Him as Gortash? Him smiling on the throne? I just SCREAMED! You time your vids so perfectly with the music, every second is so expressive, so emotional. This is AMAZING! Thank you!
Astarion is truly the most human of the origin characters. Forever adaptable and changing. For being an Elf he is never stagnate or set in his ways. Regardless of his past, when we meet him in his present, he is fearful but not cowed. He falls on old habits but he is not against changing those habits when it happens. Though I personally always allow Astarion to ascend, it's the only way I personally would be able to over come such a trauma even if it perpetuates the cycle. Just the fact that he has the opportunity for a non ascension shows how human of a character morally and emotionally he is...does that make sense?
I just thought while watching this.... Astarion ascending is WORTH making Cazador feel the same thing he did when he carved Astarion's back. No wonder spawn Astarion felt so numb after Cazador's death... the bastard didn't suffer nearly as much as he should have.
Now this Patch 7 and the footage of "Ascended Absolute Astarion" in a _literal_ "crown of light", I fee lthis video should get a remake that is a few scenes longer.
THIS is what Astarion should have! All this right here! 🤩 Ahhh another amazing masterpiece! I swear it feels like I'm watching a trailer every time I see one of your videos they are that well done! ❤ The way you got his voice to match up at the end was just PERFECT! 😍 Thank you so much for giving Astarion what he truly deserves, being the all powerful Vampire Ascendant! Astarion Forever! 🥳
Thank you so much for watching!! I appreciate your kind words so much 😄 the last scene where he says “in my name” is actually from the game when you play as him :D
It's all his darker attributes turned all the way up, but damn it is good I really need to get to my evil playthrough so I can experiance Ascended Astarion for myself instead of just through youtube.
Um, hi hello, yes. Could you please stop making me simp for Evil Astarion? He has no business being so damn sexy when he's evil..... I'm going to rewatch this again. And if you ever make more Evil Astarion/Dark Urge videos.....🥵
@@darkurgediaries Can you please tell me where the footage of him sitting on the throne with a flame on his hand comes from? I've already played through the game a couple of times and watched a lot of videos, but I've never seen such a scene (with any of the characters).
@@little-noize it’s part of lae’zel’s evil epilogue where she ascends to Vlaakith, normally it’s Vlaakith sitting on the throne but I reprogrammed it to be Astarion 🙏🏻
Hey, I really love the editing and stuff you do in these videos. The only thing is -- and you can take or leave this suggestion, obviously -- I would love to see what you do with songs that are thematic as hell but also a lot more timeless... and therefore (in my opinion) aesthetically appropriate. Here are some songs that would go incredibly well with the kind of videos you produce: 1. "Save Me" by the Jesus and Mary Chain 2. "Some Velvet Morning" by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood 3. "Henry Lee" by Nick Cave & PJ Harvey ("Lovely Creature" by Nick Cave could work really well thematically too imo) 4. "I Want You Back Again" by The Zombies 5. "In a Manner of Speaking" or "No Tears" by Tuxedomoon 6. "I Wanna Be Adored" by the Stone Roses 7. "Mad World" by Tears for Fears 8. "Satori Pt. I" by Flower Travellin' Band 9. "Highway Kind" by Townes Van Zandt 10. "Vitamin C" by Can 11. "I Wanna Destroy You" by The Soft Boys 12. "I Hate You" by The Monks 13. "Don't Go Away" by Margo Guryan 14. "My Little Red Book" by Love 15. "Paris 1919" by John Cale or "Venus in Furs" by the Velvet Underground 16. "Little Time Bomb" or "Love Has No Pride" by Billy Bragg 17. "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones (just too obvious to leave off the list ;) I would so love to see what you could do with those, tbh. Thanks for making these cool, sexy BG3 vids.
Omg, this song is awesome! Love the video! I hope Astarion has many more adventures! They need to continue the story.. I wanna go around Faerun as a bat! :P take over Cazador's Palace, .. enslave Baldur's Gate. Lol. All the stuff he said he wanted to do! :P
@@darkurgediaries so many people wanna sit on his lap naked as he rules.. they really do need to add this stuff. Lol.. or at least a way to have adult content in this game. He has so many hot scenes that could benefit from it.. lol. And... Now you have me looking this band up. Lol
Who sings this version of this song? I love it, but I'm struggling to find it ;-; Edit: I scrolled down far enough to find you answer this already! It's Emil Bulls :)
I'm ... I'm speechless, literally choking and in the same time can't breathe. Also my head just explode along with my chest to this true masterpiece. Amazing work! This convienced me to play an evil/ascended path when playing Astarion origin later, because this was awesome! Also the music ... hell yeah I love metal/rock music 🔥🤘
@@darkurgediaries Any time, great work! 👍 If in the game Astarion was the evil archduke instead of Gortash I would totally obey him. I wouldn't even resist or try to fight him 😂
ABSOLUTE PERFECTION MY SWEET SISTER! Thank you for doing this! I was hoping someone would use this song & do as you have masterfully completed here!!!

@@amistiel what a lovely video debut! You gave your durge so much personality and style, it was a joy to watch! I liked your song choice too, very epic. I feel like our durge’s would get along ☺️I am currently using capcut pc to edit, before that I was using clipchamp but capcut has more editing options. For recording i switch between the basic gamebar software or OBS for higher quality! A few pointers you may find useful for future edits- if you want to capture a character talking without background music you can actually turn off everything except for voices in the audio settings, and also if you don’t want any subtitles or menu items on screen when recording, press f10 to clear everything for recording! 🤍
@@darkurgediaries whaaa, thank you!! Yes I used clipchamp too, but felt it's lacking in audio tools, thank you so much for pointers!!! Will certainly try again with act 2 turning sound to just voices and removing all staff from crowding my screen 🫰🤩
@@princessqueen6661 it’s a lot to go over but there is good advice on the net for it, i just figured it out through a combo of google and trial and error haha!

@@darkurgediaries your work is awesome I admire it every time!! btw I was wondering if you could give a little advice about this? I know that tutorials are very time consuming, so I'm willing to learn this on my own. In general I know a little about coding, I just need to know what files to work with and do I need a specific program to do it?
@@eilsxx hey! I'm terrible at giving instructions bc everything I do is from trial and error, but you want to start by familiarizing yourself with modders multitool for bg3 and there are a lot of reddits and wiki articles floating around to help with that 🙏🏻 as for editing character code those are stored in merge files and be very very careful editing these because your game can easily break!

Makes sense to me! I’m also a fan of ascension, although I truly enjoyed both paths.
god and you know just the right scenes to use. The Ketheric punch is probably my favorite. God, that suited Evil Astarion's ass so well.
Vlaakith's throne and animation is so eerily fitting!
Right?? I had to use it! 😄
2:26 again, I'm out here yearning FOR Neil.
Evil Astarion is terrifying, I love him
This video gave me chills... and when I though I could not love Astarion more you drop a gem like this
I am honored, thank you so much!🤍🤍
I just thought while watching this.... Astarion ascending is WORTH making Cazador feel the same thing he did when he carved Astarion's back. No wonder spawn Astarion felt so numb after Cazador's death... the bastard didn't suffer nearly as much as he should have.

This is hands down one of the best Ascended Astarion edits ever.

You have to encounter the gur before finding out astarion is a vampire :)
