Something I find. VERY fascinating—like a lot of this is just vibe reads verging on hc but bear with me—

Cazador Szarr is very like...buttoned up? We hear him described as a very powerful monster by Astarion through the whole game and when you finally meet him he's like so PRIM. He's not unhinged or rabid. His body language is very upright and rigid. He's buttoned up to the neck, not a hair out of place. He has an objectively handsome symmetry to his face, but not moreso than any other elves we see in-game really. There is a strange sort of like. Sexless read I get on him that feels intentional—theres none of the classic "Dracula" appeal with him, despite the fact that THATS the role he pushed the spawn into. There's nothing to be drawn to. He's a possessed mannequin. There's nothing left to pick away at or gnaw on until youve killed him.

And so much of the violence described in this quest line is psychosexual in nature, but its orchestral conductor, its engineer, does not wear that nature in his appearance or posture or speech. You almost picture a smarmy Gortash type to be our master vampire, but no. It's a neat and tidy Cazador Szarr. It is fascinating design and writing.

Astarion might not like flowers, but they really do suit him 🌹

Astarion is still fluent in elvish you guys are just scared of the comedy potential that is having to put absolute faith in ASTARION!!! to be your translator in de-escalation scenarios.

#bg3 #ok i usually go for the comedy of him pretending he remembers elvish and having to interpret body language but this is so much funnier #wyll: ‘please tell them we meant no harm; we’re only passing through’ #astarion in elvish: ‘we won’t hurt you if you get out of our way’

Vampire-Ascendant-Astarion always shows up to Grand Duke Wyll's parties uninvited. Wyll is not amused that his ex keeps trying to seduce him.

I love BG3 tavs I love seeing people put immense lore into their tavs as characters and I love seeing people use their tavs as 1:1 self inserts and I love seeing people simply use a tav as a vehicle for gameplay who make them look so cool but know basically nothing about them I love ur tavs feed them to me
