The reason why you can get two different answers "correct" but receive approval for one and disapproval for another is because Astarion is not an open person, and does not appreciate being made vulnerable in front of a complete stranger. He likes when you give answers that are disingenuous, like "breaking a nail," or "revenge," for this reason. Giving honest answers might show the nymph you truly know him, but Astarion already knows how well you understand him because you're his sole confidant. He doesn't need you airing out his laundry to prove it.
For some reason, the way Astarion looks at Tav at 4:36 makes my heart all fluttery. Actually, all of his facial expressions throughout this side quest were just beautiful. Soft Astarion is Best Astarion.❤❤
ohmygosh I can't believe this is a thing, both hysterical and very sweet haha! Me: I can't keep watching all the Astarion content, I gotta at least leave one moment as a mystery Also me: *watches all the Astarion content* ...well shit
OMG, I picked each line Astarion approved but I still failed the trial and that ginger druid told me our bond was all illusion and turned out to be Orin.
my scene ended on a sour note, and turned out differently in the end because (spoilers) . . . the druid was actually a shapeshifted Orin for me. she ruined my romantic moment LOL
Started a second run with him. Made the game much more enjoyable to play honestly. A much more complex relationship then the fanfiction one you get with Halsin. Thank you for posting! Might not have bothered if I didn't see your videos!
Awww Thank You 😊 I hope you get all his scenes 🙏 I've started a second playthrough also with just him, now that I have my mods working and get some scenes/ quests I missed.
Dunno if I'm getting too worried about this but I just had this scene and I chose all the fun answers, he approved to all of them. Most because I don't want a stranger to know our darkest secrets and clearly he doesn't either. I don't know if that affects the romance in any way. Like, it's Orin after all, woman's a nutcase so I don't really care if she says "your love is false" but I wonder if the game thinks it's a bad choice and steers the romance accordingly? I don't know, maybe it's not that deep lol.
I really appreciate you sharing all these clips in such good quality, my PC can't handle the game but I'm FERAL for this man!! Do you perhaps have a clip of when he says please and cheeky little pup??
Perhaps my only gripe with his romance would be how it ended, i don't expect out of character changes for him, just all that progress you made and how he was so sweet to you in the good ending route as you two went through so much, for it to fall flat after the ending cutscene under the docks was a bit...off...as if you two had not progressed much which was a bit...not how you expect all that progress to turn into '-'
I agree 100 % ! I was so disappointed too with his romance ending. It feel so flat, like declaring our love for each other never happened. The dialogue & options was rubbish , nothing meaningful or romantic. Not even even being able to hug or kiss him in our final dialogue with him.i hope Larian fixes these endings and give us more satisfying endings with our love interest. It seems they spent so much time on his Vampire Lord evil ending that his good outcome was just an afterthought and just thrown together. He should be rewarded for going down the good / redemption path. All he gets is to return to the shadows almost burn in the sun 😠
@@aranellavellan ikr, everything up until that point was very good and tbh...what im a bit sad about is that i feel so so many contents were cut from the game, i think they wanted to add more but they did not and rushed things they could have polished, if i were to get a better experience, more refined in all ways, story, romance and etc then i was willing to wait another year for release. The downside of giving the romance more flavor (except some final cutscene touches, those can be implemented still i believe but that depends on larian) is that if they give more romance endings, dialogues, etc, the rest of the game will be short on delivery, because then the whole game as a total may not stand up to what it is supposed to be. Which is a chaotic dnd campaign formed into a video game. There is also something else to consider regarding Astarion himself as a whole, he is a very tragic character, in a very tragic world. The world itself is chaotic, it is sad, almost few people actually even get to end up with a happy ending, some, like astarion, and like honestly each of our companions experienced terrible things through and through. So it makes sense the good ending caught for astarion was, just salvation, freedom no matter the cost, i think they made it so the whole point of his story was to not become the one thing he despised the most. And to just be free, despite the feast of corruption laid out in front of him to take, for him to have a chance to really live not a necessarily better life, but atleast one he can be happy in it, or at very least find peace in. and to have a chance to heal. In search of power you are never truly free, only hungry for more, restless for being toppled over and scared of losing power, especially in this case. Then again, if there was a better sort of ending, slightly more polished, and more to the companions as a whole, i would say then yes. also more probably better endings for each (they still owe us that weird dock scene though atleast let us tell him we love him and comfort him or smn) It also breaks my heart that some companions didnt even get a good ending. I hope there are variations we havent found, but i doubt so. It pisses me off how companions end up only good and evil if they are alive and well at all considering how tragic the game is and how ruthless the world there is, it does make sense, but does not mean i won't cry my eyes out in desperation of how they didnt deserve all that and should have had bettet than this.
Ooooh, I would have picked freedom rather than revenge so it's interesting that that's the correct choice. I do wonder what responses the other choices would yield- hhhh, I really should buy this game
When I picked "Freedom", it was also correct, he agreed that it's true, but Astarion disapproved of that answer, getting also defensive like with the third question.
I played this scene this morning and "Freedom" is correct but he'll also get mad at you for airing out his feelings just like when you expose that his deepest fear is being a slave forever (you can see in the video that he disapproved). He doesn't like that you tell his deepest feelings to a stranger. He responds best to "Revenge" and "Breaking a nail" for the 2 last questions. Regardless of which of the 2 options you pick in both questions the game will still say that you answered everything correctly even if you lost approval with Astarion.
haha makes sense, especially for him. Like he says, doesn't like having all that said to some rando. I assumed to closer you were to the very heart of the matter, the more upset he'd be. For me freedom is def the #1 answer. Regardless of whether or not he believes he has it, it's something he desires more than anything else. One thing I love so much about this game is how getting disapproval doesn't nessicarily mean it was a BAD choice. Makes everyone feel more real and alive, sometimes they even thank you later. So awesome. @@exisalis5404
hmm - got finally to this scene, but strangely the ending is totally different (if you know, you know) - and I just don't know why it gets triggered for me and not for you :D
@@casual2694nah, i found out in the meantime that this only hapoens if u havent encountrred that person (i know there is another one so im going there😅)
Это в цирке в третьем акте, если придти туда слишком рано, до того как Орин заберёт Лизу, то она будет вместо этой лесной дамы и не будет такой романтичной сценки.
No, but it would be pretty impractical to hire 8(+?) different voice actors to just read all of the same dialogue over and over for everything the player says in the whole story lol. But they do have lines of dialogue when you’re traveling around, interacting with objects, etc.
It's interesting that this game is known for "over delivering" and yet dragon age Inquisition had four voices with full environment and cut scene dialogue. That was almost ten years ago, the most dialog for a player character ever, at the time.
@@Venzynt I mean I’ll be honest. If the fact that a game with around 75 to 100 hours of playtime doesn’t have your player character’s voice repeating the dialogue you just had to read yourself anyways every single time you make a dialogue decision is what breaks your immersion and makes you decide that the game is subpar or whatever you’re insinuating, then I don’t think I can convince you otherwise. Honestly I would have preferred to have a completely silent protagonist, if anything. Such a weird nitpick to make lmao
It's apparently random. You'll be able to tell with how she describes your love for each other. If it's sweet then it's the real person, if it's fragile then it's the orin
Apparently there are several people who can be orin And it depends on who you talk to Which makes sense, you have to meet her at some point and not everyone would do a little silly love trial

Breaking a nail is the correct answer for the last question and gives you approval lol
Astarion, darling, keep your nails short. Especially when you kinda confirmed your love to gore :)))
Really!? Omg thank you hahaha

He adores his Tav so much.
4:35 omgsh did Astarion nudge Tav? That is too adorable. And the loving stare he's giving. Ugh he's precious❤❤
The redhead's voice actress is astounding.
obsessed with the "He's happy now, look at that smile!!" option LMAO i wonder what would happen if that one was picked
He says your off to a wrong start. Its a grimace.
@m.d.1836 haha aw! Not as funny as I hoped, but still cute somehow 😆 thanks!
@@Carolina57685 It's actually way funnier, lol. He says it super sarcastically, he's like "it's a grimace, SWEETIE. Not off to a great start!!"
2:15 - typical boyfriend. “We are participating in something weird, but okey if you are happy”.
i wish they would have at least embraced or kissed at the end. this vid is still hella cute.
Ya a kiss would have been nice❤️
