I'm talking about Larian posting this image in their update:

[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]
Astarion wearing Orin's outfit. Are we not going to comment on it? No one is going to take the bait?

Initial thought: Slay Queen, Slay. (They even said "SHANTAY YOU STAY." Look, if your man is going to dress in drag and steal your clothes, ya might as well be supportive. #relationshipgoals)
The second thought I had was, Gods, he's coming home with a yeast infection and 5 kinds of venereal diseases. Didn't disinfect it or anything, just yoinked it off Orin and put it right on *facepalms*.
Feel free to post screenshots of your favorite Astarion outfits.

He slays in multiple ways now, huh? LOL. I like to make him a bard and put him in a black and furnace red dyed version of Volo’s reward bard outfit. Looks fetching on him! And much less likely to catch a plethora of diseases.

What's on your hind? I mean mind? I like the whole Drow set on him (wait... I probably shouldn't rob Minthara of her armour, if I intend to later recruit her, should I?) and as soon as we are in the city, he may try on as many costume-outfits as he pleases.

I know, I'm sorry, not sorry it's irrevocably burned into your corneas.

I haven't seen the reward bard outfit. Do you have a screenshot?

LOL. Slayers gonna slay :p I just felt like they could have picked ANY character to model the Orin outfit, they just *had* to choose Astarion. LOL. Talk about knowing your player base 8'D I can almost imagine him going "I look DIVIIIINE." *pose* I kept thinking about when I did the Dark Urge

During the graveyard scene with romanced Astarion. If you're Dark Urge, you have the option to say "Hot," but if you say it, he immediately goes "You couldn't wait 10 seconds before being an absolute freak could you."
In my head I'm always like, "I chose you didn't I?"
Mostly I just can't resist sassy dialogue options 8'D
And then he wears Orin's outfit? Totally Canon now if Larian posts it :p Kettle. Pot. Black.

Another thing they've done:

It's like they're trolling themselves, and us at the same time. And it's HILARIOUS. laugh Necks! Ribs! And thighs! I swear it sounds like he's describing a bucket of fried chicken 8'D

I beat up Raphael the other night. I have him wearing Helldusk armor. I also didn't disinfect it for him, but I feel like Raphael looks a bit classier than Orin. I suppose it's using demon skin instead of human skin. 8)

So I've never posted a screenshot before, so let me see if this works:

Edit: It did. It's a little hokey but I think it looks pretty good. And a broader view:

(Sorry for the photo quality, not sure how to edit screenshots yet.)

Aww! He looks like a sexy ladybug in yours! *grins* I think it's the speckles. So cute. My casual wear is pretty boring. I just did Chocolatier in red furnace.

I'm currently working on his armor. Here's a screenshot of him in my current playthrough:

I'm not done with the Helldusk armor set yet. I need to kill Gortash for his Helldusk boots and need to help the Gondians for their bow. I went to kill Raphael first because I wanted to wear his armor xD

They need to make and sell a figurine like this. It would be a smashing hit!

That's my favourite Astarion Outfit.

They mentioned working on additional BG3 merchandise. Probably like shirts and things, but they have this really funny mug:

I definitely agree, if they had made collectors edition with some of the origin characters, I would want that more than the Mindflayer, although I understand Mindflayer is more iconic.

@Zayir Your astarion outfit is gorgeous. Is this modded? Or is there a vendor that sells this or an NPC that drops this armor/outfit?

Thank you! Yes, it's a mod. So unfortunately it cannot be found...
