      @@Louves192 I think he’d be open to trying things for his own enjoyment after his personal quest but he still needs time to heal and to really enjoy sex in this case.

      @@Louves192 yeah, I think people just really want him to be poly. But in my opinion, the developers should have chosen for this someone without such extreme sexual trauma. I think it suffers from being a very late addition in the process. For example, both Shadowheart and Minthara think he doesn't want to share Tav at all.

    I love the moment of consent in the Sharess’ Caress scene with Astarion feeling able to say no when he expresses that he isn’t comfortable doing anything with the drow twins yet. I really appreciate this line for his character considering Astarion’s past of being controlled and used by Cazador, and his struggle rediscovering his ability to make his own choices after escaping Cazador. This game has amazing writers along with incredible actors! 😊 Neil and Tom, thanks for always making this a safe and inclusive space! These playthroughs are always a highlight of my day. Neil secretly sneaking items to Tom cracks me up! 😂

    50:22 who else as an Astarion romancer does this scene BECAUSE he says no? I do it every time, not because I want us to sleep with the Drow twins, but because I want to hear him say he’s not comfortable with it. To me, it’s an important moment of growth for his character. He’s learning that he can say no, and be honest about how he’s feeling. And Tav/Durge won’t judge or shame him for it.

    5:46 Run.
    6:54 Asra's in jail. Ironic. Poor Gale. Reload.
    14:35 Manip
    17:04 Astarion's remark on the flop house: "I found so many victims for Cazador here. They're the kind of people no one would ever miss." It reminds me of how cult members tend to target similar victims- the unmissed and the desperate.

    45:53 Irenya and Ghainemeir, Bow'ee not being Wise again and offends her way through the city
    47:50 Asra being talked to about getting laid
    49:00 the drow twins- Nym & Sorn (Sorn's "love trick" is just casting Enlarge on... well...), another proof that being your character's actor doesn't mean you know him fully, Astarion's not comfy with it for reasons | I'm not sure why neither Neil nor Tom understood, but, Astarion's confession's already a big giveaway on why he isn't comfortable having a foursome | If it's just Bow'ee, he's still highly selective on who he'd share her with (and Halsin's strangely the only one he allows to share her with for reasons not really given). | It shows that Astarion's even more complex than he seems if his own actor got shocked by his refusal. | Kudos to Stephen Rooney.
    50:46 Gregorio, the one who messed with the bears
    54:40 Kira the Cat "I am checking out this pussy... cat."
    58:12 Asra refuses to pay to get laid. Understandable. Simply getting laid and making love are two different dances

Although i get ur thought process, the way you guys are acting makes it seem as though he was upset at astarion for not agreeing or something of that sorts. It has been years and there were millions of lines so expecting him to remeber off the top of his head astarion's reasonings, especially when he 1. hasn't played the game before and 2. didn't get the line where astarion said it feels tainted and they won't do it for aslong as he needs, is something i wouldn't really say is impossible to remeber but also wouldn't be suprised if he forgot it.

Sorry if i came off too harsh i just found it wierd how some fans were treating neil especially in the comments of not only this video but the other episode streams he did. It's as if the fans forgot that he is doing this to have fun and enjoy himself, not to do a deep dive on the story as if he hasn't done interviews on that before. obviously i'm not saying that we should all ignore astarion's issues, and pretend as though it's not a big part of his story but instead just let the creator play the damn game, he may have played astarion but he is his own person seperate from the characters he plays and people clearly need to remeber that. One moment of confusion shouldn't ruin the game for everyone. But i do understand why it shocked people how he didn't remeber, it did kinda confuse me too but to be honest, i think it was just an honest mistake and also like i said before we should take into account how he hasn't played the game before and didn't get the specific confession line where astarion says it feels tainted and how they can wait for as long as he needs.
