  • If you let Araj Oblodra take your blood the first time around, and don't force him to drink the tainted blood back in Moonrise towers, this cutscene will happen. You meet her again in Act 3, Astarion gets fiercely protective over you and furiously defends you cus he doesn't want to see you hurt.

    The second "reward" that I forgot to show was that you get a passive skill called "Unstable Blood", which causes your blood to explode when in contact with fire.
    EDIT: A number of people are asking how do I get this cutscene or who she is. You must meet and interact with her in Moonrise towers in Act 2, she will be around the first floor, alone in her lab. You need to be in a romance with Astarion, have good standing with him, respect his choice of not forcing him to drink her tainted blood in Act 2 for this cutscene, and also allow her to take your blood the first time around. You will meet her again in Act 3, progress a little until you enter the Lower City and she will be at X69 Y84, then this exact scene will play.
    Not sure if this affects it or not, but I had also completed his personal quest at Cazador's Palace, and asked him not to ascend. I've recorded and uploaded my first encounter with Araj here: czcams.com/video/UgNfwpk7aQE/video.htmlsi=jUhU0RQXxoyw4lrC

    I love how back when she offered us that potion in exchange for Astarion's bite and Astarion said "no," we had the option to say, "He said no. There's nothing more to discuss." And now that she wants our blood, after we've said "no," Astarion sticks up for us and chimes in with, "He said 'NO,' You should learn the meaning of the word."

    Fun fact, small spoilers depending on if you did Astarion's story with Cazador first:
    When she says the line, "Erm...Safe!", around 04:15, Astarion in this playthrough says "Say no - the only thing she's offering is pain and I don't want to see you hurt."
    But with a maxed dispositioned, Vampire Lord Astarion, he says, "Do not trust anything this woman says. And certainly don't drink anything she offers you."
    I read a comment somewhere that vampires in DND have an alignment shift; that love in a sense is twisted to lust, protectiveness, ownership even, and it really comes across in this line. One will care about the player because of love and not wanting to see them hurt from a potion. But Astarion the vampire lord will see the potion as potentially harming what is *his*.
    All the other lines remain unchanged though.

  • @AskForDoodles

    I didn't really know much about the drow race, so I just assumed Araj was just a coincidentally unsettling/disrespectful individual (asking permission from ME about a service she wants from ASTARION, and asking ME to make him behave, like I was his handler or something). I didn't think much of it besides assuming she was put here as an excuse to poke at Astarion's autonomy issues specifically.
    But then later I read about drow society and how all males are considered property/breeding slaves of females (and I was playing a female-bodied Tav), and I realized: 'Ohh, I see; she thinks he's my dog'. She wasn't being a bitch, she was just being a highborn female drow xD
    Wish there would've been a difference in her tone depending on what gender you play as, though. Like, if you play a male, she'll adress Karlach, Lae'zel, SH or Jaheira instead like you're not even worth her time.

    she is definitely my favorite npc in the game.
    so many other people be like "i killed her back in moonrise tower and didnt let her get my blood or make astarion drink her blood!
    me: my drow princess, you can have it all!
    its a give and take kinda relationship because as i am in conversation with her i switch characters to astarion and pickpocket her dry so in the end everybody is happy. i also gave astarion the +2 str because with his dual wielding attacks he could use it more than my warlock main.

And the more I learned about Astarion, the more I could draw parallels between his story and Kain's, so the spawn became another one of my favorite comfort characters. 💗

      No, I'm on neutral/good alignment. Not sure if this helps but I'm Dark Urge, finished Astarion's personal quest so I'm romance locked, persuaded him not to ascend, and accepted his "no" during the first Ablaj encounter in Moonrise.
