Someone said Astarion likes it when you're nice to the owlbear cub because its like a reflection of him. Something most people want dead because they're scared of it but you take it in and love it despite it being seen as a monster. And that made a lot of sense
"Okay Astarion, you're not allowed to drink blood from any people. Just animals. And no cute animals either, just rats and gross rodents like that." "I'm going to stab you."
I love the voice for the cub tbh. Sounds like a little boy trying to make his voice sound deeper and more intimidating rather than going to the default of high-pitched and cutesy. I find the cub more endearing with this voice!
I love that you gain approval from EVERYONE for helping the owlbear cub... light yeah the party is full of broken people borderline monster but not that monstrous XD the game developer understood
As a sadistic monster myself that is into the most depraved and taboo I can confirm this. This is not a joke. I mean what I say. Wouldn't be a point in being hostile to a skittish creature. Even the goblins give it a use instead of eating it.
In my Astarion origin playthrough, as I've learned from his remark about it, it's less about emergency food and more about owning a dangerous animal, apparently, lol.
My first Durg playthrough saw me killing everyone that stood against me or seemed like they'd die funny but when it came to the owlbear and scratch, I defended them with my life and gave them the good scritches every time I went to camp
Fun fact: So I learned this one day after I accidentally hit scratch with his ball when I was throwing it. But if you hit scratch on accident *everyone* in game goes to fight you.
@@VinceValentine only cute animals, surely you've rarely seen anyone complain about having to kill X hostile animals for a fetch quest in for instance World of Warcraft or the like.
@@Alistair.Althea The voice actors played in a one-shot tabletop game as their characters and when monsters attack the camp Scratch helped fight and all 6 actors were going "save the dog, don't let Scratch get hurt"
Yup I got Ritual Caster just to be able to cast Speak with Animals (and Find Familiar) without spending a spell slot, and it's the first thing I do every morning. So happy it lasts the whole day in BG3 - in D&D it just lasts an hour iirc.
When this scene happend to me I was so happy because the owlbear cub is the cutest thing in the world and I was trying really hard to get him to come to my camp....then Astarion popped out of nowhere and scared him off. I got so angry at him.
That’s why I always shove a stake through his heart first chance I get and get the rogue hireling. No amount of good voice acting makes his character concept okay.
@@jonathanwells223What do you mean? If you get further into his story, you realize that all his evilness is just for show and self-defense. He's actually very sweet and kind once you break past the Cazador bullshit
@jonathanwells223 yall are always frothing at the mouth for the slightest opportunity to talk about how you hate him and killed him, he's got you so bothered for no reason, its so embarrassing 💀💀💀
@@jonathanwells223 It's literally anyone you are romancing or have the highest rating with who scares the owlbear, not just Astarion, and are you mentally okay? The amount of hate you are showing over a fiction character is worrying, especially a character that is actually okay when you get to know him and learn his story. Part of his character concept is about how abuse and trauma can affect how a person acts and how people can overcome it and become a better person with the right support. Like I understand not liking a character, a character I dislike the most is Edelgard from the fire emblem series but I am not going on every video about Edelgard (I usually don't watch videos about her at all) and comment about how much I dislike her. I mean it's like people like you are just trying to be "cool" and "different", like hating a fictional character and hating on people who like him somehow makes you better, when in reality it makes you seem like a edgelord trying to stand out.
I see those negative/neutral options and they're just... _not_ options for me, either. Heck, I "chat" with owls irl, how could I possibly hurt or dismiss that little guy?!?!?!
0:52 FWIW the camera is just super buggy in the Underdark camp in general, has been as far back as I can remember in EA, I think because of all the different elevations in a small space? If it's not the camera clipping through the floor with OB or Scratch, it's Halsin looking ~8m tall because he's stood halfway up the hill and the camera does not know how to handle it.
0:49 to prevent Astarion from pouncing on the little baby i will comment this anytime and every time i come across the 1st owlbear scene in camp: ASTARION STOP SCARING HIM, YOU SEXY-AND-TEMPTING VAMPIRE!!! i had waited for too long for him to appear in camp!!! **smacks Astarion's head**
Astarion I swear to god, I will put a stake through your heart if you lay a finger on my precious owlbear. I only keep you around because you're good at picking locks.
I really hope I will get the owlbear. I met the cub with his mom and came back to the cave to see her dead (because I didn't want to kill her then adopt her puppy, it feels horrible so I let the Goblins kill her since she's going to die regardless and you can't avoid that) but I didn't know the cub was at the goblin camp until it was too late so I didn't interact with him and I don't know if I'll see him in my camp.
@@lbebexl3459 In our coop playthrough I thought we messed up because we already entered act 2 and the cub didn't show but then it did two long rests in a row so you might get lucky still.

I hate the fact that I rolled up on his mom and killed her by accident and .....welll I don't know if I failed to recruit him yet but....I think I have. And I definitely hate that.
Owlbear is the only reason i put the Goblin camp down. Because they kill his mom. And they're not nice to him 😢 i m so happy he came to me. He and Skratch was my best coice in this Game. 😅 ( I not sure about Astarion and my Tav 😂)
Yes, it does. The first time it appears in the camp, there is always a cutscene where one of the companions accidentally scares it away. So, no worries! :)
it sounds like an adult that blew up into a balloon to sound like a kid but then it just sounded even more uglier than normal all because it can't do anything but get even uglier by its sides without wings
I've done two playthroughs of this game and both times I left Asterion on the beach. My Lathander cleric doesn't truck with vampires, and my Fighter just plain didn't like the guy. I've missed every little last bit of content involving him.... but every time I see a clip, I remember that I'm okay with that.
Asterion promoted it from an emergency food source to a hunting partner pretty quickly. 😂

It just fits so perfectly. Like the cub is adorable but it's also literally a monster. It's fucking huge for a baby animal.

The owlbear being taken in reminds me of Astarion himself- seen as a monster by most, but loyal to those who've been kind to them in a while.
Astarion and the owlbear are both considered monsters by most people, but are loyal to those who've taken them in despite it.
Astarion literally hoping the cub will bring him a snack 😂
He acts like he's going to eat it then he approves of petting it
When Astarion called the cub a snack, I nearly choked. Thankfully I wasn't drinking at the moment.
I can guess what you choked on then.

And then it proceeds to sleep and hang around his tent. Perfect

Anyone who shoos that precious baby away is a terrible person

Owlbear: Thirty-five years!
I was not expecting to find a King of the Hill reference. 😂
love the two lil cuties scratch and owlbear together. the big bro stuff so over the moon with cuteness
Owlbear cub used to have a brother. His mother ate him though.
I see those negative/neutral options and they're just... _not_ options for me, either. Heck, I "chat" with owls irl, how could I possibly hurt or dismiss that little guy?!?!?!
I laughed when the game just assumed I had rescued the cub and not annihilated the whole goblin camp so it never got captured in the first place 😅
It's so damn cute!! And then the voice took me by surprise, but I guess as it's a strong little monster, the voice doesn't have to be adorable.
noooo astarion i thought i was your only snack :(

wait, is it possible to screw the throw and scare the lil guy?
Where do you find the owlbear??
the heck you do w the dicerolls theyre totally sped up somehow
I edited the actual rolling out, so you only see the required roll and the result.
