@crslns Kisses used to change across ALL paths, but Larian decided to make the PC (can be DU) a victim of SA for V-Day. This isn’t an RPG, it’s r*pe fanfic. Devs agreed with AAfans that it was bullshit. Evil LI doesn’t have to assault the PC. It’s a game, not an abuse lecture for Feb 14
@Ne0Starlight Well, AA has power, but such a break, when he finally found someone important, hurts him, and he feels betrayed too. Having all of this doesn't mean you won't feel pain when it happens. Astarion hurts when he's hurt. That's what he does
@Ne0Starlight True love, therapy, and a healthier relationship (than when he yells) - death threats
Fix him on time and correctly, then there will be no yelling or threats
@milmilksss GIFs from South Park that say, “You're wrong” don’t make you right - just like likes on X, your opinion only becomes meaningful and valid when it influences the outcome
People keep writing to me. Check it out
AA fans aren’t to blame for the fact that a multimillion-dollar company listened to their feedback and and they decided that was the best thing to do. Even if you don’t see why this happened. Maybe this will help
#Astarion#BG3
@Anvina1470 There are a lot, they just enjoy playing the game and watching videos on YouTube with Astalion, buy AA merch instead of arguing with people from X whose posts have never meant anything
Astarion thing :D
The context is such that after agreeing to be with him forever, you're going to break up
Ast is not capable of "healthy relationship"
Even threatens death if your charisma fails
UA shows this when he's angry - btw it’s also about the breakup bc it hurts him so
@vvestoxx That's even more than a True Vampire will ever be.
So giving Tav\Du power doesn't seem to be a problem for him. That's how he feels
Devnote:
[Vampire Lord Astarion] The avatar just kissed you. You're marvelling at the big, evil future you two have ahead of you.
@vvestoxx Bc centuries of betrayal and lies have left their mark. He strives for loyalty. Tav agree to this which is why the script is filled with precisely this consensual dynamic
However, AA supports them in becoming the Absolute, which overrides any power he might have, and he knows it
@kitsuoba Being intoxicated by power, and the protection and freedom it brings - that’s what Astarion is right to have after 200 years of slavery. He’ll get full autonomy, and even if he acts like an arrogant ass with power, I won’t lock him up in a monastery of shadows and hunger
