    Baldur's Gate 3 is a role-playing video game developed and published by Larian Studios. It is the third main game in the Baldur's Gate series, which is based on the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing system. It offers both a single-player and cooperative multiplayer element. Players can create one or more characters and form a party along with computer-generated characters to explore the game's story. Optionally, players are able to take one of their characters and team up online with other players to form a party. Unlike previous games in the Baldur's Gate series, Baldur's Gate 3 has turn-based combat, similar to Larian's earlier games Divinity: Original Sin and Divinity: Original Sin II; all combat is based on the D&D 5th Edition rules.

    I initially questioned why he didn't choose the dark urge origin if he wants to be as evil as possible, but perhaps he didn't pick it because he wants every evil decision he makes to be completely of his own accord and not some compulsion
    On third thought, perhaps he simply didn't see it in the first place

      this isn’t meant to be disrespectful I just wanted to talk about this
      Demons and devils are entirely different species, and tieflings are debatably not devils, and most certainly not demons. Demons are chaotic, devils are lawful, and both are evil, but tieflings can be anything as their infernal heritage doesn’t affect their alignment.
      Also I find it funny that Kevin’s character is quite similar to an NPC my uncle made for a family campaign, except my uncle’s character is secretly a cambion who can, will, and probably has attacked everyone he’s ever seen. Except his father, for some reason. Their dynamic is kind of entertaining to be honest, just a tired lawful neutral middle-aged drow in the middle of a decades-long custody dispute and an evil bard who forgot how to tie his shoelaces and has probably burnt down parts of the nearby city… the secret keeping is on a whole new level with them. “Hey I gotta tell ya, I have murdered a person. Multiple actually.” “Considering you’re a cambion , makes sense.” “IM SORRY IM A W-“
      Family gatherings are hell for them.
      Literally. The cambion adopted two fiends as his brothers and it escalated quickly. Also Lolth got involved and the drow is still scared of her.
      That campaign is a mess.

    36:14 Ironically, letting Astarion drink a bit of your blood during "bite night" is actually the _best_ choice you can make in the long run to gain his approval and rock-hard loyalty. You get two opportunities to tell him to stop drinking, easy rolls, and he will stop. No need to stake him. The game also gives you two opportunities to _not_ do anything and let him drink you dry until you die.... then you only have yourself to blame. But don't worry, that's _not_ a game over, next morning you wake up groggy but alive. Either Astarion used a Revivify scroll on your or Withers brought you back, as Bite Night only happens once Withers is in your camp and is usually triggered by finding the drained dead boar with vampire bite marks on the road to the Blighted Village and then resting at camp. (If you never meet Withers the Lich at the Dank Crypt, he'l just wander into your camp like a stray cat soon after, because he is incredibly important as a camp follower as he can raise dead companions.
    If your approval rating with Astarion is high before Bite Night is triggered, he can also decide to "come out" to the entire grop in the middle of the day and admit, hey folks I'm kinda sorta, how do I put this... _a vampire!_ (teheh!) It's such a hilarious speech.

    • @TF2CrunchyFrog
      @TF2CrunchyFrog Před 8 měsíci +8

      Also, you should've talked to Astarion in the morning after he tries to bite you to get more info on how he is a vampire spawn. But yeah, telling him to get lost during bite night, or asking him to only feed on animals (which is what his abusive vampire master has done, only allowing him rats and bugs) will not make him happy.

    • @MogamiKyoko13
      @MogamiKyoko13 Před 3 měsíci +1

      I have no idea how these triggers work, but on my third playthrough, Astarion just decided to tell us he was a vampire spawn after we killed Dror Ragzlin in the goblin camp. I didn't get any build-up for that one. In my second playthrough, I watched him sneak out of camp, found the drained boar, and then he tried to bite me. Not sure if I just didn't long rest enough in my third game or what.
