It's just a very small detail that happened in one of my last playthroughs. It was completely random but always makes me smile.

Thanks to whoever stood somewhere in the circus square and threw this gold coin, thank you. smile The hit couldn't have been better and hits exactly the right spot.

Astarion tries to play a romantic song for my Dark Urge... unfortunately he is completely unmusical... and tends to disturb the poor animals.

But he tries from the bottom of his heart and very passionately.

Thanks Larian for this detail. smile

How romantic wink
Even though the animals ran away, I think Dark Urge was touched. It's so nice to have the hug mod!

I wanted to share this funny moment that happened unexpectedly in one of my recorded sessions.
After the fight with Auntie Ethel, Mayrina automatically talks to Gale, I guess because he was standing closest to her.
You can see in the background in the top left, my Durge and Astarion who got knocked down. It looks like he's trying to grab Dark Urge's leg and get her attention, but she's oblivious (probably having one of her brain lapse moments). hahaha

I thought of a couple more things...
Minthara's comment when Gale dies:
"The wizard has fallen. Typical."

In the voice files I found some lines that I wasn't able to trigger in the game, but it seems like they should trigger during battle if your character is hurt or close to death:

Minthara can say, "Did I give you permission to die?" / "Are you even trying to survive?" / "We should have minions for such tasks." / "You're more feeble than a goblin.."

Astarion can say, "Darling, you're too pretty to die." / "Let's play doctor!" / "You look good all helpless." / "Let's keep you cute!" / "Your savior is here!" / "Don't worry, I'm here." / "Let's not waste any blood."

And from spam-clicking Astarion's portrait: "Strahd wouldn't put up with this sh*t." xD
Banter between Wyll and Astarion:
"I haven't even had a bath since the abduction! I must reek of Illithid slime."

At the circus, the djinni turning you into
a cheese, and then rolling around as a cheese. Also the comments that NPCs make as you roll by them, lol.

Some overzealous fan yelling during Dribbles fight "Dribbles! NO."

One more video:
I don't know if you've ever tried hugging Sceleritas with the hug mod, but I was surprised by how huge he looks! That was funny to me. I thought at first maybe he's just being scaled up to fit somehow through the mod. But when looking at his 3D model next to my Durge, it does look like he's more of a bigger figure that looks small because he's hunched over all the time.
This was also the first time I noticed him catching flies/bugs and eating them x_x

Some Dark Urge spoilers included:

I had to include Sceleritas chewing out Astarion too. xD

Oh my dear, someone should tell Sceleritas that he is allowed to eat. ^^

If you ask Sceleritas what is the worst thing you have ever done as a Dark Urge,
he will answer: "When you gave a beggar a coin without kicking or spitting on him." He wanted to puke afterwards and still has nightmares about it. smile

If you order him to do the dishes,
he will break glass and put it in the beds of your companions so that they have bloody dreams.

The little guy is totally attentive in his very special way. smile

If you are at the circus as a bard and complement Dribbles' jokes and you have Lae'zel in the group,
she disapproves your jokes. I think Wyll is the only one who likes Dribbles and his jokes. smile But as a Dark Urge, Dribbles and his jokes make you want to slaughter everyone.

As a bard, you can also tell a joke to the gnolls in the cave near Waukeen's Rest, they will laugh for 2 rounds and then attack you.

Lmao! He really is a special one and he does his tasks very creatively. :p I can see him doing lots of "special" things like this to AA when he becomes our palace butler. wink hahaha

Not a funny moment, but I just remembered
how upset he becomes if Durge loses the duel to Orin. cry No one else had such a heartbreaking reaction like Sceleritas and I love him for that.
;_;

Aww... maybe there was always some good within Durge all along. :3 Sceleritas prob doesn't want to believe that, though. lol

I should try to put together those voice lines (reactions to main character hurt in battle) into a video because they're great. The text doesn't do them justice.

Edit -
Sceleritas also said to my Durge "You should have trained harder, master," before the Orin duel and that made me giggle. And it was true because she kicked my butt a few times.

This line Sceleritas says if you don't have the Slayer. If you have the Slayer he says something like "You are perfectly prepared, master".

This would be very nice. smile

I also love the reactions of your companions when you die in battle as a Dark Urge and you have a little approval from them. Astarion comments on your death with "Oh no, not my sweet bloodthirsty friend", for example if Astarion dies, your Dark Urge comments on it with "Not Astarion!". They both then have a whiny, slightly angry voice. This also seems to be Dark Urge only and seems only happens at the beginning of the game. All companions with a little approval then react.

Yes, Sceleritas then disappeared for days and you find him rolled up in a carpet in Cazador's coffin. Astarion will then tell you that Sceleritas must have had an accident while cleaning the carpets.What a tragedy, we always hear about such terrible accidents. laugh

If you save Liam in Goblincamp, but sell his sleeping bag ... 1Gold is 1Gold. The poor man, there is no rest for him. ^^


The Dark Urge and Alfira actually have a rather tragic Story together. So the following may not be particularly funny, but it touched me.(Switching my game to English...makes it easier. :))
As a redeemed Dark Urge, I didn't kill Alfira and in the epilogue I received a letter from her...

@Sini - I made a video for you with the voice lines!hug
Most of the voice lines seem to be referring to the player character being hurt or needing help in battle. The ones I put together are some I found from Astarion, Minthara, Gale, Jaheira, and Minsc.
Here is the vid:

My thoughts on the vid:
My favorites from Astarion are "I forbid you from dying!" "Let's play doctor!" "Naughty, naughty." "Let's not waste any blood." "Maybe they like being restrained?" hahaha
Also the: "You useless little...!" He could be saying that to Sceleritas. grin
I was surprised by how loving and soft Minthara can actually be! I thought it was really sweet.
Minsc had some funny lines too.^^ I will hate not having Minsc and Boo in my evil run...

ROFL. That's perfect! xD He may have to get used to a lifetime of spending days locked in the palace attic, or getting buried in the garden.^^;

Awww... I will need to try saving her next time, even though that will probably be an evil playthrough.

I liked Astarion's comment when Dark Urge dies, but I feel like it no longer fits once you're in a committed relationship with him. smirk It should then be something like, "No! My sweet consort!" :p

Thank you, you are such a sweetheart. hug
I think I must be dying more often or needing more help, unfortunately I've never heard most of the texts.cry

"Astarion, I ripped off a fingernail."
"Hold on darling, your savior is coming."

THAT would be a real emergency and rescue mission for Astarion. grin

As Dark Urge, Minthara is your biggest cheerleader, from whom you will always receive encouragement and warm words... as long as you are evil & powerful enough. On the other hand, we have Astarion with "Precious little Bhaal-babe" and "My sweet, conflicted villain. " ...Ok, Astarion won. ; )

"Darling, I planted you a new blood-red rose bush."
"I love it, thank you my dear *kiss* ... but have you seen Sceleritas? I call for him but he just doesn't come."
"Don't worry darling, he's probarly buried in his work. He's definitely nearby ... I'm really sure of it."

I'd have to die to check if he's still saying that so late. smile At this moment Astarion's eyes glow blood red and he becomes a tiny bat grin ... falls into a bloodlust.

If you are a ranger and talk to Elegis in the grove & Astarion reacts. smile

Neither did I! ;_; I had to find them in the game's voice files (never heard them in game). Those files are all mixed in with a lot of different battle sounds, so it's hard to pick them out from everything else. I wonder if it's not possible to actually trigger them during the game. That would be such a waste! We're all missing out on those hidden treasures!

I would give you +10000 upvotes for this if I could. grin I think you are the real AA romance writer that Larian needed!! <3
Breaking a nail is for sure an emergency for AA. xD

I was obsessed with the "precious little Bhaal-babe" when I first heard it! That's why I ship them so much.
Some of my other favorite quotes from him are when my Durge rejects Bhaal and you talk to him after:
Astarion: "I knew you had that sweet heart all along. I was alarmed by you sometimes, scandalized even. But somehow, by your side, I still only ever saw you."
Dark Urge: "I'm free now to do whatever I wish with my life. I want all my life to be with you."
Astarion: "I want you by my side as well. Now that you're free, we can craft a new future together. *satisfied laugh*"
^^

Ahhh, I could die happy seeing AA go absolutely savage on anyone who dares put a scratch on his precious consort's face. grin
Maybe he's not able to control it -- he's so blind with rage that he automatically transforms into the angriest, wild, vengeful little 1HP bat xD

Astarion's so relatable. Especially if you're on your 3rd playthrough and in a hurry and you don't want to deal with those goblins again.^^

Like Astarion would say, "I'm flattered." Astarion has my sense of humor, I'm not sure if that should scare me.^^

It's damn cute, but my Durge's left eye twitches nervously for this moment. smile It's so unexpected and you're speechless for a few moments.
^^

He thinks goblins are scum. I always poison the beer in the goblin camp with Astarion. I distract them as a bard and he has fun poisoning their beer. If you are untrained in music *cough...Astarion...cough* the goblins will throw stones at you. ; ) But it also works without a bard, but it's especially fun as a bard.

Not strictly BG3, but it sums up the dynamic between a sorcerer Tav and Gale pretty well - and even throws in the 'nice lady from the swamp' (and gets us maybe away from making this thread another AA discussion? *hinthint* wink )

Lol! yeah, it kind of took me aback. That's what makes his genuine affectionate moments special. It is sad to me how many people try to twist him into something that he's not.

Oh man, I need to try this. grin So many creative ways to be evil that I've missed.

-The sounds that Gale makes when he gets hit in battle (sorry, Gale). His voice actor was a perfect choice.

-Whenever someone falls prone on ice/slippery surfaces. biggrin Especially when they were just getting ready to do some badass spell or move.

-Hearing Raphael
singing his song DURING his boss battle at House of Hope! That's a moment I'll never forget. I don't think I've ever had a reaction like that during a game!

Shadowheart had an unfortunate accident in one of Lualitys playthroughs and had to get through her conversation with Viconia ... a bit different than normal.

Adorable! <3 The fluffies seem to like it after all, I think they enjoy running around! smile I'll definitely suggest Astarion to learn to play musical instruments from Alfira in the next playthrough!

I agree, this is probably the best fight in the game because of his song! I've fought him three times just for fun. That music makes for an awesome experience during the fight. My two favorite songs in the game are "I want to live" (which I associate exclusively with Astarion) and Raphael's song.

My first playthrough was in multiplayer with a friend... and I will laugh every time I see the red boots light up. In my game it is always Shadowheart who lies down. But I'm very easy to cheer up. smile

I also heard it for the first time in multiplayer. My friend said "Do you hear that? The song? What's happening?" We could only continue fighting after we finished listening to the song.

When I play with him, I've had 3 runs together so far, and then everything always gets blown up. He's always as happy as a little boy when he can blow up the goblin camp. The world is then a burning hell. Baldur's Gate experiences Armageddon from the fireworks shop. laugh Total barrelmancy. We always have a lot of fun in Discord while testing out the worst things.

It's so wonderful what you can do in the game, no matter how absurd it sometimes is. smile

Yah! I think I was just sitting there stunned for a moment lol. I heard the woman singing and I was a bit confused... then came his voice. xD Bravo, Borislav Slavov, Andrew Wincott, everyone who made it possible and brought it to life! I'd love to relive that moment of hearing it for the first time.

There's a lady at the Elfsong who even says he's "too young" to be an archduke. Umm...
Maybe they all have a "younger Gortash" mod installed? (Not hating on Gortash! Just funny to me for some reason whenever people in the game talk about him like this.)

Make every bad decision. smile I always play in honor mode and I just do stupid things. What is supposed to happen? Then we just die, I make a new game and we get better, I'll definitely make that stupid decision again, but this time I'm prepared. smile However, I have never died because of nonsense in the game, but because I underestimated situations. smile

THIS decision could have cost me my Honor Mode if my companions had jumped in after me. I have to say, that the day before I laughed at said friend in multiplayer because his fire elementals ignited something, at this exact point in the game. ^^ That must have been karma ... laugh

That's EXACTLY what I always think and then I think about his fashion sense... ugh... no. smile
