#Just wanna play BG3 an relax at this point

Prompt #19: Weal

Lance smiled over the rim of his cup as he watched Ava and Jas playing nearby. Probably his favorite part of sitting outside here with Tara and Theo. Didn't mean he loved the twins any less than the kids. The Loches were family to him.

But watching the kids be happy and enjoying their time outside was always good. Something he looked forward to someday himself. Maybe with Kyna. He'd make sure to be a better father than his own had been.

First they had to deal with his mother. But he wasn't letting thoughts of her sour such a nice day. Or his cup of Ishgardian tea. Thanalan was still a bit too warm for his particular tastes most days but anything was better than the endless cold of Coerthas.

Eyes drifting up the hill towards the nearby free company house. Things might not be exactly where he'd expected them to be but he was content for now. Bran was watching over his brother. Alexois was keeping tabs on the shadier things his mother might be up to. Francel was busy with helping Ishgard rebuild. This rest to watch the kids was much earned.

Trying to finally get sleepy and kinda watching someone play BG3 while I relax, and like. Sometime I definitely wanna play like… a multiplayer game if only so that I can see like… what my play style compares to. Like not just like… what class I play but like. I always seem to need Astarion unless I play Rogue or Ranger. Or I guess another high dex build… and yeah, rogue’s not what it was in 5e, but I don’t even stealth much and I find it a really fun dps experience. Especially comboing it with my sorcerer who I usually have as my melee mage with more close range spells and Gale doing potshots with ranged stuff further back since he usually has a lower armour class and HP, doing a good job being a glass canon. Then the third spot alternates, though Gale also alternates because he has spell slots and when they’re gone he loses a lot of usefulness. This is a downside he has with Shadowheart and my caster MCs, but I can’t just not have my MC do their job so that doesn’t matter. I should make a warlock, barbarian and a fighter at some point so I can commit their systems to memory at some point, then I might get better at Lae’zel, Wyll and Karlach. I haven’t played a Tav with any of those classes yet and maybe if I do I’ll get better at controlling them in battle and feel less unsure about them. Especially since I’ve already learned a familiarity with Astarion, Gale and Shadowheart. And the more I repeat the pattern the more I’ll get used to their patterns. I gotta break it. How to learn new fighting styles. Or if I’m so comfortable with how they play I could take over one of them and have more room on the team to add one more of the cool guys instead of an OC.

Maybe I will fall asleep soon, my mind is going. But now I think it might be fun to try playing the game as Astarion. *I* could be the bitch annoying everyone. That sounds hilarious. He would be the worst protagonist. Why would anyone put him in charge?
