astarion origin playthrough worth it just for all the extra moments where he does the "sad wet cat" face

More parsed dialogue adventures. I was watching the video linked in this post about Astarion's dialogue if you try to throw the ball in camp if Scratch has been killed for whatever reason. Got me wondering what the other companions say in various ball-throwing scenarios...

If the ball is thrown and Scratch is trapped at the posthouse but could still be rescued:

ASTARION: - Even the power of a squeaky ball isn't enough to break the dog out of that kennel. - Well... there might have been another dog around? - What, I have to go and pick it up myself? Ridiculous. - I should probably free the dog - this ball won't fetch itself. LAE'ZEL: - The dog's still stuck at the post house. - Just - tossing the ball around. - I need to break Scratch out of that kennel. - Throwing the ball around is no fun when there's no Scratch to catch it. GALE: - I suppose teleportation is beyond Scratch. - I should probably fetch Scratch from the post house. - I'm just playing fetch with myself unless I go back for Scratch... - Might as well throw the damn thing at the post house... SHADOWHEART: - I suppose I should really free Scratch before I expect him to come running... - Scratch can't aid me just now - not while he's in the post house. - Worth a try. I really ought to free Scratch. - I don't know what I expected - Scratch can't reach me just now. WYLL: - Scratch is cooped up at the post house. Can't wait to have him back. - Scratch is a good friend. I need to get him back. - The pooch won't be fetching balls until I fetch him from that kennel. - *Sigh* KARLACH: - Scratch is still stuck at the post house. - Don't know what I expected. - We need to go get our boy back from that awful kennel. - This is no fun without Scratch here. JAHEIRA: - Blast. We left the dog to the kennels. - Too much to hope that Scratch would hear it and break free. - Perhaps if I threw Boo, Scratch would come running... do not think I missed that hungry look, hound. - Enough - I do believe the dog himself would be embarrassed for me. Let's go get him back. HALSIN: - Scratch cannot come - he still languishes at the post house. - Of course, my canine friend cannot help just now. He remains at the post house. - Thwarted again. I must see to freeing that poor dog. - Worth an attempt, but it would surely be quicker to just free Scratch. MINTHARA: - Scratch! Here, boy! Where is that damn dog? - Scratch is at the post house. We should organise a rescue mission. - Who do we need to kill to get Scratch back? - I hope he remembers us. (Devnote: Sadly.) MINSC: - Scratch is a captive of the post house still. Unless he breaks out to come and fetch...? No. - Would you like to fetch instead, Boo? - One more throw, and then we shall go and fetch Scratch from his prison. - You are right, Boo. If Scratch could see me now, he would be concerned. TAV: - Ah - Scratch is still at the post house. - It was worth a shot. Could have been other dogs in the area. - Time to fetch Scratch from the kennels, I suppose. - Well, it was worth one last shot.

If Scratch is permadead:

ASTARION: - Good riddance to the dog. Who'd miss that waggy little tail... (devnote: Pretending not to be sad and failing) - Does it have a sad squeak now? Is that even possible? - I suppose I'll just pick it up myself. - Can't believe the stupid dog isn't here to get the stupid ball. LAE'ZEL: - It's not much fun alone. - I really don't know what I thought would happen. - Solo fetch. A miserable pastime. - Can't believe I'm going to say this, but - I miss Scratch. GALE: - You were an excellent friend, Scratch - and that's coming from a cat-lover. - I hope there's balls and bones galore, wherever you are... - Poor Scratch. I'm lucky to have met you. - I hope Scratch doesn't miss his ball, wherever he is... SHADOWHEART: - I need to stop doing this to myself... - I didn't do this enough, when I had the chance. - I hope Scratch has a new ball to play with, wherever he is... - It's silly... part of me felt like Scratch might still show up for his ball. WYLL: - Fetch isn't much of a solo game. - Damn. I miss the furry fellow. - For old times' sake. - I miss you, Scratch. KARLACH: - I miss my dog. - Here, pup. (Devnote: Sadly - the dog is dead and she knows this.) - Why am I doing this to myself? - Scratch should be here. With his family. JAHEIRA: - Enough. This isn't helping anyone. - You deserved better, boy. - Gods, but you'd miss the fuss. The noise. Gods above, even the smell. - Pointless, without a pup to chase it. HALSIN: - I hope you are happy, wherever you are. - I am sorry, Scratch. - I torment myself - Scratch is not going to come. - Poor Scratch. I hope he is at peace. MINTHARA: - Everyone assumes I killed the dog. I liked the dog. - Scratch reminded me of my first displacer beast. A noble creature. - Withers! Be a good skeleton and fetch that ball. - Gah. I miss the damn dog. (Devnote: Surprised by her own feelings.) MINSC: - Scratch, come and... oh. How could I forget he was gone, Boo? - No game of fetch will bring Scratch back from death. - I know he is gone, Boo, but... perhaps this is a way of keeping him alive, no? - I miss him, Boo. TAV: - I suppose I'd better pick it up. No one else will. - Poor Scratch. I miss him. - It's not as fun when no one brings it back. - Scratch really gave that ball life. DARK URGE: - Why can't you fetch, puppy? Death is no excuse! - I think Scratch is up north. Playing in a goat-farm in Icewind Dale, of course! - Scratch was only ever meat of the lowest grade. - Aw, did someone pet you a bit too hard, pup? I thought you liked it!

If ball is thrown but Scratch unavailable/not currently summoned:

ASTARION: - Oh, the dog's had enough fun? Lazy mutt. - Dog? Dog! Fetch the ball. Fetch the - never mind, I'll get it. - First he wants to fetch, now he doesn't want to fetch. Make up your mind, dog. - The dog's tired after one little game of fetch? Weak. Pathetic. Barely a good boy at all. LAE'ZEL: - I don't think Scratch is up for it. - Scratch is resting. Not sure who or what I expected would fetch that. - It's Scratch's naptime. I'll need to get that. - I guess I'll have to get that. Scratch isn't about to. GALE: - Poor pooch is worn out. - Better let Scratch rest up. - The ballplay can wait, I suppose. - Hmm. I suppose Scratch has had enough fun and games for now. SHADOWHEART: - It's too soon - Scratch needs his rest. - Lazy mutt... no, I shouldn't say that. He's a good boy. - Poor thing. He must still be tired. - Still too soon. Scratch is dreaming of balls and buried bones, no doubt. WYLL: - Poor Scratch is tired. I should let him rest. - Scratch needs a snooze. The games can wait. - All tuckered out? Me too, Scratch. Me too. - No point in that. Good ol' Scratch is snoozing away. KARLACH: - Poor Scratch is all worn out. - I shouldn't tease our boy. - Fella must need a little shut-eye. - Better get it myself. JAHEIRA: - Well, Scratch? Do you scratch yourself somewhere? - Would you prefer I wild-shape, and fight you for it? - Take your rest then, Scratch. Eldath knows you've probably earned it more than us. - Lazy pup! Must I fetch it myself? HALSIN: - The poor dog is still weary. I must give him a chance to recover. - The valiant Scratch deserves his rest. Best leave him be for another while. - Even the most loyal of companions needs his rest. Sleep on, Scratch. - Scratch deserves his rest - I can handle this without him. MINTHARA: - Disobedient hound. Where is he? - Scratch. Obey my command! (Devnote: miffed but not actually angry; she likes Scratch too much to be angry.) - Blasted dog. You dare ignore me? - Do I have to fetch it myself? This is demeaning. MINSC: - Scratch is off somewhere scratching himself, I think. - Ah, I see. Scratch is playing fetch in his dreams instead. - Scratch sleeps still? Boo, you will have to share with him some of your stamina-building tricks. - If Scratch will not fetch, and Boo will not fetch, then Minsc must fetch. TAV: - Must be tired from all that running around. - Even good boys need a moment to catch their breath. - Must still be tired. Poor Scratch. - If Scratch won't pick it up, I guess I will.

Some other bonus animal-related items, starting with the owlbear cub talking about Scratch:

If Scratch and the cub are friends: No - Scratch friend! Takes care of me when scared at night. If Scratch was killed: Sad. No want food. No want play. (Player: What's the matter?) Scratch gone. Miss him. (Player pets cub.) Little better... You're nice.

And Scratch about the cub:

If Scratch and the cub are friends: No, nothing happened - just the young one having bad dreams. That's what you heard. (Player: I hear you're friends with the owlbear cub.) Yes! He's a handful, but I like having him around. I stay with him and keep him company when he's scared. He'll settle down, in time. If the cub was killed: It's not the same here. Feels emptier. (Player: What's wrong?) The young cub. He's gone... for good. (Player pets Scratch.) Thank you. I needed that.

[copdog1234]

It may end up being an impossible feat for me because i tend to play in a neutral good sort of way, but I really hope that on my first playthrough of BG3 I'll be able to successfully befriend all of the Early Access companions and not have them leave me cause they hate my decisions. I'm attached to all of them.

#bg3 #i like them all so much #im mostly scared that astarion and lae'zel specifically will leave me cause they tend to dislike me quite a bit #i cant predict if wyll will like me in full release like he tends to in EA since he's been rewritten #but yeah overall i can only hope #im sure ill want to befriend halsin and karlach too #maybe minsc?? #i have no hope for minthara #but ive spent a lot of time with the ea crew specifically so theyre special #baldur's gate #baldurs gate 3 #baldurs gate #bg3 astarion #bg3 gale #bg3 lae'zel #bg3 shadowheart #bg3 wyll

One fun thing about bg3 vs dragon age games is that in dragon age, I can't think of a single character I didn't like off the bat, or at least wasn't vaguely interested in. Like yeah some of them are jerks, ogrens a little annoying sometimes, they all do bad things, but they're all easy to get attached to, then it's later on that some make decisions that hurt or disappoint you. But with balder's gate? I genuinely disliked several party members immediately. They were uninteresting, mean, annoying. But you keep playing, and you learn about them, and suddenly you realize they've grown on you like fungus and they have very deep and cool lore and thought and emotion and you get to slowly see them open up!! Both are so much fun!!!

Then again I've barely started my bg3 playthrough so who's to say ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

#baldur's gate 3 #wow can't wait for these new blorbos to break me too! #watching myself go from kinda hating shadowheart to her being the bestie in real time #dragon age #bg3 #da:o #da:i #da2 #anyway karlach wifey truthers rise up #also love that there was a shady character named Anders who showed up for two seconds and lied to you lol #lae'zel underrated fr #still waiting to start liking gale #vampire boy is getting interesting and wyll is very nice #haven't met the bear fuck guy yet that's how early in the game i am #man. now i miss the da gangs :/

[leavemetoplaythesims]

this game is so fucking pretty

#i loved the camp in the mountain pass so much it was so beautiful #lae'zel's design is so cool she's growing on me #currently my go to party is astarion lae'zel and shadowheart #astarion and lae'zel does so much damage now i love them #karlach switches for lae'zel when she needs a break #and i get wyll only when i need to speak to animals cause he's the only one who has that spell #i haven't had gale in my party for days #not because i don't like him #i do a lot #but since my character's a warlock and i like to bring shadowheart everywhere i go it's too many magic users in one party #i should travel with him more though #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #my screenshots #video games

I MISSED THIS ENTIRELY MY FIRST TIME AROUND....THIS IS SO DAMN PRECIOUS?!!

#bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #this is so sweet. corydalis would cherish this present to the end of his days. #so nice of mirkon to say we killed the harpies in one blow! #we did not. #I couldn't long rest and reset corydalis' empty spell slots because the scene was glitching and the kid would spawn dead. #so i had to forgo the long rest and just fight them. #and then astarion and karlach kept getting lured by the harpy song! #lae'zel was the only one getting anything done! #and she sure as fuck didn't even want to be there!! i brought her to try and boost her approval... #but it's like. stuck at 6 or something equally abysmal because I keep pissing her off by being too nice. #I didn't realise there was an interaction between her and a tiefling in the grove in my first playthrough...she hated me more after that. #GIRL I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE ZORRU BOW FOR YOU! #like corydalis is a tiefling himself! be real lae'zel! #being nice to zorru got us the information we needed anyways... #astarion for whatever reason didn't complain even though i'm pretty sure being too nice in this interaction is supposed to annoy him. #i'm literally LOOKING for interactions to gain his disapproval!!!!! #BECAUSE HIS APPROVAL WON'T GO DOWN!!!!!!!!! #please my dearest I would like to NOT trigger your first romance scene too soon. #honestly if i could romance him without suffering through that again I would be thrilled. but it is not possible. #REALISTICALLY corydalis wouldn't even fall for his lying. he's ten times better a liar than astarion could ever hope to be. #and he's also extremely kind and caring! there's noooo WAY he'd let astarion's evasiveness slide unmentioned. #BUT ALAS. the game only permits you to avoid this TORMENTUOUS experience if you are playing karlach. #goblin camp is next though. I'm SURE I can earn disapproval there with him. #he may be allergic to disagreeing with my tiefling but this is still act 1 astarion! he is a bitter HATER with no healthy outlet. #I just have to like. oh I don't know. offer to help some random npc and ask for nothing in return.

Local vampire leaving a trail of victims at the Tiefling party

Bonus:

Getting severe whiplash at the tiefling party trying to talk to Lae'zel after getting savagely rejected by Astarion

I love your Shadowheart art, I'd love to see your Tav. Do you have any headcanons with you Tav and the party? Romance/friends bffs etc?

Omg that's so sweet, I can't believe someone is interested in seeing my Tav 😭❤️ This is her, her name is Ren, pronouns she/they (in game I sometimes switch between she/her and they/them using the magic mirror basically lol)

They're a half-drow fighter with urchin background, basically a scrappy street kid who had to learn to survive. Her main drive is that she would do anything for her friends, and as someone who had never worshipped any gods or had reason to trust in figures of authority, she just wants everyone to understand that they are fine the way they are and don't need the approval of some god. She doesn't seek authority or power and thinks that doing so never ends up being like, good for you (holding Astarion and Gale by the scruff of their necks)

Before the events of the game they'd say 'yeah i basically just want to survive and not be bothered lol' but when put in a situation where they have the power to help someone less fortunate they will ALWAYS take the opportunity to do so - too much of life spent being the one less fortunate!

Despite being a half-drow they'd never actually seen the Underdark before the events of the game and never met their drow father either so all that ancestry has really been to them is the assumptions people make.. In her appearance I was going for like, softer features than most drow seem to have and kind, human, brown eyes<3 You can'r rly see it in the pictures but she also has the neck rose tattoo.

They're a bit on the quiet and pensieve side (especially for a fighter) but have a cheeky sense of humour and always stay positive!!

This is the only art I've really done of Ren so far lol

Sketched it out after the first Shadowheart romance scene so YEAH Shart romance obviously hehe Ren was immediately drawn to her because 1)hot goth girl hiiiii and 2)she could see the incongruity between what SH said she was and believed and her actual morals and behaviour. And Ren's calm, kind and unjudgemental presence made Shadowheart trust her very quickly. Basically an immediate attraction and fascination that quickly turned into a strong bond, ik that's not very unique or interesting sorry they're just in louve<3

as for the other party members she feels very close to Astarion (just drawn to edgy bitches with a dark past ig!!) and is basically trying to domesticate him and show him the joys of found family. Karlach is also a very easy natural friend for her as they're similar in many ways although Ren is much quieter and less intense lol but they're Best Bros and drink beer together and arm wrestle and laugh at stupid shit

also good buds with Gale despite his initial romantic intentions and she helps him with the cooking<3 She admires Lae'zel and feels for her struggle a lot but had a bit of a harder time with her at first because of the rough bossiness but they grew closer over time and respect each other greatly. and loves Wyll obviously who doesn't love Wyll but rolls her eyes at his dramatic heroism. Really vibes with Jaheira's sense of humour and thinks shes hot too

#thank u so much for asking I loved writing this out!! #anon #ask #bg3 #shadowheart #bg3 tav #ren #(this ones for me) #we lost halsin along the way im afraid bc i fucked it in the shadow lands and didnt do the thaniel quest:^) #i also have a faggy bitchy boy durge named Javi but i just started w him so hes not too fleshed out yet #but he is ging to romance astarion and i like to think of them and ren+shadowheart as a friend group<3 #i need to make more SHxTav headcanons and draw them with their 473769720 pets in their country cottage #BTW Ren's views of the characters do not necessarily reflect my own even if she is 80% self insert. for instance i fucking love lae'zel #just wanted to disclaim

[wisherbysharlight]

Got the funniest fucking combination of glitches wrapping up my second bg3 playthrough. Allow me to set the scene

Got through all the ending cutscenes(including, notably, Laezel flying off to war on a dragon and Wyll traipsing off to Avernus with Karlach). All very touching and beautiful, but my Tav romanced Astarion this time around, and I'm eager to see that conclusion. The screen fades to black, and I hear his voice start and we fade back in to...

Everyone's favorite Warlock? Standing in a minecart? Not exactly what I had in mind...

and oh hey laezel back so soon? Quick little minecart canoodle with Wyll before The War? He's dreamy, i get it, but not really the focus right now. You two continue to uhhhh... put your heads together while we check in on the stars of the show

Oh dear, it seems the man of the hour has become an unholy amalgamation of himself and the ghouls he summoned in the final battle, and despite shaking in fear he really, really just wants to discuss their relationship and future together. How very devoted

Yes dear, this is everything Tav wants... but uh. She's gonna keep the shield up for now. Just in case.
