering how she basically ensures that your partner catches you
@@mel-burnes there's an option where she says it'll be kept secret, but it seems to be either bugged or just a lie 🤥 (not that I condone cheating in real life obviously, that disgusts me)
like everyone else is like "How COULD you, we had something Special" except shadowheart who is like "next time ask and/or let me watch" but Astarion is like "OOooOoo this is SPICY! Spill. The. TEA. Darling"
Astarion says he wants to join but he's not into polyamory. Case and point the drow twins. I just know he's lying here. Him saying he wanna join is his way of asking you to consult him first if you sleep with someone else. Coz if you're gonna do the nasty with someone else, at least he's there so that you won't forget about him or fall out of love with him completely. Which is just heartbreaking. He can't say no to you. He can't even set boundaries for your relationship 😢😢😢 this hurts 😭😭😭
It is to be noted though that Astarion's dialogue is partially bugged, as this one specifically is only available if you ascend him, non-ascended Astarion cuts away after the "I hope I'm not interrupting part", so we don't really know what he would say
I think it’s not that he isn’t into polyamory and more he’s not ready for his body to be used yet. He says he’s okay with having an open relationship with Tav and Halsin, but he’s not ready to share his body with Halsin yet. There is a difference between the two situations here.

Halsin: "ok then."
Astarion: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Halsin turned challenge mode on
Yeah, the subtext of Shadowheart is "wtf is wrong with you" but tries to play it off cool. She's got a lot of acidic remarks there - calling Mizora "interior goods" and saying you're no "swan" and all. Basically, "I guess I'm dating a cheating asshole, OK lets play with the hand I'm dealt with."
@@rogen8094 as I said under a different reply, from the first few lines of dialogue alone, I thought she wanted to murder me xd
@@Saretz For sure! Shadowheart is really good at wordplay - she cuts right through you and leaves you feeling awful while maintaining her decorum and dignity. And her line about the stories she could tell from her past? She is basically saying "you wanna play? I can beat you at your own game!"

@@TVMAN1997 True true
Pretty sure that he's only a camp companion by popular demand. And also pretty sure that demand arose cause of horniness. So my guess is he's like this not because it's the original idea, but because he's literally there for being dorky but hot.
@@Khindrex That's a great guess to be fair
Gale sounds incredibly hurt, I felt bad listening to his dialogue.
He expresses himself in a very human, relatable way. Many people, including myself, experienced something similar in life (obviously not being betrayed with a succubus), that's why it hits hard

Yep, and yep 😞😞
She speaks in poems too, the warrior-poet. 😢
@@jacktrades5103 Truly. The way she speaks to your character describing how she feels around him or her is freaking poetic. If my dragonborn could blush he'd do that while listening to all that.
I've never done this personally but if you say its a mistake to Astarion, he sort of snaps at you before going back to saying he just wanted to be included. I like the theory that he's not nearly as easy-going as he lets on when it comes to the relationship.
Interesting! It does fit with his demeanor indeed, especially after he opens up to you
He says he wanna join but we know he's not into polyamory just like with the drow twins. That's how we know he's completely lying here 😢
@@NC-ij9rb keep in mind though, the one in video is ascended Asterion, as currently the alternative is bugged/lacks a dialogue in response to this, so, while we can't know for sure, you are probably correct, or at least I also expect that
@@NC-ij9rb if you wait until you finish Astarion’s quest, and convince him not to ascend, he is totally into having an orgy with the drow twins and halsin. He just needs to resolve his questline/trauma before he can go back to being his happy go lucky (and sexy!) self
@jza88 um. he dissociates during the drow twins scene. yeah, he's enthusiastic at first, but the trauma isn't gone just because his quest is finished..
I can’t help but chuckle a little whenever the just “Wyll disapproves”
xD
Yes, I was like, “but why the disapproval? It’s not like you were involved!”
Then his part came, and he said “but we danced!..”, and I understood that he is just an innocent heart who thinks that holding hands is enough to establish relationship. I mean, sometimes it really is enough to share beautiful and special connection, but… 😅 this was too much, coming from a warlock who happily signed contract with Hells and had half-devil as his patron. He shouldn’t be the one judging!
@@Beading_Kate Wyll would be the person to tell you "Do as I say not as I do"
@@Beading_Kate wyll disapproves with sleeping with her regardless of if you are in a relationship with her.
Mizora by this point in the story has literally used Wylls dad as blackmail material to try and get Wyll to stay in her service, and also she just generally treats him like shit. Of course he won’t be happy hearing you slept with her.
@@Saretz “I signed a contract with a demon to save my hometown from destruction “ and “I fucked an evil demon who actively torments a close friend of mine, because she’s hot” are two very different things. Wyll is not being a hypocrite here.
"Source of my bruises. Only allies. Nothing more." Damn, that one hurt.
A lot, hurt, a lot...
Astarion is so much like the Joker in Batman. His real self is so distant from his persona that you honestly don't know if he's legitimately thrilled, or if he's mentally setting a timer for how long you have left to be alive.
Keep in mind though, the one in video is ascended Astarion, basically another person
He seems genuine to me. I think if he was truly upset there would be more of a tell, facial expression or maybe an insight check. I get the feeling that Astarion isn't sexually possessive because sex means next to nothing to him as far as companionship goes.
@@Beelzineff Anything is possible, but until they fix spawn Astarion's dialogue we'll never know for sure :c
@@BeelzineffWell since it’s VA Astarion than there is no way he could be upset since he’s a true vampire now 🤷

i couldn’t bring myself to do this. i had romanced Astarion but i adored Karlach and while Wyll isn’t a favorite companion of mine, i was on good terms with him and knew what Mizora was putting him through. not to mention, in my playthrough, she purposefully let Wyll’s father die. sleeping with her is just a huge slap to the face for both him and Karlach.
I thought I replied you but I don't see my message anymore o.o, I'll type it again:
"And I dare say, not just a slap to their faces, a full on stab to their hearts, through their back, with a good amount of salt poured on top, for good measure. This is definitely not a choice I usually pick in my runs"
Same, I also had an affair with Astarion and I refused Mizora this offer because to me she looks like a b1tch who threatened my friends, I didn't kick her out just because she could be useful in battle.
And I basically couldn't betray Astarion, even if he says he doesn't mind, it's not right for me, it still seems to me that he says this so as not to lose Tav and doesn't really want to share. And by the way, this dialogue with Mizora happened during that long rest when I was supposed to see the scene at the grave, I just looked at her with furious eyes with thoughts.. NO, F#CK YOU, F#CK YOU. HISSSSSS
@@rin590 Astarion is kinda bugged though, this is his ascended dialogue, currently non-ascended Astarion cuts away after "I hope I'm not interrupting", so it's hard to know what he would say, as they have way different personalities
How does it even happen?
@@honey-hunterslimefanno.3257 comes along at some point in Act III, i don’t remember exactly what triggers it since i’ve only been through Act III once so far. just keep up with Wyll’s storyline (recruit Karlach, let him become half-devil, rescue Mizora at the end of Act II, learn about Wyll’s father and see him in the city with Gortash, either have Wyll break his pact with Mizora or save his father, and it should come up at some point.
Thank you for your sacrifice. I like seeing options in the game that I would never otherwise see. I just can't even in fiction!

It's clear the writers worked really hard to give everyone a unique perspective on sex and relationships, if you look at this and things like asking for a foursome with the drow twins or reactions to you becoming a mind-flayer. Romancing partners in games has been a thing like this for a long time, but this is another area where BG3 really goes the extra mile.

that "Wyll disapproves" hits me every time 🤣
😁
If you romance Astarion full and proper/he loves you at this stage he has a very different reaction. The writing in this game is so good, and the nuance of the characters, especially Astarion, is even better
You managed to get the full spawn Astarion dialogue in this scenario? How! Cause I tried many different approaches but the only working one was the one in video, from ascended Astarion
What does he say? I couldn't bring myself to do this because...well, Mizora is awful lmao
Spawn Astarion is still broken to this day, that dialogue just cuts off and you get thrown away from camp
It was actually surprising how Shadowheart and Lae'zel's approach to monogamy ended up being the opposite of what i expected. Lae'zel taking such a casual approach to sex in the beginning and Shadowheart taking it slow set my expectations up to be the other way around, with Shadowheart being monogamous and Lae'zel being polyamorous. But they went and flipped my expectations around. Kind of love that.
Game's full of surprises
In interviews the writers said they were really trying to flip people's expectations of romance in games, because usually you spend the whole game romancing the character and sleep with them at the end. Instead in BG3 you usually sleep together first, then try to figure out your relationship after. So much thought and care into one game.
@@courtneystampcrab I believe they succeeded, in fact, I wish there were more 😞
Karlach's acting is so freaking good! I felt so bad seeing her like that. ♥
I know right? Heart shattering
doing this to Wyll while you’re with him is on another level
And that's why nobody should! With any of them😞
Karlachs voice breaking is like a dagger to my heart goddamn

"Perhaps I'll need to redouble my efforts."

A mean the one who has more tools to be creative to compete is Halsing and whoever has disguiself as a cantrip.

Reloaded a save to try out of curiosity, Karlach’s completely genuine despair made that an immediate exit out.
As it should be
And yet if you sleep with the mindflayer everyone pretends they saw nothing. Including the party member you are in a relationship with.
Let's pretend-believe that he did a "mind flayer" thing and wiped their memories of the event. Although I think in all honesty that portion of the scene where they show up and look disgusted was just added for comedic purpose
i like to think they just thought it was a bad dream lol
@@cupknee could very well be as well lmao
Don't ask me how I know, but the emperor literally says he's gonna wipe their memories. Halsin's shocked af face meant if I wasn't already going to reload (WHO KNEW "PERHAPS" MEANT YES 💀🫣) I would have reloaded. Joke was on me, I had to redo 1.5 hours of content 😅🫣
Idk karlach and Lea’ zel kinda wrenched my heart out karlach is just pure sadness and Lea’ zel trying to hide her sadness with anger just hits a chord for me
Truly didn't expect Minthara of all people to value love, loyalty and monogamy the most. I love her, but I just couldn't slaughter a grove full of innocent people to gain her companionship in any of my playtroughs.
Karlach fans getting their fix: ☺️
Minthara fans waiting for their fix: ☠️💀
I have a guide on my channel on how to recruit her without killing the grove (sorta), and I did 2 playthroughs with her, one being a good character, so I kinda expected that reaction from her, after getting to know her more. Still wish we had more time and content with her though
Minthara valuing love and being loyal isn't a surprise if you romanced her honestly. She's very devoted to the people she loves.
@@gagapandega1668 exactly, and also she doesn't open up blindly to anyone, trust is very important to her (which makes sense, considering Drow society)
Sounds like you don't really know her as a character tbh
She threatens to cut you if you try to sleep with the twins 😂
They nailed the variety of people with different attachment styles and views on relationship.
Karlach: Deeply hurt and confused, but trying to save face. Letting you off the hook.
Halsin: No judgement, but turning it on himselves by trying to become "good enough".
Lae'zel: Hurt and disappointment towards herself for opening up and being vulnerable disguised as anger. (Honestly the most heartbreaking to me, relateable to anyone who has a tough exterior due to their life experiences)
Minthara: Actual anger and wounded ego by not understanding of why the person you cheated with was worth it in the first place.
Gale: Openly pouring his heart out and speaking his mind as there is strenght in vulnerablility by making you feel guilty.
Wyll: Being more shocked and caught of guard than anything else. Just a genuine "But why?"
Shadowheart: Being shady by playing it off cool and more so antagonizing the person you cheated with as a side piece. But also reminding you she could do the same and you should belong with her first. There is some backbone and jealousy behind the forefront of acting ok.
Astarion: Excited and encouraging in a way that almost admires you, but being lowkey desperate and vulnerable by sneaking the "please dont forget about me" in the end. Its the type of "Jk, not jk" that does expose some genuine care and attachment.
I relate to Lae'zel and Gale the most personaly.
Good analysis, just not sure about Astarion, cause he's ascended in video
Astarion must actually be pretty hurt - he reacts badly to you saying it was a mistake, meaning that you did the deed knowing you’d hurt him
I have not tried that one! Though, keep in mind the one in video is ascended Astarion
Tbh I think that's probably the implications behind it rather than the act, if that makes sense?
If you assumed your relationship was open, then - hey, Astarion's fine with that, even if he would've preferred you'd asked him first. From a betrayal standpoint that's just a miscommunication on your/his end. A 'we should've cleared that up first, but ah well'.
But if you'd assumed your relationship was -closed-, then did it anyway? That is hurtful. Astarion is happy to be in an open relationship - but you assumed you weren't, and then still decided to betray his trust anyway. That shows his feelings (even if you were misunderstanding them) weren't more important than a fling.
I think Astarion is both completely happy to be in an open relationship -and- hurt by you if you thought you were betraying him.
I love how much of a sweetheart of a person Karlach is. I’m alarmed to see her like that 0-0
:c
Shadowheart shows her distain in a very interesting way. She's not direct - but MAN is she pissed!! Basically saying "Oh, you want to play around - let me tell you all the stories of me sleeping with other people! And those are only the ones I remember - See how YOU like it!" She also calls Mizora "Inferior Goods" and insults your loyalty pretty hard "If I wanted a Swan..."
It's badass love it
Shadowheart has that toxic gf vibes. She'll laugh it off... but in her world two wrongs make a neutral... and she wants to be right😂
It seems to me that Shadowhearth is bothered by it, but for reasons of pride she tries to pretend otherwise.
You forgot Wyll's default reaction if you haven't romanced anyone
I thought of including it, but I wanted to keep this one strictly for romanced options (although I did add his subsequent comment to it, which I "think" plays in that case as well? Not too sure)
"I'm sorry, the parasite in my head was strong, but the serpent beneath me was far more stronger"
ayoooooo
wyll disapproving up a storm in the corner for the entire runtime is killing me
in a good or bad way? some people find it hilarious

Almost everyone else: *feels betrayed, angry, hurt, cuts you off right away*
Astarion: "next time invite meee >;)"
Although, let's make the distinction, ascended* Astarion :v
Been there Gale, and as tempting as it is I wouldn't recommend heading to the nearest tavern and asking for the strongest drink they have. It might make you care less about it, but it won't make you feel better

@@artturisiikanen3843 bro what in god's holy name are you blathering about?
Knowing Astarion like I do, romancing him thoroughly, this scene hurts. He's hiding so much, playing it off with misdirection and flirting sass, he can't be honest with you here, his defensives belies his hurt.
Unfortunately the one in scene is ascended, spawn is buggy, missing his dialogue, so you are most likely correct
I’m shocked Karlach forgives Tav. She’s too pure for this world 😢
I’m romancing Astarion and figured he wouldn’t care since he’s okay with Halsin, but I only got the “hope I’m not interrupting” part. Must be because I hadn’t finished his personal quest. Is this spawn Astarion? Does he say anything different if he’s ascended?
Also don’t know much about Mithra since she’s dead in my game, but I’m kinda surprised she breaks up with Tav. I guess it’s a slight to her drow superiority complex?
Lae’zel I guess just doesn’t wanna share? My friend is romancing her and told me she said she refuses to share at the drow twins so I guess this makes sense. Man I wish she had a scene like Wyll if you romance the Emperor, but it’s like that scene gives everyone so much PTSD no one mentions it lol.
Yeah Astarion is kinda bugged at the moment, that extra dialogue only triggers with his ascended version, took me half a day to figure out 😅. And yes, Karlach shatters my heart everytime 🥲
honestly very surprising how little bearing the emperor scene has on the plot

I like that Mizora has some nasty special comments for most companions:
- Wyll: Nobody of us has a leash (Wyll has one)
- Shart: Look who is sucking from the Shadow
- Astarion: I must have drawn more blood than I intended
- Laezel: Unlike you, I know just where to bite
- Halsin: Have your biceps grown
Basically she has a different comment for every one, but those above stuck with me.
Yep, that's why I made sure to include them :p
Wyll stalked us in any scenes 💀
Tadpole wifi voyeurism
Same reason they all see if you do it with the Emperor, weird joint mind-fuck from the tadpole. Like being forced to watch hentai
@@elenalizabeth while that's the most likely explanation, I like to think that they just added that scene for comedic purpose since it has 0 repercussions xD
@@elenalizabeth oh no plz stop 💀 i cant
@@Saretz more like they all woke up before Tav and were like “okay, so we all know Tav is basically the only sane one of us here and they are basically the glue holding us all together to stop us from becoming deranged murderhobos, so I think we should all just collectively agree to pretend that we never saw Tav mind-banging the squid”
I only did this with my Bard playthrough where I was romancing Shadowheart. By the end of that entire adventure I think she was like a long-suffering girlfriend of an irresponsible rock-star who will sleep with anything with 2 legs and a pulse (pulse semi-optional) and putting up with it because while he may be an irresponsible philanderer he "really gets her", so her reaction kind of fit.
That's quite the narrative you built for yourself XD
We love RP'ing in an RP game 😂
Just a heads up, the current dialogue files for Astarion is only for Astarion if he Ascended during his final quest; it appears to be incomplete on his end for pre-quest or Spawn-ending Astarion.
Yep, been mentioning that under many comments
Astarion playing mock offense before demanding to be included is just gold. True to character all the way
Thanks for saving me hours of replay 😂❤
You're most welcome :p
This is a really shitty thing to do to all of them, but especially Wyll and Karlach. Halsin and Shadowheart are surprisingly cool with it though, I'm pretty sure Astarion is only pretending not to care though.
That's ascended Astarion though, so unfortunately a completely different person. Spawn is bugged at the moment, has no dialogue :(
I love how Astarion goes full sleepover gossip and asks what it was like
Wyll hit me different and i didn't romance him,
Him saying "Shit........... Why" was really heartbreaking and made me feel empty inside😢
What about Gale
It’s so nice to see you replying to as many comments as you can :3 ,, getting on topic though, Karlach and Gale felt like a stab to the heart, but i just couldn’t help myself when Wyll said “but we danced… :(“ i couldn’t take him seriously xD
And I'll keep doing that so long I'm physically able to, or the situation gets out of hand :p
"But we danced" is really sad when placed in context, but it couldn't be helped, it turned into a meme 😂
Don’t cheat. Trust is priceless.
Facts
When I got the Mizora proposition, I was romancing Shadowheart and was trying to see if there was an option to get her consent. Luckily she just has a snarky response to Mizora rather than breaking up with Tav
On one playthrough I had a very high approval with Astarion. I don't know what the factor is but he *never brought it up* even though we were 'together'. There was the scene where he found us together but the second part never triggered. In my head I imagined he just let it go if you had high enough approval - either not wanting to talk about it out of fear of conflict or fearing you'll choose her and maybe it would come back up later.
It never did so I clicked on this video out of curiosity. I think I prefer what happened in my save and my own headcanon. The man spends over half the game dealing with his sexual trauma and abandonment issues. Personally some dialogue in act 3 after you get closer feels like he's trying too hard to not be that person anymore and make me sad. Like this one.
Rest assured, you aren't wrong. The one in video is ascended Astarion, currently spawn is bugged and like you said, has no dialogue, so we can't know what he'd say in that case, yet
I was worried something like this would happen with Gale when I chose to do the scene with Harlep, since it’s in character for my tav. I headcanon that he’s still a bit oblivious, flirtatiously loving Gale but his past make him unaware of the distinction between sexual and romantic relationships.
Also - let's pretend that they realise it's VITAL that you MUST do the thing with Haarlep - that will help with the guilt 🥲
@@SaretzHa. No. Haarlep only gets killed. Sure he's a pain to kill but the trick is to knock him on his ass
@@nathanfivecoate5848 I am pure and innocent, matter of fact, I have yet not seen the dialogue that supposedly plays once he starts using your body for his pleasure 👀
The way Lae'zel says "source of my bruises" is just so sad and resigned it breaks my heart 😢
I got you, there there 🥲
Shadowheart straight up casually roasting Mizora and she doesn’t even have a clever comeback…Sharr initiates graduation must be just a pure roast session xD
Lmao
i actually cant believe Karlach forgives you in this group Halsin and Astarion make sense Halsin views sex as natural as deciding what to have for breakfast and Astarions whole life unlife has been seduction and sleeping around, and im surprised at Shadowhearts confidence talking down to Mizora but Karlach after everything the devils put her through just forgives you
Like many comments mentioned, it's probably because she feels the end is near and wants to enjoy what little she's got left
Never do that to Karlach ever!! Poor sweet charcoal babe 😭
I approve of this message with all my heart
Shadowheart normally : *heart eyes*
Lea'zel normally : "I'm not above drowning you."
Shadowheart if you cheat on her : "If I knew you needed a leash, I might have put one on you."
Lea'zel if you cheat on her : "Yes, I'm going to cry myself a river in a literal sense but I'm going to use it to definitely drown you."
:c
Shadowheart is just cool with everything apparently
Want to bang Halsin? Sure but she wants details
Want to go with the Drow? Happily joins in
Screw a demon? Mild annoyance you just didn't ask first
😂 Although the initial approach she had in this gave me some yandere vibes, which then faded right away when she went: "just ask me next time"
Lol I don't think you've ever been in a relationship with a woman before. She was definitely not fine with Tav going behind her back and was hurt, but makes light of the situation because she doesn't want to lose you.
@@CelestialDraconis I've read a few comments describing that in depth, and I could see it being the case
She was not cool with the drow twins at all on my playthrough
Yeah or maybe she's the kind of woman that plays along to appear cool, fun and uncomplicated, maybe because she is afraid to lose you and builds up subconcious Ressentment towards sou, which eventually wears her down
My character is all for threesomes and polyamorous activities, but the thing is it meant going behind Shadowheart’s back-which i will not do. If there was an option or opportunity to ask Shadowheart and then let Mizora know she could sleep with both of us, then sure. But the lack of an option for transparency kept me from going through with it and taking Mizora up on her offer.
True, I partially get it since it's Mizora and not Halsin, but the fact that we can ask in his case and not in hers, is a bit odd
@@Saretz i think asking your partner's consent would take the fun out of it for her considering how she basically ensures that your partner catches you
@@mel-burnes there's an option where she says it'll be kept secret, but it seems to be either bugged or just a lie 🤥 (not that I condone cheating in real life obviously, that disgusts me)
@@Saretz i fully interpret it as a lie
@@mel-burnes that's the most likely case, as she has no reason not to cause some chaos in camp
like everyone else is like "How COULD you, we had something Special" except shadowheart who is like "next time ask and/or let me watch"
but Astarion is like "OOooOoo this is SPICY! Spill. The. TEA. Darling"
Note though: it's ascended* Astarion :p
Also many comments have been mentioning how Shadowheart is not really ok with it, just scared to lose Tav
@@SaretzI mean realistically the only people she has left to lose after the Absolute is defeated are Tav and *maybe* her parents
@@nathanfivecoate5848 True, maybe Lae'zel, after their "bonding" moment xd
Astarion says he wants to join but he's not into polyamory. Case and point the drow twins. I just know he's lying here. Him saying he wanna join is his way of asking you to consult him first if you sleep with someone else. Coz if you're gonna do the nasty with someone else, at least he's there so that you won't forget about him or fall out of love with him completely. Which is just heartbreaking. He can't say no to you. He can't even set boundaries for your relationship 😢😢😢 this hurts 😭😭😭
It is to be noted though that Astarion's dialogue is partially bugged, as this one specifically is only available if you ascend him, non-ascended Astarion cuts away after the "I hope I'm not interrupting part", so we don't really know what he would say
I think it’s not that he isn’t into polyamory and more he’s not ready for his body to be used yet.
He says he’s okay with having an open relationship with Tav and Halsin, but he’s not ready to share his body with Halsin yet.
There is a difference between the two situations here.
@@_Rat__Boy_ Interesting viewpoint
@@Saretz I could be wrong but that would be up to the characters to decide.
@@_Rat__Boy_ of course
I really think astarion is far more hurt than he is letting on, because you're the only person who's made him feel somewhat safe and loved
@@masonauty7421 maybe, but we can't know, the one in video is ascended Astarion, unfortunately spawn is bugged, no dialogues with him
Halsin is the wholesome polybear dad every polycule needs
Lae'zel's and Gale's were surprisingly painful. I've never liked either too much, but their actors - and Wyll's - did go the nine yards.
They really did
