    It's heartbreaking. First, you break your romance's heart, then your own heart literally explodes.

    That ending scene with Withers makes me wish Larian had given us a DLC to expand on that new role. Still, I'm thankful for what they gave us, one of the best games ever.

      That new role probably hss something to do with afterlife or reincarnation, a mystery to even the likes of Jergal & in themselves, huge projects that won't be revealed for years to come, thus making it near impossible for Larian to make a dlc without making the whole thing look rushed & cheap.

    Although it is rather sweet that there's almost a 4th-wall breaking convo the player can have in choices when Karlach is thinking to herself. I know that she is a rather 4-wall breaking character in general but I saw one of the last choices that could be made before she blows up has the player talking to her and calling her 'honey' compared to a few other choices that just refer to 'I'

    How "out of character" did you have to act as Karlach in order to get Astarion to approve of you enough for romance? Those two seem like opposite ends of the alignment chart most of the time.

    • @kairaaitken938
      @kairaaitken938 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      You don't have to act out of character. His approvals outweigh his disapprovals of heroic actions. You can also get him to have sex with you at neutral approval ( giving you an opportunity for +10 approval by allowing him to bite you during sex ) you just have to follow a particular dialogue tree. I believe you select the "knowing you it probably is" when he says something about wanting to have fun

      Actually, I didn't play Karlach too out of character in Act 1. I saved the Grove and saved Halsin. Because she's burning, and literally just too hot, she can't start a true romance in Act 1 like Tav can - all scenes are a bit different. For Astarion approval, right after recruiting him on the beach, I do 4 consecutive partial long rests. That triggers the scene where he tries to bite me, and then the scene where he wonders what the others would taste like. This way, I get 19-20 approval on the beach before even entering the Grove. Since Karlach is very hot, Astarion can't bite her either, which she's actually sorry about - she would have liked to help him. On the other hand, there are certainly toxic moments between Karlach and Astarion. For example, Astarion can be quite mean to Karlach when they go into the woods together and he realizes he can't sleep with her because she's on fire. Conversely, as an Astarion Origin character, you can begin a romance with Karlach and be extremely toxic towards her, say mean things to her, cheat on her with Mizora, but she still always stays with him or Tav.

      You can get high approval + romance Astarion the same way you do any companion: being nice to him and helping him with his problems. Also his tastes aren't just full "lmao chaotic evil," he also gives approval when you do mischief, defy authority, and deliver righteous vengeance on people. I got him proposing me for sex on a resist Durge cleric of Ilmater (goodie two shoes) and he never did a thing wrong or mean (well I mean...besides The Incident)

    This is the first time I've teared up with this game...
    Why are we given such tragic stories? Heavy Rain, RDR1 & 2, Ghost of Tsushima, and most endings of BG3...I can't help but play games with great stories, but tragic endings like this remind me of my crippling depression and frequent wishes to "let go"

      I'm not sure about that. Karlach Origin has a story issue with ascended Astarion. He cannot make her a spawn - the romance breaks off. That's why I'm not sure if he can also say that as a 'friendship'.
