      Honestly I think that's something the writers left out intentionally. Man needs to decompress. Touch or words in that moment might take him completely out of his sorrow and call on him to think of how he's being perceived instead. A comforting scene afterwards would be really nice, though.

    If you play Astarion as your MC you can go as far, as to carve the runes on Cazador’s back and yet still back out of doing the ritual. Wish you could do this here, since it felt fitting.

    I literally finished going through his novel 15 minutes ago... I feel so strange, during the scene of the murder of Kazador, I wanted to cry so much, but I didn't drop a tear, I just couldn't, only when I saw the scene in the cemetery and left the game, tears flowed from my eyes, so slowly.. I want so much to start crying, but as if something is in the way. Maybe it's that feeling of emptiness when you finally got what you were waiting for and now you don't know what to do next.
    What a pity that in the game you are limited to lines of dialogue and can't say all your words of love to this character.
    And I couldn't decide for myself whether to do it in the cemetery scene or just sit there together, I just really want to be with him together, but I got the impression from this scene that he really wants it, but I don't know how it would have been too little time. I just hope he was honest and really wanted it.❤

You can choose to have yourselves and Astarion’s former fellow spawn to look after them, lead them through the under dark away from people. They like hundreds of years as captives and you think murdering them is the “kindest” thing to do? If you even think about it for a moment with proper morals, you’ll realize that’s absurd. Giving them a chance at freedom is the only good option. As for safety, I guess you could make that argument for anyone. Safer to kill anyone just in case they hurt someone. But that’s not how we want to live, is it? There’s a way to keep them from harming others while giving them a chance at life like a free Astarion.

    Why don't we have to option to attack in mid villain speech. Isn't that what we all really want. I want that. Villain speech are a stupid move anyways, so why not just simply take advantage. Take off my boot and chuck it at him. Or get a archer to shoot arrow at him mid speech.

      I decided to choose the slightly "spicier/meaner" ones out of curiosity, but also because it matched the way I imagined this Tav. Besides, in my opinion, I wouldn't be surprised if many people started the game this way. Early on, Astarion threatens or holds a knife to Tav's throat, which can leave a bad taste.

    You know another thing i love? Astarion can't stay angry at Tav. so many times we see him rein in his anger and i love it.
    And that nervous laugh when he's telling her the truth about his feelings. He's all over the place. I just wish we had the date night scenes that we get in the Astarion/Karlach romance, where they go for dinner and share a bed, but cuddle up and don't do anything but that.

Not fair. My thirst demands more 😅

    • @xModronx
      @xModronx  Рік тому +16

      I completely undersand you, but I think that the differences between those scenes make quite a lot of sense. I wouldn't consider non-ascended version vanilla by any means lol, it's very passionate (even spiritual in a sense) and you can tell that he cares for Tav. As for the ascended version, well...he's not himself anymore, he seems possessive and obsessive hence the more carnal aspect of the scene

    • @bixusmaleficus
      @bixusmaleficus Рік тому +8

      Yeah, I get your point, but I don't see why the "good" stuff always has to be less carnal than the "bad" stuff... Good people also enjoy a nice session of carnal pleasure, so at the very least they could have given us something with the nudity and made it carnal but more loving and tender rather than just simply carnal... that would have been my preference@@xModronx And did I tell you i've now watched our video at least 3 times from start to finish? 😅It's so good ❤Thank you again!
