#died enough times to run through most of astarion’s confrontation dialogue though

[cicadaknight]

i so desperately wanted to beat cazador up with my bard’s lute but karlach slam dunked him into the void mid-evil monologue 👉👈

#bg3 spoilers #as combat goes it wasn’t the worst fight #but it was 2am i left gale and his fireballs at camp and shadowheart kept pooping her armor about the wolves #desperate times call for cheesin measures #sorry cazador if you’re gonna hide at the edge to avoid my daylight spells #i simply can’t miss such a comedic opportunity #i will say i did that on the second attempt and reloded because i thought losing his corpse might fuck up the end choice #but it did not #and then i tried to fight for real for another hour or two and couldn’t get further than killing a couple bats #bg3 #cazador fight #astarion #astarion spoilers #died enough times to run through most of astarion’s confrontation dialogue though #holy shit #if you say anything cazador makes fun of him for needing someone to speak for him #and from then til the start of the fight he’s so hurt and scared #like cazador is calling him a weak stupid little boy and completely rips through any confidence he had #tr-tr-tr-trauma response #an awful glimpse at how powerless astarion truly felt #we all joke about astarion being a sad little wet cat but the UNSPEAKABLE trauma he endured and inflicted unwillingly for CENTURIES #but if you say nothing he delivers one of the best ‘fuck you’ lines ever #and jesus christ the ending #obviously i chose the good one #but it hurt so bad anyway
