    Spoilers for Astarion's romance and The Dark Urge origin.
    To be honest I was a little intimidated by the Durge. I don't like being mean in videogames so I put it off. Then I heard this song and knew it would be perfect for Astarion and the Durge because they have an almost shared trauma. So I put on my big girl pants and started playing it just to make this video. As it turned out by the time I got to Act 2, I was actually having a lot of fun with it. A good aligned Durge trying to redeem themselves and decline Bhaal with a non ascended Astarion just made for a nice ending.
    Also I wanted to put more clips in. I know I'm missing some good dialogue but I just didn't have room. Maybe next time.
    Anyway Astarion's romance is SO good and I adore the ship. I'm so glad that I managed to vid them. A silent protag made it hard at times but I'm pretty happy with this. Hope you like it! 💕

    Okay as much as I love the Astarion and Tav romance, there is something deeper with him and Durge romance. I think because, they both see themselves more as 'monsters' and killers. They are both dealing with inherent darkness and being controlled by something/someone else. His dialogue romancing with Durge is so naturally romantic. This vid proves it. 😭 I romanced him as Tav, but now I will do a playthrough as Durge...

    • @mrseucliffex
      @mrseucliffex  ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Ooh yes I think so too! I did the Astarion/Tav first. I liked it but ended up with the preference for Durge. They see themselves in each other a lot. He's also very supportive and worries about Durge more than himself. Which is a big deal for his character really. You can also see/feel the development between the two of them.
      There's also more great dialogue that I simply couldn't fit in this video. Hope you enjoy the Durge run! 😊

    Aww, so cute! I recently find out that it was one writer working on Astarion and Durge, and she wanted all characters having special interactions with Durge. But since there was budget and time constraint, she had the opportunity to sneak some extra lines only to Astarions scripts. This is why his romance with Durge feels better and more complete, than with any other character. Sinergy, baby. They made for each other by the creator!

      Astarion is the only companion who can truly understand the struggles the Dark Urge is going through, as they have so many parallels: Both suffer from an incessant urge (the hunger for blood, the craving for murder), both are regarded as monsters (vampire spawn, Bhaalspawn), both were "created" and can't remember the life they had before.

    Beautiful!! There is a really lovely line in Act 2, the night after he ties you up, where he says, ‘just as the lick of poison is removed from my words of love, yours bring the promise of death.

      EDIT : I've found out. You either need to pick some specific choices during the urge scene, OR/AND you need to be in an official relationship with Astarion before the urge scene procs. It will give you 4 dialogue choices to choose from the next morning instead of the 3 I got in my original playthrough !
      ((I didn't get it in my playthrough either. So basically you need to resist the urge to kill Astarion during the 1st night, then trigger the next night, then talk to him inside of the camp ?
      He just gives me his usual lines when I do this :( ))

    So is that a guarantee that you're going to encounter the dark urge and every single playthrough? I'm just asking for a heads up...... Because I honestly I don't want to hurt him. Not my sweet little vamp. Yes over the past few weeks I've became very attached to him. (Plus it doesn't help that he's similar to another character that I that I romanced) well at least in terms of backstory, as well as other little similarities so of course I got attached. ❤ I can't help myself.

    • @mrseucliffex
      @mrseucliffex  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Dark Urge is an origin story that you choose in the character creator. You can be just a normal adventurer and not worry about the urges at all. Dark Urge origin has more content with Astarion though because there's a common writer and they snuck in a few extra goodies from what I've read.
      As the Durge you won't ever have to hurt Astarion as long as you win the dice rolls. Save the game before rolling the dice and you'll be fine. Hurting Astarion only came up because I was good and resisted the urge. You can embrace it too but I don't like being mean lol. He takes it all in stride though and handles it so wonderfully. I like his character more from doing the Dark Urge run.
      If I had to guess could the other romance be Fenris from Dragon Age?

      My Durge has a few mods on. Look at my mods list in the description for the link. You can get a similar outfit by finishing Shadowhearts quest in Act 3 though. As for Astarion he's wearing an armour I bought in Act 3. I think it's from a Dragonborn merchant in Rivington. I can't remember the name of it right now though.

      It's Astarion's origin scene where he has a nightmare in Act 1. Same night he tries to bite Tav in the custom playthrough. It's just his pov. It's a very interesting scene that explains why he was desperate for humanoid blood.

      It's a durge specific dialogue. In Act 2, the urge goes for Isobel, but if you don't kill her and resist the urge, it'll turn onto your closest companion, and in my case, it's Astarion. If durge resists again and he survives, he says this when you talk to him about being worried about him the next day.
