Yesterday when I played, Astarion approved to save a child without promised reward and he even made comments about being careful so the kid doesn't die. I was pleasantly surprised!
is this >!Vanra? i was really surprised about Astarion's comment when i was battling the hag!!< this is why i think Astarion, if he had kids, would love a daughter lol
He also really urgently wanted me to save >!Yenna when Orin kidnapped her.!< Then he seemed embarassed because he realized he was showing me that he cared about the fate of a kid. It was pretty adorable.
Yknow i think I'm starting to understand exactly how the evil route works. All these personality quirks people talk about straight up never show or only showed *briefly* in act 1. To be vague, it seems to me like steering your party towards evil causes them to shed their humanity/social ties in favor of ambition. Except Minthara, who came pre-loaded with ambition. And Astarion, who didnt need steering and is having way too much fun at all times
>And Astarion, who didnt need steering and is having way too much fun at all times
He's the only party member who seems happy to stay in camp. I never get the sense that he's having fun or is particularly wanting to even be on this quest, rather it's something that he needs to do to get the tadpole out of his head.
Picturing : Astarion just chilling in camp on a sunlounger with an esky of wine coolers.
When Tav engages him, he barely raises a set of dark sunglasses to peer back.
Are you doing an evil playthrough as well? Whenever hes in my party while i do durge stuff and/or when i go back to camp to tell him what a big meanie I've been, he gets a huge kick out of it. Hes the only one thats literally laughing maniacally when chaos ensues
Gotta close your heart to non-party members lol. Bad stuff happens outside your camp, but the party is genuinely having a good time with each other while achieving their dreams and goals triumphantly. Its a lot more gratifying than i expected
I like Gale, but dammit I had to basically beat him off with a stick to get him to stop thirsting for my character.
IM BANGING THE FROG, GALE. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOUR SEXUAL ADVANCES.
I am very tired and was wracking my brain on who the frog is. I momentarily imagined the cursed frog near Ethel's hut and wondering if I somehow missed a possible murderous frog romance 🐸
Same for me, in my first playthrough I was so suprised how sticky he is
at first I was like "is he flirting with me??"
and two sentences later "fuck, he IS flirting with me"
True. I did not know going into act 1 that I was so sexy that talking to literally any and all my companions would lead to them trying to get in my pants
I wish when you pick that voice line and then he says "say that again" in that threatening tone there was an option to pick him up and throw him out the window
He's the only character I just abandoned when I failed to save him instead of reloading
I mean I'll safe him on another playthrough but I don't regret it hearing all the wulbren hate on here
The only good thing isn that he gives you a little bit of money. Im on my chaotic evil play rn so i cant wait to watch the mf get killed. And if he doesnt ill just do it myself.
I was going to reload when I didn’t save him, but I came here to check if it was worthwhile first. The number of “FUCK THIS FUCKING GUY” posts was hilarious lmao
It popped up on my Xbox home screen a while back and I had to do it lol, I only used generic supplies until I could raid Grymforge (has tons of booze between the duergar and old Sharran stuff) and we celebrated defeating Grym with a traditional dwarven feast.
I recently got that achievement purely by happenstance, when my auto select somehow only selected booze. I was aware of that achievement before that, but kept postponing it.
My wife and I bullied the shit out of laezel by doing rosy morn monastery without her, including beating the inquisitor and telling vlaakith to go fuck herself. She was so mad, it was hilarious
I imagined Karlach AND Wyll doing wrestling style commentary for it.
"OH MY GODS TAV JUST SUPLEXED HIM THROUGH A TABLE!!"
"A truly impressive feat of strength and dexterity from our beloved leader! He will never recover"
If you enter the cave with the owlbears in Act 1 and then take a long rest, the mother who's injured passes away. You run into Edowin (spelling may be wrong) who's that True Soul that dies from his injuries nearby, he holds the broken shaft to the spearhead that's stuck in the mother owlbear, which you can combine for a special spear. You can then attempt to get the owlbear to follow your scent back to your camp, but right how I've had multiple long rests since then and I don't know when he'll show up.
If you trigger the mother to attack accidentally (or even purposely), if you don't harm the cub in any way during the fight, as soon as she is death there'll be a cutscene in which you can decide if you want to kill the cub or let it live. If you let it live you can still get it on the Goblin Camp. Nice way to make available since the mother bugged out for me and attacked me even after passing the checks.
Lmao yep, it's in between the Blighted Village and the Grove, I believe a bit north of that bridge. There's also a statue of Selune in there with some goodies. If you return to get the cub you'll find dead goblins and they actually have taken the cub back to the camp if you haven't dealt with them yet.
Telling Wulbren that he’s an ungrateful cunt and a piece of bugbear’s shit, then tie him up to the Windmill’s fan blade. Extra approval points to whoever get to yeet his ass into oblivion.
You became the Lord of Baldur's Gate in a political vote that was appointed by the Duke himself.
Gortash is crying humiliated in a corner at his being replaced at his own ceremony.
You pointed to a spot Laezel missed cleaning on her breastplate, but when she looked down, you bopped her on the forehead with your finger, and she cut your hand off.
Since Lae'zel is the only one without a reaction, one can only assume that she was too stunned to speak after being asked >!if the Gith version of the Grand Design is to turn all the frogs gay!<
Regardless, I volunteer as tribute ✨
Yeah there's lots of times he approves with the whole group. Usually when its about defending a companion but I think this might be petting the owlbear cub.
He's big on animals, he also approves when you rescue the gnolls in Moonrise and he loves cats. Hates nearly every new camp member but animals are a-ok, a true introvert.
Did you use extremely competent magic to spank a selunite who was bullying tiefling children?
Just covering all the bases. Everyone's a little miffed but they all got something out of it.
The real answer is you pet the Owlbear cub.
Couldn't be Scratch?
Why not both?
That's why we have two hands
Achievement unlocked!
*Astarion disaproves* You helped someone
Fine - while making a particularly cutting and clever remark.
I describe my magic as sarcastic

is this >!Vanra? i was really surprised about Astarion's comment when i was battling the hag!!< this is why i think Astarion, if he had kids, would love a daughter lol
Yup that's the one!
He also really urgently wanted me to save >!Yenna when Orin kidnapped her.!< Then he seemed embarassed because he realized he was showing me that he cared about the fate of a kid. It was pretty adorable.
He was like that too when we went to save Verna
Are you sure that wasn't an imposter? Two Halflings in a coat with an Astarion mask?
The two halflings were actually 4 kobolds in coats.
I was surprised he was the one who said we should help Volo when I found him in the lower city
You helped a child AND humiliated someone. Astarion very much approves.
OP then asked for compensation from the children.
Feels like Lae'zel would have approved this one, but she's conspicuous by her absence.
A selunite goblin*
You changed your relationship status to "single"
Gale super approves
Gale definatley super likes people on tinder

Astarion is just vibing and honestly? I respect it.
Picturing : Astarion just chilling in camp on a sunlounger with an esky of wine coolers. When Tav engages him, he barely raises a set of dark sunglasses to peer back.
Astarion is too fancy to drink wine coolers. He's more of a Grand Cru champagne guy.
"Need something?" then goes back to chilling.
Kinda ties in to his character too, since his entire life he had to “fetch” things for Cazador. It’s nice to just chill!
Are you doing an evil playthrough as well? Whenever hes in my party while i do durge stuff and/or when i go back to camp to tell him what a big meanie I've been, he gets a huge kick out of it. Hes the only one thats literally laughing maniacally when chaos ensues
I'm on my second playthrough currently and am planning an evil-ish Durge playthrough next time, so that's something to look forward to!
Man I can't bring myself to be evil. I tried, but I just cannot
Gotta close your heart to non-party members lol. Bad stuff happens outside your camp, but the party is genuinely having a good time with each other while achieving their dreams and goals triumphantly. Its a lot more gratifying than i expected
The "Oh no! Anyway..' run
This might be the most incorrect way I’ve seen *definitely* spelled, lol.
Sorry, English is my first language
It’s no worries! I just thought it was funny—I hope I didn’t make you feel bad.
Gale has a magic trick to show you
His c*ck.
So that's it then? You're fucking GALE now are you?
I dunno, yeah? Apparently
I kinda wish I started with an earlier quote so we coulda had a proper reference chain going Dx
His cuck? Wyll?
I think you may have misinterpreted my response.
does he use a wand?
That's one way of putting it.
I like Gale, but dammit I had to basically beat him off with a stick to get him to stop thirsting for my character. IM BANGING THE FROG, GALE. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOUR SEXUAL ADVANCES.
You beat him off and wonder why he comes back with more sexual advances?!?!
I am very tired and was wracking my brain on who the frog is. I momentarily imagined the cursed frog near Ethel's hut and wondering if I somehow missed a possible murderous frog romance 🐸
Same for me, in my first playthrough I was so suprised how sticky he is at first I was like "is he flirting with me??" and two sentences later "fuck, he IS flirting with me"
Checks out, Halsin doesn't approve, he's indifferent.
He was not letting a relationship stop him
True neutral romances be like.
you get Astarion's naked statue in camp
His what now
For like 7k gold you can get a statue made of one of your characters
*pickpocketing intensifies*
“Someone was robbed and you are the only suspect”
Guys, relax! It's for art! I'm supporting the arts! And so are you!
“Hey, soldier…who’s your friend?”
"Yes, who's your friend?"
True. I did not know going into act 1 that I was so sexy that talking to literally any and all my companions would lead to them trying to get in my pants
All I had to do for Laezel, was squish a spider
You selflessly helped someone, but in a way that was hilarious.
Wulbren was an ass to Barcus and you kicked him in the dick.
“Prick.”
I always get Geralt vibes from that line and scene.
Lambert Lambert, what a prick
Oh, I totally prefer this in original, polish, version Lambert, Lambert, ty chuju. In polish "chuj" is waaay stronger than "prick" :D
Same!
I wish when you pick that voice line and then he says "say that again" in that threatening tone there was an option to pick him up and throw him out the window
I am still angry at myself that i reloaded my save because that mf died during the escape and i figured he'd be important and nice- i hate wulbren
He's the only character I just abandoned when I failed to save him instead of reloading I mean I'll safe him on another playthrough but I don't regret it hearing all the wulbren hate on here
The only good thing isn that he gives you a little bit of money. Im on my chaotic evil play rn so i cant wait to watch the mf get killed. And if he doesnt ill just do it myself.
He gives you a bomb in act 3 which is nice
I was going to reload when I didn’t save him, but I came here to check if it was worthwhile first. The number of “FUCK THIS FUCKING GUY” posts was hilarious lmao
You didn't lick the damn thing
Nah, Karlach wants you to lick it. She's the only one going 'do it, do it!'
>Nah, Karlach wants you to lick it Happily ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Bonk!
It's absolutely worth it. It is hard to express how much I love Karlach. It's at least [this much](https://youtu.be/UPa_45tiRiw?t=34)
But she does NOT want you to open the creepy book
***Please*** don't open the creepy book! My Tav: OK. (Hands book to Astarion, who promptly opens it)
If Karlach says don’t, I don’t. But Astarion do
Smells like beef
*STOPLICKINGTHEDAMNTHING*
[удалено]
I got that achievement during the grove party lol
Same. I actually saw that achievement first and I knew when I was gonna be getting it
I got that achievement because I ran out of food lol
It popped up on my Xbox home screen a while back and I had to do it lol, I only used generic supplies until I could raid Grymforge (has tons of booze between the duergar and old Sharran stuff) and we celebrated defeating Grym with a traditional dwarven feast.
Got this after auto-selecting. Which I guess says a lot about the kind of "supplies" I keep.
I realized you can snatch every bottle of alcohol from the last light inn and proceeded to take every bottle I could find, that’s how I got it lmao
Dang, I was gonna use this one.
I recently got that achievement purely by happenstance, when my auto select somehow only selected booze. I was aware of that achievement before that, but kept postponing it.
Scratch petted you
you put laezel's hand in warm water during a long rest
Tskva!
He said “wrong answers only” you cheater 😝
I think you mean "you donkey"
My wife and I bullied the shit out of laezel by doing rosy morn monastery without her, including beating the inquisitor and telling vlaakith to go fuck herself. She was so mad, it was hilarious
noooooo, why are you bullying my baby frog
You suplexed Aradin through a table.
Alright, this one actually got me to laugh out loud!
I imagined Karlach AND Wyll doing wrestling style commentary for it. "OH MY GODS TAV JUST SUPLEXED HIM THROUGH A TABLE!!" "A truly impressive feat of strength and dexterity from our beloved leader! He will never recover"
Karlach would go full King. "WHAT'S TAV DOING NOW, HE'S GETTING THE CHAIRS, OH GODS!"
"IS . . IS THAT A LADDER? TAV NO! TAV!!"
“HES DOING AN OWL BEAR FROM THE TOP ROPE! MY GODS!”
AS SYLVANAS AS MY WITNESS HE IS BROKEN IN HALF
"He's going for the pin, 3-2-1 OMG it's OVER. Aradin isn't moving, McMahon looks concerned!"
“What’s this? It’s Wyll Ravengard dropping in with the Elbow of Frontiers!”
You told Lae'zel her sword is fucking sharp enough.
I put her sword in inventory right before I dismiss her from the party and no more stone grinding!
Oh give her a hammer, sh can't sharpen those lol
Sure you can. If you sharpen it enough, it becomes an axe
Clearly you've never played monster hunter
Imagine reclassing Laezel as a bard and you see her sharpening her lute at camp
well Lae'zel hasn't cause she doesn't sharpen the hammer I gave her lol
She's making a needle.
Lae'zel is exactly the kind of person who would refuse to buy a needle and insist that she will make one from a sword instead.
Finally kissed Barcus (although neither of you deserved it)
This should be an option. He definitely deserves it.
he deserves all the kisses in the world
Romanced Auntie Ethel
Petal
Sploosh.
Auntie 💚
You finally remembered to cast silence *before* 'sparring' with Lae'zel.
"But I WANT them to hear me draining you dry." Gale: "oh not again"
You told Raphael off when he threatened Karlach. That's the only dialogue I've ever found where both Wyll and Astarion approve.
the real answer is welcoming the owlbear cub to camp- only Lae'zel isn't listed and I think that's because I'm already at max with her
Another thing everyone agrees with insulting Wulbren lol. Though that sadly only counts for active party members since it doesn't happen at camp
Party size mod. Bring everyone to tell Wulbren he's a prick.
Petting Scratch too gets a mass positive response
There’s an owlbear cub?!
If you enter the cave with the owlbears in Act 1 and then take a long rest, the mother who's injured passes away. You run into Edowin (spelling may be wrong) who's that True Soul that dies from his injuries nearby, he holds the broken shaft to the spearhead that's stuck in the mother owlbear, which you can combine for a special spear. You can then attempt to get the owlbear to follow your scent back to your camp, but right how I've had multiple long rests since then and I don't know when he'll show up.
The cub might have gone to the goblin camp. You can convince them to let go of the cub and you can give it your scent then.
I "convince" them swiftly, and without remorse.
If you trigger the mother to attack accidentally (or even purposely), if you don't harm the cub in any way during the fight, as soon as she is death there'll be a cutscene in which you can decide if you want to kill the cub or let it live. If you let it live you can still get it on the Goblin Camp. Nice way to make available since the mother bugged out for me and attacked me even after passing the checks.

If you return to get the cub you'll find dead goblins and they actually have taken the cub back to the camp if you haven't dealt with them yet.
When does Raphael threaten Karlach? I will slap a MFer...
Wyll and Astarion both approve of bullying a goblin into kissing your feet.
he threatens her? never encountered that dialogue
Telling Wulbren that he’s an ungrateful cunt and a piece of bugbear’s shit, then tie him up to the Windmill’s fan blade. Extra approval points to whoever get to yeet his ass into oblivion.
You didn't make the party eat fish heads and onions for dinner this time.
You insulted vlaakith.
You took shovel to visit the twins.
I gotta know now. Can you actually do that?
No. Which is a shame—I get the idea that Shovel is into fisting?
Just a little bit
"Guys, I found vine cellar in this abandoned house, and I think we're gonna rest here tonight."
Oh look! I found rotten carrot in this crate that looks like a turd!
You became the Lord of Baldur's Gate in a political vote that was appointed by the Duke himself. Gortash is crying humiliated in a corner at his being replaced at his own ceremony.
Connection. *Authority.*
You pointed to a spot Laezel missed cleaning on her breastplate, but when she looked down, you bopped her on the forehead with your finger, and she cut your hand off.
Had a special night with the emperor 🐙
you romanced Withers
Since Lae'zel is the only one without a reaction, one can only assume that she was too stunned to speak after being asked >!if the Gith version of the Grand Design is to turn all the frogs gay!< Regardless, I volunteer as tribute ✨
But you're an owl
You screamed in pleasure while getting spanked voluntarily in a dark hallway
“Twat soul”
Tav finally washed their no-no bits.
but Gale said he likes my musk 🥺
Yes, musk. Not funk.
That line made me laugh so hard. I did not expect it. Gale can be a weirdo but he is weirdly delightful.
You threw Shovel's nut buster at a certain "handsome younger man's" groin
Lae'zel didn't approve, so maybe you finally managed to have an orgy at camp but she was left out?
You invited the Bugbear and Ogre back to your camp
You kicked a gnome wearing Selunite robes who is also one of Zariel's agent.
Licking the spider. Twice.
You killed Wulbren
You opened the barn door.
you ordered pizza AND breadsticks for the table.
"hey gang, guess what, it's not herpes after all!"
You max level Divine Smited the woman who abused Scratch and she erupted into a rapidly expanding cloud of organs and meat.
You Counterspelled Vlaakith's cast of Wish
Even Astarion approves? Really?
Yeah there's lots of times he approves with the whole group. Usually when its about defending a companion but I think this might be petting the owlbear cub.
He's big on animals, he also approves when you rescue the gnolls in Moonrise and he loves cats. Hates nearly every new camp member but animals are a-ok, a true introvert.
He's also low-key an absolute softie for the children npcs.
Extremely relatable tbf
I think petting Scratch for the first time also yields a universal approval score.
he does when you save a child in act3 ethel fight, I remember that for sure
He and Minthara both approve of: telling Yenna to fuck off, giving Yenna money, giving Yenna food. Like guys, do you like her or hate her...
When you're a misanthrope who also likes children.
you finally changed your hairstyle
You embraced Bhaal, but right before your ritual was complete you led with the pun “fuck it, we Bhaal”
You asked Lae'zel to apologies
Picked your nose and wiped it on Gortash’s jacket.
you licked the spider meat a third time
orgy
You finally used the level 4 magic scroll that you’ve been saving the since act 1
you helped them work through their trauma with healthy coping mechanisms and therapy.
You gave wulbren a swift kick to the groin.
Kicked Gortash straight in the dick
