@@DEATHBYFLYINGCDS To be fair, while the NPC is something that you can avoid having in your party.

It's like watching a TV show, and a main character is super annoying. Astarions voice at least to me is mildly annoying, but fine if I don't talk to him often. Well Written Character, very well voiced acted, and when he says something sarcastic I chuckle, but goodness gravy is it too much sometimes.

what's really funny about this encounter is that if you are a GoO Warlock, you patron directly tells you it doesn't like Dribbles. mind you this is one of the only times in the entire game where you get any information from your warlock ,and it's that Cthulu doesn't like clowns
It's the same with a fiend. Who would have thought the thing that mysterious evils from far reach and monsters from lower planes have in common is a dislike for clowns?

@@Arkyliereminds me of my 2e session where we had this drug crazed goblin. He was prone, drunk, and we had a party of strictly rangers. We all spent 3 turns shooting arrows at him and after the ninth arrow in a row missed at point blank range our best ranger decided he was going to throw his quiver at him. We rolled to hit and he succeeded. He rolled damage. (1D4 +strength improvised weapon) he rolled a 1. Barely Enough to kill the dying, drug addled goblin. When we realized his strength was 9… so he did 1 minus 1 damage… with the 9 arrows around the goblin and the quiver full of arrows strewn around him we all 3 just sat down next to the gobbo and retired our career as rangers.
I always love watching these vids where everyone's characters look badass as fuck, and then you have my character who basically has on rags and sandals. Really makes me contemplate where it all went wrong.
Barbarians and Monks are among the few classes who get stronger the **less** clothes they wear. When you need to draw on your full strength, rip off your clothes mid-battle with a Sailor Moon-style transformation! I grant you advantage to Intimidation because nobody wants to fight a buck naked lunatic charging at them with murderous intent.

This is just reminding me of how often in Skyrim I'll marvel at how various people don't react to my character in a realistic way. Random thieves trying to strongarm me despite my armor, magic, heavily armored follower, and floating minion made of fire, just as an example. Or the way certain townsfolk react. I'm looking forward to seeing if BG3 has a more immersive vibe to it, since the devs seem to have gone out of their way to account for player choice in so many little details.
@@ArkylieWell there is one thing that actually gets very annoying, very fast and can lead to npc's literally running to their deaths. They react to undead summons and I believe elemental summons and druid wild shapes too, and by react, I mean they shit their pants, shout at them about not belonging here while chasing after them, and quite often, running to their deaths in certain areas. Thankfully, there is a mod that changes it so you can either have them only react verbally (though there is only a small pool of dialogue) or simply not react at all. Aside from that, I believe the only other kinds of interactions are class and race based in dialogue, such as being able to roar at people as a barbarian, giving you advantage on an intimidation check. It's pretty cool, but the first one I described just gets tiring very quickly.

I've been experimenting with the power of Withers. He lets you reset the *base class* for any character, including the premade members that in character creation have locked classes. This actually leads to special interactions, such as Karlach having unique dialogue options as a Druid, and having people talk to her confused about her Infernal Engine Tieflingness with the oaths and powers of Druidism. Also everyone has unique lines for when they use Vicious Mockery. I'm certain some characters would have different options in a situation like this based on base class.
But what I don't understand is even if I change the class, I am stuck at lvl 1, it doesn't auto update to the previous level you were at, at least for me. Maybe it's a bug, I am not sure.
MASSIVE jokes on everyone who doesn't appreciate Astarion's voice. His VA, Neil, just got an award for best supporting performer for this part, and it couldn't be more deserved.
I LOVE ASTARION I LOVE HOW HE HAS A FEAR OF CLOWNS HES SO SILLY imagine a vampire that’s killed hundreds and kidnapped just as many and his biggest fear isn’t the sun but clowns
Hearing Dribbles say, “Praise the Absolute” out of no where on my first playthrough threw me off so hard I had to pick up my jaw from the floor. Such a fun encounter.
I accidently triggered that scene in my playthrough, I was laughing for like 5 minutes straight. The way he says that, with that awkward look afterwards and that Larian made it possible to do this is just pure gold
D&D rules for adventurers in town _specifically state_ that you can't throw the first punch. You've got to let the cultist attack you first, and _then_ you get to tear him limb from limb ...in front of an all-ages audience. Actually, it's best to not think too hard about some things. 😅
@@jd2792 There's a lot of "evil" creatures working in the circus, being perfectly civil and professional; a mummy, an ifrit, some redcaps and the leader is a necromancer. The dog doesn't stand out at all in that crowd.
@@Lightice1 Mummies aren't always evil aligned. back in 3.5 a Mummy was the only Undead capable of having class levels in Paladin, because Mummy alignment was Any Lawful.

Astarion's great because I can become genuinely emotional over his past traumas while still being entertained by him getting mauled by a dog or annihilated by a sun cannon
This whole video is pure comedy. Astarion's reaction. The random dark urge narration that ultimately goes nowhere. And the delivery of "praise the absolute" really ties everything together
Can’t wait to get to this point. Long story short, hated being Druid. Switched to bard. I found I used charisma a lot and I think I genuinely enjoy bard more.

Really? But druid is the most fun class imo transforming into animals to scout and survey the area, shapeshifting to an owlbear and dropping yourself on enemies and killing them with your weight, spamming moonbeam to melt every enemies, using spores to make an undead army. Shame you dropped it, to each of their own i suppose.
i am so so glad that i took astarion with me all the time in my first playtrough lol. at first my party consisted of me, astarion, schadowheart and wyll. then i switched wyll for lae´zel when i realised how strong she was and after that i switched her out for karlach because i though she was hilarious and equally as strong, if not even stronger... so since the middle of act 2 till the end of the game my party consisted of me. astarion, shadowheart and karlach. now i am in my second playthrough and besides karlach (because i want to romance her instead of shadowheart this time) i am taking two characters with me that i didnt really used that much in gale and wyll and even tho i actually like them both (yes even gale) it just isnt the same without astarion in your party haha
Saw a few comments where people were wondering what armour my Tav and companions were wearing. Here it is: Tav: Flawed Helldusk Armour, with no dye. Obtained by giving the extra Infernal Iron to the smith Dammon once you've reasonably progressed Karlach's story. If you've missed this chance, you can get the unflawed Helldusk armour by progressing Raphael's story. Astarion: Spidersilk Armour, with "Red Dye". Obtained from Minthara. Shadowheart: Adamantine Splint Armour, with "Bloody Plum Dye" (although Lavender dye looks great too). Obtained from Grymforge in Act 1. Wyll: good ol' Padded Armour+2, with no dye Also I'm compiling all the Astarion cutscenes/notable dialogue I get in this wacky playlist here, which will be updated as I go along the second playthrough: ua-cam.com/play/PL_pb-Hz17m9787olQp7BmowBMBRLDnZ7A.html

I dont know, but when I saw this clown first time, I wondered why Till Lindemann was in Baldurs Gate 3
Didn't seem to be enough pyrotechnics for Till, but pretty close.
He felt there was something not right with this clown. He felt it.
I wish we had an option to ask Astarion if he fears clowns more than the sun or his sire...
I took karlach to the circus because she seemed so happy. She murdered that clown. Put him in the dirt
"Concussive Smash" Homie tried to Gallagher Astarion.
There is a reason why he won Best Performance.
This was easily my favorite exchange in the whole game.
It's even funnier when you do it with a level 3 character you have not used and they explode from the clowns sneak attack
This was my favorite because I love Astarion and him saying that to me is hysterical
I accidentally rolled into this scene as a wheel of cheese 😢 it was very interesting
This is the easiest game of "spot the main character" I've ever played.
I felt this "hail Hidra" energy when the clown was about to attack hahaha
i am so so glad that i took astarion with me all the time in my first playtrough lol. at first my party consisted of me, astarion, schadowheart and wyll. then i switched wyll for lae´zel when i realised how strong she was and after that i switched her out for karlach because i though she was hilarious and equally as strong, if not even stronger... so since the middle of act 2 till the end of the game my party consisted of me. astarion, shadowheart and karlach. now i am in my second playthrough and besides karlach (because i want to romance her instead of shadowheart this time) i am taking two characters with me that i didnt really used that much in gale and wyll and even tho i actually like them both (yes even gale) it just isnt the same without astarion in your party haha
"Oh good puns!! Because clowns aren't enough of a horror already."
line even sounds like its delivered behind a big crowd-appeasing fake grin
"How about another joke, Astarion?!"
I haven't played this game yet but I already love Astarion. LOL
To be fair to Astarion the clown looks like the Joker, but in blue, red and yellow. Really fucking creepy.
I see Astarion, I click.
FYI, throw a jar of water at someone to clean the blood off them.
Oh Buddy, what happened to you? Buddy... Where's Emmie?
Clown: *misses point blank concussion*
Refuses to further elaborate
*here comes the punchline* is underrated
I swear the light chuckle after he says "I'm going to fucking kill you" is actually Neil corpsing.
This is a real "Hail Hydra" moment.
Years of not finding Emmie turned Buddy into this dog? So sad. X(
The new trend? Bullying Astarion... I like that! ^^'
Dear Astarion. You must only have the strenght to make the right sacrifices. Want and Sacrifice..
Saw a few comments where people were wondering what armour my Tav and companions were wearing. Here it is:
Tav: Flawed Helldusk Armour, with no dye. Obtained by giving the extra Infernal Iron to the smith Dammon once you've reasonably progressed Karlach's story. If you've missed this chance, you can get the unflawed Helldusk armour by progressing Raphael's story.
Astarion: Spidersilk Armour, with "Red Dye". Obtained from Minthara.
Shadowheart: Adamantine Splint Armour, with "Bloody Plum Dye" (although Lavender dye looks great too). Obtained from Grymforge in Act 1.
Wyll: good ol' Padded Armour+2, with no dye
Also I'm compiling all the Astarion cutscenes/notable dialogue I get in this wacky playlist here, which will be updated as I go along the second playthrough: ua-cam.com/play/PL_pb-Hz17m9787olQp7BmowBMBRLDnZ7A.html
1:15 Most sane Dark Urge moment.
Astarion is always a mood for D&D players.
That's hilarious. I love Astarion and Neil. I refused to go up there and just stared at the clown. He got upset and murdered a civilian volunteer.
Every time Neil Newbon delivers these lines, I am laughing until I feel sick
Damn I never got there, the end credits rolled for me in act2 gg
The fuck would you blow Gale up for?!
@@ThwipThwipBoom It's fine I reloaded my save.....and I just did it again in Act3
@@voidzone 😱🤬
I LITERALLY SCREAMED THAT DELIVERY WAS SO PERFECT
Damn bro, your Dark Urge looks a lot like mine, with the same party comp. Pretty wild
The blood covering his face makes the scene even better...
THE MAN. DOES NOT. MISS.
I am happy i am not the only person who got to see this scene. Was so damn funny.
Moments like these is why not having asterion in party is pretty much pointless
Because no other companion has this type of stuff as an option sadly
Just use the mod that let's you bring everyone
@@ThatTCG I dont want to bring everyone
This has big “I wish every play through was the same” energy.
@@SonicBoyster
If the options of gameplay are 10hrs of extra content or no extra content, there is no reason why you wouldnt pick the prior option. If the other characters were as reactive of their envioroment there wouldnt be an issue, but that isnt the case
@@SonicBoyster No, it has a "I wish I wouldn't be forced to replay the game several times to get some of the content when the rest is pretty much the same. "
Ok why is literally everyone a lizard in this game?
