I still have to laugh about the first time AA said "Oh please darling, you have the Vampire Ascendent at your side. How could we lose?" and 5 seconds later something one-hitted him 🤣 To be fair it was my first game and I had no clue how to play. His Ascension did not save him from my inability to play lol
I see a new video by you, I click 😅 Astarion is SO protective. He doesn't start out like that, for 200 years he had to protect himself and couldn't protect anyone else, he wasn't even able to save himself. The *one* time he tried to save one of his victims he was locked in a coffin for a whole year. But after all Tav has done for him and with how in love he is, he would rain hell down on whoever tries to hurt them.
Yes, he is incredibly caring and the way he gives his care and protection to Tav I just can't stand it, it's so damn cute and it brings tears of affection to my eyes. He not only tells Tav with words that Tav has nothing to fear with him anymore, but he confirms it with his actions. ❤️❤️❤️
@@iamkittybg3 he does. People say he lies, but ignore that he really does share his sun immunity with Tav. If he truly lies about these things, it would have been easier to control a lover who can't walk in the sun. And yet here we are, in the sun with him. And when he says "you don't have to fear anything" he does include himself with that.
@@Nakumiya I agree. Honestly, when some people come to the comments and start writing that he is lying, it looks like their cheap manipulation and justification of some fantasies that are not connected with reality. Probably these people themselves never ascended Astarion 😆
@@iamkittybg3 yeah with some it's really clear they never ascend him themselves and just watch youtube shorts that show him being angry and never show how they get there. What puzzles me most however are the people who watch your videos and then go "oh yeah, look, you can see there is something wrong." 🥺🥺🥺 And I'm here completely puzzled because, uhm, did they watch the same video??
@@Nakumiya Like, their comprehension is so bad. 😩 We know he's not a "Hero" and he's more into his Lawful Evil alignment (Magistrate & Lord). You as his Lover are supposed to be the EXCEPTION to the Rule. He's only himself with you. Everybody else is irrelevant. It's the same thing with people who try to shame others for reading Dark Romance on Booktok saying we need therapy and that we need to touch grass! 😂 My character touched plenty of grass while on her back at camp during nightly feedings! 😅
1:56 I love his pose. When you enter the Grymforge and the duergar demands that you pay her since you are a True soul, it is so funny to see Astarion suddenly in the same pose behind my Tav's back. 😂 My man feels protective (also he doesn't like to part with our money)!😅
So what people don't understand Astarion because he's like a cat. A highly traumatized cat. Everything he does in the beginning is for his own safety, (excluding a couple of things he thinks are funny), and one you've helped him understand that you are someone who really truly has his back, he is there for you. He fights for you both, not just himself.
This line is right after fighting his siblings as long as they didn’t take him. PC: “I can’t believe how you lied to them. You know they’ll have to die for the Rite to happen.” Astarion: “What does it matter? There’s only six of them. And they are vampire spawn.” PC: “You don’t have sympathy for others sharing your plight?” Astarion: “No one ever looked out for me. No one ever said a kind thing to me. You’re the only one. Other people don’t have a heart like you. You’re you. No one is like that.” PC: “There are many others like me who will care for you, if you care for them.” Astarion: Ah, don’t sell yourself so short. I’m doing this for you, too, you know. To make sure we’re both safe. Forever, for good.” If you’re not romanced with Astarion, then he’ll say this instead: “Ah, don’t sell yourself so short. But… perhaps there’s something in what you say.”
Kitty, thank you again for showing the way that I see ASTARION. He truly is perfect. Your wonderful video knocked it out of the cosmos again! 🥰🥰🥰❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥💫💫💫🩸🩸🩸
Oh, it's wonderful, it makes me want to cuddle up to him and purr.😍 I've never in any game seen such devotion from a lover and such a strong attachment in return.❤ I went through the first two acts caring solely about Astarion and trying to protect him from any dangers, using “gentle protective bonds” with rings, so that only he would not be wounded in battle. And afterwards, Astarion gains power and becomes such a protector that he made me feel like a truly loved and sheltered woman.💞 “After two hundred years of shit, pure shit, I think I deserve something better.” - how much real pain there is in that line, in his scream...😢 Of course Astarion deserves better. The best. And he doesn't just want it for himself, he wants to protect his beloved. After the kind of suffering Astarion has been through, he understands the value of strength, he knows what this world is like, he wants to keep his beloved safe from all its dangers. The following dialog moves me to tears... And then: "To make sure we're both safe. Forever, for good." And that warm smile. Even before the ritual, Astarion wants to be together forever.❤❤ About Haarlep, I was very interested to know that it turns out Astarion is trying to stop you and intervene. I pull out my sword too quickly, I guess he just didn't have time...😅 "I'm with you, my dear. Wherever this leads." - awesome!💗 BTW, Gale betrays DU in this case, I don't know for sure about all the other possible LIs, but Gale is clearly not as in love with DU as Astarion is.
Oh yes, Astarion wants to be with Tav forever and he thought about it in advance, long before the ritual. I believe it is as good a reason as being under the sun.. I think he even imagined how he will be with Tav together forever in the evenings, looking at her while she sleeps. 🥰❤️ Gale betrays Durge? I didn't know that. Well, of course Durge isn't Mystra. 😂
Well Wyll definitely betrays Durge there and I think Karlach. I could have sworn you can persuade Gale to stay on your side. Shadowheart, Lae'zel and Astarion are ride or die here.
@@iamkittybg3 Yes, it's so romantic... And Tav will then admire Astarion in the morning while he's still asleep, watching the sunlight fall on his sweet sleepy face.🥰 My friend was playing different playthroughs of the evil DU, and Gale at this very point with Jaheira and Minsc takes their side and betrays the DU. In general, she said that Gale has almost no empathy for the DU, unlike Astarion.
@@Nakumiya Also, Minthara is completely supportive of the DU. That they then force the DU to kill Astarion or Minthara in the evil ending is just awful after such their loyalty.😭

Hello. I'm in the Adamantine Forge now, but the molds are not where they should be, I don't understand what's wrong, is this a bug? Can it be fixed?😬😵💫
Don't know about a bug but I know there's one on a platform and another two near the Fast Travel marker on one of the tables before fighting the suits of armor.
Hi, are there any molds at all? Try looking in different places, they are scattered all over the place. They can be on an iron bridge that is suspended from above the grymforge, in the nooks near the forge portal.
@@raelaurenmccoy803 yes, I looked around there, but they are nowhere to be found, and I have already checked the guides. In the end, I gave up and went to the second act (I was in the first). I don't know what I missed, that they should have appeared, but they are not. Because of this, I deleted one save, thinking that it was a bug. But now I don't even know.😔😖

Same with the sussur flower when you lose you magic I have seen a dialouge where he says may I suggest getting it back we cant have anything happen to our favorite sorcerer can we? Becauce when I go to that flower all he says I dont travel with you for your personality you know! How the heck do you people get these dialouges?
I always ascend him, i noticed that he is wonderful to you is you agree with him but if you don't, his responses can be very dry and blunt and i interpret this as if he doesn't know how to deal with conflict inside his relationship as he has never had one before, so his response is going on the defensive, i roleplay this as Tav will always show him a gentler way of existance. What i Will never understand because it's not explained anywhere is why he sees you as degrading yourself is you continue to be with him in the night that he turns you, so i have my own version of this and has to do with his lack of self steem, after all he only got his powers the night before! Still a long road to grow emotionally and tav as his comsort will help him with that
That's how it was supposed to be interpreted but I've heard mixed takes. "He will always see you as degrading yourself to be with him but maybe you wish to degrade yourself and he knows it." (IMO) He feels the MC (his lover) is lowering themselves to be with him and deserves better but he knows they are willing to because they love him. Helping him Ascend and submitting when he asks you to kneel proves what the MC is willing to do for him. Just my take.😅
my interpretation: he considers himself unworthy and inferior to Tav, so if Tav continues to be with him, then she will continue to be with the creature of darkness despite his ascension. He values himself very low in reality deep down and considers himself unworthy of Tav. Therefore, he believes that Tav as a hero will degrade herself. Also kneeling is part of the ritual of turning Tav into a vampire bride. After Tav kneels and he explains the details to her, he kneels too and it's not visible because of the camera angles, but I have a video on the channel with freecam. He's very gentle and looks at Tav the whole time. you can watch this if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/zEcNt52QFFY/v-deo.htmlsi=pa-7WHBYGAIj8BKo

here is Astarion before and after his ascension (Ascended Astarion)❤
I love this about the character. He hasn't had anyone on his side for over two centuries. Now that he does, he'll do anything for them.
It's true, he will do anything for Tav/Durge ❤️

He finally found someone worth giving up to anything.
Someone on whos side he can be just himself. He's gonna protect that, no matter what.
