as much as I love Durge/Astarion and all of the content we get specific to the two of them, I wish Larian had leaned more into Durge/Shadowheart because their stories work so well in parallel: they both have amnesia, work for/with a dark power, and can choose to either accept that darkness or resist it
I feel like Larian could’ve pushed their relationship, even if not romantic, way more simply because of their shared similarities, but afaik, there isn’t even a mention between Durge and Shart about their respective amnesias, despite that being such a unifying and bonding feature between them, not to mention the pull they both feel towards a darkness that’s hidden by that very same memory loss
I was never interested in Shadowheart until I started a Durge run and found out exactly how similar the two of them are, and it makes for such a compelling story, especially if they either enable each other towards darkness or encourage each other towards lightness
#idk I’m salty about Astarion getting so much love from the devs and every other companion getting left out in the cold#don’t get me wrong I fucking love Astarion#my blog is literally an Astarion fan blog with some extra bits on the side#but there are so many compelling character interactions that Larian just never bothered to explore#despite them being really fucking obvious#anyway if you havent romanced shart as durge yet this is your sign to do it (especially in an evil run but a good runs works just as well)#it’s so good and so rewarding#bg3#astarion#dark urge#shadowheart#durge x astarion#durge x shadowheart
