I love Gale, he's great. But I get approval for him so easily that I'm having to turn him down gently every playthrough, and he just gives the vibes of the best friend, that got "friend zoned" and is trying so hard to be okay with it, but will never really be over it, but is dealing with it cause he just wants you happy. Bro is down so bad even my oblivious greyromantic ass can tell.

#and other then Laz'el who literally says shes gonna lick your sweat #he is the one accidently flirting and dropping that he's crushing most #Its amusing jdididifd #One day i need to put him out of his misery and romance him but that day is not today lmao #oh no axe is talking #bg3 #gale dekarios #bg3 gale

I can't stop thinking of knitting Astarion a blanket.

Maybe it's because I'm elbow deep into crocheting baby clothes but who knows

Like, imagine knitting or crocheting Astarion a blanket. Because everyone else managed to bring something along for the journey when the mindflayers kidnapped you, you had a backpack and some coin, same for Laz'el, and Shadowheart and Gale and probably everyone else, but not Astareon.

He has nothing, not a coin to his name. Just a dagger, a bow, and a few arrows. He steals what he needs to make his tent but he's all too aware that none of it is really his.

And then he sees you working on your project by the fire, sipping on a mug of steaming tea or coffee. He sees you wandering around villages and random groups of people, bartering your way to some yarn.

Of course he's curious. But he'd never ask, because, obviously, it would never be any of his business. It could never be for him. And then, after working on it at any moment you could, you come to him one night with the blanket neatly folded in your hands.

"I don't know if you get cold," you say, "But I thought you might want a blanket if you do."

You're so awkward, you know Astarion likes the finer things in life. He likes luxury, and this is hardly luxury. It's a dark blue, but only because you died it. The yarn you bartered never came in the same colour and sometimes it wasn't even the same thickness. You tried to match it as best you could, but it wasn't perfect.

Astarion notices it and for the first time in his very long, miserable life. He doesn't give a shit. Because it's his. Completely, 100%, his own thing. Cazador has never touched this, he has never seen this, he will never lay a finger on his blanket. And the fact that it's his is only overshadowed by the fact that you made it for him. Not because he likes you, he's not even realised that yet, or not properly anyway, but because you looked at him, fangs, sarcasm, blood thirst and all, and decided you were going to take a tenday and make a blanket to gift to him. You decided he was worthy of yarn, time and effort. All so he could be a little warmer at night.

That blanket might not be worth much, if anything, but when you're as used as Asterion is to being worth less than shite, it's like happening upon a vault of precious diamonds.

He doesn't say thank you, he just grabs it from you and tries to act nonchalant. Because if he opens his mouth, he might actually just start crying.

Baldur's Gate 3, via Osmosis

So I think I played the first Baldur's Gate game for like an hour at a friend's house back in college, and all I remember about it was how delighted I was by the miniature giant hamster. I didn't even know there was a second game until I started hearing people get excited about the third one. That's about the sum of my knowledge of this franchise.

So without more ado, here's what my tumblr dash has taught me about these blorbos (I got @malaloba to huck the screenshots at me, so I didn't spoil myself on the names)

I want to say this one is Shadowheart, but that's too on the nose. She's probably .... Mythrin... Mithras... Mithotyn... Nope, I haven't got it.

She looks grouchy, and like she has a very good reason to be grouchy, and I would assume she's a combat class from her armour, but that's all I've got.

Gale (or Halsin) I know this one! He's the one who turns into a bear in The Cutscene that broke the internet for a few days. That means he'd be a Druid, right? I think he cross classes or something, though.

I hope the furries are having a great time drawing him as an anthro bear with a very large weenie.

Astarion! This vampire twink was all over my dash long before the game was released. Apparently he has a tragic backstory and is a jerk about it in a way that is either annoying or endearing, depending on the player's opinion of vampire twinks. His main role in the game, however, seems to be comically failing to pick locks. This means he's a Thief. Apparently the thing with the bear just had Astarion as the player character, and he isn't canonically dating the bear guy. Oh well.

Halsin (or Gale) The Other One who is Not a Bear. I would have said Bard for his class, but he's glowing a bit much for that here, so maybe a caster? I feel like he's more popular in areas of Tumblr that don't cross my dash.

Karlach or Karlak or something (not Karkat, that's a Homestuck thing).

Lesbians love her! She is large and angry and apparently really easy to romance just by approving of her chopping things with her axe. I think she was a child soldier? I see a lot of jokes about her crappy ex. I think her ex is actually her god and not her ex, though. Anyway, she seems like a prototypical Barbarian, good for her.

EDIT: I just remembered that she has PLAGUE, and is on a quest to Stop Having Plague. This is apparently her ex's fault

Laz'el. Lae'zel. La'zael. Something along those lines. I've seen treatises on her backstory and characterization, and she sounds like a really interesting character. Grew up in a cult of some kind, got dead or something, got abandoned by a crappy god (who might have also gotten dead or something), and is now wandering around trying to figure out how to exist in a world that isn't a cult. Apparently Other Players don't like her and dont't get what's up with her, which is a sore point for her fans (It's very possible that I'm mixing up portions of her backstory and fan reception with Karlach's) Her nose weirds me out (some uncanny valley thing between a skeleton lack-of-nose and a nose-nose), but I think she's pretty neat.

Ok, so if the blue lady at the top of this post isn't Shadowheart, then this one is Shadowheart. When I first saw the name Shadowheart, I thought it was someone's OC, and then I thought it was a generic name for the player character. From what I can gather, she's Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way with the stupid scraped off. She seems to be younger than most the other characters; she and the red tiefling are the kiddos of the group (Astarion doesn't count, because vampire). I think she grew up all sheltered in a weird little cult, too. Did ALL these characters grow up in weird cults? Is that a theme? Did I hear one backstory and apply it to a dozen different characters?

I happen to know for sure that this guy's name is Wyll. Good for me.

I don't know beans about him but I suspect he might be my favourite character when I do finally get around to playing, just from how his peronality is conveyed in fanart.

I get the impression he's the Only Sane Man to all these characters who grew up in cults and divorced dead gods and got vampire'd and whatnot, but he also has horns in like half the fanart and screenshots and is clearly Haunted (metaphorically, figuratively, literally, probably all of the above), so who knows.

As for the second figure here, I know the premise of the game is you've all got brainworms, who are in leage with a mindflayer con man who you can bone but who is also running some sleezy marketing scam, so maybe that's the brainworm made manifest?

I also see a lot of talk about character called Dark Urge, and the fan art doesn't look like that, but if Dark Urge is a manifested brainworm, then it could take various forms.

#Baldur's Gate 3 #BG3 #I would tag the characters but the whole point of this post is that I don't know most their names #so oh well

I just had a glitch i think(?) where Laz'el ended up stood in front of Astarions tent as if it was her own, and when i clicked on her -hoping the dialogue would reset her script and she'd go back to her tent- i triggered her 'hey do you want to have sex tonight' dialogue??? And I'm romancing Astarion this playthrough (again) and already have the flirting dialogue greetings so the entire scene just reads as:

Laz'el: I want to fuck durge...

Astarion: Really now? And you're telling *Me??*

Durge: Hey guys what's up, why're you over here Laz'el-

Laz'el: You're not as stupid as I thought you were and your propensity for graphic violence makes me turned on lets have sex later.

Durge:... You're... coming onto me? In front of the vampire the whole camp is well aware im shagging??

Laz'el: Yes??

7. Typical party lineup?

Shadowheart for the healer. Gale (🖤) for the explosions. And either Karlach or Laz'el as the tank. No hate for the rest of the companions of course, it's just thats his perfect set up and he's sticking with it.

11. What are their best skills? arcana, history, sleight-of-hand etc?

Man's charisma is otherworldly. Persuasion, Performance and Deception are his strongest skills. He's high in Stealth and Slight of Hand as well.

20. Does your Tav have a best friend in the party? What's their dynamic like?

Withers, ha. Levi was drawn to Shadowheart from the moment he found her on the beach. Something about her spoke of darkness, even before her Shar worship was revealed. He liked her commitment, her strength. With their dynamic you'd think they're long-lost siblings.

Help

I need help,

In bg3, act 2, I had the decision to either continue with the shadowlands, or go to the creche. I decided to entertain lazels insisting about the damn thing, stopping momentarily to waddle over to the mountain pass. She wanted to head in, I wanted to wait, so I told her to wait there for me.

After a bit, I come back to pick her up so I can explore! She is not where I left her! Where the hell did she go? I feel like having her in the party is extremely important for this. I can't get through the monetary door that another small group went through.

Laz'el please come back. Where is she???..

I probably spelt her name wrong but pleas hpwdbwlbd

#HELP #bg3 #bauldrs gate 3 #game advice #advice #please help i want her back #even though she flirted with me in an extremely violating way #:( #i miss her #lae'zel

[wuekka]

I'm confused about bg3 ending because I wanted to give Raphael the crown, but I couldn't have the choice...instead Gale apparently fished it out of the lake and gave it to Mystra...Do I need to become the new cult leader/absolute if I want to give it to him?

My ending bugged a little in general, Wyll talking as if I was in Laz'el route, hoping to fix that made me replay final boss only to see it didn't happen.
