#Baldur’s gate 3

Why is this literally my playthrough

Astarion knows an easy mark when he sees one 🤣

Bonus Gale reaction:

[alfynnlin]

Sometimes, a family is just an emo goth, an angry space frog, a purple misandrist, a vampire twink, an autistic magician, a golden retriever butch, a half-devil fencer, a furry, a folklore grandma, a bald guy and his hamster, a random adventurer with a weird name, and a psychotic amnesiac with a migraine.

Gale Dekarios: The absolute sweetest and most absurd friend you could ask for

So, let me start by saying I don’t know anything about DND at all.

I’m not familiar with the world or aware of well-known locations, deities, items etc, etc. Most if not all of the references in BG3 go right over my head—so I tend to look a lot of things up just so I have some frame of reference.

You may remember this conversation from the Epilogue with ‘Friend Gale’. If you turn down his initial offer for you to come be a guest lecturer, he’ll gently insist that you still come visit him, and offer you this to entice you:

It’s super sweet, right?! How could anyone resist an offer of a good dinner and some wine with a friend?

It just recently occurred to me that ‘Elverquisst’ sounded pretty fancy, it must be a DND thing too? At the very least I was sure it’d have some short description or reference, though I half expected it to just be a local Waterdhavian wine.

…

…here’s the description from the Forgotten Realms Wiki page for Elverquisst:

Elverquisst was ruby colored, "distilled from sunshine and rare summer fruits." It was smooth but flecked with gold. It was generally stored in bottles made of transparent crystal, capable of absorbing light. Upon speaking a specific phrase in Elvish, the light gathered into thirteen distinct points that resembled the constellation Correlian.[1]

Elverquisst was highly prized by elves, especially in autumn. A ritual was involved in drinking Elverquisst. The ritual involved a chant, pouring the liquid into a goblet, swirling it around, sharing it with others, and offering a ritual bow of the head in thanks.[1]

Well! That all sounds extremely wonderful and fancy, I wonder how much a bottle of that would co—

 The liquid itself could rack up as much as 9,000 gp with additional 2,000 gp for the bottle, totaling at 11,000 gp.[3]

EXCUSE ME WHAT

UM…

…here’s the most expensive drink I could find in BG3, a Carafe of Wine:

And the most expensive item I could find in the whole damn game, the Legendary Helldusk Armor:

…GALE.

GALE, HONEY.

TLDR: Your good friend Gale just invited you to join him for an evening of invigorating conversation, delicious food, and the wine equivalent of a McLaren F1.

I don’t think I ever posted these. Unfinished, but I don’t feel like working on them anymore.

[an-excellent-choice]

remembering that Gale is about level 20 or him being an archmage pre-tadpole does things to me

this man was that powerful and competent

[coyote-ralyn]

Eternal beauty.

I've finally finished the idea that's been capture my mind since the summer.

Traveling in Southeast Asia gave me inspiration.

Tav: Hey, pretty princess.

Shadowheart: *scoffs but smiles* Are you talking to me?

Tav: *smirking* You see any other pretty princesses here?

Astarion: Me, but please, continue.

Tav and Shadowheart turn and glare at Astarion.

Astarion: Apologies, did I ruin the moment? *not actually sorry at all*

When you’re trying to have a moment with your wife but your cat keeps interrupting.
