Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Act 3: Let PC bite Araj Oblodra for +2 str potion

What’s the deal Larian? Is my vampire spawn DUrge not good enough for the Drow blood chemist? Is that it? She’s still out here offering in Act 3, so where’s the hang up? Is it the tentacles? Must be the tentacles.

Tl;dr: We should probably have an option in Act 3 to bite the Drow ourselves for the strength potion if we’ve been turned into a vampire spawn.

Ehm... right... how to say it? You aren't a vampire spawn, she wants to be bitten by a vampire, your Durge might be murderous, bot they aren't a vampire.
If you use a mod for that, it is still not canon.

What Fylimar said. There is a concept of choice and consequence. Either let the Astarion do the deed or not. You want to have your cake and eat it too. Even as a DM, I would reject the idea as unless you are vampire/Dhampir, etc. It doesn’t count.

My DUrge is a vampire spawn though. No mods involved.



They are!

Oh, ok. I thought, that would happen at the end of the game

Oh that thing. No offence, that’s just sequence breaking I am afraid. The deal is in Act 2, you see her again in Act 3, but that’s not something the devs should include or plan for or make it make sense.

Case in point, you know Revivify? The thing that should help save us NPCs lives? Maybe change the outcomes? It doesn't work this way. Even, if we assume you get turned into Vampire Spawn by Astarion, it happens too late in the game to have any effect. The opportinity has passed.

There are certain limitations and while I can see your point, it's a fringe case at the very best. Just not something that was planned for and I think it should simply be available during Act 2. After that, she could have found another vampire spawn or something.

Look, this is a very low priority, DE type suggestion on something funny that stood out to me, so don’t take it too seriously.

That being said, when you run into her in Baldur’s Gate for the first time, the first thing she says is, “Hey, it’s you and that vampire spawn! The offer still stands if he’s changed his mind!”, which Astarion obviously rejects. He even responds differently depending on whether or not he’s ascended, so they clearly took his quest into account. That’s why I’m genuinely surprised there wasn’t an option to bite her yourself if that’s what she’s so hell bent on. I’d even have taken an “ew no, I want him”, but acknowledge me damnit!
