I do not know how you resisted "Despite being neither brave nor intelligent, you are one of the finest killers I have ever seen". That is a flawless line.
I just got this line today and was like "AWW, thank you, lol." Meanwhile thinking of all the unnecessary fights I got us into accidentally. I'm not even trying to be murderous, I'm just stubborn sometimes and these NPCs are easy to piss off.
@@Shear666 Yeah I learned quick to lie my ass off in conversations with strangers. I get more information that way, less fights, and plus Astarion is entertained when I lie. So, win-win.
@@irradiatedkrill548 playing as a gith is in my future plays planned, currently playing a tiefling (as im a gay cliché and i almost always play tieflings in dnd) but now i also want to play giths and drows to see how it affects the gameplay, but also deep gnomes cuz they're really cute ! (just struggling, i dont know if im taking gith or drow for my dark urge play planned ahead)
@@saturne6957 man, drows are fun. I've finally been playing one and the blighted village and goblin camp has such different interactions. It's HILARIOUS how everyone responds to her
Close, but I have a video where the character kisses Astarion's different disguises. It's buggy for dragonborn and the gnome-halfling-dwarf disguises. 😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-70_Vpr0iKDY.html
It had me thinking... You know how in the ascension ritual he has you look at his back and show him his scars via the tadpole? Why can't you just do that during the mirror scene?
Honestly..... There's a mirror image scroll available. He can cast it. Technically, he can even cast that spell himself if we chose certain spellcaster classes for him, which you can even justify as getting trained on the spot. He's a high elf, so good chances on having some talents, Gale is right there too. I like the scene, but there's sooooooo many things you could actually do for this, totally in canon.
Yeah! The Changling in my RL D&D campaign turned into a 6' 8" Elf to 'blend in' in a predominantly Elvish city and literally everyone kept staring at him while almost everyone in the party shook their heads at his life choices (exception being the runaway noble who didn't know anything about elves to begin with...)
I would have searched for a very good painter or drawer and asked him/her to draw him down exactly as he is in life. Not as good as a mirror, but it's better, than nothing. People could also lie about what they say about him.
I did that with the artist/painter quest. I just switched to him so that the painter would paint him instead of me. Didn’t get anything special out of it but I like to think he liked it :)
@@claran3616 something about them feels very Klingon/Jem'hadar (especially with their readiness to kill and die for a god they won't question, yeah im big DS9 over here) with their penchant for brutal space warfare and heavily humanoid-alien design
I do always find it funny that Astarrion as an elf talks about not remembering what he used to look like because he's only in his 200 which is literally like an elven 20-something, like his parents are probably still alive. Halsin is in his 300!!!!
But he's been a vampire for longer than he's been a living elf (he died at 39), meaning no mirrors for 161 years. Halsin could at least look at a still body of water or something.
