Too bad for Orin... All it does is make our motivation surge through the roof, make us twice as efficient and determined to win. :p

That would be great! I don't have any experience tinkering with mods, but I hope maybe someone could figure it out. Yes, I was just thinking today how much Astarion's quotes and comments can cheer me up when I'm having a bad day. I'd love to carry his little bat form around.^^ He'd always have a supportive and/or snarky response if someone is messing with you or if you're feeling down. Voila, instant and super powerful pick-me-up.

The question is what age is considered acceptable to be archduke... And how old is the lady herself. There is an unusual combination in Gortash's appearance in the way he dresses richly, pretentiously, deliberately luxuriously, and at the same time his hair and face look more like a gangster's or a ragamuffin from the street (no offense to Gortash's fans, it's just my perception, perhaps it is, on the contrary, his "thing" and he looks like that on purpose).
This is true, it's possible he's younger than he looks and sounds like to me. He did have a hard time in his younger years. I believe the lady at the Elfsong who made that comment about him being too young was a gnome and looked pretty young, but if I recall, they live longer than humans? Then it could make sense from her perspective. When I look at Gortash's picture on the posters that are hung up around the town, he looks pretty good on those imo. If he's meant to look like that, I could understand why the narrator is always gushing about his looks, lol. I thought he looks really interesting in the digital art book as well (or the concept art).

-This reminds me of something else I found funny: If you melee attack Gortash outside of battle, before the final fight,

and then apologize with: "Sorry, my hand slipped," He will kick your leg and say, "What a coincidence! So did my foot."
I think this may only happen if you team up with him and take him with you before the Netherbrain fight. I would never have found this little detail on my own! It's so funny the little things that the devs thought about.
