I will first of all say this, Baldur's Gate 3 is the best game I've ever played. Full stop. Already back in EA I had no doubt that this game were to precede Witcher 3 from my dusty number 1 pedestal, once fully released. You could just see it. The passion and love Larian had - and continues to have - for BG3 is unmistakable. Larian has done an absolutely stunning job and I couldn't be more happy with them and their work. They deserve every bit of praise they're reciving and more.
With that being said...
I too would prefer if Larian altered that dock scene... Dare I say that it felt rather prompt and handled somewhat poorly? Not to mention the unsavoury lack of care to our Astarion. As many has mentioned here, it's fitting if you've had the poor sod lounging about in camp your whole playthrough but not otherwise - and absolutely not if you've romanced him. Thankfully, we will be getting a more fleshed out epilog, we don't know when, but it is coming and I'm thankful for that.
Wouldn't it then be oh-so-fabulous to have a *very particular* cloak at hand for him? What i'm referring to is The Cloak of Dragomir.
https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Cloak_of_Dragomir A cloak that allows a vampire to travel outside during the day in full view of the sun. An item we could potentially run into in some way or another. Cazador's attic, perhaps? Food for thought.
Now, I'm also one of those that wished for the cure option in Astarion's arc... So if ever Larian bestows upon us a DLC - gods be willing - the cure is what I dearly wish to see implemented and on offer for our silly little vamp. Preferably connected to Upper City content ( Pretty please, Larian ).
This is so perfectly expressed. All my thoughts, which I have already expressed here several times, but well.... lets keep doing it again and again.... because the more we talk about the issues, the higher possibility someone at Larian will see it and do something about it. So yes... Larian... THAT AWFUL DOCK SCENE... I think it is not necesary repeat all the details, we all know, what is wrong with that.
Even with the Witcher 3 mentioned.... that game was top and I would also personally add Dragon age series, especially DA: Origins. These - now with BG 3 - are the best games I have ever played.
Eventhough there is so much 'not-so-great' stuff and feeling of something missing in act III, yes... still... BG3 is really exceptional piece of art.
It would be so nice to have cure for Astarion. My romantic soul would really love that, but as some people suggested few times: why talk about the cure, when Astarion never specificaly expressed desire to be cured from vampirism, just (beside wanting to be free of slavery) the longing to be able to walk in the sun.
So yes for the cure, but if nobody will give us that, in the end I would be very much satisfied with The Cloak of Dragomir. That is such an obvious and easy solution to the sun problem. So really, Larian, there are so many cloaks in the games, would it be so hard to put there one more and give our poor vampire possibility to walk in the sun? Pretty please.
