Astarion: I'm a vampire spawn Gale (Intelligence 17): A vampire spawn??! Shadowheart (Wisdom 17): Hells! Karlach (Intelligence 8): Well, fangs and red eyes... I had my inklings.
Well, I don't think it's based on inteligence or wisdom but her battle experiance - she fought demons and other demonic powers so she should know when something is /wrong/. Meantime, Lae'Zel is not from this World, SH has amnesia and no experiance and Gale spent whole life in basement - i mean, in magical tower and kissing gods. He probably never was outside 😂
This is so interesting, as it contextualizes the bite scene if playing as anyone else. He was testing to see if Cazador's orders really could be broken, very interesting.
I am not sure I understand how does it contextualizes that it's someone else, where it says Astarion Origin bites. I have a video where it says Companion bites+Dark Urge, and there it would be playing as the Origins and Astarion being a companion biting you in the normal scene that all Tav's get 😅
@resonatinglo the beginning part, I mean, his dream and the part where he's considering biting the others. I presume the Companion version of Astarion experienced the same dream and decided to bite the player in the same way.
@@primrosett Hmmm.... I am not sure we can say that... but maybe... maybe he still dreams it and comes to bite Tav/ other origins ... I've never thought of that... but kinda makes sense... maybe 🌹
@@resonatinglo I mean there's a lot of evidence throughout the game to suggest that the Origin stuff happens regardless of whether you play as the Origin character or not, unless it's something you directly control. For instance we know that Astarion will claim he forgot about kidnapping the Gur kids, but if you play him in Origin the narrator explicitly says he remembers it clearly. If you ask him about it when you find Gandrel he'll come up with a whole line of bs about how it must be a power play from Cazador, but if you confront him about the kids in front of the Gur he'll be all "ahah yes well umm now that you mention it...." Which is to say, Origin is accurate, he 100% remembers what happened, and he's lying. You can catch him in the lie and call him out if you play an original Tav character. We also know that Astarion feeds on a boar on night 2 and tries to bite Tav on night 3, meaning he's not that hungry. That's actually more than he's eaten when he first meets and attacks you. In fact on night 3 when he tries to bite Tav, he's the most well fed he's ever been as a vampire. So we know he's lying about being too hungry to hunt.
@@bearhugzfam649 True... true... I can't argue with that... makes sense... I accidentally bite something on my first Origin campaign so I missed the night 2 and 3 from the origin's perspective... but makes total sense
Poor boy, I hate all of it. It makes a lot of sense though why he bites Tav tho. Also when you realize he's never had a proper meal, his blood lust and ability to accidentally kill Tav makes more sense, too.
@@resonatinglo nah man…even on a failed roll he still latched on their necks…this is def a critical fail for sure. lol that means the devs really set him up for failure against us. Rolled the d20 to always be a nat 1
"Tell them everything - the dream, Cazador's orders, all of it" I think many Tavs would have been understanding if he had done that in the Tav version!
@@resonatinglo It's kinda...not "funny" exactly...but I can't imagine where he even begins on such a horrible story 🥺 Like "I'm sorry! Let me explain! I'm a vampire. And my evil master had enslaved me for the past 200 years until I was freed by the magic of the tadpole making it so I was no longer mind controlled by him. So now, after he tortured me, and made me bring him thousands of innocent victims, and forced me to eat rats for 200 years, I can finally bite people now. So I just kinda...lost control and bit you" 😭😭 poor vampy man
@@Allison_Hart I imagine "Look it's a long story, but the short of it is, I'm a Vampire Spawn and wanted to see if I was finally free of my masters rules... Which, well, meant I had to try and bite something that could think. And I don't know if you've noticed, but you're the one doing most of the thinking around here, ahaha!"
Beginning makes me want to hug Astarion close and protect him from everything bad 🥺 Gale is killing me with that though 😂 They did Shadowheart so DIRTY with her face at 7:39 😂 I can't stop laughing (sorry girl) I love Karlach response. She's always so supportive tbh
Funny cause when you're not playing as him and he reveals he is a vampire and everyone gather to talk about it gale says to not bite him cause he taste horribly and I thought he was just being funny 😂 but no he actually does 😂
Maybe... But it's strange that there is no option for that... it would be good if we could decide instead us just having a no option at all... Do you know that later when they speak the small banter, Astarion asks Wyll is he has dealt with Vampires before and if he knows who Cazador is, and I think Wyll just says No... that he had never dealt with vamps... soo.... I don't know...
The way Wyll found out in mine? I bit Wyll, he didn’t wake up (had to reload when I initially killed him), and then I figured “hey, why am I STILL being asked to tell him, he must know he got bit…” Then the fight with the Gur outside Ethel’s and he confronts me about NOT telling him despite the fact he already knew due to Astarion’s appearance. Except Wyll made a comment about Astarion gnawing on the occasional bandit or whatever…I NEVER ONCE used my bite outside of the already mentioned scene…so, how could Wyll have seen Astarion anyone else?
Yes... I made the mistake to bite someone in the beginning and this never triggered... so I had to make a new campaign so I can record the scene. I did 2 longs rests and you have it... and don't bite anyone 😁🍷🗡
@@resonatinglo yeah, that was my mistake, too 😮💨 It was so convenient because the mob had like 4 hp or something. It would probably be better to not have the ability yet, so you don't miss such a vital scene. Or some inner monologue that you don't want to reveal you're a vampire. Because I totally forgot that in the moment. Anyways, thank you for the effort to replaying and recording it, so I don't have to 💖💖💖
@@inawinchester Haha, Thank you also for appreciating my time! I was seeing this scene in other videos and didn't know how to trigger it, so when I got to act 2 and had no nightmare, something was clearly off , so I read about his quest if you are the Origin Astarion and there's like a diary that he keeps and there you can read when you bit someone and how it progressed. But I recorded the scene and went back to the original save of of being already in act 2
Confessing, Bite ability, and if the vampire hunter outs you this wont trigger afaik. I tested it a bit back in patch 5 with all companions (if you recruit them before resting at all). Wyll gets a bit mad if you are caught biting him. Karlach bite scene bugged out for me. Unless it was meant to skip automatically since you know Karlach radiates hot fire. Astarion went with another companion in my case Shadowheart. The three bite victims are chosen by which ones you traveled with before said rest I think. Is it possible to delay this scene by playing a dead astarion until you get the later comps though idk. I guess this is an act 1 only scene.
Wait if this is in act one I might have missed it because 5 min after meeting Shadowheart and having her in my party I kinda revealed that I was a vampire after trying to bite the boar at the beginning and Shadowheart was surprised but chill about it, then it was never spoken of again with the new companions, everyone just knew I guess
It is in the very beginning if you do nothing vampy related or tell no one that you are one, then a few long rests... maybe 2 or 3 LR into the game, you will have it
Wait a frakking second... Astarion didn't bite me (Tav) because he was desperate, he did it out of some kind of morbid curiousity?? Man, I didn't think I'd feel MORE justified in staking his heart!
Thanks for this. I bit someone in combat and missed all of it. How disappointing. Lol at nobody caring that Shadowheart died, this game has a lot of plot holes.

I love how Gale’s reaction to Shadowheart dying is “damn, that’s crazy” and then immediately moves on 💀
