Honestly I think that's something the writers left out intentionally. Man needs to decompress. Touch or words in that moment might take him completely out of his sorrow and call on him to think of how he's being perceived instead. A comforting scene afterwards would be really nice, though.
Wow I was literally thinking the same thing during that scene, especially if you are romancing him I think hugging him during that scene would have been perfect.
Really? I thought that was the absolute last thing he would want or need. 😅. After that rampage I could see needing a minute to come down. I wouldn't want a hug in that moment where it me, at all.

@@limeproductions7873one of the ways you can potentially cure vampirism in regular dnd is to kill the vampire then bring it back with a 9th Level spell called "True Resurrection". Or you can use a Wish spell at 9th level
I feel like less a cure would be right, but a way for him to stay in the sun for some time. Same for Karlach, a way to get her heart back from Zariel. Gale to find the crown and return it.. There are still storylines that can be expanded upon with the old companions and introducing new ones for a DLC...
One thing I find fascinating is his body language - he goes from having to look at Tav through his eyelashes when showing any venerability to being fully confident.
I absolutely hated that the game didn't let me use disguse self to turn into Astarion to show him his reflection in the scene when he broke his mirror...I hated it so much. I wanted him to truly see himself. Of course I flattered him as much as i could (except when I got the chance to compare him to gale), but my words didn't do him justice. I had the spell prepared!!! Why can't I use it to turn into him? :(
@@seignee or maybe they did think of it but it would have required to change how the spell works. Imagine if you can turn into any named enemy and infiltrate camps :P But still this made me sad
If you play Astarion as your MC you can go as far, as to carve the runes on Cazador’s back and yet still back out of doing the ritual. Wish you could do this here, since it felt fitting. Put Cazador through the same agonizing pain Astarion and his siblings had to go through, and then stab him to death.
Literally what I was thinking! First playthrough I was stunned Astarion just stabbed him to death. I will yelling how that was far too quick for a nasty evil vampire like him. I was wanting to do it myself lolol but then Astarion's emotional breakdown made me instantly protective huggy
Doin the lords work out here, putting so much time into creating a little movie for those of us that don't have the patience to do it ourselves haha. Thank you!
1:28:56 So much insanely pain in this moment 😭😭😭 Astarion for me has one of the most powerful, painful and touching stories. And Neil Newbon amazingly expressed all the feelings of the character with his facial expressions and voice. Outstanding work.👏
I would have picked all your choices (except maybe in the very end where I might have released the spawns) so thank you for this, it was very nice to watch ! And it also means you can still choose to be good and make the right choices while romancing Astarion so that's good to know

@xModronx lol yeah I mostly did it for me since I like to flip to certain scenes to watch on repeat lol I'm gunna do it for the whole video when I get a chance
Aww you and your husband are so adorable how did you two meet? Tav: oh you know how it goes. Two people meet, one threatens the spill the other innards. Then after getting to know each other a bit you wake up to them attempting to drink your blood. The age old story really.
40:18 I wish you to find in your life a person, who will look at you just like Astarion on Tav in this scene 😍 This red-eyed sassy boy definitely falling in love ☺
I love that you choose the more confrontational options for this. I use these romance playthroughs in the background and it really lends a different tone to the astation romance if you call him out sometimes vs not. both are so fun.
I just came here to say that I find your Tav insanely pretty ❤️ thank you for compiling all of this! My pc is so damned old it's a struggle to play and since I'm literally obsessed, I can't be patient xD love this man and your choices 🥰
Right? 😍 I'm obsessed with this hairstyle now. Saw it on a male tav in another video and it looked so cool! I want hair like her, now. Looks like a butterfly cut, just slicked back...
We definitely should have been able to give Astarion a hug after dealing with Cazador. Not in the moment when he’s trying to process everything, but later when Astarion was ready to talk.
Holy crap, I just realized Raphael is Lucien Lachance's voice actor! O.O And love the vid, I keep watching these kinds until I can play the game myself so thank you for the post!
I just realised I missed so many cutscenes because I didn't rest enough or because I rushed a bit in the beginning (lost some content which made it harder to raise approval) I might need to do another run for the vampire boy 😩 Thank you for the vid, it's amazing all the character development he goes over with Tav
Is it possible to romance Astarion even if you turn down his first sexual offer? From what I remember in Neil's streams while he romances the character he plays as, there's a theme of "sex first, intimacy and feelings later", but I want to know if I can still pursue him romantically if it was the other way around.
I literally finished going through his novel 15 minutes ago... I feel so strange, during the scene of the murder of Kazador, I wanted to cry so much, but I didn't drop a tear, I just couldn't, only when I saw the scene in the cemetery and left the game, tears flowed from my eyes, so slowly.. I want so much to start crying, but as if something is in the way. Maybe it's that feeling of emptiness when you finally got what you were waiting for and now you don't know what to do next. What a pity that in the game you are limited to lines of dialogue and can't say all your words of love to this character. And I couldn't decide for myself whether to do it in the cemetery scene or just sit there together, I just really want to be with him together, but I got the impression from this scene that he really wants it, but I don't know how it would have been too little time. I just hope he was honest and really wanted it.❤
Man, when the frickin hunters are like "grr you took our children you're a monster" and I'm like "he was this dude's SLAVE, you jackasses. He had NO CHOICE. Hell no, I'm not going to help you if you're going to be dicks about it." I'm all for killing the master vampire and all but you do not do my boy Asterion dirty like that. Even if he is a little asshole most of them time.
@@Fearsome_Gonad Not even remotely what I was talking about. I understand them being upset about their children being taken. It's awful. But the person responsible is Cazador. Blaming Astarion for it when he had no choice but to do his master's bidding seems very unfair.
There's not a play through I can imagine where Astarion isn't permanently in my party and gettinga decent storyline. I don't care what happens if I sell him out, kill him or boot him cause he's just too much fun. I'll RP pretty much every other scenario in the game just to experience it, but Astarion will always be the exception.
@@bunniewoodNo. Categorically false. They would be just like Astarion, except more hungry. You can choose to have yourselves and Astarion’s former fellow spawn to look after them, lead them through the under dark away from people. They like hundreds of years as captives and you think murdering them is the “kindest” thing to do? If you even think about it for a moment with proper morals, you’ll realize that’s absurd. Giving them a chance at freedom is the only good option. As for safety, I guess you could make that argument for anyone. Safer to kill anyone just in case they hurt someone. But that’s not how we want to live, is it? There’s a way to keep them from harming others while giving them a chance at life like a free Astarion.
@@kstar1489Not “just like Astarion” though. Astarion spent his first 200 years under the explicit control of the vampire that turned him, being used/trained/socialized. The caged spawn have been locked up and suffering for however many years, with no experience among the living, no forced restraint, and no tadpoles.
Me either. Never even heard of this game. Just random shorts of Asterion, and I got hooked and have been binging on these ever since. Now, I might actually play this game. I've never been one for vampires much, but he changed my mind. Cutest vampire I've ever seen. 😍
Why don't we have to option to attack in mid villain speech. Isn't that what we all really want. I want that. Villain speech are a stupid move anyways, so why not just simply take advantage. Take off my boot and chuck it at him. Or get a archer to shoot arrow at him mid speech.
i've just started watching this, & as someone who's romanced him for 900 hrs & counting, i find it so weird to see a "romance" where ppl pick the mean options with him. amazed it even works, honestly. at least the first 15 mins or so looks less like a romance & more like you absolutely hate him 😢
I decided to choose the slightly "spicier/meaner" ones out of curiosity, but also because it matched the way I imagined this Tav. Besides, in my opinion, I wouldn't be surprised if many people started the game this way. Early on, Astarion threatens or holds a knife to Tav's throat, which can leave a bad taste.
@@xModronx yet they all love lae'zel when she essentially does the same thing on the ship, not to mention the nite at camp where she tries to slit your throat. in my last run, i got her trying to slit my throat on the same nite as her trying to sleep with me, she's diverse i suppose
@@xModronxI also feel like, given how he admits he was seducing you out of fear essentially (so you wouldn’t kick him out of the group and would help him) in combination with his past trauma, someone bantering and actually talking with him instead of just folding immediately adds more sincerity. You aren’t just a mark then
Damn I missed out on so much dialogue in Act 2 >.< I guess I wasn't taking enough long rests?? Either way now in Act 3 he acts like I refused him at some point, when the only romance stuff I got was up to showing him the runes in the dirt >.< every other cutscene was unrelated to him and I never got speech bubbles for him 😢
If this is your tav, their gorgeous omg. Idk who to simp more for lmao. I wish I had a PC, I would love this game, along with Diablo Immortal. One day.
Psst, you don't need a PC! The Steam Deck is considerably cheaper, and BG3 runs just fine on it. You can also check out their refurbished Decks, which are cheaper than buying them new. I was in the same boat, so I just wanna let you know you have options!
@tanuka7624 they may have fixed it then, since I've played it. I know their patches have had a lot of bug fixes. But before, doing that ending with Karlach would send me straight to credits with no (good) ending scene with Astarion
Thank you for the video. It's wonderful! I still can't believe they gave the bad ending romance scene such a steamy sex scene complete with nudity and thrusting action, and all we get in the good ending is a poxy clothed version where he's not even wearing the outfit we chose for him. Not fair. My thirst demands more 😅
I completely undersand you, but I think that the differences between those scenes make quite a lot of sense. I wouldn't consider non-ascended version vanilla by any means lol, it's very passionate (even spiritual in a sense) and you can tell that he cares for Tav. As for the ascended version, well...he's not himself anymore, he seems possessive and obsessive hence the more carnal aspect of the scene
Yeah, I get your point, but I don't see why the "good" stuff always has to be less carnal than the "bad" stuff... Good people also enjoy a nice session of carnal pleasure, so at the very least they could have given us something with the nudity and made it carnal but more loving and tender rather than just simply carnal... that would have been my preference@@xModronx And did I tell you i've now watched our video at least 3 times from start to finish? 😅It's so good ❤Thank you again!
yes, as someone else said, it's astarion's theme, it's called "i want to live" but the lyrics are the very best part, they will make you cry if you know his story, 1 of my favorite songs ever, definitely check out the version with the lyrics!
41.22 Araj can see it. "he belongs to himself," says Tav. "You sure about that that?" says Araj, because she's not fucking blind. You know another thing i love? Astarion can't stay angry at Tav. so many times we see him rein in his anger and i love it. And that nervous laugh when he's telling her the truth about his feelings. He's all over the place. I just wish we had the date night scenes that we get in the Astarion/Karlach romance, where they go for dinner and share a bed, but cuddle up and don't do anything but that.
Really don’t like the leader of the gur(I am I spelling it wrong I assume) acting like Astarion is evil for being a literal slave and being forced to do horrible thing. He’s not exactly innocent sure. But he was literally enslaved.
0:41 I my headcanon my Tav agrees to killing the thingy jyst because she actually wants to see if it's Us Astarion's talking about and maybe help the little creature from being killed. And, well, that's just where the goodness leads her 😅
It is very interesting to look at someone else's order of events in a love story. Good job! My character is Dark Urge, and she is almost identical in appearance to your Tav (face customization, race, hairstyle, eye, skin and hair color). I was very happy about this coincidence.
I wanna resurrect Cazador just to kill him over and over forx what he did to Astarion and the others. Bastard. I love Astarion so much, he deserves everything ❤❤❤❤❤
“Cazzador”… *looks at my username*….*sweats* WHAT DID I DO!? (No joke, I started having panic attacks when he said Cazzador which is close to my username Cassidor. I SWEAR I DID NOTHING 😭😭😭😂)
Can someone explain to me the nymph scene? With their bond? Then she turns into this weird fiery spawn? Anyone? Their bond is fine, everyone knows he doesn't want to be a slave so I'm guessing saying the correct thing gave a bad ending?
What did you do? Your character (appearance especially) now my only choice for Astarion, I can’t watch why other edits because their characters. I think they suit together very well, I enjoy watching them together.
I wish they would add an option to comfort Astarion during the moment he's lost in grief after killing Cazador. That scene breaks my heart
This; like standing there like an idiot while the man needs to be held and hugged. C'mon now
EXACTLY I WAS LIKE “DUDE I WOULDVE HUGGED HIM” my baby 🥺
Honestly I think that's something the writers left out intentionally. Man needs to decompress. Touch or words in that moment might take him completely out of his sorrow and call on him to think of how he's being perceived instead. A comforting scene afterwards would be really nice, though.

There are still storylines that can be expanded upon with the old companions and introducing new ones for a DLC...

@@seignee or maybe they did think of it but it would have required to change how the spell works. Imagine if you can turn into any named enemy and infiltrate camps :P

I think another great option would have been your character being able to lean in, and trace his features and describe them to him while doing so.
I was thinking the same thing! A basic illusion spell, and he could see 😢
If you play Astarion as your MC you can go as far, as to carve the runes on Cazador’s back and yet still back out of doing the ritual. Wish you could do this here, since it felt fitting.

Why don't we have to option to attack in mid villain speech. Isn't that what we all really want. I want that. Villain speech are a stupid move anyways, so why not just simply take advantage. Take off my boot and chuck it at him. Or get a archer to shoot arrow at him mid speech.
Choice another character during Vilain speech.
Attaqué with this character.
And Voila !
1:41:10, wow. There's such... lack of pretence. The mask is completely gone.
i've just started watching this, & as someone who's romanced him for 900 hrs & counting, i find it so weird to see a "romance" where ppl pick the mean options with him. amazed it even works, honestly. at least the first 15 mins or so looks less like a romance & more like you absolutely hate him 😢
I decided to choose the slightly "spicier/meaner" ones out of curiosity, but also because it matched the way I imagined this Tav. Besides, in my opinion, I wouldn't be surprised if many people started the game this way. Early on, Astarion threatens or holds a knife to Tav's throat, which can leave a bad taste.
@@xModronx yet they all love lae'zel when she essentially does the same thing on the ship, not to mention the nite at camp where she tries to slit your throat. in my last run, i got her trying to slit my throat on the same nite as her trying to sleep with me, she's diverse i suppose
@@nocturna76 Either way, I love both Astarion and Bae'zel
@@xModronxI also feel like, given how he admits he was seducing you out of fear essentially (so you wouldn’t kick him out of the group and would help him) in combination with his past trauma, someone bantering and actually talking with him instead of just folding immediately adds more sincerity. You aren’t just a mark then
43:30 Me tagging my fav scene so I can come back later ~ ^-^ 😊
Damn I missed out on so much dialogue in Act 2 >.< I guess I wasn't taking enough long rests?? Either way now in Act 3 he acts like I refused him at some point, when the only romance stuff I got was up to showing him the runes in the dirt >.< every other cutscene was unrelated to him and I never got speech bubbles for him 😢
I like the little music in the background
i have never played this game but this is amazing, amazing story and character
your character is gorge!
If this is your tav, their gorgeous omg. Idk who to simp more for lmao. I wish I had a PC, I would love this game, along with Diablo Immortal. One day.
Psst, you don't need a PC! The Steam Deck is considerably cheaper, and BG3 runs just fine on it. You can also check out their refurbished Decks, which are cheaper than buying them new.
I was in the same boat, so I just wanna let you know you have options!
19:01 does he see the worm? does he see his clothes?
Omg what an interesting question. 🤔🤔🤣🤣 I literally will be thinking about that all night now.
@@samthelion3925 oups. sowee
that would be scary af lmfao, i mean for the tadpole part.
Cazador may be the least impressive villain I've ever seen, but every time he yells not to slouch I instinctively sit straighter
25:00 - placeholder
How on earth do you get the naive dialog? I absolutely love that cut scene.
I found a "bug fix" for triggering the last romance scene for Astarion you have to SPOILER let Karlach die unfortunately
....I'm sorry, what??? :(
Or, Spoiler alert, let her go to Avernus with Wyll. It triggered for me like that.
@tanuka7624 they may have fixed it then, since I've played it. I know their patches have had a lot of bug fixes. But before, doing that ending with Karlach would send me straight to credits with no (good) ending scene with Astarion
@@mad_pac-man my bad 🫣
@@KellyMichaelsR No, not your bad LOL But like...I can't be happy with my man without losing my fave girl?! T.T Rude...
Thank you for the video. It's wonderful! I still can't believe they gave the bad ending romance scene such a steamy sex scene complete with nudity and thrusting action, and all we get in the good ending is a poxy clothed version where he's not even wearing the outfit we chose for him. Not fair. My thirst demands more 😅
I completely undersand you, but I think that the differences between those scenes make quite a lot of sense. I wouldn't consider non-ascended version vanilla by any means lol, it's very passionate (even spiritual in a sense) and you can tell that he cares for Tav. As for the ascended version, well...he's not himself anymore, he seems possessive and obsessive hence the more carnal aspect of the scene
Yeah, I get your point, but I don't see why the "good" stuff always has to be less carnal than the "bad" stuff... Good people also enjoy a nice session of carnal pleasure, so at the very least they could have given us something with the nudity and made it carnal but more loving and tender rather than just simply carnal... that would have been my preference@@xModronx And did I tell you i've now watched our video at least 3 times from start to finish? 😅It's so good ❤Thank you again!
THE VOICE ACTOR IS THE GUY WHO DID GAVIN & ELIJAH IN DBH AND KARL IN RE8 OMG
Does anyone know the music playing in the background when they’re at Astarion’s grave? It’s beautiful
I believe it’s called
“I want to live” 😊
@@jellylovesart17
Thank you 🌟🌟🌟
yes, as someone else said, it's astarion's theme, it's called "i want to live" but the lyrics are the very best part, they will make you cry if you know his story, 1 of my favorite songs ever, definitely check out the version with the lyrics!
41.22 Araj can see it.
"he belongs to himself," says Tav.
"You sure about that that?" says Araj, because she's not fucking blind.
You know another thing i love? Astarion can't stay angry at Tav. so many times we see him rein in his anger and i love it.
And that nervous laugh when he's telling her the truth about his feelings. He's all over the place. I just wish we had the date night scenes that we get in the Astarion/Karlach romance, where they go for dinner and share a bed, but cuddle up and don't do anything but that.
Omg I kno I absolutely love it!!! He is so cute with our tav
On his own grave is weird, but still less freaky than the druid...
Really don’t like the leader of the gur(I am I spelling it wrong I assume) acting like Astarion is evil for being a literal slave and being forced to do horrible thing. He’s not exactly innocent sure. But he was literally enslaved.
0:41 I my headcanon my Tav agrees to killing the thingy jyst because she actually wants to see if it's Us Astarion's talking about and maybe help the little creature from being killed. And, well, that's just where the goodness leads her 😅
12:06 this choice 😂😂😂😂 I can’t
23:20. Oh my gosh 😂 ☠️
It is very interesting to look at someone else's order of events in a love story. Good job!
My character is Dark Urge, and she is almost identical in appearance to your Tav (face customization, race, hairstyle, eye, skin and hair color). I was very happy about this coincidence.
10:36 I’d lend him my arm tbh,the neck makes blood come out way too fast
I hope you do one for Gale too!😊❤
I'm working on it😊
I wanna resurrect Cazador just to kill him over and over forx what he did to Astarion and the others. Bastard. I love Astarion so much, he deserves everything ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh no....a 31 year old woman and kids that wishes this was real.
Me, im that woman
love your character ❤
4:58 I GYATTTTTTT something in my eyes
Now if i dont know which anwaser to choose ill come back here❤ thank uu
What do I have to do if I want to be with him forever? (in the game of course)
either
Let him ascend and turn you lmao
I missed on some damn good talks and a cute damn white doggy! Guess 2nd try is a must haha
i remember someone on twitter roasting astarion’s lips saying boy needs some chapstick and goddamn do i agree, vaseline maybe?
“Cazzador”… *looks at my username*….*sweats* WHAT DID I DO!? (No joke, I started having panic attacks when he said Cazzador which is close to my username Cassidor. I SWEAR I DID NOTHING 😭😭😭😂)
Ugh I can’t believe you manipulated and tortured him 😡
@@ErzaEthereal😂😂😂
I didn’t get the bite scene…I’m starting all over.
i had that bug once, it messed up the game so bad astarion's quest would never update, definite restart for me
42:35 to come back to
Nah he should ascend, he deserves that power.
Can someone explain to me the nymph scene? With their bond? Then she turns into this weird fiery spawn? Anyone? Their bond is fine, everyone knows he doesn't want to be a slave so I'm guessing saying the correct thing gave a bad ending?
What did you do? Your character (appearance especially) now my only choice for Astarion, I can’t watch why other edits because their characters. I think they suit together very well, I enjoy watching them together.
Your character is kinda 😳
Oh hey a fellow fan of neil gaimen
