Status Updates From Baldur's Gate 3: Astarion

It’s… less than I expected. I love Astarion’s character very deeply and I was very excited to see his “official” backstory but I’m disappointed so far.

Why is every woman in this story (Baija, Aurelia, Dalyria, even the random half-elf prostitute) feeling like the same person with an "older sister" energy? And why is the narrative going out of its way to remind us that Astarion sleeps with men, but avoids any mentions of him sleeping with women?

Once again, the curse of being up for work tomorrow means I can’t finish this tonight 😔

I like the voice, it's chatty, but stops just short of being rambly, it's funny, but not tryhard funny.

Really enjoying this one 🥹

I was really hoping she'd do one particular D&D trope and she did 🫡

I just love Astarion so bloody much 😭😭

as someone currently playing a rogue with the skulker feat, HARD DISAGREE

The most depressing thing about all this is that Astarion doesn't get a happy ending with his beau but instead has to settle with me in the video game.
