He literally said you have to take the vampires blood who drinks yours to become a true free vampire

thank you!

Thank you!!! <3

Thank you! - I had a few friends online help out to dig stuff :) - Took us maybe about a few weeks of playing. - Uhm, i think i wanted to do something like a Venice Canal haha that's why i have that water with boat in the middle of town. Everything else after that was made up as i go along. :)

@@cessxplays AMAAAZING WORK 😁😁😁 Venice Is such a beautiful place, that's one of the reasons Assassin's Creed 2 Is the best 🥰 Thanks for sharing

Thank you! 😍

I think people know it but it's a game and not reality so people are more likely to defend his ascension. And also thirst over this scene, even though, if you scratch beneath the surface, this scene is extremely disturbing. Like I know why it's hot to people and that's valid, but if you choose the option to do the insight check you actually find out that he thinks Tav is degrading themselves by going through with it. And that says a lot about their future relationship dynamics, the real spark they had is gone and replaced with what he had with Cazador. Even though there's still love, he can only be with Tav as long as it's based on control. Else he'd offer to make Tav a real vampire or accept them as they are but that's not an option. Like he says in the beginning; the biggest threat to a vampire is another vampire and he can't have that threat even from Tav. It's a game so it's not like anyone is going to question the morality in choices but it's odd when people claim he still loves and respects Tav the same way after he ascends when he's been saying contradicting things throughout the storyline and how being a vampire spawn is the literal worst and essentially the same as being a slave

@@thekitten9777 yeah I get that. Maybe I get too invested lol, but I’ve romanced him on like, every playthrough bar one. The first one, I wanted to help him and let him do the ritual but the moment I saw ascended Astarion I couldn’t take it and reloaded. The whole point of his arc is to help him overcome the trauma of 200 years of, well, Cazador. Tav is definitely degrading their selves by going through with it but so is Astarion. Because by becoming like Cazador, he’s no more free from Cazador than he was before the tadpole. Normal Astarion would be absolutely horrified at seeing his ‘ascended’ self.

@@MissChambersxo lol that's literally me. I checked out what ascension was like out of curiosity but I only made it to the first dialogue the morning after and then I noped out. He wasn't Astarion anymore for me, everything I loved about the character was gone in a heartbeat. I agree that spawn ending is the "good" ending for me and the only ending I played cause can't stand AA, I was just kinda explaining what makes some players attracted to that ending, I guess. They most likely know what they're going to get ,aka a pretty evil and corrupted Astarion and it's what they want. But canon for me is a soft non-ascended Astarion on the road towards healing, it makes more sense for his story in my opinion in regards to finally breaking free from his past life

@@thekitten9777 So, if you haven’t actually seen this play out: Astarion does give us a small portion of his blood. Even one drop should be enough to turn a Spawn into a true vampire. What Tav is, is known as a vampire bride. It’s a lesser known phenomenon that came about in the Curse of Strahd campaign in 5e. Which honestly makes perfect sense. The control that he has over us isn’t forced compulsion. It’s our emotions. A vampire bride is emotionally and mentally linked to their creator, which means Astarion is able to control how we feel about being his consort.

@@frostkitsunelive7661 of course I have played this scene. Yes, I know DnD lore. No, it is not confirmed that Tav is a vampire bride/groom also called a "vorlog" even though the process he describes sounds like the dark kiss aka the process whereby a vampire creates a vampire bride, but this means essentially nothing in the actual game if it isn't expanded on or relevant for the gameplay. You can imagine whatever you want as your own headcanon but if it's not clarified it isn't canon, a romanced post-AA Tav is referred to as spawn in BG3 and nothing else

Yas! The game has really good music!

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it :)

Try to reach for the last fire cave of mining or at least the second to last and sell ore ore ore ! Biggest and quickest moneymaker so far for me

@@Rebeccapetridis oh yes I just unlocked fire mine but what I was trying to do is to melt that ore for bars to upgrade tools but tools upgrade is so expensive and I have no money to do this no money to upgrade the house to get kitchen and it's like a dead end. So far I have pick axe and scythe upgraded to silver...I got gold bars but no money to upgrade. I guess I'll have to farm that ore and sell it raw. Thanks and happy new year!!

@@Voltomessif you’re doing a lot of diving, the dehydrator is so helpful with ocean forage. Also focusing on the mason jars with fruits and vegs and animal produce are what’s helping me. It def takes a long time to earn a lot of money ☠️

@@LaniBeanz I finished the whole ocean , Icleaned up everything so now the purpose of those caves is just to get there and farm that garbage for loot right? I also finished mines, and I try to get my first chickens or maybe one cow.And then like you said I'll try to focus on mason jars.

Plant LOTS of crops every season. Only go for the expensive seeds and preferably those that regrow. Once you have the Greenhouse, in Spring, buy lots of strawberry seeds and plant them in your Greenhouse after fertilizing. If you already upgraded your seeds at the lab to Osmium quality, even better. Then wait for them to grow each time = profit. What I used to do early on was go diving the entire time and sell my sea critters and treasures I found. VERY good method for early-game. 🩷
