Avoid Astarion Getting Cursed by Sebastian Rare Conversation Choices BG3 Sad Scene All Responses 

I was unable to illustrate it on this Tav, but if you fail the Persuasion or Intimidation checks during the conversation, Sebastian will also curse Astarion.

Sebastian was a minor character in the grand scheme of this game, and had very little dialogue compared to most, but his impact on Astarion's arc is massive and crucial. And his ability to stick with you is such incredible writing and acting.

this scene and sebastian as a character made such a big impact on me. you can tell astarion really truly cares/cared and feels awful. i really really really really like sebastian.

The sheer agony and rage in Sebastian's voice...it's so well-acted.

I don't think Sebastian curses him but that Astarion gets a deep negative phycological reaction because the debuff can also appear post Sebastian conversation when he is speaking to Tav

Just when I thought Astarion's 200 year life was miserable I see Sebastian. Held in a disgusting prison like cattle for 170 years. Astarion hated Cazador when he did the same to him for just 1 year and here is someone for 100 and fucking 70 years and all this time he must have been thinking how he was fooled, not seduced...fooled by Astarion. All he remembered is being wooed by Astarion, his first kiss and then being led to Cazador's palace maybe with another promise of a "night you won't ever forget". Explains why Sebastian hates him so much. He truly lost everything after being charmed by Astarion. All in one night. His family, friends, his entire life...lost in a blur. Astarion complained of not seeing the sun, Sebastian saw nothing apart from that cell.

My god, Sebastian's actor's performance was phenomenal in this scene.

On whether Sebastian is literally putting a magical curse on Astarion or if his words just hurt him that much: split the difference, and Sebastian is a bard. His words are magical, but they cut deeper than just a Vicious Mockery because they jarred him so badly.

It almost feels like it's more indicative of astarion's feelings he took on in that moment, just based on the description of the curse.

And then people proceeded to let him complete the ritual 😭 like what?!?

Its almost like choosing compassion gets you somewhere cruelty or callousness wouldn't! Gosh.

my boy got the ptsdebuff 💔

I was wondering how people got this debuff...you literally have to pick the 2 most callous, inhumane options 😅 how did anyone get this by accident? I can see getting it on purpose for RP but damn.

My first time down there i was set on ascension fot astarion, but wow That whole event changed my mind, bravo to the va's.

I've played through this twice and I've never realised he could curse Astarion! I guess I was lucky?

i had no idea he was the one who cursed him! wow

I just had shadowheart cast remove curse on him after, couldn't let my boy walk into a big fight with a debuff

It's a bit odd, I had the curse of the sire on one of my other playthroughs but then it disappeared and now on a new one it's lasting for a while. 🤔🤔

I absolutely love, that he can actually curse him. ^^

Wow. I didn’t even know

I believe I took "What do you want to happen?" - Cause I wanted to now, if they still want to live or not... But he cursed Astarion 🤔 But not sure... I broke the curse after this conversation with the spell, but it hits me hard. 😭

I didn’t even know Sebastian can curse him? I had the scene where they conversed but never saw a debuff or anything :o

So was Sebastian the "darling boy" Astarion talked about? The one that got him buried alive?

I think about this moment a lot

I didn’t even know Sebastian could curse Astarion as an outcome of this conversation!

I didn’t realise astarion getting cursed was a thing. I must just be that good 😎

Wow I think I stumbled ass backwards into this route in my first play through, cause I didn't even know there was a curse he could give Astarion 😂 me and my luck

Poor Sebastián..😢

Remove curse, move on -Durge

Getting cursed? What does it mean? I’m pretty sure mine didn’t get cursed and I just finished that storyline

Me, who never received the curse: There's a curse?

I didn't even connect the first time that each of the seven main spawn's conquest were connected to their own scar specifically. A reminder of the person who damned them. It's wild. I also never got the curse, I kind of want to fail the persuasion check just to see now. What are all the "places of traumatic memories" where this curse is in effect???

Oookay. The curse was the thing that felt more rare to me! My bard passes every check.

The amount of detail put into this game still amazes me!😮😢

Anyone else feel with that curse, Sebastian invoked the Dark Powers of Ravenloft?

Sebastian can curse Astarion????????????????

Wow didn’t know he could get cursed.

Pretty sure Shadowheart can cure the curse too right? 😊

Dude how are you level 9 I was level 12 already do side missions before those so you e9nt struggle

Ah so thats who he was. Ive nevwr brough Astarian down here lol

Got the curse, killed them all. Also didn't feel anything bad after that curse, gave the power to Astarion. Well done, goodbye bad memories 😄 when I saw him I thought oh no Astarion we will get rid of them no worries its disgusting. Its a hell army of angry sex exes.
