'Master in the Bedroom' Cazador Remark: Astarion Baldur's Gate 3 (Early Access)
Vložit

- Edit: This video was taken from the Early Access version of the game two years before release, and it seems that this scene was cut from the full release.
This choice has been hounding me every time I have this conversation, and I just knew I had to choose it even though I was sure it would make me feel guilty. And guess what, it did! I would suggest not doing this again in the future.
This is the angriest he gets in the whole game. Even when killing Cazador he's passionately relishing it, among the storm of emotions. I think it's likely Cazador forced himself on Astarion at some point. Because Cazador is appalling. To be teased about the two of them having sex is the most sickening thing for Astarion, especially now, he's free to express his feelings without being slapped down.
You really think Cazador raped Astarion?
He very likely forced spawn on each other. You figure the older ones likely “trained” the younger.
@veronicashields4405 what, you really think that? Cazador wasn't interested in how they were supposed to lure them in
It's not that likely, true vampires like Cazador don't really care about body experiences.
@@dominika3762 Cazador is an abuse enthusiast, he made the spawn eat vermin and bugs just for fun even if his body got nothing out of it
That was...intense.
It's a horrible thing to say and all, but daaaaamn this voice acting and beast like pose is so good.
Right? I wasn’t expecting anything less! There are some other antagonistic/rude options like this that I’ve also chosen as an experiment, but nothing as intense as this. Really demonstrates how much he was opening up and trusting the PC, and how much he dislikes being teased.
I feel like the joke was implying some things that he was super uncomfortable with and that's why he had such a negative response to it. The emphasis on "choice" is concerning--I feel bad for people who just thought they were being playful and ended up really upsetting him.
@@Kat-xy7fm I definitely agree with that, in terms of the non-consensual aspects of him and Cazador’s relationship, which is probably all of it. I’d hope people would have picked up on the context given his voice and the fact that he needed to be persuaded to even give up that information.
@@oliviabees Yeah, that response is really volatile and it's clear you've hit a nerve, and I think the writers did a good job of making it clear what nerve was hit.
@@oliviabees He likes to be teased, just not in that way haha.
Welp that has some horrible implications :/
I don't know what haunts me more. EA Astarion's rawness or EA Tav's unhingness
Tav can be plenty unhinged in game, killing Karlach, sacrificing a companion to get a minor buff from BOAAL, giving Shart back to Viconia, help Lorroakan capture Dame Aylin
Im gonna go with: they removed this because we can already assume that Cazador has done that to him. Having met the other spawn, it's clear that they resent Cazador but not to Astarion's extent. Astarion says it himself more than once, that he was 'special' to Cazador. I don't doubt it happened as a means to further break and humiliate Astarion, a high elf former Magistrate who was most likely laying down laws that interfered with Cazadors goals.
I think that he was harder to break, and that's why Cazador fixated on him. I truly don't believe that Cazador sexually abused Astarion himself, but rather "pimped" him out to anyone he could lure back for their blood. From dialogue in the mansion, it's pretty clear that he doesn't like getting his hands dirty himself unless he has to.
@@anonthe-third2367 No, he broke quite easily, according to the other spawn
@@ferael0013But it also sounds like Cazador was targeting him for harsher punishments and he was finding little ways to rebel. But it also sounds like Cazador himself was a victim of abuse and torture by his master, so alongside the natural corruption vampires suffer just from existing, Cazador likely tortured Astarion exactly because he reminded him of himself
A magistrate is basically a judge, he wouldn't have had the authority to "lay down law(s)" per se.
Edit: also in his mostly scrapped backstory from early access, as a magistrate he was working WITH Cazador, handing down unnecessarily harsh punishments to Gur people as a cover for trafficking them to Cazador in exchange for money (also why he was killed by a group of Gur). They probably scrapped that because they wanted to avoid implying that Astarion's subsequent abuse from Cazador was deserved.
@@snowpocalypse69 Yeah, I'm sort of happy they scrapped that. Astarion is already just teetering on being problematic. Him being deserving of that torture would just feel yucky. And also, why would Cazador have him killed? Or turn him and then not use him as a judge or something?
Never assume whom is in one's bed..... Especially if the person is visibly terrified of mentioning the person.
100%! I’d hope that most players could read the room enough to figure out that this is not a time for jokes, but you can’t be sure.
@@oliviabees Honestly, the first time I saw this answer I misread it as "I thought you'd want to be the master in the bedroom" and almost went for it assuming it would be the kind of "trying to take the painful edge of the memories by making a joke" kinda answer. Then I read it again... oof that was a bad misread.
@@cassandramuller7337 I’m pretty sure that was the intention of the line, honestly! It’s the kind of normal jokey thing that many rpg protagonists might say, but only would seem like a good option if you were ignoring some of the context clues going on, or didn’t read too closely!
@@oliviabees Yeah, honestly sometimes I wish rpgs would add the tone at the end of your dialogue choices. This one was (going off the reaction) clearly mocking. That's not necessarily clear from just the text. But yeah, phrased this way around it is kinda tone-deaf.
I also think that if the phrasing was the way I first read it (so the other way around), it wouldn't have been as bad because you're basically acknowledging the fact that Astarion likes to be in charge. That would indicate that you know him that well at least and if the tone were slightly teasing it could be interpreted as the kind of answer one might give because one doesn't know what to say but knows the other person is in a bad place so you're trying to take the edge off the darkness. I might have gone for ananswer like that because Astarion cme across (to me) like someone who doesn't really want people to feel bad for him. He doesn't want to be pitied. Honestly, none of the answers are that good...
@@cassandramuller7337it really is clear from the text... What else did you think it meant??
Horrible thing to say. Thank you for posting to let us know
I rarely feel bad for video games choices anymore but this kind of joke-y response to what is obviously a sensitive moment just broke my heart! I had to choose it once so I would never have to again.
i'm still mourning this scene being cut.
it was cut? 🤔
Yes, this conversation follows one of his Early Access nightmares (before Daisy was cut in favor of the Guardian) when you find him on the ground, asleep, begging Cazador to stop (whatever he was doing in the dream). I appreciated that he got SO angry at the player like this, we don’t really get to see a lot of that in the final release.
@@MeowseMagi-kg1yb
They should really put it back in. Weird that they'd cut something like this.
i think this choice could be seem as a "sarcastic" remark. Especially if Astarion hasn't told you his history with Cazador. But his reaction to that is intense I love it. Its feels like a genuine reaction.
I agree, it totally reads like any other ‘eh eh get it? Sex joke!’ option, but in this case it is not, in fact, a laughing matter. His reaction is so great, and very realistic, imo.
I think his comment about choice vs instinct applies here tho. He didn’t choose to react like that, it was an instinct.
The biggest difference between this and a Bethesda game is that there are consequences for what you say. Like it doesn't lock you out of anything or anything like that, but it's not all just "yes," "yes sarcastically." "no but yes." Dialog doesn't all lead to the same place and provoke the same response. You can be sarcastic or worse, but the characters act like people and respond in appropriate ways.
Man, I would not be surprise if this is a “approval -100” situation
**types in notes**
"Customer was extremely upset"
I just had a flash back to a call center
@@Ladyladieladee lol I deal with that all the time 😂
I literally write reports like that all the time. "Resident seemed agitated." When they literally threaten my livelihood because I didn't bend the rules just for them because they obviously are special and pay the most to be here.
Notice at the very beginning that you gain his approval when asking about his dream, and he decides to open up a bit...only to get it thrown in his face with an insensitive joke. To earn his trust only to betray that trust immediately...ouch.
One thing that seems to have carried over to current BG3 - trust is still extremely important to Astarion and a lot of his biggest approval centres around it
I flippantly used this choice in EA with zero idea of his past, and I was FLOORED by his rage. SO GOOD. I was like “ooop ok this is where I reload”
What's EA?
@@KitsuneFyoraearly access lol
@@knightfuryproductions3134 oh thanks ☺️
"Apologies king, for the disrespect. Let me try again."
why did they cut scenes like this aaughh! he was so much more angry and hostile in early access ! i wish they kept this aspect of his character. his development and character growth would’ve hit a lot harder if he was this…intense at the start but i guess the writers were scared people wouldn’t like him so they toned him down and made him more likable :/ which is kind of valid since people already didn’t like astarion in the beginning in full access even though he’s evil in a much more charming way😭 i ADORE the astarion we got in the end but i just think i would’ve appreciated his writing even more if we had to fight a little harder to gain his approval and break down his walls which would be incredibly realistic for someone with the level of trauma that he is.
This feels more like a behaviour Ascended Astarion would have. Spawn version would have been too skittish to act like this.
@@furballrage595in EA it was just Astarion. Prickly and sensitive in the beginning but also baring his teeth when you poked him. I liked his introduction better
Making Astarion more charming wasn't the developers trying to make him more appealing to players, it's Astarion trying to make himself more appealing to the player. He spent 200 years charming people for his own survival, and even after escaping Cazador, he's still in survival mode and convinced the only reason people would willingly keep him around is to use his body. Astarion's more aloof attitude we got in the actual game is more consistent with his backstory. And seeing him slowly accept his emotions, including anger, strikes me as a unique story. Besides, seeing a truly angry Astarion in the final game is even more terrifying, because we rarely see it.
Instead of talking Astarion down or helping him ascend, you can just say you won't help him, in his mind abandoning him. He kills the spawn, wishes a horrible death on us, and then permanently leaves the party. That scene and a few others are so much harder to watch knowing how reluctant Astarion is to act on his emotions.
@@thecheck968 i get that he puts on a facade to either seduce tav or get them on his side but it would still be in character for his mask to slip in moments like this where he’s too pissed off to put on the usual charade
It was cut because this was a after scene with the dream lover. And that entire arc was cut
Damn poor guy raped tortured made a slave and a part of him has trouble coming to grips with it.
even has conflicted feelings on it on what cazador did welp I know what side quest I wanna see come to a conclusion and hopefully my man can find some peace and lighten up.
He also has a bit of a Freudian slip with the entire "choice" threat. The issue of choice is clearly very important to him. And given how he likes to be the chaser rather than pursued romantically, he broadcasts he likes to be the one calling the shots. He wouldn't be so insistent on these things, if the question of choice had always been a guaranteed. Obviously things happened to him that were NOT his choice, and he's scarred by it. Safe to say what we think happened, happened.
Been a long time I've seen characters so well written.
@@Pagansong agreed this character alone has me super interested in getting the game
But we don’t know for sure what Cazador did, other than the markings on his back, denied him eating anything other than rats and owned him as property. It’s not like Larian has specifically said anything more especially in the category of something as serious as rape. (In fairness I’m terrible at reading between the lines, I’d much rather people just said what they meant) so unless I’ve missed a specific cut scene, it’s all just conjecture.
@@DarTunwarm He did say torture, torture one self at command, feeding on corpses of dirty animals and bugs, watching him eat/slaughter the beautiful people he had to hunt for him. Rape is a type of torture too so I wouldnt be surprised if it happened. I am not sure if the dialog means that, since the main character had the wet dream, so the mention of the master after that subject makes it look like he had a wet dream of his master. But might be just a nightmare with his master and we are just looking too much into it. He went through enough, I hope he didnt have to endure that too. But who knows, 200y is a long time...the torturer might find new ways to torment his victims.
Astarion seems to be a very strong person after everything he went through. I would expect way more nightmares, cold sweats, anxiety and surely not that happy sarcastic vibe he always gives.
@@ketnettythere's a line he drops when talking to dark urge. It implys being mind controlled. Remotes controlled hands. I think I know what that means. He had to entertain the guest, I think that is when he was mind controlled.
Sad that they delete it, although I wouldn’t have chosen it anyway, I can’t be angry and mean with companions, mistreat them, especially with Astarion and Karlach.
I hate that to get to know the character better, see the best emotional scenes - we must choose the most terrible options
It took me probably an hour and a half to succeed on the persuasion rolls to even get to test the dialogue options (it was so difficult to find videos on CZcams to help me out), but testing this one hurt the most. My gut reaction was to ask him if he was alright and try to squeeze his shoulder for reassurance, but man... hearing him lash out like that really makes you feel for him.
I don't even play the game and I feel bad for him. Jesus, that was rough.
Also, your character looks great. Really like the skin tone and tattoo/crown thing going on.
It’s really rough, I know! And considering how relatively early in the game/friendship it is, imagine how much worse it will get as we learn more. Thank you for being so kind about my character!
This was cut, and i am very disappointed because god Neil gives one hell if a performance
The fact that it implies, that Astarion has been raped.. I just want to hug him so much. I relate to him abuse wise. Ive never been tortured or raped or put through the abuse he has, but ive been put through 10 years of mental abuse by my own brother.. I understand how scared he is, how easily he lashes out often.. especially if you want to comfort him. its a trauma response.. I wish I could give him a hug..
You think Cazador had sex with Astarion? With a spawn? No way
Nah, I don't think so. I think thats more that its revolting for him for you to suggest that he could be intimate with his abuser and want to do it.
@@schabowy6149Why is that so unimaginable to you? Abusers can and have raped solely as an expression of power and dominance over their victims rather than as an expression of lust. Rape is a powerful tool for exploitation, manipulation, and immense physical/mental harm on the victim, and I certainly can't see Cazador being above using such methods.
Cazador wouldn't have needed to consider any of his spawn as an equal 'worthy' of sleeping with him nor would he even need to be attracted to them; he'd just need the desire to abuse, hurt, toy with, and humiliate his victims, which are desires we know he fulfilled with all of his spawn repeatedly over 200 years.
@@schabowy6149 no but Cazador forced Astarion to sleep with other people to lure them back to become part of the 7000
@@elenalizabethoh sure, obviously, but considering how he spoke to Astarion, no way he’d touch him like that. He’d think it would be beneath him. Idk if rape would be the proper word to describe what he made Astarion do tho.
Holy SHIT. Poor floof! 😟💔
I'd never have the heart to say something like that to him; I'm too protective of him... ;-;
I know right ;-; Don’t worry, I reloaded and immediately went to do morally questionable activities to make him feel better.
@oliviabees And you think the autistic people who chose that option are arseholes?
I dont think its my kind of game but Im not surprised Neil landed the Best supporting performer award at the Golden Joystick Awards. He's so good. Plus the script is so cool. Absolute badass
Tav definitely deserved that ngl
Holy hell, I'm about to cry
Give Neil a raise
goddamn the dialog in this game is so fucking tight
This dialogue really reveals a lot about the Ascended Astarion ending!
I've never heard him this angry. I'm actually scared!
The sarcastic/mean options are so painful but also so worth it to see how the characters react to being poked
that confirms those suspicions, gosh i feel for him
I'm gonna need like side by side comparisons of the older versions and the updated one for nerd purposes at some point
It's an interesting idea but I understand why they cut this. Astarion is very vulnerable in that moment but it makes no sense to talk to tav about his fears at this point in the game. He talks about cazador, once he is starting to trust the player and there is a reason why he is one of the companions that really distrust you from the very start. Maybe they could have put this in act 3 but then the nightmare scene was also to explain why astarion would want to bite someone. Sooo....yeah, I think it was the right decision from the writers.
I hate they discsrded so much of the content from EA. There were good and appriooriate lines there. Also companions remarks regarding Ethel or Astarion's telling Nettie you have a tadpole. Quite a lot of good ones.
This one shows his more angry side. I like it. I actually liked how the companions were more prickly in EA.
And Astarion's comment about: you're not a stranger anymore. Just strange. Was really good, since they learn so much about themselves so quickly via the tadpoles. That speeds up normal relationship bonding.
@@dominika3762 well, personally I don't like a lot of the EA content but I enjoy reviewing the ideas and I agree a lot with their decisions.
Angry astarion is all fun and such but in my humble opinion, it doesnt fit into early-game-astarion since he just wants to survive and charm the player.
Still, maybe they could have used their ideas in another way instead of just deleting them.
@@DepressionOfMyCat but he isn't angry without a reason, you hurt him he snaps back. I guess he can roll on his back like he does now. But it just seems you can be really nasty to your companions and they just don't fight back that much.
@@dominika3762
I agree. Tav's choices should have consequence, even when merely talking at the camp. I think the devs are walking a fine line where every time they try to fix misunderstandings players might have, it can end up going too far in the other direction.
Good for him, he shouldn't take anyones shit, he has every right. Love the emotion, the intensity of his expressions. Cazador is a monster and deserves nothing but the worst pain , I hate that Astarion went through that, for so very long. 😢
i really wish they kept this in. It's such a great show of character, and pure anger.
fucking hell. i *really* don’t want to meet cazador
early access Astarion feels like he punches walls
I understand why they removed it. If it’s act 1 then chances are Tav doesn’t know that Astarion used his body to lure victims for Cazador. Let alone that Cazador could’ve abused Astarion in that manner.
So his outrage would be extremely confusing for any player who plays without spoilers.
And thus this scene imho wouldn’t have impact it deserves.
But if I was programming this game I would’ve just moved this dialogue to act 2 or even 3.
It was removed because the dream visitor changed. In EA Astarion dreamed about Cazador instead if the guardian and this scene refers to Cazador dream.
Coming back to this knowing his full story, yeah that was a cutting line.
Well that confirmed my worst suspicions...
0:21 MY FUCKING JAW DROPPED WHYYYYY
HIS SCOLDING FEELS SO REAL I WANNA CRY 😭😭
I mean I would be pretty pissed if my friends joked about my sexual trauma too 😬
Oh my, that line was beautiful.
Damn I wonder why this scene was removed. It's so full of emotion and intense. I can feel the raw emotion in his voice as he hisses his threat which is totally deserved btw. The fact that Astarion was most likely raped by Cazador makes his story even more tragic than it already was. Sheesh, I just want to hug him, stroke his hair and kiss him on his forehead for hours.
some of the dialogue options they give you for astarion are like...mean or rude doesn't even BEGIN to cover it. i'm assuming this is before he tells you anything abt cazador? if it's after, that is beyond disrespectful tbh 😭
actually either way [before or after he tells u anything] its beyond disrespectful bc like. if before, then you know he was astarion's master which is obvi in a negative sense so like, why in gods name would you say such a thing. if after, then its like 'why in gods name would you say such a thing' times 2 thousand
I think it's good to have such options, because if you are tryi g an evil or chaotic playthrough, it makes no sense to be nice all the time... especially as Durge.
Kiss him
If given the option, I would. And, big love for the Cicero icon. Adore that fool.
@@oliviabees Oh...
I was
tired and wanted to kiss that evil face, so I wrote "kiss him". Yeah, I think obviously i have... a taste for jerk(¬‿¬ )
God, this was good. I'd watch the hell out of this movie, if only it WAS a movie. Reading other comments I see it was removed from the final version of the game. I guess I understand why. But the acting... the emotion. What a scene! I'm glad I got to see it here at least. Thanks.
Could you explain why you think it was removed ?
@@V1DE0-STARZ Because it was about the abuse Astarion suffered. He said he was "special" to Cazador, implying that Cazador forced himself on Astarion. I think they thought it would be too intense and triggering to real world SA survivors to see this glib comment elicit his extreme reaction.
@@V1DE0-STARZ It was removed because the dream visitor changed. In EA Astarion dreamed about Cazador instead if the guardian and this scene refers to Cazador dream.
I'm kind of glad they cut this out. I don't like the implications of it and goading a survivor like this over rape is pretty goddamn wretched.
Wow…damn.
He’s so angry, rightly so. It almost didn’t sound like Neil to me at first. It’s amazing watching all these older scenes and how much the game has changed.
I mean tbf I'd probably react the same way in his situation
Am I the only one who absolutely adores Astarion but- THAT DISRESPECT ME AGAIN MADE ME CACKLE- I’m sorry I can’t take it seriously it’s too good
LOL I knoowww he sounds like a 15 year old trying to sound intimidating
Wow... that’s a rude thing to say to him :0 wth... he’s opening up and you’re like.. joking. Yikes. ;-;
I know, I've just have played through multiple times and never had the heart to choose it, and I assumed others didn't either. So I took one for the team! I immediately reloaded and did the proper thing, don't worry.
@@oliviabees thank you! I can’t never pick this one, it hurts me : (
I picked it on my first playthough because he hadn't talked about the vampire stuff yet.
He yelled at me and I'm like "fuck go back"
That escalated fast.
Yeah, that... was quite sudden.
They really give you the option so say the worst shit to your companions in the game.
"astarion dissaproves"
wow that choice was brutal
Your character is so beautiful, like a dark elf Courtney Cox
I hope she got -80 approval 😅
Oh shit... This is the first time I see him that so angry... Not only denying his ascension...
i know he's hurt and angry but the way his voice drops into a growl at the end got me like 😳
Oof! That was intense! I went through almost 3 years of emotional abuse before I was done with it (for the sake of my four little ones) and separated from my husband. Even now, 10 years later, I can't do confrontations, this was almost triggering. But I'm glad it's out there.
Crazy how all us survivors have been brought together under one camp and mean lil fictional elf. But for real, I hope you’re feeling in a better place now.
When I heard him talk about this for the first time, I had thought he was talking about a master as in teacher, like a guru. Maybe he wronged him or something. Then I read that third option and knew this game would be quite dark xD
Oof that was hurtful
wow the writing is insane
is it just me or is he much more intense in general in early acces
You know I’m glad of clips like this on CZcams you show those dialogue options by picking them so we don’t have to. Would never want to pick that option
That was beta, this dialogue isn't available now however I think they should've kept it, it's a well deserved threat and more insight into his past
It was in early access three years ago?
How long did this game exist without me knowing it?
Yep! It was in early access starting around October of 2020 I believe. It was just the first act, though, and with less companions!
“Astarion disapproves” is an understatement.
Sorry but his "Disrespect me again" sounded so unnatural. I do see why devs desided to cut this out.
I mean, yeah, Astarion's pretty bad, but he's also seen some bad shit in his life
Hey so anyone else feel like they want to throw up after watching this?
Yep especially when you know his full story. I think this, “I didn’t know how to say no” and “perhaps. But he did take them” are my top three “I think imma throw up this boy needs a hug so bad” moments
This is...heartbreaking. The voice acting is brilliant but I'm kinda glad they cut this from the game...I cannot imagine speaking to him like that 😭
Thank you, Astarion, for reminding us Vampires CAN be scary... 😨
Ok, starting with a disclaimer - Astarion is my favorite character and my go-to romance. But that being said :
1) this is freaking hilarious and I’m not even upset that someone would say that 😂
2) I think this is the one voice line I don’t like from Newbon - “DISRESPECT ME AGAIN” the delivery sounds too much like a football jock rather than our Bri ish boi
Wow. That's the one time I hear Heisenberg in Neil's performance.
I hear a bit of Heisenberg. Not that I'm complaining...
Yeah, I think Cazador's head is going on a spike in my playthrough.
I'm glad they cut this. And if they didn't, I think Astarion should kill Tav for this one. Wow
Omg yes Astarion you go boi. GET THAT HEALING BABYBOI.
i don't get it, does this imply he was raped/forced?
It implies some sort of non consensual sexual encounter with his sire, either coercion/compulsion or just straight up force, we don’t know any more details.
@KrzyWasabi Agreed, I didn’t get that vibe either
Idk if it implies that specifically, but he was definitely forced to do things and the “joking” implication is a disgustingly horrible one and incredibly disrespectful towards what he went through. Joking about such a thing, disrespecting him and his trauma, is what made him angry
Honestly, given how Cazador used him and how he bractically sees himself as having been Cazador's whore, I'd be more surprized if Cazador hadn't been raping him directly. He's basically like a magical undead human trafficking victim, and that is exactly what goes on especially with the victims who are 'special' to the pimps.
I haven't even played this game. But watching this play out, i really felt for Astarion.😟
Kind of wish they'd kept it. He deserves to be angry.
;-; id cry to be honest. But honestly wouldve done the same thing if someone said that to me. So well met astarion.
That back turning in the end is peak astarion gayness. Perfection at its finest, the voice acting and motion on the character itself just show how much potential baldur's gate three has even at such a early state of development.
Full game isn't out yet and there's already lots of peeps seeing being gay through a highly stereotyped lens... 🤧
@@unrulycrow6299 Yeah I don't see him as gay, just open. Like he could go both ways and be satisfied.
@@sageo7618 Did you mean bisexual? Because that’s canon
@@morgan9660 Like I legitimately find his character to be completely open to anyone, not just cis males and females. Versus Gale who I would consider to be more into cis females exclusively. From his romance choices to the way he responds to Astarion when he flirts, lol.
@@sageo7618 You can be bisexual and still be attracted to trans people though
Im specheless with this scene. Is so good made how deep is his trauma and dont wsnt the most tinny joke about that. My poor boy
Astarion looks like 1990s Erik Muehlhausen
deserved from that line
I liked EA Astarion so much more than the full game Astarion. RIP sweet asshole prince I miss you
That obviously is a topic he doesnt wanna talk about or be reminded of 😅
Why is this actor not acting in films? It's chilling!
I agree! He's been in some TV before, but mostly he's a video game actor (Detroit Become Human, Resident Evil). In fact, Neil Newbon (Astarion's VA) was close to quitting acting before he landed this role! So glad he didn't.
why did they cut it? gods
I'm pretty sure they cut it because it very clearly alludes to rape. And by playing the game we can kind of already deduce that this is one among many horrors he was put through. I don't think they wanted to spell it out so clearly
Gale? GAAALE! You were right, get the Alchemist's Fire!
We know Gale disapproves of vampires, but I was surprised to find once during a fight in camp where Gale was present but not in party he started chucking health pots at me and alch fire at Astarion.. while Astarion was friendly and in my party.
that was SO OUT OF POCKET
RIGHT! I can only imagine that he permanently leaves your camp too. Like holy shit, the dog reference is crazy
D a m n .
F8! F8! 😭
Are we able to play early access from steam? I'm not a gamer and this is the first non console game I plan on playing
I believe it is possible to roll your game back to an earlier version using external tools, though it’s not something I’ve ever tried to do! Early access only is Act 1 of BG3, with some companions unavailable, so I probably wouldn’t recommend trying to go back and play EA unless you want to check out stuff that’s been changed in the full release.
omg why would you insult Astarion like that :(
Now I want to do a run and piss off Astarion as many times as I can
What was the option they chose? I can't read it
“You and Cazador? Never thought you’d want a ‘master’ in the bedroom.”

glad they cut it bc that line delivery was cringe im so sorry neil 😭
Wouldn’t say it was cringe, but it really didn’t sound like Astarion. Sounded more like Heisenberg honestly, who was also played by Neil Newbon
@@100deadinside9 Astarion in EA was played a bit different. I could hear it - they definitely re-recorded some Astarion's lines because the acting is different.
