- With Cazador gone and a new path set, Astarion reflects on his own wants and needs in the face of newfound freedom.
Now.... excuse me while I cry irl tears about this entire questline and romance. Because I love it so much. - Hry
I'd burn the world down for Astarion.
Burn myself, burn my moral compass and burn the world alongside him for his sake
Yes 😭
So would everyone
I know nothing of this franchise yet😭❤ 10/10 would burn the world for him
Idc about the other npcs, my heart is dead set on romancing this vampire for my solo playthrough 😂
"I'm not into men..."
*Astarion appers*
"BUT I might test it to make sure of course!"
well sometimes we have exceptions to our sexuality.
They're just pixels with personalities 😅
@@KinderSurprise008 pretty pixels
Your pfp matches your comment so well LOL
@@onyeenoma Come on, is a old pfp
"You were patient. You cared" That line breaks me everytime.
A cute detail is that at 8:32 he says "This is a gift, you know. Thank you, I won't forget it."
He says the exact same thing when you let him drink blood from you the first night he reveals he's a vampire.
What a sweet callback.
I can't, this is so touching. Especially remembering the "bad" ending version of this dialogs. In this ending he can truly be free from centuries of torture and misery, he can love and be loved. I love this so much 🥲
I find this ending a bit sad. When tav dies, he will be alone 😢
the "bad" one being the one where he ascends?
yeah @@RJ-fs5gx
@@ShiveriaI would hope that over time he would be allowed/allow himself to start healing, and learn how to form normal healthy relationships with people, so that even after Tav is gone, he’ll still be able to go forward in his life.
Or you could just play an elf. I’m pretty sure he’s only in his 200’s so you’d still have plenty of time with him.
@@RJ-fs5gxpretty much. He's totally corrupted by it.
I know nothing about this game but I’ve been seeing this character everywhere and now I get why he seems to be everybody’s favorite.
I normally don't play games like this character made me buy it and God damn it is one of the best games I have ever played if you have an interest I as an internet stranger who knows absolutely nothing about you
@@irisnroses1889 it's been one month since I wrote this comment and let me tell you... yes I bought the game and yes I'm halfway through act 2 already lol. Absolutely bought it because of him and stayed for everything else as well, it's an incredible game
Same here. Someone made an edit I saw and was like "oh my this guy looks interesting" and fell down a bit of an Astarion rabbit hole. Maybe I really should look into it?
He is single-handedly making me want to buy the game and I didn't even know anything about Baldur's Gate before yesterday when youtube recommended me videos of him 😭😂
@@IneffableChild Same😭 I have no idea about Baldur's Gate, but thanks to a funny video about killing and resurrecting Astarion popping up in my recommend, I fell in love with his voice and now I'm down the Astarion rabbit hole.
I love the detail the voice actor puts to make Astarion think over his words. It really shows how hard he's trying to voice out his freedom to speak his feelings out. I think this is the one game I like that makes a character not feel so 2-D and actually adds depth to their character. Surely because he's so dramatic and bratty and flirtatious everybody makes him out to be a complete man whore, but I totally appreciate the choices ro deflect his offers and try to befriend him. And when you reject his offers and try to be his friend he appreciates how you humanize him. But if you sleep with him and offer him the chance to enjoy sex for his *own* pleasure he leaves you when he reflects his own worth. He's got to be my favorite vampire character ever!
Thank god for Neil Newbon🙏

nearly cried omg.
this kinda hit hard as a SA victim
Hits hard as a victim of parental abuse, too.
@@aranyaphoenix everyday i realize i kin this man more and more
you are absolutely correct
i was confused about what he inscribed at first, but i looked it up and, translated, it seems like he added the current year with a dash at the end, signifying the start of his new life :)
the comment I was looking for :)
I also read that he also add his surname too. What an awesome ending
I absolutely LOVE the facial expressions at 0:42 and 0:57. I don't think I've seen any games where the eyes themselves are so naturally expressive without _exclusively_ animating/capturing eyebrow movement.
"Exhilarating. Terrifying. Exhausting."
Goodness Niel! That was masterful!
The vague disbelief when he says "you cared."
something i find really cute is that if i am not wrong, the music that plays over the cutscene is the same as the default camp one, and the soundtrack is called "i want to live", pretty fitting right? also if you lsiten to the lyrics of that oen track is 100% reads as an Astarion love song
I literally cried during this whole scene when I did it. I absolutely love how soft and sincere his voice is through it. MY HEART;;;;;;
Scenes like this are why I'll fight to the death any DnD dudebro who INSISTS alignments don't change or that Astarion HAS to be evil just because of what he is.
Why are both of them so dang attractive 🤭
I am really sad and scared to reach the end of the game. Astarion will be stuck forever in it, no way to keep seeing him beyond it.
Until the Definitive Edition comes out to flesh out act 3.
I think Larian cracked the code for a new Tumblr Sexyman because Asterion has been trending on twitter for almost weeks straight lol
Sexy vampire hotman who acts like a brat but deep inside is a softie who has a tragic backstory and has trauma? That’s a recipe for success for tumblrmen!
There's a cure for vampirism in 5e so in my headcanon Astarion and Tav set off to find one for him after the game 😭
I play as a female Paladin and choosed the Astarion romance. I loved it and it seems as a holy Pala, it was my destiny to slay down Cazador and free my cocky vampire boy. Thanks Larian for this amazing adventure.
Awww I LOVE this ending. Astarion is so sweet and sexy. Literally the perfect vampire romance! That’s actually healthy! Larian really outdid themselves with this game. 💚
god this scene is impressive. much better than the final romance scenes of the other characters I have seen so far.
I feel like its the canon romance of the game considering how big of a mascot astarion is for the game. Litterly the biggest character on the cover art, front and center. Even made a whole april fools joke with him.
@@24_Hour_Majimaand also the only origin character to have his own theme song, as "I Want To Live" has been confirmed by the composer to be about him
@@24_Hour_MajimaI feel its cause everyone loved the way Neil Newbon voiced him lol and developers just put all their strength into this character
@@0912sooli He did a amazing job, thanks for telling me hus name because i honestly didnt know it prior.
I've never played this game but I'm addicted to this character already and I love the character you went with for this video
I love your character they're so gorgeous
aaaaa thank you for thinking so 🫶 hehehe
What he said to Tav is exactly what I want to say to Astarion ❤️
No lie, I'm sitting here in my office crying. I don't care how many restarts I have to do, I am going to get here.,
that is one beautiful MC you got there, damn ✨
them cheekbones are so aesthetically pleasing 😂
Bro got me feeling giddy and shii
“What are we to you?”
“Nothing special of course, you’re only the FIRST PERSON I TRULY CARE FOR.”
I’ve never heard of the game before. Two of your videos on this, and I want fanart and fanfiction on your character with Astarion. Your character, in my opinion, just _works_ with him. I’ve seen other videos, surprised to see that your character was a creation not something already made like Astarion, but I feel it just works with these two. Such a beautiful pair! Hope there would be more! 😍❤️
I echo all the praise for Asterian but I want to mention how gorgeous your player character is. He is as lovely as Asterian himself!
There is an irresistible vulnerability to this pixie elven boy
OMG!!!!! TOTALLY LOVE THIS!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE UPLOAD!!!! LITERALLY CRYING AND SMILING AT THE SAME TIME!!!
omg, the voice-acting is to die for 😍😍😍😍😍
The way I started crying, Goddamn, all I want in life is to be loved the way he loves.
Your character is such a hottie, just right for Astarion.
Your Tav is so beautiful and looks so good with Astarion
Your character is by far one of the hottest ones I have seen. Also thanks for uploading these wonderful romance bits.
Could you please make whole romance from start to finish, I would like to see it! I love Astarions character so much!
absolutely! i'm already working on it right now, actually - aiming to have it up sometime soon. c:
@@dunscaith OMG thank you!
@@dunscaithI would like to see that as well! Your Tav is gorgeous
All that words of love and at the end "nothing special"?... That breaks my heart...
i just gotta say, i LOVE your character!
That last comment is giving "Dorian"
How romantic.... eeeeeee.... left a like.
..... How can you see this and not have an immense urge of hugging and being here for him ??? T_T I screwed up badly on my current play, but I hope we'll be able to help him even if not romanced and if it's only friendship T_T
Now i know what i want for Christmas!
your avatar looks so FINE!!😍😍
How very true blood of them
Bill and Sookie docet 🤣
Thank you
I needed this out of my system. Time to romance Gale 😮😂
As a Devotion Paladin/Valor Bard it feels like my destiny to slay a vampire lord and give his victim an environment where he feels safe and has real agency.
YES MY SWEET?? GODODOOEIEIEIEIRIRI I WISH I HAD MONEY TO PLAY THIS GAME 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
that was bloody beautifu;
On his grave 🤯
To each his own i guess 😂
Whithers just chilling in the background
I ship it until the end of time, nice character. :0
Ijust stumbled upon some videos abut this game... no idea what it is. But now I will check if out 😁
Also I wanna say you character is gorgeous 🤌❤❤❤
Random but your character is absolutely stunning
Damn your Tav is gorgeous! Also what is the armor he's wearing? Or is it a mod? It really suits him.
If I'm not mistaken that's just his new starting armor
hehehe thank you! & if you mean the armour my Tav is wearing: it’s from one of the wardrobes in Cazador’s Palace! I’ve put it as the camp attire, and then toggled the setting that displays that over the regular armour. I’ll find out the specific name when I load up the game in a bit. but if u mean the armour Astarion is wearing: it’s his starting gear that he has on when you first meet him. c:
(name update: it's the Raffish Midnight Outfit!)
@@dunscaith Thank you! And I did mean your Tav's outfit, I probably should have been more specific haha.
He sounds tom ellis no wonder why his voice gives me the tingles
I'm not at all surprised that he was still thinking about Cazador. It took me three years after moving out when I was 19 to finally stop living in the pain that my mother had put me through for as long as I could remember.
You did not get that far in the game and still keep astarion in that armor 😂 I’m always changing their outfits to more armored magical gear
he automatically changes back to that armour for this cutscene (at least that's what happened for me) haha dw he's in much better gear outside of this moment thankfully dfjkhdf
@@dunscaith did you just do a random laugh?! Are you Turkish 🙈
Also, I got this far but Astarion is still neutral about me. I wanna romance him so bad!
your elf is really cute.
I like him the best.
Wow your character is so hot and perfect match for Astarion!❤
Hope you do lots of videos of there romantic scenes, especially the biting scene, that i love to see!!❤❤❤ please 🤞
I legit said out loud, “AYO! Not in front of the graves!” To know one but myself😹😹😹
damn ya'll did the deed in the graveyard. love the story though
sobbing, sliding down the wall at babygirl Astarion. I'm romancing him in my male tav playthrough
Do you still get a version of this ending if you complete his questline while not romancing him?
Aww. I never had this cutscene :<
Is this after beating the big bad?
lmao not seggs in a the graveyard hahahhahaha
i've been binging all your videos because how gorgeus your character is ;o;
is his face a mod ? do you mind sharing the face setting if possible? Thank you!
My rogue has the same face - half elf masculine face 5, I believe.
late reply, I’m so sorry! but aaaa tysm! I haven’t used any mods here, it’s face 5 with the ‘windswept’ hair, I think. there was also some eye makeup with the opacity turned down. hope that helps! c:
@@dunscaith thank you so much for your reply! I haven't bought this game yet (but I'm planning to buy it soon 😆) so I want a reference for my future gameplay
@@candace6466 thank you!!!
Weird question but do you remember what skin tone you used for your character? It looks rly nice and I plan on making a slightly darker toned elf soon so just curious! If not no worries.
If I remember correctly, it was Neutral 6 or 7! hope u have fun with ur new chara when u make them c: 💕
@dunscaith thanks much!
Sulphur tone 6 gives a really nice deep golden tanned look, you just have to make sure you toggle the "all skin colours" option, it looks super nice on my sexy male half elf, especially with freckles ^.^
Did you use a mod for your character's face? He's so beautiful!
How'd you get your character to be so pretty?? :0
ON THE GRAVE?
Hey there,
I know this message might be out of the blue. I'm Ally. I wanted to let you know that I used your Astarion gameplay footage from CZcams without asking for your permission, just for practice in editing.
I'd love to get your approval to make it public, and if you wish, I can credit you as the source. This song is one I've heard since I was a kid in Taiwan, and I surprisingly thought it suited Astarion. If a fellow Taiwanese person sees it, they might have a good laugh.
Thanks a lot!
5:32 don’t mind me
I really hope sleeping with him on his grave isn’t a requirement for his romance. Anywhere else, sure, but a graveyard really doesn’t set the mood… 😅
You afraid to go full Mary Shelly?
@@arctechfox8306 I wouldn't say 'afraid', it's just not my thing. xD
So what did he scribe on his grave?
His tombstone reads: Astarion Ancunin 229-268 DR.
He edits the dates to “268 -“ to symbolize the true start of his life, or his rebirth.
Someone tell Ranboo to play this
Well... now I have to get this game... R.I.P my wallet :'D ♥
i am so normal abt this dude
Anyone have a translation for what's on the gravestone?
Astarion Ancunin
229 - 268 DR
(and what he added:)
498 DR -
@@dunscaith he was only 39 when he 'died'???
@@dunscaith I'm gonna cry 🥺
@@marymaza2187Remember, elves are 'adults' at 100
Heisenberg?
It's the same voice actor.
Does that scene only happen if he doesn't ascend?
Obviously
apologies for the late reply: It only happens on the non-ascension route, yes!
dammit, it was a cool scene @@dunscaith
@@dunscaithreally? I didn’t realize I wasn’t on the non ascension route. this scene happened, but he still talks about ascending. I plan on taking him there and then talking him down…
the ascended ending is so bad and sad compared to this !!!!!!!
This is all so beautiful to see! I love how Astarion mentions he feels safe and seen with Tav🥹 Just so beautiful and touching❤️🙏🏽
Is this game on Nintendo switch
At first I didn't like him, but he's starting to grow on me y'all help....
My husband showed me a scene where they run into a monster hunter looking for a vampire. A few "say nothing" choices and our cocky vampire stabs the guy in the eye
Your tav is even hotter than Astarion 🔥😳
Damn, hetero here but thats some good shit.
Thank you for your clarification, Ball.
you are no longer hetero
Dark Humor Alert: It would've been hilarious if at 4:29 one of the options was: 4. _Finish it for him._ And it just cuts to your character violently murdering Astarion, Mortal Kombat style.
Omg no, but thats fkn hilarious 😂
**Grab a stake**
LMAOOO FUCK, now *i'm* dying.

Astarion is gay right?
Since he can romance characters of all genders it’s safe to say he’s bi/pansexual
@@Nefepants ahh, cool
He's playersexual, but in my canon he's gay.

big minus that your character don't speak
The dialogue in this game is terrible. Far too on the nose. Have these writers never heard of subtext? I appreciate what the actors _tried_ to do with it but there's only so much that can be done with this quality of material to work with. Yeesh
I know writers who use subtext, and they're all cowards, every one of them.
