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

Oh, my God! Ha ha! I honestly get the feeling he's trying to exercise and doing one arm push-ups.
Minthara's comment when Gale dies:
"The wizard has fallen. Typical."
Wow, when I was playing DnD with my friends, we had a paladin say that about our wizard.
And from spam-clicking Astarion's portrait: "Strahd wouldn't put up with this sh*t." xD
Wow! Damn, I was playing too seriously, never did spam clicks... Now Astarion can't avoid it.
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.
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.
Hehehe, good... I guess I shouldn't burden him with homework...
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.
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.
A joke to the gnolls? Awesome! I also really like Astarion's reaction to Dribbles and his "applause".
@Sini - I made a video for you with the voice lines!
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:
Oh, I recorded Astarion's lines to my smartphone to listen to on headphones sometimes. <3 Thanks!
If you are a ranger and talk to Elegis in the grove & Astarion reacts.
Oh, I love his indignations (and there's always common sense in them)!
I also remembered Astarion voicing his displeasure in Baldur's sewers, for the reason that you dragged him there - that's adorable too.
"Astarion, I ripped off a fingernail."
"Hold on darling, your savior is coming."
THAT would be a real emergency and rescue mission for Astarion.
"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 would give you +10000 upvotes for this if I could.
I think you are the real AA romance writer that Larian needed!! <3
Breaking a nail is for sure an emergency for AA. xD
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. ; )
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*"
^^
Yeah, it looks like Dark Urge and Astarion are just made for each other. After all this, I'm definitely not playing regular Tav anymore.
Lets talk Lae'zel & Astarion to Bex & Danis ... They have their own... special point of view.
Super, I need to talk companions to the NPS more often, they have so many interesting lines of their own!
-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!
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.
