    Since many are asking, the hair mod I use; it's called Vessnelle's Hair Collection pack, it's available on Nexus.
    I added daphne's theme as background music like I did in my playlist for this segment because it sounds fitting, I think.
    astarion pov romance playlist : ruclips.net/video/VllC3OqS12g/видео.htmlsi=RJcC3cZ9FjIOhHkP
    NOTE: I don't mean any disrespect to Borislav Slavov who made the music for the game, I absolutely love the in-game music but for some reason, this scene has the ambient shadowlands music despite it being a romance scene. I don't know if it's a glitch that happens for me or if that's how it's meant to be, it takes me out of the immersion but that's just a preference. Anyway, enjoy!

    as if he couldn't figure out what she is doing: "It's not a kiss, it's not sexual, it's not a atack...what is it?!"

    When I first saw the fandom going crazy over this character, I thought he was just another stereotypical hot bad boy vampire. But dang, was I wrong. He's such a layered character who gets to go in a number of interesting directions depending on your choices.
    I've been kind of obsessed with this scene though. The way he shows such vulnerability and honesty, opening himself up to being hurt despite clearly being unfamiliar with genuine love and affection, and yet wanting to try... Imo it's such a beautiful moment, and somewhat heartbreaking, too.

      I got both these scenes recently. The one after Moonrise Towers isn't as sweet, it's like Astarion coming more to terms with his freedom and trauma. He seems slightly more stand-offish still and maybe snarkier. If you trigger this scene before meeting the Drow it seems more sincere and emotional.

I agree it doesn't feel as romantic, but for my DU playthrough it worked. The hug and cute stuff didn't feel right in that version, but after replaying that scene a few times you can hear him say close to the same stuff. Just more snarky lol.

    SPOILERS FYI
    Okay I didnt really get this confession. What i got was after the drow lady in moonrise towers when that lady asked Astarion to bute her and i told her to back off. He essentially said thank you to me and mentioned how he is used to people manipulating eachother. There was an option that said "is that why you slept with me to use me" he responds with yes but mentions it doesnt feel like im using you anymore and essential says the "i want this to be something real" quote. Just wondering if anyone else has got this.

    • @bigppisha
      @bigppisha  Год назад

      Yeah, that's a confession that happens after you meet the drow (if this confession hasn't happened for you yet) This happened for me the night after Raphael tells him about the meaning of his scars. I hadn't gone to moonrise yet, but I did part of his questline and the next night, this happened.

    Mixing Astarion's confession and Syanna's soundtrack is... unusual, feels weird. They were expressing completely different feelings.

    • @bigppisha
      @bigppisha  Год назад +7

      Thing is, I don't associate that theme with Syanna, (SPOILERS) the first time I ever heard it was in "A Knight's Tale" quest in Blood and Wine (I think that's what it was called at least) and I've always called it Daphne's theme, since I initially thought that was the name of the song. The quest revolves around a woman who lost the man she loved and her ghost can't be put to rest until of course Geralt comes along and sets things right. The theme plays at the ending of her quest when she gives her monologue and finally rests. It's a beautiful moment and that's why I used the song here as well as in my playlist. It sounds tragic to me and expresses a sense of longing, a woman like Syanna doesn't deserve such a beautiful theme.

But i still dont know what it is or where its origianally from, can someone pls tell me???????

      It is also called "sad crypt music" I think. I'm not sure but yes, it's also called Syanna's theme for some reason even though her theme is different on the soundtrack. Perhaps because it's a re-iteration of that one? Dunno. It's also called Daphne's theme because it first plays in the ending of the quest, "A Knight's Tale."

      I got this the night after doing his quest, I hadn't met Araj at moonrise yet so mine was different.

    Why do you specify that it's after the 3rd patch? It was so different before? (Curiosity, i didn't see before)

      I have added the reason in the description. His and Tav's expressions are very different along with the animations and movements are a lot more fluid, they've changed the camera angles too.

    When did they update this?

    • @bigppisha
      @bigppisha  Год назад +2

      During the patch that came out recently, I can't remember the exact date, it think it was early October or late September? They changed around their facial expressions, Astarion now looks more sad and anxious than he did at launch and the movements are more fluid as well.

    How to get exactly this scene?

    • @bigppisha
      @bigppisha  Год назад

      Don't talk to Araj yet at moonrise, do astarion's quest in the gauntlet first, this scene will happen one night after Raphael tells astarion what his scars mean.
      Basically, if you meet Araj anytime before the confession happens, you won't get this scene but the thank you one.

    I love that they put the option to hug him, instead of kiss. Hugs are a form of intimacy that just shows some one you care for them on a deeper level. Whenever the topic of intimacy comes up, a lot of people immediately think sex, or kissing, but to recognize the intimacy in a hug and how it brings a person a sense of security will make you prefer that.
    Think about it- to truly hug someone, and embrace it means that you feel safe enough in their arms. Astarion hesitating , and then finally circling his arms around Tav shows us that he feels safe with us (even if he is the big spoon 🥹)
