Hot Take: Astarion does NOT hate flowers. You just missed a few subtle hints through Act 1 and early Act 3.

Astarion's negativity is directed toward just about anything remotely pleasant as you move through early act three, starting the moment you leave Wyrm's Rock. First thing after Gortash's coronation he marvels near tears at the colors of the city in daylight. If you ask if he's alright, it pisses him off.

There's other instances I can't quite remember but he's a straight crank throughout early Act 3 and it took me several hours of gameplay to have a lightbulb moment about his newly crappier attitude.

He just spent the last two hundred years seeing everything in the overwhelmingly warm dim tones of indoor lighting via sconces, rushlights, and braziers, or the dingy blue gray of moonlight outside. Daylight colors are something he had more than a lifetime to forget and now that he has a chance to remember that vibrancy in his own home town, he knows he's going to have to forget it all over again either by death or by remaining a vampire spawn forever. The worm isn't going to live rent free in his head forever, and killing Cazador to ascend in his place likely feels like an insurmountable and impossible fight against a literal titan who could stomp him flat without a corm of effort.

He doesn't hate flowers, he hates EVERYTHING right now because it's all going away very soon and if he convinces himself he hates everything then he won't miss it when it's all gone again. He was denied this for two hundred years and he's PISSED at what was stolen from him and PISSED it's all going away again.

He behaved similarly in Act 1 about anyone besides him enjoying physical intimacy. Some of this content was cut, to my best knowledge, but the overwhelming majority of his dialog addressing the PC romancing anyone but him are negative or backhanded. This is for two reasons, I think. A: his Simple Plan just dissolved right before his eyes when you chose someone else which in his mind means he has zero safety net, and EVERYONE gets to enjoy sex (key wording being ENJOY, not simply having) except him... And it pisses him off.

He also gleefully interrupts the bug bear and the ogress, I think for the same reason as the above paragraph, being: If he doesn't get to enjoy intimacy neither do they.

He reacts with anger and disgust at anything he's being unfairly denied. Which... That's fair. His feelings are valid, but his reaction to it is pretty shitty and meanspirited.

The other companions I tend to keep in my party, (that is Lae'zel, Halsin, Karlach, and Wyll) however, are actually appearing to behave pretty patiently with him in Act 3 which I find interesting.

In the instance with the flowers Karlach doesn't bother trying to convince him otherwise of his opinion, she just tells him how they make her feel instead and rather than getting snippy or doubling down he more or less agrees to disagree. I also don't recall anyone disagreeing with Astarion during Gale's last quest tasks when he mentioned that he quit praying to gods who wouldn't hear him a long time ago but to be fair, I think the gods did everybody in this crew dirty and they all know it. It seems like they're consciously giving him the space to be mad about things, is what I'm saying.

Everyone I know including myself who crawled out of a long-term hot garbage situation kinda went wild for a bit with freedom, spoke poorly, behaved strangely, had extreme emotional reactions to things, and made some particularly terrible choices. I think that's just a part of recalibrating yourself, healing and learning how to be okay again.

Point is, I wouldn't conflate too many of the turbo-negative things he says with how he actually feels about anything. We certainly know what he says and what he feels are two very different things.

Cazador: You belong to me, boy!

Astarion: No

Astarion: Not anymore

Astarion: Not since bofa

Cazador: Bofa?

*Astarion, cracking a smile, snickering, ready to go in for the kill*

In my opinion, It’s really fucked up that people ship Astarion with Cazador.

I don’t care if people think “well Cazador is just as wounded as Astarion is” - that doesn’t make what Cazador did to those spawn okay. He tortured Astarion and the other 6 ‘house spawn’. He starved them, he gaslit them, he went as far as making them torture each other and even themselves to satisfy some sick pleasure he got out of it. He used Leon’s daughter as leverage so Leon would obey. Who’s to say he didn’t also torture the 1000’s of other spawn that were brought to him.

There is no redemption for Cazador, and for people to ship Astarion with his abuser is just sick.

I want to lick and nibble on Cazador's ears and those pretty silver studs of his. Elven ears are super sensitive as a bonus so I just know he'd be whimpering and trying not to moan.

How Much Time Passes In Baldur's Gate 3?

This might sound like a stupid thing to ask, but does anyone have any idea on how much time the events of Baldur's Gate 3 take between the nautiloid crash, and the Nether Brain being defeated? Like with most games I play it nevers says, and this bugs me for some reason.

In Act One, there's a Tiefling you can talk to atop the gate of Emerald Grove who says that if the road was clear, the trip from there to Baldur's Gate would be a tendays march. Let's assume that the same would be true for the party. But the road isn't clear thanks to the Goblins, and they don't go straight to the gate. The party has to go through The Shadow Cursed Lands and deal with all the nonsense there, which increases their journey time.

Let's also assume that the party go's through all the events that can happen during a long rest - excluding the Alfira/Quill incident, let's say The Dark Urge isn't part of the group - and visits the Githyanki Creche in search of a cure, plus freeing the Gnome slaves in The Underdark and dealing with Wulbren and The Ironhand Gnomes. That would all add to the total adventure time.

There's also fighting Cazador, dealing with Vicona for Shadowheart, and Gale's situation with Mystra and The Orb.

So at the end of the day, how long would it take for the characters to defeat the Nether Brain?

I'm doing a BG3 playthrough normal mode with only my durge and astarion and i'm going to kill cazador in a way that is so looney tunes as in: i'm gonna attract him far away from the spawn circle and i'm gonna put several alchemist's fire on the stairs to the kids/sebastian's room, and at the alchemist fire line's end (halfway thru the stairway) i'm just gonna put one ironhand gnome bomb, make sure my tav and astarion are faaaaaaaar away from the blast area and light it up. Now i want astarion to ascend so cross fingers for me that none of the spawn actually die cause otherwise this would've been all for nothing

If Cazador ever commented on Astarions companions (instead of just ignoring them which ultimately leads to his downfall) he'd be pretty flabbergasted to see the durge he definitly has heard of innit
