Basically, as you increase in power, you’ll acquire greater powers as you attain higher levels in “disciplines”. ehhh-but-kinda-okay? I’ll talk about your vampiric abilities first. This will be seen once we have the companion tags activated as it happened in DOS2.īefore I go into greater detail about the story and writing, let’s talk about the mechanics of play, which are. I don't like to read much about it in that scene because the game still doesn't have companion Tags those options in the mirror can be there just for the player to pick, flavoured with each origin, but not necessarily the three of them are canon. Unless the family part has a different role in his backstory (mirror option) and it's not a mere line for a player to play a “good aligned” Astarion when picked as Origin. His reasons for his whimsical evilness is more like “it's always been in his nature”.
I feel this is Astarion's case, he is a “beautiful villain” who apparently has always been evil. People can love villains because they have real complex reasons to be so (like Loghain in DAO), but they also can like whimsical villains just because they are “hot”. We can explore a lot of examples of this in many fandoms.
All this, clearly, shows to me that a lot of people approached this game for only one char, for only his design (a big amount of them say it explicitly), and it is not far-fetched to know that people justify more easily beautiful villains than ugly ones. I'm saying that, for me, there it proof enough to sustain this idea that Astarion is woobified because he is beautiful: when you read that a lot of people in this fandom never had an interest in Larian's previous games, or isometric rpgs, or even turn-based combat games (there are some people who are giving feedback against the game being a turned-based combat one! It's the nonsense because it's basically Larian's style), but they bought bg3 because they saw Astarion, even though they knew nothing about him. I want to make clear that I'm not questioning people's taste, everyone can like whatever they want to. They would focus on his “bastard” side and leave it at that (again, Lae'Zel has this treatment). If he were a bugbear or a goblin, few in this fandom would give a thought about his abuse, his pain, Cazador, etc. Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.First and foremost, I believe it's his appearance.
