#am I gonna act like Astarion is doing that of his own free will without me the player controlling him?

Gale finally confessed in my BloodWeave run and now Astarion is demanding good morning kisses every time he wakes up, good night kisses before going to bed and good luck kisses before every big fight

Random things I've done in BG3 because I'm not used to games that let you do whatever you want (or open world games in general, really):

I went all the way to starting Act 2 before I knew that I had missed almost all of the companions except for Shadowheart and Gale. I thought that they'd be involved in the main quest/story and just appear somehow during it, not that you had to explore the map more to find them. So I had to go BACK to the start of Act 1 to find everyone. I basically walked right past Astarion at the start of the game without knowing SOBBINGGGGG. So I got everyone else like 20 hours into the game...

Didn't realize you can steal things, so I accidentally stole something right after walking into the Emerald Enclave I think, and the guy said "come with us to jail" but I was thinking "no, I have a quest to do, I can't do that." So I had to kill like 6 people and then ran and was locked out of the Emerald Enclave until after I defeated the entire goblin camp. I came back like 30 hours later and there was a gravestone for him there. LORD.

I was trying to free a goblin that was hanging in a cage inside the goblin camp just to see what would happen, but it was locked and I didn't have a key, so I said "what if I tried to bust open the cage door with a caustic bomb" and it fucking exploded the entire cage and he DIED OFC

Was trying to do the free Nere or whatever from the fallen rocks with a bomb, but I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working after using so much explosives that it accidentally exploded Gale into the lava pit and killed him. Instead of feeling like bothering with his entire intricate plan to bring him back, I just used a Revival scroll, but didn't realize that it doesn't automatically revive them in a safe spot. So he burned to death twice, um.... I'm SO SORRY Gale.

I didn't realize my tutorials were off, so I didn't know how to jump until probably 3-5 hours into the game.

I also didn't know how poisons worked or when you could use healing potions until probably 35-40 hours into the game. Same with using Thieves' Tools. If something was locked and I couldn't find the key, I just left until Gale learned Knock. I did realize until probably 30ish hours in that you can teleport through locked doors, so I did do that at times, but every other time I was stuck.

I pick up literally anything I find, so I didn't know I actually picked up a wand and thought "I have a wand I picked up that could bring back your dead husband" to this grieving woman was a joke option. No, I actually did have one, so I was like well. Fuck it. Let's see what happens (I knew it was likely gonna be something bad). Predictably I brought back her husband as a nasty looking zombie and she did NOT like that, but I smoothed it over with "well, maybe he's still in there." And she was like "if he is I will find him!! I'm gonna find someone in Baldurs Gate who will help." So then I gave her the wand so she could control him and said good luck LMAOO

Heard some moaning behind a locked door in the Blighted Town and the person inside was like "GO AWAY!!" and Shadowheart also said to stay out of it. But I was like no...I wanna know what's happening because I'm too curious for my own good. Turned out to be a bugbear man and giant ogre woman having sex. And they got really pissed ofc so I had to kill them unfortunately. Sorry guys.

There's definitely more I'm forgetting, but I am SO bad at games. I am learning.
