i know right, my heart just melts ❤‍🔥

I have never played the game but man do I love these videos.

@@silvermoon9186 aww, you gotta try if circumstances allow, videos are great, but direct experience is just 🔥

Yes I picture him stabing it lmao😅

well, Starry can defeat that plant, so if ever there was a safe time to display his gentleman's side - this is it! 😆

hehe, so very true, but that's part of his charm and attraction of "conquering that red flag guy" 😏

@@amistiel I never conquered anything, dude just lockpicked his way into my heart and made himself comfortable 🙃

@@beardiemom oh no, on my first ever attempted play-through (which i abandoned still in act 1), he just told me "it's not you, it's me... I have standards" ... that was it for me, I was so furious, like, oh hell nah, you gonna beg me yet 🤣😅

@@amistiel I guess I always tend to default to do things the vampire is more than fine with xD In my first playthrough, it took until the tiefling party for him to come on to me, whereas now, the man seems to be unable to keep it in his pants around my Tavs and Durges. But I love that line from him, to be honest, even if it means getting rejected by him 😂

@@beardiemom ahaha, true, but I don't wanna hear it again 🥶 now even on good playthrough he somehow likes everything I do, even when not romancing him 😅

so attentive, isn't he? ❤‍🔥

Aww, he's next on my list indeed, can't wait to dive in 🤫😍

@@amistiel He's honestly a handful, from what I could see when my friend was romancing him, but he is very fun, too xD My paladin tav had her sword hovering over his shoulder throughout the entire act 3 because he kept trying to manipulate my friend's Tav into helping him achieve godhood. 😂(Nevermind that her boyfriend wanted to sacrifice 7000 souls for a similar prize. He actually caught a divine smite early in act 3 for that)

@@beardiemom ahaha, why shouldn't he be God Gale - is that also "bad" ending like AA? Cause I totally loved AA with my evil Durge ))))

@@amistiel yeah, it's his "bad" ending where he keeps the crown to himself rather than giving it to Mystra. Obviously that's an interesting option, our characters were just too good-aligned to let him do it xD

​@@beardiemom funny, ok, then i'm gonna be bad first - i always default to bad options as first choice in this game 😅 i'm playing a slightly chaotic neutral monk, so that's gonna fit just fine too with Gale's godly self ))

absolutely :D though they do look even better once you get to dress them in robes in Act 3 😏

They look like a goth punk band 😂 yet somehow it suits them 😂 (though TBH anything on Astarion looks good)

@@elenalizabeth lol, so true :D my bad boy band - all taking turns to wear dog's collar in magic tower, so I can get the whole "who let the dogs out" experience of zapping them 😂

true, it's just so.... so.... ❤‍🔥💔💓😿😻... it makes me giggle and hyper like a toddler after their first taste of ice cream 🤣

Even if romance, you still get that line sadly

ahahaha, no, that's romanced in my case 😆

I think he’s messing with Tav at that point. When you answer he knows you’ll be ok so he has to cover up his concern with jokes.

@@michellehauser1900 true, that was also my interpretation 😻

Astarion has a tendency to pretend he doesn't care, especially when he does. You can *kind of* tell he is actually concerned because the "You look drained" sounds serious and then he immediately follows it up with "And I know it wasn't me" in a joking tone. "See how much I care" is Astarion's go-to attitude when he's uncomfortable or nervous about something.

i know, such a burn 😂💥

hah, he's joking, naturally - he needs protection and travels with you romanced or not :) but it is extra sweet when romancing him - like he's covering up his concern with jokes 😌

My prince with shiny curls & fangs 😍

in the Underdark - if you are playing a magic class and approach Sussur Blooms - first time you do it will have this scene of you losing your magic 💙

I've never gotten it either! And I played warlock with high approval from Astarion

@@thisisdefinitelytrix hmmm, may be it is the romance option afterall? 🤔or perhaps there were mobs around that attacked before cutscene could start?

You only get it when playing a sorcerer, and approach one of the sussur blooms.

@@amistiel this cutscene is only available if you're playing a sorcerer! This little cutscene is part of why I've exclusively played sorcerer since I found out about it!

Indeed! 😆

what do you mean "stopped" - there's no quitting, you're not a loser to quit 😆😜

That's Orin's armor dyed black

Mods :) Basket full of equipment and Astarion's gear - I'm not certain I saw what Gale is wearing anywhere in game otherwise, Durge is wearing Orin's armor, Astarion is wearing some rogue/guard (may be variant of harpers clothing), Wyll is wearing Gortash's armor.

Aaww, thank you so much! No, i don't think i got any additional mods for that - only hair and outfits. The game does look better though in comparison to my old PC (had to upgrade few months ago since it died too often - couldn't handle Mr. Starry 🤣). Since then I also lost all files and saves from my first full completed run-through and decided to start uploading my favorite moments to youtube, so I can re-live them anytime without fear of losing it all again 🥲

must have changed since then? cause he's romanced and exceptional 96 approval :)

@@amistiel Yes. You can now only find the original in datamined files. Thank god for mods because the original is much better

@@mimi8808 hmm, what mod allows you to see that original? )) i'm still hesitant to use too many mods for fear of screwing up my many parallel game saves/runs with various Tavs/Durges..

@@amistiel Usually of you don't start a playthrough with mods they'll load just fine. If you remove mods mid playthrough that will conflict. You have the script extender and one that puts Astarion's other pre kiss lines and some others on Nexus. I think some people are even working on mods that restore scenes from other characters like Shadowheart

@@mimi8808 i'm going to try it out after larian connects official mod support in September :D something to look forward to in addition to everything else! i'm just happy with my cute gear and hair for now, later i'll explore all additional options, including cool extra classes etc :D i need to give Astarion wings afterall still 😆

Nice! Will be a while before I reach Wyll 😅 it's Starry first, then Gale, then probably may be possibly Wyll 😆

@@amistiel wasn’t even romancing him. he is just a sweet and caring guy

@@GandalfTheStacked mm, perhaps, but he usually never comments on anything for me 😅

i think (like 99%) it was "Silver's Hair Pack 2" i tried those popular long styles but they bug out so badly due to their length, so decided to stick with something easier for game to handle 😊

If you know, you know 😉 ehem, Astarions' Capri sun 🌻🌞

@@amistiel Hahah damn I thought he meant something else haha but Yeah you are probobly right there yes becauce he drinks tavs blood haha

@@JessicaJohnson-vp9mt well, he might imply more, since he mentions after thiefling party how "don't make me regret my restraint last night" or something along those lines, but I was playing Capri sun there as well, so... I'll never know 😂

@@amistiel how do you even get that response?! Where he says now lets go before I regret my restaint last night? I feel i am always missing something to get that response what dialogue do I need to pick to get that?

@@JessicaJohnson-vp9mt sure, here it is: Tav: Interesting scars. Where'd you get them? Astarion: It's a poem.... blabla Tav: Can I see? Astarion: You've seen enough already...and if I can't see it, you certainly cant. Tav: You've never seen it?? Astarion: Well, I can't just check in a mirror, can I? It doesn't matter anyway, whatever the bastard wrote, it won't change anything he did to me.. Now let's go, before I regret my restraint last night. 💓

Oh :( were you playing a non magic class? May be that could be a reason 🤔

Nope: played soucerer and mage and still no cut scene - where does it start?)

​@@hannadruk1445me too, never got this scene

@@aksenya2006 I came to believe that just might be from early access and was later deleted🥺

@@hannadruk1445 oh no, that's strange. usually when you approach the sussur flower. I went from myconid colony - towards that lost husband and instead of climbing down and going to save him - went to look at shiny sussur tree, when I approached there were some mobs triggering fight, but I waited until they looked the other way and went to pick up the flower. that's when it cut to this scene. hope it works! I had high (or very high) approval with astarion and romancing him, Tav's a sorcerer.

I think it's just called "Astarion's gear" ❤

in the Underdark - if you are playing as a sorcerer and approach Sussur Blooms - first time you do it will have this scene of you losing your magic 💙

@@amistiel that makes sense. Got a lot of characters but saving sorcerer for when we can mod wild magic and for my githyanki duthka'gith dragon sorcerer.

@@SlothinAintEasy sorcerer is my favorite class in any game, so without knowing anything else about this game that's the first one I made and then re-play them quite often 😅 they just have such main character energy and dialogue options 😆

apparently a sorcerer only can trigger it - also didn't know, since I only made one play-through till the end and it was sorcerer and now second reaching that location is also a sorcerer 😅

Sussur flower encounter as a sorcerer (underdark) 😊

Sussur flower, but apparently only if you are playing sorcerer 😻

"Ahahaha, it's... It's something" - how Astarion would put it 😉
