"I tried them all. None of them answered" might be reading into it a bit but this line made me sad. Thinking of Astarion in Cazador's basement praying to whoever would listen..
I think this is why Astarion doesn't like Gale at first. The idea of praying for a god, any god, to save you and they just never did and then you meet a guy who was a favorite of one of the gods who ignored you... obviously it's not Gale's fault but the unfairness of that favoritism would probably be enraging.

I love how nonchalantly Astarion will remind us he's unbelievably old with that calamari bit. Also him praying to all of the gods and receiving no answer for long enough to lose all faith/hope breaks my heart.
I find it interesting that Astarion doesnt remember major life events from before he was turned but does remember that the tavern used to sell good squid lol
I like how they didn't have Gale respond to "I tried them all; none of them answered." That line hits like a freight train and any response from any companion would have cheapened it. And yes it would have made even Gale speechless.
100% yeah, that line is such a bomb drop you can't continue afterwards lol. And while it's not the same as what Astarion experienced - 200 years of suffering with no hero or god caring enough to save him - I feel like that line could've reminded Gale of how, for an entire year, his god left him to a fate genuinely worse than death (threatening possibly thousands of others too) instead of helping him with the orb before disappearing from his life - that punishment would be devastating enough for him without making him a nuke. I have a feeling he could relate to Astarion there more than he'd maybe feel comfortable with.
Hard disagree. This is a pretty common line in fantasy. 😂 A good writer could keep this conversation going. That’s what good writing does: defy what you think is possible.
“I tried them all. None of them answered” is my favorite exploration banter in the game. It’s such a simple interaction but so heartbreaking at the same time. I’m ngl, I genuinely cried when he said that the first time.
This line, along with another one about vibrant streets in daylight (assuming he hasn't seen any colors for two centuries due to colourless night vision), both occur at the threshold of the middle city, both felt like a gut punch for me 😫😭
@@caitlin329 I don't think he can sense flirting. I don't think he KNOWS what flirting is. Gale can't flirt for shit and is extremely socially awkward. I bet he takes everything Astarion says at first at face value, then slowly learns what he's saying by studying his speech patterns and inflections. It's a very Gale thing to do.
That would’ve flown over my head, too. You like walking with me? That means we should continue to do exactly what we’ve already been doing and change nothing since this is clearly what works.
A lot of banter is location triggered. But it also depends who is in your party, and some party compositions are more silent than the others. And on top of that it's also a bit bugged and I've noticed a lot of esp act II and III stuff just doesn't trigger sometimes. Just make sure the setting for banter is "always" in audio tho, that's an important one
people don't shut up in act one so yeah, it's just the other acts are more buggy i think (specifically 3 and act 2 really isn't a place for much ideal conversation besides last light tbh). i've triggered some going down the stairs near the harbor and going near the train tracks (near the foundry) in act 3 off the top of my head my last two banters. I know I liked in Dragon Age Origins and 2 where they were triggered by specific locations so I could just get banter whenever I wanted and hear it all. Not sure if Baulder's Gate has triggers like that but I feel like it should somewhat.
@@nightfrost1891yeah I was really surprised when I saw the actual length of party banter video on UA-cam. But I've never heard 90% of it in-game. It made me really angry

I hope so, so is the reference to the Onyx Tower during one of the dialogues... I miss the Ghost of the Tavern... wish Larian had made an updated version of it...

I mean Astarion would have been insanely useful to Shar, but I'm not convinced he would have followed her. Used her to escape and for protection, absolutely, but it seems like it would be just another "bide his time until he can win" scenario I don't know much about Shar outside of BG3 context, but most of what she offers seems like things Astarion already has more than enough of. - Removal of memories? - He can't even remember his own eye color - Learning to deal with and overcome pain and loss? - he's been flayed alive on a semi regular basis and lost everything but his mind already. His entire arc is largely about trying to stop things from being taken from him ever again. - immortality? He's a vampiric high Elf. Not exactly immortal but close enough. And it's likely a lie. Astarion also hates people who remind him of Cazador, which Shar certainly would. Manipulation and false promises and mind games. He doesn't want another master. He'd be grateful she freed him absolutely. But overall I don't think he'd buy what she's selling. So he'd just make himself useful until he could get away from her, too.
And I ship them so much that I played Origin Astarion to have those two dating. Now I'm playing Gale and he already has the vampire as romance objective!!!
Love walking around with these two and shadowheart. They had a couple of three piece dialogues early in the game. Shame that doesn’t really happen past act 1
tysm! glad you like the banters I shared. sometimes in order to trigger a banter in a specific location I need to do a quickload first, or simply do a fast travel to the nearest portal, yes it really buggy atm, that's why I love doing this for those who can't hear them in their game, but hopefully Larian will fix it one day.
@@DragonsDream Thank you. Also it's not just the banters, the way you record these videos are so impressive. I'd rather watch these banters here than in my own game 😂🤍
If you're on pc, I recommend the party limit begone mod. I'm traveling with everybody right now and they're talking constantly in act 1. Heck, even without the mod you can still get banter just from having the right party. I had Wyll, Lae'zel, and Gale and they wouldn't shut up long enough even for me to level them up in the blighted village. I had to read the banter later because they continued talking in the level up screen.
I, too, have dealt with manipulative partners, so everything with the Emperor feels painfully familiar. I’m glad I’m not the only one that sees him that way.
These two were staples in my party on my first playthrough. So I heard all of these in the and then some. Astarion is such a sassy bitch sometimes, and Gale ia just like tge old man who sighs and humors him. 😂
I always got the sense that Astarion admires Gale from the beginning (bc of his powerful magic). But Gale doesn’t trust Astarion until later in the adventure.
Damn Astarion saying none of the Gods answered makes him disapproving whenever I donated 5k gold for the permanent buff make more sense I just assumed he didn't like wasting money but in reality he loathed the act of relying on the deities itself. The line makes a lot of his random approvals that occurred when you went against the "divines" wishes make more sense.

- Removal of memories? - He can't even remember his own eye color
- Learning to deal with and overcome pain and loss?
- he's been flayed alive on a semi regular basis and lost everything but his mind already. His entire arc is largely about trying to stop things from being taken from him ever again.
