Well, i just find hilarious, that the line, what gave Gale to Astarion - "Ask, before you bite" - can came from the very vampire's mouth, if you play a Dark Urge... (Depending on your choices during a dialog.)
Tbh, Gale being really understanding about the whole thing is hilarious. Then again, he probably realizes he's not on the table any more, when Astarion knows Gale tastes bad.
17:34 Wyll gay panicking so bad he doesn't know how to change subjects naturally so he just starts talking about his mission to kill Karlach, donning the Blade persona, made me laugh so hard I love him
What a bunch of hypocrites (well I guess except for Karlach and Lazel), all of them had the secrets of their own, especially Gale! The orb is far more dangerous than a little anemia after a sleep.
In my Asterion playthrough I bit the injured mindflayer. Shart was still like "you shouldn't have been keeping sekrits from me!" riiiight princess, I'll be exactly as forthcoming as you are. I am surprised you didn't show how to activate Asterion's musical theme? Just hop up on the rocks behind his camp location I rather like that theme. Wish the other companions had similar. (Or if they do, I have NOT found it yet.)
@@Moon_Punk I just found it last night. I was like where the fuck the bards at, started snooping w the camera, looking around the woods up there. I went eh when I couldn't find em, and just enjoyed the music. I replayed it a few times.
Same. Especially Lazel. When I was watching it, and it got to her scene and her not waking up, I called BS. As fine-tuned as her senses are, and as hyper-vigilant as she is, no dice roll in the world should have her not waking up. MAYBE on a nat 20, but I'd still say the roll should have been with disadvantage, since Astarion's never bit a human before, so isn't practiced in being stealthy about it. The rest of them I suppose I can buy on a high dice roll if the bite is very light, but I still think it should be a disadvantage roll. Like, come on, how many people would not feel their neck being *bitten*? Heck I wake up if a mosquito or something lands on me.
I haven’t done an origin run yet, but I’d really like it if Astarion had the option to tell Gale and Shadowheart “I thought we said no more secrets” when theirs emerge, and if they were at least a little bit ashamed. Especially Gale, given how he’s a literal explosive threatening to go off for the entirety of act 1.
Love his nightmare scene, it's absolutely chilling. Also, I could listen to you read a phonebook. Your voice is so soothing. Ever thought of voice acting? And I'm shocked that Lae'zel didn't bite Astarion back!
A very sweet comment, thank you! I actually am currently pursuing voice acting. :) As for Lae'Zel, I half expected a battle to break out! Her biting him back would have been hilarious!
@@Moon_Punk I second this. I think your voice is very fun to listen to. ^_^ Happy I found your channel. And agreed, that would have been both in character, and hilarious.
Durg have that 1'st camp scene too(diffrent dialogs);p propably all have that, but moment to trigger these scenes is sooooo narrow;(( for durg it's miss if you loot body or kill mindflayer near astarion....
Getting these scenes to trigger can definitely be a bit finicky! I tested Astarion's on multiple character saves. The Cazador dream was completely skipped over a few times when recruiting certain characters and being in certain areas.
Man Astarion's expressions really speak volumes about how ashamed he is when he's caught (also I love Astarion looking smug when imagining killing Cazador ❤) and how relieved when his companions don't kill him. Seeing Astarion's POV also makes his dynamic with my Tav very interesting lol. Especially since in her background she's looking for her vampire spawn brother and doesn't believe vampires are evil and lets Astarion drink whenever he needs (While obviously this takes place in headcanon and fic, not in game, I have her being VERY wrong about her brother. He is very much evil, and was before he was turned. His goal is to become a true vampire so he can turn and control her and "keep her safe" basically imprisoning her. And ironically, his Mistress keeping him on a leash is a good thing)
There is one thing mising for Astarion : I tried throwing garlic at him multiple times, or putting some in his inventory, but it didn't trigger anything
Google "The official response to my ticket about Astarion not taking damage from eating garlic" Also, garlic is mentioned somewhere in Act 3 (Cazador's palace)
I love that Cazador's VO sounds just like Craig Sechler... its not him, its Graham Hoadly.. but his inflections and meter during the ritual scene.. I can only see Cazador as an Evil Adoring Fan now :p YOU PASTY GHOUL! Got dam man :p No Ignis needed for that burn :p
As an Elder Scrolls fan, that's awesome haha. And if you don't pass the persuasion or deception checks, Shadowheart roasts his sneak attack skills. Absolute savage, she is.
This video made me realize just how savage Shadowheart is.
Gale scolding Astarion like a misbehaved cat.
Reminded me of his convo with Tara haha
we love gale for that
He is a misbehaved cat

Astarion biting Karlach like a Hot Pocket straight out of the microwave.
A hot pocket 🤣🤣🤣
LMAO

Out of everyone, it would be him to be fair haha
He scolds Astarion like a naughty kid he caught with his hand in the cookie jar lol
@@burglarcat5406Cat owner behavior. It's similar to the tone he takes when you find Tara's been hunting messenger pigeons
wyll willing to spare astarion bc he's charming😭 Ok same wyll but istg
It's the roguish charm!
"For the first time in centuries, you feel happy"
Damn Larian, I know you're right but don't make me emotional AGAIN
😭
Larian has mastered getting us in the feels at this point!
17:34 Wyll gay panicking so bad he doesn't know how to change subjects naturally so he just starts talking about his mission to kill Karlach, donning the Blade persona, made me laugh so hard I love him
Aww Karlach is adorable as always, telling him she’ll get rid of Cazador if he comes near him
Love how much she cares for everyone!
KARLACH IS SO SWEET OMG, I LOVE THIS GIRL
Protect her at all costs!
What a bunch of hypocrites (well I guess except for Karlach and Lazel), all of them had the secrets of their own, especially Gale! The orb is far more dangerous than a little anemia after a sleep.
I was thinking the same about Gale! Man literally has an explosive on standby!
Gale is super sweet about it, though! He seems like he feels a comradery over it, even. Honestly, it's what made me drink the Bloodweave kool-aid.
@@ANPC-pi9vu Bloodweave kool-aid lol! Love it!
i mean there's secrets and then there's biting someone without their consent. Most people would be far less understanding
They are angry about being bitten not about someone keeping a secret tho
"I AM NOT FOR EATING" XD
Man was SERIOUS
Karlach is such a real one! She's my second fave after Astarion
The absolute best girl!
My second fave after Astarion is Gale. :3.
Mine too! ❤

She's just as secretive if anything! I really like that theme as well! If I find any others for the other companions, I'll definitely share it!

@@yheralawha6921 Finding it for the first time is such a pleasant surprise. Glad to know you enjoyed it too!
"you shouldn't keep secrets from me" -Cleric of the goddess of secrets
'I am NOT for eating" like he's a piece of wax fruit or a jar of bees.
I really appreciate the amount you get to look at his beautiful face if you're playing as him
but you can't hear his wonderful voice D:
The fact that they dont wake up is wild to me
Dice logic

Thanks for collating these

We don't deserve Karlach.

Did a bit of research on this! Apparently 5e vampires are not affected by garlic, although that would be such a cool detail!
@@Moon_PunkOr Astarion could say somethng like "nice try, but it's a myth"
@@biaise9052 Now that's a missed opportunity for him to make a one liner about garlic.
Google "The official response to my ticket about Astarion not taking damage from eating garlic"
Also, garlic is mentioned somewhere in Act 3 (Cazador's palace)
True! I’m just gonna headcanon that the tadpole made him immune to garlic as well.
Laezel with compliments wtf
I love that Cazador's VO sounds just like Craig Sechler... its not him, its Graham Hoadly.. but his inflections and meter during the ritual scene.. I can only see Cazador as an Evil Adoring Fan now :p
YOU PASTY GHOUL! Got dam man :p No Ignis needed for that burn :p

By Azura By Azura By Azura!!
Honestly is is bad I prefer playing as Astarion rather than using him? One might say I’m kinda a “Sucker” for vampire Mythos.
Lol! The vampire narrative definitely raises the stakes!
@@Moon_Punk nice, I sure hope the puns aren’t making anyone’s blood run cold.
@@theredguardowen8083 That'd be a bloody nightmare, wouldn't it?
Thirst trap
Gale's not mad...he's just dissapointed!
Dang you sound a little bit like the narrator and it’s fitting!
Maybe i missed it,but what happen if you fail that 5 wisdom saving throw after biting your companion?
They're killed!
Hmmmm. What happens if O!Astarion bites one of Withers' summons instead of someone else?
Time for another biting spree!
“And Gale, if you want” damn why do y’all all hate Gale so much 💔
I bit her when i did an evil run snd didn't even go into dialog and she Said his name like "excuse me? You haven't exactly met him yet" lol
I wish og characters could speak when we play as them😢
Karlach does!
I wonder what happens when the other conversation options are chosen after they wake up...
Wait my smoothbrained baby boi has thoughts in his head?
Oddly enough, if you romance Astarion as Gale, Astarion can drink you blood during the sex scenes.
I bit shadowheart cause gale at the time you technically couldn't
18:51 screws up and shows the wrong NPC during the cut scene??
Yes! It's a bug!
I don't think it's that secret he gets this either way probably who knows
Okay so you want a tv show? Some of the extra scenes like the rolling around one would be more like tv and less like a game, right?
An animated series would be awesome!
