So um got to that scene w asatrion,……….its a whole thing

so like an immense sense of guilt followed me thru the durge playthrough cuz of what happened in last light inn, which I wouldn't have even felt THAT bad abt if I hadn't tried really hard to save Jahiera and the nightsong. Like I am the reason she had to kill her girlfriend n I feel so bad about that I don’t even go near her side of camp……..sheesh n don’t get me started on jahiera like she deserved a warriors death I literally obliterated the harpers n then I take her w me to baldur's gate n orin wipes out the rest like I am her Judas

THEN we get to the murder tribunal  that’s  when I found out what happens to a bhaal spawn when they die; they become servants of their lord and technically their souls go back into bhaal so he is resurrected- and that durge is a being born from an immaculate conception, an antichrist like figure- this has been in the back of my mind while playing like damn when we die we are NOT seeing those pearly gates.

And then we went to cazador- I got this dialogue with him, since I romanced him n was like no, no we arent going to let him ascend this time its an insane choice! This 'to care is to live again' would not have hit the same if I wasn’t playing durge!! It in perfectly incapsulates my entire experience its why Rhena didn’t fuck everyone over to be the last woman alive to rule over a dead world- as Amelyssan (Bhaal's former priestess) would've done like damn w an evil durge ending Rhena could've become a messiah like figure in the bhaal cult- the power she couldve received from it, makes a nice parallel with Astarion n Cazador- was it worth it? I am HAUNTED BY consequences astarion shouldn’t be!! its like they say you may start the walk towards power as a person of dignity but ultimately you end it as a gnat

Also the way he FUCKING CRIES IM DEAD AAAAA

#2000000 out of 10 storytelling in this game #im still blind in this play thru i do not look at peoples theories n stuff so this is just how i feel in the moment this game mannnn #Just enough freedom n flow for you to interpret what you like about your tav n these characters without boxing you in to a set good or bad #I still do like the ascendant ending because he can still live in the sun but it doesnt work this time #astarion is one of my top choices for durge romance rn #i gotta be up 5 tomorrow but im staring at the ceiling thinking about this whole thing #they defo fucked nasty on that grave #bg3 #bg3 Rhenawedd

THE 30 DAY MONSTER CHALLENGE HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE

I shall be participating in @thetygre‘s 30 Day Monster Challenge this year AGAIN and every post I shall likely become more and more bloated as before. So without further adieu, here it today’s first entry.

1. Favorite Dracula

Honestly? Dracula from the original novel.

Can't really say Nosferatu because, TECHNICALLY, he isn't Count Dracula, he's Count Orlok, shush. Even though I think Orlok is THE best cinematic vampire bar none, with Max Schrek, Klaus Kinski and Willem Defoe all fleshing that character out amazingly, I don’t think I can really include him. Much to my immense shame I've never seen the Lugosi Dracula, Lee is a little too genteel and handsome (from what I remember, although his voice perfect), Gary Oldman was good but that movie kinda fucks the story up badly, gorgeous visuals aside.

Dracula in the novel is one of the two ways I think vampires should be done, the other being Orlok. In the novel (which is a great fuckin book, I should mention), the Count himself is more like an evil wizard, trained in sorcery by the Devil at the Scholomance, he's all nasty and weird, though very intelligent, he has a moustache, and there's no humanity about the Count. He is a monster through and through, there is no tragic love story or flawed antihero behind him, he is a force of darkness. He really represents the great symbol of powerful evil that the vampire holds in folklore, and more. He's also a great character in his own right and holds the reader whenever he appears. There’s a great lordly and tyrannical air about him. And the best? Not only is he performing all the duties of a castle's servants, he absolutely cooked that chicken dinner for Harker. Dracula has it all!
