Hi! I love your work so much and wanted to ask if it's okay to take inspiration from you to make some screenshots (if I ever have the confidence to post anything I'll give you credit). I'm trying to learn how to make good digital photos but I find that having someone to look up to makes it easier in the beginning. Also, I wanted to ask you if you have any suggestions for particular dialogues to get good expressions for screenshots and gifs because I always struggle to find good ones 🙈 May I ask in particular which scene and locations in the game you used to make these lovely screenshots (hopefully Tumblr won't remove the links when I send the request):

Hello! Thank you so much <3 it is so flattering that you are inspired by my content 😊 I am excited to see what you come up with!

1 - House of grief in Act 3 as shadowheart - have to tell her to “do what is right” to have her fall to her knees.

2 - Lae’zel romance Act 1, just at the beginning when she is kissing your neck.

*duplicate link

3 - Just in camp in front of the campfire with modded Astarion + I used depthdarkness in reshade; the campsite I was at for this is the Act 3 one by the docks

4 - Right outside the githyanki crèche by the stained glass windows in Act 1

5 - Right as you enter the Mountain Pass in Act 1

6 - By Lae’zel’s tent in Act 3 camp by the docks

7 - same location as 1, same dialogue option

8 - Act 1 camp, I think it is the one when you are inside the goblin camp selune temple? I could be wrong though… but it’s by Shadowheart’s tent

As for recommendations with scenes and such, there are so many that I like to go back to… it is hard to say any specific ones since it depends on the mood/theme you are going for. I guess as an example, I like to go for dark/sad themes often, so one of my favourite locations is the gymforge camp right by wyll’s tent. This is kind of evil, but to have my Tav make a sad face, I choose the option to break up with Wyll lol (DONT WORRY I DONT GO THROUGH WITH IT), but while Wyll waits for you to respond, your Tav will usually make very sad faces. It is really about thinking what you want to go for first, and then exploring different environments and paying attention to all of the different expressions/reactions your Tav AND the companions make during specific scenes/dialogues. I say companions because you can use appearance edit mod to resculpt them into your Tav/oc and utilize their expressions, which usually is a wider range than the custom character.

Flower Girl

Name: Pero Ophiin (She/Her)

Race: Wood Half-Elf

Class: Druid (Circle of the Land)

Background: Outlander

WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD!

It's side quest time bby! Because I'm too under leveled to handle the Paladins of Tyr for now, so that's the goal atm. So, let's go back to figuring out Kagha's secret.

So Pero and her ragtag gang went into the swamps and discovered Auntie Ethel being harassed by two men. Not knowing the full context of the situation and Pero only knowing the disguised Hag as a kindly old lady, she came to her defense. I switched on non-lethal for this, but one of them accidentally died because he got ensnared and took damage (oops).

As they were exploring the swamps, Pero was able to deduce that there was an illusionary veil that concealed the true visage of the swamps. It was here that they saw that the sheeps were actually Redcaps (didn't get a screenshot, sorry ;A;). She also met the monster hunter, Gandrel, and because Astarion is not in my party (and because Pero is a kind person who wouldn't harm him senselessly) my man got to walk away. Pero tried to get information on who it was he was hunting, but Gandrel opt to not tell her.

We'll get back to Auntie Ethel later, for now, Pero and the gang went to find the secret letter that called Kagha out on her bullshit. Returning back to Emerald Grove, unlike Torment, who used this evidence as a reason to kill Kagha, Pero instead tried to convince Kagha to see the error of her ways.

After dealing with the Shadow Druids, with the full help of Emerald Grove, Pero was deemed a Faithwarden, a Druid with enough high status to be listened to throughout all circles (so there's a possibility we might meet more Druidic NPCs or settlements :D). So now Pero is decked out with some new weapon drip!

Now that the grove is safe for the Tieflings to reside in, Pero will soon focus her attention on taking out the Goblin camp. But until then, I still wanted to handle the Paladin's before continue on, so more level grinding! Before we continue, some cute companion stuff. Starting with Gale, he taught Pero how to unlock the Weave and they both shared an intimate moment. I still intend to romance Halsin, but goddamn is it hard to do so when 2 easy options are right in front of you XD

As for Wyll, we got a special little dialogue moment between him and Zevlor upon discovering his new form. While at camp, Wyll asked Pero what was it he saw when she looked at him. In which Pero told him she still see the good ol' Wyll who is trying to do what is right.

Pero eventually told Astarion about Gandrel and learned further about Astarion's past and his relationship with Cazador. A little cute rp thing I think is cute is that Pero has taken up the role of "Rogue" in terms of lockpicking and disarming traps (her stealth & sleight of hand is a +4 and +2 respectfully), so I like to think that she learned how to do so (aside from the aid of magic and inspiration of course lol) from Astarion & Shadowheart. Speaking of Shadowheart, when I decided to ask her how Pero was holding up, she said this cute little dialogue. Being nice pays off :D

With that over with, back to the level grind. I decided to trigger the combat with the gnolls, and because Pero failed the Arcana check to identify them, she attempted to comfort the dying Hyena, only to discover something sinister. Because of this, we got surprised and I ended up fighting more Gnolls than intends. Successfully took them on tho.

Despite fighting more enemies than usual, didn't hit that 3rd level mark yet. So let's go to Waukeen's Rest and help them out!
