Halsin is beyond worthless. Nothing but a fetish bait self insert for the weirdo that wrote him. HIs backstory is he was a drow sex slave and he liked it, every character has a reaction to the MC kissing him while they don't react to anybody else, every companion seems to want to have sex with him because he was written as some kind of sex god, he tries to but himself into your relationship with your romance choice and get himself into a threesome despite giving him no hints that you would ever want that. The game would be better off if this character had never become a companion.

I hate the way she was written personally, sounds like she was uplifted from the streets of london in 2023. Every second word she says is FUCK or SHIT. Mean while the other characters at least talk in a some what medieval fantasy type of dialect. Considering a conversation I had with her where she mentioned going to "secondary school" she doesn't seem all that educated. What even is D&D secondary school? I can't picture her sitting in a classroom taking exams. The character is clearly some sort of self-insert for a writer.
Lae'zel: you've quite the appetite, Halsin. I'd wager you've bedded more of your foes.than you've felled. Halsin: Hmm. A challenging sum...... The chimera has three heads. But does it still count as one? Lae'zel: Must have been a challenging kill. Halsin: Kill..... Yes....
@@rachelhughes8487 Had it been a wizard, I would agree. But a wood elf druid is in the lore always polygamous. Which is fine, it's jussta shame the made Halsin such a poor example of it, and focused on the sexuality asepct so much it has become a poor joke.
@@ShinarydkHorny druid AND dispenser of excessively wise relationship advice. It sucks all the naughtiness out of his horniness. I like him, but I wish he was less aggressively healthy.
As much as I like Astarion, I also like how the other characters (except Minthara lol) scold him and/or threaten him if he went through the ritual. Really shows how they care about Tav and how worried they are.

Half the men in underdark arw pleasure servants whose only redeeming quality is being beautiful you'd fit right in, Astarion. You- think I'm beautiful, oh Minthara.. hmmm I love them 2 30:18
My jaw has been HANGING OPEN nearly the ENTIRE TIME they're so ruthless with each other in the way only adventuring party members or siblings can be and I love it
2:04 - 2:22 LMAO what?! 😂 Lae'zel being unintentionally funny and Shadowheart holding her laughter was actually wholesome (considering these 2 are always at each other's throats). Too bad I haven't heard any of these banters in my game
@@bogdantanasescu3527 No, you have to skip the grove questline and go to Mountain Pass, leaving the grove to its fate. Minthara will be available at Moonrise Tower and you get to keep Karlach and Wyll. The tieflings will die, tho.
@@midwayxDit’s been a while, I imagine everyone knows this now, but there is a way to save the grove AND recruit Minthara, when you get to the goblin camp and attack her or destroy something nearby, make sure she has the temporarily hostile sign, then knock her out instead of killing her. When you get to Moonrise towers in Act 2, you will find her on trial for failing to find the artifact. Follow her into the prison cells, and there you have it, you now have Minthara as a companion during a good play through
Okay, hearing Karlach and Wyll talk to each other even when they're meant to be in a relationship with the player just makes me ship them together. Makes sense that Wyll joins Karlach of his own volition when he has the means to protect her.
Oh yeah Wyll and Karlach being romantically involved is why I don't think I'll romance either (and cause they both go to hell and I don't wanna go with)
My favourite banter was in act 1 with the Lovitar guy. I kept getting hit and Shadowheart said "Would you have liked her this much if you knew she was into this?" And Astarion is like, "Well, yes but I had my hopes!" Its a rare cutscene if you have them both in your party and they show up during that cutscene, its not always guaranteed but im glad its in my playthrough.
@@svoba4af I think he had crushes, or just felt something for some of his targets. The softness he showed Sebastian at the Mansion shows that there were others that, in a different life, could have been something to him. He literally says if he would have met Tav they would have been another one of his victims. He was forced to be intimate with them, of course, but Cazador did that not the targets. A fair share of them were likely innocents that made his heart break to destroy.
@@svoba4afI haven’t played far into the Astarion romance, but a lot of what he tells Tav isn’t for everyone’s ears. In this clip, it sounds like Gale knows Astarion used to get around, but he doesn’t know why, or how bad it was for Astarion.
@@bl2023there is a scene where he tells you about when he refused to bring a darling boy back to cazador, he got locked up in a tomb for a year. It's heavy.
@@svoba4af I guess that bedding people knowing that they will be torn away from you the morning after is quite heartbreaking in itself. I mean, you're literally forced to kill innocents for all eternity (or convinced you are in his case), you're forbidden to fall in love or experience *true* relationships because any person you approach is a prey. I can't imagine how many times Astarion must have fantasised of having *someone*, even a friend, to alleviate his pain down in Cazador's cells. And surely, he did fall for some of his victims too, like Sebastian's story suggests. After all, bedding someone is never merely the *act*. Psychology says there's always a deeper bond involved in something intimate like a sexual act, even when the participants don't know each other...and I'm sure, for someone as emotional as Astarion, this must have been unbearable. Being the smartass he is, Gale probably caught this aspect in Astarion.
Minthara: "They did not do it for love, they did it for my prowess in combat as well as coitus. I excel in both." Lae'zel: As do I, sometimes the acts are not dissimilar." Gotta admire the confidence of these ladies.
They're both dead in my playthrough. Wiped Minthara out like a random NPC. She never said a word when I was destroying the goblin camp. Took a rest after I finished that and Lae'zel decided it was a good idea to hold a knife to my characters throat after being a demeaning, racist, self important, combative, ahole up until that point. Didn't work out so well for her and that was pretty much the final bit of patience I had for her character. She's a stain on the camp grounds now and none of the companions even acknowledge her passing.

Was that your witty jab?" 13:06 - "Repeat after me: _Honey muffin, sweetie-pie, sugar plum~"_ 15:15 - Astarion flirting with Shadowheart 20:54 - "You think I'm... pretty?" 20:57 - NOT THE SQUIRREL IN THE BEAR SCENE SFDKJHDFSKJ 26:56 - Astarion no 😭 38:17 - Astarion flirting with Shadowheart again and getting brutally turned down LMAO
24:28 As a warlock outside of BG3, I lol'ed so hard Minthara: "You confound me, Wyll. You have all the illustrious iniquities of a warlock, and you choose to impress your partner with dancing." Wyll: "Well I'm hardly going to say, 'Oh come here, have a hug in the arms of Hadar.'"
13:20 This line is interesting because I think Halsin is talking directly to the player rather than Tav or Astarion. The whole "for your sake, I hope some of it is just a fantasy" makese more sense that way, the game is directly saying that you are in a abusive relationship, and it's ok if this is your fantasy but please please please don't seek this out in real life.
I love that take! Thank you for sharing it. I thought he was referring to his own consensual time with the drows in the underdark who just decided they liked him so much that they could keep him nonconsensually as a pet for years. Both do work, but yours is so much more meaningful!
Halsin, the wise! He was made a companion because of the thirst for him and is mostly, as a companion, a reflection of that thirst and the memes about him. It was brilliant that, to counter balance that, Larian also made him so healthy when it comes to consent and healthy relationships. So, in a way, yes, I agree, it's aimed at the player.
@@merileopardisaksassa7030I don't know, but I can't see it that way. I think he's talking about someone willingly devoting themselves completely to someone else, that they become a thrall, living just for the other person. A not uncommon fantasy about what a great passion is, but definitely not healthy if taken to those extremes. I also don't see his time with the drow being consensual, but the very definition of consented rape. He was a prisoner and fearing for his life, but didn't panic or despair, instead he went along because he knew the alternative was certainly worse. And being a horny boy and someone who seems to live in the moment, it's very possible he, at times, even forgot the reality of the situation and enjoyed it. He may not want to think of himself as a victim or, even more so that others do, but it was rape nevertheless.
Well I'd hope the people behind the game view players as smart enough *not* to use their fictional relationships with rpg vampire lords as models for real life relationships. I don't know anyone who's spending 70 bucks on a DND game to use as a guide to romance.

I romanced Gale but I never heard any of the banter. Is it just me or is it the game has significantly less banter after we entered Act 2 and esp. Act 3? Or maybe it's just my old PC which can't handle so many NPC and bantering at the same time☠
Out of these I heard just one with Gale/Astarion about night of debauchery in Act 3, but none of the others, even though I deliberately run around with different party compositions in places where some of the other banters triggered.
I heard just one banter in act 3 since entering (spoilers ahead), BUT, I started that playtrough again after the new patch and was bombarded not by one or two but FOUR different interactions in like, 20-25 minutes of gameplay. Don’t know If I got lucky or it was bugged before, but I would love if it continued like that
I got one between Shadowheart and Astarion recently. I romanced him (unascended) and he mentions being in his element when you walk down an alley, and Shadowheart says "now you consort with a different class of people, right?" And he tells her "Different class of person, and different type of consorting." I assume he's basically saying he's banging Tav 😂
I got this one in the same situation but another I haven't heard here (might have missed) where SH says like "do you have any sweethearts back in the city" and he's like "sweethearts? No. I prefer them SAVOURY" and she's like ugh nvm but those are the most I've really had 😮I wonder if it's that I'm playing multiplayer so it's more limited by the party size
Missing context. There is another wyll/astarion conversation missing here that is part of a larger ongoing conversation with Astarion and wyll. they have a sort of mini story arc where wyll keeps offending astarion throughout the game. Act 1- Astarion sleeps with Tav. Wyll warns them about him. Astarion gets upset. Act 2 -Astarion confesses his feelings to Tav and everyone now knows what hes been through and they feel kind of bad for him including gale who sort of apologizes for judging him (40:30). However there is a missing part to little story. In Act 2 Wyll says something similar, astarion is expecting a similar sentiment as what gale said but Wyll just insults him instead. it goes something like: Wyll: Im afraid i misjudged you, astarion. Astarion: and how is it that youve misjudged my fine character?" Wyll: I thought you were insufferably randy. Now i see you're just insufferable. Act 3: After killing cazador and not ascending the dialogue in 10:02 happens. Wyll says he misjudged him again but astarion snaps assuming that wyll. So this isnt random. he's reacting to the fact that Wyll has already said this before only to insult him. Dev notes say: "A little tired of wyll's bullshit". So in act 3 Wyll finally stops acting like a dick and says something nice about him. Its really cute i hope they patch this into the game at some point.
Even more sad that she can't be recruited into a good party. She very much seems like part of the family here. I wish she wasn't gated behind one of the most chaotic evil choices in the game.
@@xeagaortNot a bug. She can either be recruited by 1) Attacking the grove or 2) Ignoring the grove completely and moving on. Tieflings will die in both, but Wyll and Karlach won’t leave you if you just decide to not help the grove.
After not having any of my companions' banter trigger in Act 3 when my Tav romanced Wyll, super appreciative of this compilation so that I can hear it. Thanks for putting this together!
I really hope they overhaul that in Act 3. Not only is it majorly bugged even still after a few updates/patches, the interactivity with companions and their reactions is either not there or bugged.
“Don’t let your love struck mood distract you from the task ahead Karlach!” “But what if I really enjoy being distracted from the task ahead 🥹” she’s adorable even if I always take shadowheart
I really want a game where the party can interact with each other with the same depth as the main character. Fights, arguments, friendships and romance happening behind the scenes and the player can influence that.
I just want for Wyll and Karlach to be a canon ship so hard lol. I have a love hate relationship with Dragon Age (because EA won't let me access games i friggin paid for anymore 🙃) but i loved how in DAI your party members can go and date eachother once you're in an established relationship. It's mostly Iron Bull and Dorian but iirc even Josephine had something going on with Blackwall. Once you have a romance secured it'd be nice for your party members that are compatible to hint at something. Like Shadowheart and Lae'zel once their personal quests have advanced, especially in a scenario where they'd have rejected Shar for Shadowheart and Vlaakith for Lae'zel would make a lot of sense, or Wyll and Karlach, because it's Wyll and Karlach lol.
I already have 450 hours in and done 3 playthroughs romancing each time and i havent heard a single one of these lines in the game. I hope its either a bug that gets fixed, or larian adds them back in.
Curious how many people actually heard most of these whilst playing the game because I feel like as the acts go on, the interactivity between your party and Tav just plummets especially from Act 2 onward and majorly in Act 3. I've got like over 300 hours and haven't heard a lot of these or even most of them.
I only get them when I warp and because the screen is dark first, I can't read what they say. Though I have heard the reason for not getting the banter is due to camera distance in the settings? The closer the better supposedly.
There's mods for that. There's a poly mod and a increased party limit, so you can drag the whole polycule along. (I don't have any mods installed yet, cause I want my first playthrough to be without mods. So I don't know if you can have along all 10 companions +Tav with mods.)
So a couple of weeks ago I posted a pretty detailed critique of reactivity in the game on the larian forums and today I submitted a very detailed bug report on the triggers for banter and general reactivity. It seems that reactivity for me at least seems to be getting less and less with each patch. I spent today taking several hours to test triggers for Act 2 - including changing out party members, checking out fast travel triggers (the majority occurred at story pointed locals, to be as spoiler free as I can) and post combat banter. This is similar to DAI in that the dialogue is usually tied either to story beats, or combat triggers. Given this, triggers of this nature will bug out. In addition to this, the dialogue was not relevant to Act 2 - in fact, if I listen to the banter it appears to be related to Act 1. Which means the banter is sequential in nature - ie, if you do not intiate the swapping of companions early (like Act 1), that banter will be "held" until later Acts. Im so glad I experimented with this now, as Im now swapping companions more. Certain companions (I'll use astarion here) will also not trigger with say Wyll unless another party member is in that combination. For example I didnt get the shadowheart flower line, unless Laezel is also in the party. So triggers also do not trigger just with the 2 companions in the dialogue - you have to either have a full party or the relevant companion also there to trigger it. Its no wonder so many of these are breaking - it seems to be alot of requirements to be met to trigger these. I have been playing about 700 hours and 4 playthroughs and I can honestly say all but 10 of these banters are new to me.
This is just a wish list item but if any modders find this - please please be a hero and like DAI make a "More Party Banter Mod". If anyone is aware of this already please post the name of the modder or your mod! I will happily give you an endorsement on Nexus!
yeah the banter bugs are so annoying! I had to use that DA:I mod since my entire firsts playthrough was dead silent (I dont know what idiot set a 15 min timer on banter that RESETS!!! every time you fast travel, ride your horse, etc, but they need to be fired). I just saw your comment because im having the same issue in BG3. Im in Act 2 and playing youtube videos in the background cuz the dead silence im getting for such long periods is so tedious.
Considering the Female/Male dynamics in Lolth Drow culture, Mintharas attitude of superiority, wanting to dominate her partner, and emotionless self-control is oddly enough, lore accurate.
She is not emotionless, but Underdark drow culture requires self-restraint and watchfulness to ensure survival and success. This part goes for both sexes.
Omg this is amazing. Astarion basically jumped my bones the minute he possibly was able to do so. So I missed like all of this dialogue. Its nice to see bos different it all can be. :)
Minthara: "So there's this thing called 'bondage' you can try with your partner."
Lae'zel: "...I'm listening."

Wyll and Karlach are so wholesome
when Karlach called Wyll her new best friend even my icy cold heart melted a bit THAT WAS SO CUTE
They're the best and Larian is a genius to put the best characters against one another against their will.

Every Halsin interaction is literally "u guys looking for a third? Please say yes"
Since he's a druid, he is closer to his desires and instincts than most people. And since elves live for 800 years more or less and he's just 350 years old, he must find some way to keep himself entertained😂

I love how Shadowheart starts stuttering and stumbling over her words whenever someone talks to her about her partner.
Her cuteness level... is over 9000!
"B...baka!!"
Karlach is so caring about others.. How can you not love her :O
and Minthara is straight as a rail
@@romankuzmich6395pretty sure she'd shack anything with a pulse. If she was bored enough.
I hate the way she was written personally, sounds like she was uplifted from the streets of london in 2023. Every second word she says is FUCK or SHIT. Mean while the other characters at least talk in a some what medieval fantasy type of dialect. Considering a conversation I had with her where she mentioned going to "secondary school" she doesn't seem all that educated. What even is D&D secondary school? I can't picture her sitting in a classroom taking exams. The character is clearly some sort of self-insert for a writer.
Mama K❤
Eh I lobbed her head off, got Wyll a sweet reward
17:11 i've never recruited Minthara in my playthroughs but the way she absolutely demolishes Astarion in this interaction made me spit my drinj
She ate him up fr 😭
Lae'zel: you've quite the appetite, Halsin. I'd wager you've bedded more of your foes.than you've felled.
Halsin: Hmm. A challenging sum...... The chimera has three heads. But does it still count as one?
Lae'zel: Must have been a challenging kill.
Halsin: Kill..... Yes....
Funny banter, but it sucks that they made his main character trait horny druid
@@Shinarydk I honestly like that they didn't follow the stereotype of wise stoic elf druid.
@@rachelhughes8487 Had it been a wizard, I would agree. But a wood elf druid is in the lore always polygamous. Which is fine, it's jussta shame the made Halsin such a poor example of it, and focused on the sexuality asepct so much it has become a poor joke.

Depending on how your sound setup is, having the camera away from the party can drown out the banter with other sounds.

@@Tama_51 Thank you, l’ll try it out, I could stand to hear Astarion more in my ears
As much as I like Astarion, I also like how the other characters (except Minthara lol) scold him and/or threaten him if he went through the ritual. Really shows how they care about Tav and how worried they are.
No, they are either clearly good aligned, or good leaning, or simply don't understand the blessings of full vampirism very well.

2:04 - 2:22 LMAO what?! 😂
Lae'zel being unintentionally funny and Shadowheart holding her laughter was actually wholesome (considering these 2 are always at each other's throats). Too bad I haven't heard any of these banters in my game
Some of these lines make no sense to me. Like the ones between Mynthara and Wyll or Karlach. Can we still recruit them if we destroi the grove?
@@bogdantanasescu3527 No, you have to skip the grove questline and go to Mountain Pass, leaving the grove to its fate. Minthara will be available at Moonrise Tower and you get to keep Karlach and Wyll. The tieflings will die, tho.
@@midwayxDit’s been a while, I imagine everyone knows this now, but there is a way to save the grove AND recruit Minthara, when you get to the goblin camp and attack her or destroy something nearby, make sure she has the temporarily hostile sign, then knock her out instead of killing her. When you get to Moonrise towers in Act 2, you will find her on trial for failing to find the artifact. Follow her into the prison cells, and there you have it, you now have Minthara as a companion during a good play through
Okay, hearing Karlach and Wyll talk to each other even when they're meant to be in a relationship with the player just makes me ship them together. Makes sense that Wyll joins Karlach of his own volition when he has the means to protect her.
Considering the circumstance of their meeting it's actually really sweet how they're both really good people trying to do each other right
I thought that too, though they do seem to refer to each other as best friends more than anything
Oh yeah Wyll and Karlach being romantically involved is why I don't think I'll romance either (and cause they both go to hell and I don't wanna go with)
Origin playthroughs with either are best with the other romanced
13:10 Astarion making Laezel say cute words i cant 😭
DO YOU THINK OF ALL YOUR LOVERS AS FOOD ASTARION?! I ugly laughed that banter was so good
Asterion: Wyll I heard you were getting married. I had thought you learned your lesson on forming devious contracts!
Halsin at any moment: "I am always ready to bed any of you, with a group or otherwise"
My favourite banter was in act 1 with the Lovitar guy. I kept getting hit and Shadowheart said "Would you have liked her this much if you knew she was into this?" And Astarion is like, "Well, yes but I had my hopes!" Its a rare cutscene if you have them both in your party and they show up during that cutscene, its not always guaranteed but im glad its in my playthrough.
They have a similar interaction if you kiss Crushers foot To steal his ring 😂
@@chrussublah4264I refuse to kiss the goblin foot. I prefer Intimidation to make the goblin do the foot kissing.
The consort is going to have a lot of fun god damn
Halsin and Minsc talking about the squirrel he and Tav traumatized is the best thing of all

40:36 - Gale: Must suck, getting your heart broken so many times
Astarion:......THANK YOU.... GALE.
If only I could understand what the hell Gale means :D Astarion certainly did not love anybody during his slavery.
@@svoba4af I think he had crushes, or just felt something for some of his targets. The softness he showed Sebastian at the Mansion shows that there were others that, in a different life, could have been something to him. He literally says if he would have met Tav they would have been another one of his victims. He was forced to be intimate with them, of course, but Cazador did that not the targets. A fair share of them were likely innocents that made his heart break to destroy.
@@svoba4afI haven’t played far into the Astarion romance, but a lot of what he tells Tav isn’t for everyone’s ears. In this clip, it sounds like Gale knows Astarion used to get around, but he doesn’t know why, or how bad it was for Astarion.
@@bl2023there is a scene where he tells you about when he refused to bring a darling boy back to cazador, he got locked up in a tomb for a year. It's heavy.
@@svoba4af I guess that bedding people knowing that they will be torn away from you the morning after is quite heartbreaking in itself. I mean, you're literally forced to kill innocents for all eternity (or convinced you are in his case), you're forbidden to fall in love or experience *true* relationships because any person you approach is a prey. I can't imagine how many times Astarion must have fantasised of having *someone*, even a friend, to alleviate his pain down in Cazador's cells. And surely, he did fall for some of his victims too, like Sebastian's story suggests. After all, bedding someone is never merely the *act*. Psychology says there's always a deeper bond involved in something intimate like a sexual act, even when the participants don't know each other...and I'm sure, for someone as emotional as Astarion, this must have been unbearable. Being the smartass he is, Gale probably caught this aspect in Astarion.
Minthara: "They did not do it for love, they did it for my prowess in combat as well as coitus. I excel in both."
Lae'zel: As do I, sometimes the acts are not dissimilar."
Gotta admire the confidence of these ladies.
makes me wonder… hm, no, I shan’t say
They're both dead in my playthrough.
Wiped Minthara out like a random NPC. She never said a word when I was destroying the goblin camp.
Took a rest after I finished that and Lae'zel decided it was a good idea to hold a knife to my characters throat after being a demeaning, racist, self important, combative, ahole up until that point.
Didn't work out so well for her and that was pretty much the final bit of patience I had for her character.
She's a stain on the camp grounds now and none of the companions even acknowledge her passing.

40:18 so funny 🤣 Wylls disappointed "oh", then his interested "oh?" Brilliant
Laezel and Minthara going craazy out here.
I haven't heard a single one of them in the game...
13:20 This line is interesting because I think Halsin is talking directly to the player rather than Tav or Astarion. The whole "for your sake, I hope some of it is just a fantasy" makese more sense that way, the game is directly saying that you are in a abusive relationship, and it's ok if this is your fantasy but please please please don't seek this out in real life.
I love that take! Thank you for sharing it.
I thought he was referring to his own consensual time with the drows in the underdark who just decided they liked him so much that they could keep him nonconsensually as a pet for years. Both do work, but yours is so much more meaningful!
@@merileopardisaksassa7030 His time with the Drow was most certainly not consensual
Halsin, the wise! He was made a companion because of the thirst for him and is mostly, as a companion, a reflection of that thirst and the memes about him. It was brilliant that, to counter balance that, Larian also made him so healthy when it comes to consent and healthy relationships. So, in a way, yes, I agree, it's aimed at the player.
@@merileopardisaksassa7030I don't know, but I can't see it that way. I think he's talking about someone willingly devoting themselves completely to someone else, that they become a thrall, living just for the other person. A not uncommon fantasy about what a great passion is, but definitely not healthy if taken to those extremes.
I also don't see his time with the drow being consensual, but the very definition of consented rape. He was a prisoner and fearing for his life, but didn't panic or despair, instead he went along because he knew the alternative was certainly worse. And being a horny boy and someone who seems to live in the moment, it's very possible he, at times, even forgot the reality of the situation and enjoyed it. He may not want to think of himself as a victim or, even more so that others do, but it was rape nevertheless.
Well I'd hope the people behind the game view players as smart enough *not* to use their fictional relationships with rpg vampire lords as models for real life relationships. I don't know anyone who's spending 70 bucks on a DND game to use as a guide to romance.
DANA WHAT THE HELL, I W AS LITERALLY JUST LOOKING FOR PARTY BANTER VIDEOS TODAY, I LOVE YOU

No WE haven't, she rolled better initiative than my poor bard and proceeded to beat the ever loving shit out of me in one turn
This happened to me! 😭 I had 1hp too, and was long resting to heal. My bard got completely one shotted.
Karlach and Wyll are the best friends who belong together
30:16 This. This right here is a perfect example of why Astarion is a fan favorite personality.
I romanced Gale but I never heard any of the banter. Is it just me or is it the game has significantly less banter after we entered Act 2 and esp. Act 3? Or maybe it's just my old PC which can't handle so many NPC and bantering at the same time☠
Me too, i never heard it
Out of these I heard just one with Gale/Astarion about night of debauchery in Act 3, but none of the others, even though I deliberately run around with different party compositions in places where some of the other banters triggered.
If your camera isnt right on top of the party you wont hear the banter, it can be extremely easy to miss
@@magatmilan8925 thanks will look in to it on another PT
I heard just one banter in act 3 since entering (spoilers ahead), BUT, I started that playtrough again after the new patch and was bombarded not by one or two but FOUR different interactions in like, 20-25 minutes of gameplay.
Don’t know If I got lucky or it was bugged before, but I would love if it continued like that
14:24 For an infernal girl, Karlach got burned bad by someone who cant even stand the heat of the sun.
"You didn't consider it beneath you?"

I mean......
*End of act 3 spoiler*
They technically do, as they spend their lives in Avernus together
Lol they must have cut that part because wyll will claim that Karlacth is his love in end
I may, or may not, always kill karlach so Wyll don’t have to be a devil.
I got one between Shadowheart and Astarion recently. I romanced him (unascended) and he mentions being in his element when you walk down an alley, and Shadowheart says "now you consort with a different class of people, right?" And he tells her "Different class of person, and different type of consorting."
I assume he's basically saying he's banging Tav 😂
I got this one in the same situation but another I haven't heard here (might have missed) where SH says like "do you have any sweethearts back in the city" and he's like "sweethearts? No. I prefer them SAVOURY" and she's like ugh nvm but those are the most I've really had 😮I wonder if it's that I'm playing multiplayer so it's more limited by the party size
"Are you buoyant?" SH is being lowkey savage to the Druid. 😂
I think the main reason I like Astarion is because he's so bratty and his roasting is gold. And Gale's boisterous, dry wit is always hilarious 😆
DANA DUCHY, YOU QUITE LITERALLY NEVER FUCKING FAIL ME.
Missing context. There is another wyll/astarion conversation missing here that is part of a larger ongoing conversation with Astarion and wyll. they have a sort of mini story arc where wyll keeps offending astarion throughout the game.
Act 1- Astarion sleeps with Tav. Wyll warns them about him. Astarion gets upset.
Act 2 -Astarion confesses his feelings to Tav and everyone now knows what hes been through and they feel kind of bad for him including gale who sort of apologizes for judging him (40:30). However there is a missing part to little story. In Act 2 Wyll says something similar, astarion is expecting a similar sentiment as what gale said but Wyll just insults him instead. it goes something like:
Wyll: Im afraid i misjudged you, astarion.
Astarion: and how is it that youve misjudged my fine character?"
Wyll: I thought you were insufferably randy. Now i see you're just insufferable.
Act 3: After killing cazador and not ascending the dialogue in 10:02 happens. Wyll says he misjudged him again but astarion snaps assuming that wyll. So this isnt random. he's reacting to the fact that Wyll has already said this before only to insult him. Dev notes say: "A little tired of wyll's bullshit". So in act 3 Wyll finally stops acting like a dick and says something nice about him. Its really cute i hope they patch this into the game at some point.
Karlach and Wyll's banter is just so wholesome, glad to see how well their dynamic is after their hostile beginnings.
Sad that Minthara is bugged. This reactions are so interesting for her
Even more sad that she can't be recruited into a good party. She very much seems like part of the family here. I wish she wasn't gated behind one of the most chaotic evil choices in the game.
@@Veloziraptor111You can recruit her if you ignore the grove quest too
@@ktkr5273 That is a bug and very much not intentional.
@@xeagaort wdym it's a bug???
@@xeagaortNot a bug. She can either be recruited by 1) Attacking the grove or 2) Ignoring the grove completely and moving on. Tieflings will die in both, but Wyll and Karlach won’t leave you if you just decide to not help the grove.
35:21 Halsin never fails to go that one half-step beyond.
WTF
After not having any of my companions' banter trigger in Act 3 when my Tav romanced Wyll, super appreciative of this compilation so that I can hear it. Thanks for putting this together!
I really hope they overhaul that in Act 3. Not only is it majorly bugged even still after a few updates/patches, the interactivity with companions and their reactions is either not there or bugged.
Your DA:I banter video is a comfort to listen to, and this is no different. Thank you 🥹❤️
I agree!
“Don’t let your love struck mood distract you from the task ahead Karlach!” “But what if I really enjoy being distracted from the task ahead 🥹” she’s adorable even if I always take shadowheart

Wait, the one about her having lycanthrope children, that's a reference to her father, isn't it?
@@kalicula7718Yep thats right, her relationship lines during her Selune route are so good I wish there were more.
I feel like Astarion was a bit intimidated by Lae’zel when she asked why he hadn’t made a pass at her yet lolol.
30:33 Minthara getting annoyed and growling at Astarion has me dying 🤣
He won that round, which is impressive
I really want a game where the party can interact with each other with the same depth as the main character.
Fights, arguments, friendships and romance happening behind the scenes and the player can influence that.
Cant influence too much but Red Dead Redemption 2. The camp always has moments going on
fire emblem does this well and there's like.. 40 characters. the games are pretty animu though and a lil rough around the edges
@@carminacastillo8456 I heard about it, but I can't stand eastern storytelling. Too much drama for stupid things.
I just want for Wyll and Karlach to be a canon ship so hard lol.
I have a love hate relationship with Dragon Age (because EA won't let me access games i friggin paid for anymore 🙃) but i loved how in DAI your party members can go and date eachother once you're in an established relationship. It's mostly Iron Bull and Dorian but iirc even Josephine had something going on with Blackwall.
Once you have a romance secured it'd be nice for your party members that are compatible to hint at something. Like Shadowheart and Lae'zel once their personal quests have advanced, especially in a scenario where they'd have rejected Shar for Shadowheart and Vlaakith for Lae'zel would make a lot of sense, or Wyll and Karlach, because it's Wyll and Karlach lol.
@@LilUFO9499 Wyll and Karlach romance is canon and I don't care what the world has to say about it.
I already have 450 hours in and done 3 playthroughs romancing each time and i havent heard a single one of these lines in the game. I hope its either a bug that gets fixed, or larian adds them back in.
Damn, you are on top of this! I can’t wait for the other dialogues
Curious how many people actually heard most of these whilst playing the game because I feel like as the acts go on, the interactivity between your party and Tav just plummets especially from Act 2 onward and majorly in Act 3. I've got like over 300 hours and haven't heard a lot of these or even most of them.
I only get them when I warp and because the screen is dark first, I can't read what they say. Though I have heard the reason for not getting the banter is due to camera distance in the settings? The closer the better supposedly.
DANA DUCHY BACK AT IT AGAIN THANK YOUUUU
Minthara growling in anger is so cute.
I love them all. Why, oh why, can’t we all simply form the largest and most powerful polycule the realm has ever seen?
There's mods for that. There's a poly mod and a increased party limit, so you can drag the whole polycule along.
(I don't have any mods installed yet, cause I want my first playthrough to be without mods. So I don't know if you can have along all 10 companions +Tav with mods.)
interactions between shadowheart and karlach are the cutest!!!!!!

I'm more partial to 35:00, wish there was more breakup dialogue banter in this game. Just hits hard and makes me feel immersed
So a couple of weeks ago I posted a pretty detailed critique of reactivity in the game on the larian forums and today I submitted a very detailed bug report on the triggers for banter and general reactivity. It seems that reactivity for me at least seems to be getting less and less with each patch. I spent today taking several hours to test triggers for Act 2 - including changing out party members, checking out fast travel triggers (the majority occurred at story pointed locals, to be as spoiler free as I can) and post combat banter.
This is similar to DAI in that the dialogue is usually tied either to story beats, or combat triggers. Given this, triggers of this nature will bug out. In addition to this, the dialogue was not relevant to Act 2 - in fact, if I listen to the banter it appears to be related to Act 1. Which means the banter is sequential in nature - ie, if you do not intiate the swapping of companions early (like Act 1), that banter will be "held" until later Acts.
Im so glad I experimented with this now, as Im now swapping companions more. Certain companions (I'll use astarion here) will also not trigger with say Wyll unless another party member is in that combination. For example I didnt get the shadowheart flower line, unless Laezel is also in the party. So triggers also do not trigger just with the 2 companions in the dialogue - you have to either have a full party or the relevant companion also there to trigger it.
Its no wonder so many of these are breaking - it seems to be alot of requirements to be met to trigger these. I have been playing about 700 hours and 4 playthroughs and I can honestly say all but 10 of these banters are new to me.
This is just a wish list item but if any modders find this - please please be a hero and like DAI make a "More Party Banter Mod". If anyone is aware of this already please post the name of the modder or your mod! I will happily give you an endorsement on Nexus!
yeah the banter bugs are so annoying! I had to use that DA:I mod since my entire firsts playthrough was dead silent (I dont know what idiot set a 15 min timer on banter that RESETS!!! every time you fast travel, ride your horse, etc, but they need to be fired). I just saw your comment because im having the same issue in BG3. Im in Act 2 and playing youtube videos in the background cuz the dead silence im getting for such long periods is so tedious.
Dude what??? Ive played two fully explored runs of this game and have yet to trigger any of this banter. What the hell?
Ok, I definitely need to properly romance Wyll on my next playthrough, he's so sweet.
this is so crazy... i remember coming to your account just for the dragon age inquisition party banters way back when and now you made this one...
After 200 hours I don't think I've heard a single one of these in game 😔 Which is only sad because they're SO GOOD

Considering the Female/Male dynamics in Lolth Drow culture, Mintharas attitude of superiority, wanting to dominate her partner, and emotionless self-control is oddly enough, lore accurate.
She is not emotionless, but Underdark drow culture requires self-restraint and watchfulness to ensure survival and success. This part goes for both sexes.
That’s why I always use female characters to romance minthara😂
Submissive men look so stupid
bold of you to assume i’m a guy romancing her
Four full playthroughs and I've never triggered any of this dialogue. Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!
28:25 she said it SHE SAID IT, shes also quite hilarious among her kind a comedian 😂😏
You're so real for this
Karlach is a fucking cinnamen roll and must be protected at all times.
every time halsin came up it was just him tryna slip his way into the relationship LOL get it my guy
dude is too old for subtly, oak father bless him. He shoots his shot and moves on as nature intended.
Omg this is amazing. Astarion basically jumped my bones the minute he possibly was able to do so. So I missed like all of this dialogue. Its nice to see bos different it all can be. :)
