They all LITERALLY just met, would you murder for someone you just met without evaluating the situation fully? If so you may be qualified to be an American cop.
Bare in mind that for Karlach to be here, this is a Tav who at the VERY LEAST has already killed the fake group of Paladins that Karlach herself had trouble finishing off.
@@michasokoowski6651i played a wild magic sorcerer (like irl dnd) who loved fireball and well… it went about as well as one might imagine. not too much damage! no TPKs! 😭 i love the stupid wm sorcerer table lol it’s so funny. iirc she turned into a potted plant once 😅
Love how Wyll immediately knows Astarion's a vampire because he's a monster hunter. Also Gale just being the classic d&d epitome of a "I don't care, I will cast fireball" wizard
Did you have your ears plugged up when Lae'zel stepped up to flirt/threaten him in your defense? If anything she was the most effective as she had him more distracted.
@@eslin2845 except she has NO other dialogue to support your head canon, but she has a ton of dialogue that shows that she wants/needs you alive. You're just yapping TBH.

@@TeamLexana From giving him magic items you got too much affinity prettty much almost maxing it out, it made it so he was hitting on you almost instantly, then a bug where you rejecring him wasn't properly flagged, so he was pretty much hitting on you every few rests until all romance cutscenes were used up. And then people not understanding social cues and what he means by "showing you some magic in his tent"
@@michasokoowski6651 LOL. Magic moves in his tent. Gale is such a dork. I gotta get around to romancing him. I usually turn him down at the tiefling party. Can't stand the Mystra. Mystra. Mystra. routine for romance. Duuuude, I don't wanna talk about your Goddess ex girlfriend, AGAIN.
Honestly, since she's a Tiefling he could have gone for some real dirty blows. Personally, I think he considered doing that during tge brief pause before going with "Fire Girl." Probably decided against it because she's VERY clearly a person you don't want to push too far...
I'd like to him try, hehe. I accidentally miss clicked during a combat encounter and had Astarion bite Karlack and.... he did NOT like it. I'm pretty sure Karlack laughed at him too. 😂😂😂
I love how there's some measure of veiled threat to all of them, even if it's just long-winded... And then there's Karlach going fully Nic Cage. Astarion's retort would work better on just about anyone else in the world lol
Gale: "But if you use that knife, I will incinerate you." Astarion: "And your friend with me? Hardly." Gale, specced as an evocation wizard with sculpt spells: "Try me."
Tav: Hey, Astarion. Remember that time you tried to kill me. Astarion: Oh...you still are sore about that? After all we have accomplished together? T: No. No. If I was in your place and needed answers I would have done the same but...why the damsel in distress routine? A: To distract you of course. T: I got that. But why the damsel? If you thought I worked with the ilithids, I wouldn't have bothered to help you. At all. A simple ambush would have been sufficient and more to your advantage. And to any innocent it also makes an impression thay you are just a roadside thug, taking advantage of a stranger's kindness. A: Oh...tomatoes tomatoes. Everything worked out didn't it? T: Not on the first three play though. A: What? T: Hmm?
Probably because he saw you (and potential companion) killing the brains in the ship wreck (he says so), so he thought that saying he saw one would interest you. But well, it is canon that he isn't a mastermind.
@@Call3ndraYes, but if he saw that we are killing the brains, than it's obvious we aren't working with the mindflayers, because they wouldn't attack us as the thralls. Yea, it's canon in the epilogue that Astarion's brain is more smoother than the rest if your Tav is a mindflayer ha.
@@pativi6643Also I suppose it depends what you did before in the nautiloid. You have the option to befriend a brain. What if he saw that while still being trapped in his pod? And now he sees you killing those brains. Those brains in the ship wreck may have gone rogue for all he knows and that's why you would want to kill them even though you are with the illithids. Who knows what's going through his mind. But agreed, he could have hid in the shadows and pounce there. (even though there wasn't much shadow to pounce from xD)
But did he even know what a mindflayer is? As Tav we’re like “who what where why? Thrall, no, uh, explain” to Lae’zel - so it’s not actually that strange if he doesn’t know Illithids or why we wouldn’t want to kill this brain like we did the others.
I remember my first interaction with astarion. I head butted him and said he owed me more then an apology. He responded with sarcasm, and then months later he was the best man at my tavs wedding with karlach
I love to think of this video as it’s being played around the table. All of these intimidation or persuasion checks and conversations zipping between players around the table. And the DM gets to Tav and goes “What are you doing for your turn?” “I just fucking headbutt him.”
I love how they’re just going around the table, failing intimidation check after intimidation check, and even the specifics of the dialogue is on point for how players would speak, and how the DM would respond. Really shows how much the developers know their audience and community, it’s really very heartwarming.
This scene is always so goofy to me lmao. None of the companions adopting a combative stance, Astarion awkwardly craning his neck to look at them thanks to the weird decision to have this confrontation on the ground, it's just so silly. They've reworked a handful of other sequences in the game to give them some improved animations, I'm surprised this one still hasn't recieved the same treatment.
Gale: but if you use that knife I will incinerate you. Astarion: And your friend with me? I mean said knife is currently at Tavs throat if you use it *properly,* Astarion, there wouldn't be much left to save anyway 💀
He's going to have more than just a chip tooth if he tries to eat her heart. Kind of hard to rip off somebody's face when it's burned to literal cinders.
I really wish they would've gone with Gale feeling the need to explain everything, something like this. "If you use that knife, I will incinerate you." "And your friend with me? Hardly" "No, see if you use that knife, she'll be dead, so when I incinerate you, it'll just be you. Because she'll be dead."
LOL I love their outfits. :D Except for Karlach everyone looks like they are on their way to a party and Astarion looks like he is coming from his reading (book title: "How to hide your vampiric nature").
I saw an Interview where Neil practiced and perfected the "Astarion giggle" and he mastered it so much that it's become his real laugh when he's not paying attention. I love Neil so much.
Gale and Shadowheart make me feel like “Aw they really do care… in their violently protective ways.” Also that little laugh as Astarion tackles has me rolling xD.
![Astarion slowly falls in love through greetings | Baldur's Gate 3 [Cinematic GMV]](/img/1.gif)
They’re not even standing to get ready for a fight, they’re just standing like they’re dissapointed at Tav for getting ambushed 😭
so sassy for people who DIDN'T WARN MEEEEEEE
This ambush was so obvious, I wish there was an option to be like "I can help you if we go together, lead on.", so that we won't turn our back on him.
They all LITERALLY just met, would you murder for someone you just met without evaluating the situation fully? If so you may be qualified to be an American cop.
@@Majin_Koolaid yeah but SHADOWHEART NEEDS US ALIVE IT MAKES SENSE TO PROTECT US SO WHY DOESNT THE BITCH GET UP AND HELP
Bare in mind that for Karlach to be here, this is a Tav who at the VERY LEAST has already killed the fake group of Paladins that Karlach herself had trouble finishing off.
I like how Gale sounds like an automated defense bot:
"Attention citzen, unhand Tav or you will be incinerated"
Damn I can hear their robotic voice reading this😂
DROP YOUR WEAPON, YOU HAVE TWENTY SECONDS TO COMPLY
Gortash is that you
@@ASSIST_I actually read it in that voice. 😂
Tav, you're being rescued. Please do not resist.
Gale: I will fireball our way out of this
Everyone: WAIT
Don't worry! He can sculpt spells (if he is an evocation wizard).
Your psycho friend joins you on another campagin: Happy
He chooses a wizard: worried
He doesn't spec into evocation wizard: PANIC

Or you know "all bark no bite" is just a very common saying
@@akumukami5527he says he's all BITE no BARK.
he's literally implying that Astarion is a vampire.
@@Takapon218 and afterwards he used said that he likely messes up that line. Use your brain
@akumukami5527 he's making a joke, he clearly knows Astarion bites as in he's a vampire
@@Sir_GwanAdd to that that Astarion is only upset/taunted by Wyll out of all of them, he suspects Wyll is onto him.

@loneliberation3483 looks like the Ocean dress from the Basket full of camp clothes mod. Probably dyed from its original color to baby blue.
A cross between Rupert Giles & William the Bloody [Spike]
So Karlach, Gale, and Shadowheart are the most protective of Tav, even only 5 minutes after meeting them. Good to know (:
this is the trio i always keep as my party

His comeback to Karlach was so weeeeeaaak LMAO "Fire Girl" 💀💀💀
Trying to eat her infernal iron heart is not going to be as easy or fun as he thinks.
He makes up for that one with his rejections to Tav
“It’s not you it’s me..I’ve got standards”😢
He's trying his best okay 😭
Honestly, since she's a Tiefling he could have gone for some real dirty blows. Personally, I think he considered doing that during tge brief pause before going with "Fire Girl." Probably decided against it because she's VERY clearly a person you don't want to push too far...

Wonder what mod they used for it

listen it's been a stressful day for him

Astarion with glasses is giving off heavy Bayonetta vibes and I'm 100% here for it lol.

It's Stewie Griffin. Everything Astarion says is either Stewie Griffin or Dr. Frankenfurter.
And now you can never unhear it. :)
About Gale-
He did say *if you use that knife* so it doesnt.matter if he incinerates both lol
damn Wyll really clocked him immediately lmao
Astarion laughed at beginning. Got me. 🫢 LMAO 😂
This scene is always so goofy to me lmao. None of the companions adopting a combative stance, Astarion awkwardly craning his neck to look at them thanks to the weird decision to have this confrontation on the ground, it's just so silly.

It's a bit funny though xD
i mean gale is definetly ready to use a fire bolt on him.
Tav really needed a "you guys are assholes" response 😂 just the way they seem more annoyed Tav got their dumb ass ambushed than anything else
The headbutt caught me by surprise first time I saw this encounter. I like the way Tav thinks 😂 That'll make a fun story for how they all met.
Everyone else: I’ll violently hurt you
Gale: I WILL cast fireball
"And your friend with me?" I'm a tiefling. I resist fire.
Fancy boy 😂
The fucking line up at the beginning is so funny for no reason.
Decking him in the face at the end has me dying. 😭 😂

I mean said knife is currently at Tavs throat if you use it *properly,* Astarion, there wouldn't be much left to save anyway 💀
Right? I never understood that comeback.
He's not a details person.
The fucking MiiCreator Menu Music is going to live forever, isn’t it?
Everyone having a witty line and karlach is just straight to the point "Ill rip your face off" and i lover her for it
The fact that Karlach didn't respond to him saying "and I'll eat your heart." Was a missed opportunity. Lol
You might chip a tooth if you try. 😏
gosh, a vampire with a broken canine... 😂
He's going to have more than just a chip tooth if he tries to eat her heart. Kind of hard to rip off somebody's face when it's burned to literal cinders.

Good luck with karlachs heard asterion
"Ill eat your heart" "Hope you like the taste of metal dumbass"
His giggle before threatening is so adorable 😂
The giggle at the start and the headbutt at the end is just too funny.
That headbutt at the end 💀🤣
Wyll absolutely knows, right? Theres no way he doesnt.
Also Asatrion's reaction to Karlach is literally made for second playthroughs its so perfect
“You stay there.”
“Sacred flame.”
“Wait wh-“
“I’ll eat your heart”
Astarion, buddy, she doesn’t have one
Gale really went “Ha ha, that’s great. I’m gonna fuck you up now.”
Karlach is like jokes on you if you can find it. 😂
Astarion's little giggle is hilarious
Can we just say how well Astarion looks in glasses
I really wish they would've gone with Gale feeling the need to explain everything, something like this.
"If you use that knife, I will incinerate you."
"And your friend with me? Hardly"
"No, see if you use that knife, she'll be dead, so when I incinerate you, it'll just be you. Because she'll be dead."

It's the giggles, you know? 🥰🥰🥰
That Wyll haircut is much better than his default imo 😐
You mean the locs? Yeah much better lol
He looks very handsome, and less prim and proper scout boy. Much more interesting!
He looks sooo good. Gonna start a new save to romance him with locks now 😂
I would have loved Karlach to respond again to Astarion’s I’ll eat your heart with, “I’d like to see you try,”
The glasses are a nice touch...just awkward in this scene 😆

"Keep your distance."
*camera pans to the companions looking disappointed but well-dressed*
Gale: "So I started blasting! BAM! BAM!"
I love how this makes it seem like they're all just standing there making quips to Astarion one after another while Tav just struggles there
The all bark no bite then turn around, he knew and no one can convince me otherwise.

Damn, Wyll thinks he's a comedian 😭
Wait- so no one talking about how Astarion with glasses is so much better
It's cute that he thinks he can take Karlach.
Shadowheart acting as if she wouldn’t miss.
