Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Astarion made a...tactically sus decision

Astarion joins Marcus in the tactical genius category.

Mostly I just leave him in camp, though I've taken him all the way through his end game.


Anyway, I kept rolling fails when he assaulted me, getting more and more irritated with his smug, so I did something I never did before. I attacked! Deep enough into the convo, even that was denied me, so I attacked as he walked away after not joining my party (which was fine) but turning your back on me after all that? Please. There are dead people all over this wreck. One more won't be noticed!


I attack, and whiff. He responds by throwing a grease down. It catches all three of us, but he's the only one who slips.





Even a gnome has the high ground on a guy on his ass.

Kagha joins the poor tactician ranks as well. Interior fight in the Grove, she moonbeams herself twice, both time immediately cancelling her concentration.

Tav-nee-Lae'Zel was on her, as was Silver. Poor SIlver, all she did was kill her pet dog.

Yeah, Kagha has awful AI.

Loves to Moonbeam herself and her allies.

Also, when the fight is over, if you've persuaded her against the Shadow Druids, if she has a Moonbeam still active (If by some miracle she didn't hit herself with it or run into it afterwards) the rest of the Druids like to walk through it and get fried.

Heck, I had one run where Kagha was the only Druid left standing as she'd fried all the others, even then, she was close to death from self-frying...

I've also had Wyll get stuck in a death loop... Where he survived on low HP, then after the fight ended he ran into the Moonbeam and got downed... So I quickly healed him before he died and then he got downed again... And again and again and again... (So I decided screw it. Let him die and go get the free Withers revive)
