i know there are already posts about it but it's so cute how most of the companions are kind of apathetic about each other in act 1 but when elminster shows up and gives gale his ultimatum everyone is like. hold the FUCK up. his goddess sounds like shit and gale can do better. shadowheart and lae'zel have their first agreement over it and it's "wow i can't imagine what it must be like to serve a goddess who sucks so bad :/ he should leave her before he wastes himself trying to earn her favor" CAN YOU HEAR YOURSELVES. mystra's real magic was getting this crew of merry assholes (and wyll and karlach) to unite as a Save Gale Dekarios committee
#aster plays baldurgame#imagine being such a bastard of a deity that ASTARION ANCUNIN is like 'seems like a waste of life to me :/'#companions will look at gale dekarios and go 'this wet paper towel of a man is the exception to my most deeply held life philsophy'#except for wyll who is like 'this is literally why i'm an atheist'#i can't call him gale of waterdeep anymore he reintroduced himself to jat in the epilogue and it Changed Me fundamentally#i am also not immune to Wet Paper Towel Man#anyway i'm not still hung up on jatgale and how perfect they were together why do you ask. i'm 100% on this run. not nostalgic at all

trying to pick character-consistent responses to the ~dream visitor~ pre reveal is so hard when all i want to do is punt it into the astral plane and let the dragons eat it molecule by molecule
#fuck your mean manipulative game and fuck ya chicken strips. is what im thinking#but nooooooo have to play a character with. what do you call it. self control and compassion#i miss jat. she could be so mean for no reason and yet it always made sense because it was Her#aster plays baldurgame

good god i had my paladin for like 6 hours and she’s already an oathbreaker because i didn’t realize letting a 6-hp goblin out of the cage to use for information was enough to steal a chunk of her soul or whatever. sorry girlfail paladin of all time, worst luck in canon AND in the viddy game
#‘i can’t make her a vampire too so I’ll make her a drow that should make people distrust her about the same level as in canon’#‘what else could possibly go wrong’#sorry baby girl this was NOT my intention 😭😭😭 i just forgot a paladin is on railroads#and judah is………….not.#aster plays baldurgame

as much fun as i’m having with the treeboy playthrough i don’t think he’d actually survive this adventure. like i think at some point all of The Horrors would make his heart physically break and he would just. die. he’s got too much depression to survive a literal shadow plague as well as yet another curse that give him evil powers he didn’t ask for
#he isnt so much softhearted as he is just very worn down#and i don’t think it would take very far into act 2 for it to be too much#(altho in some ways i think he is softhearted he just doesn’t like. present it very well)#just went back to play my jat save file and was reminded how much more suited to it she is than he is#aster chat#aster plays baldurgame

not having gale was such a loss in my first playthrough, i love babytalking the tv screen every time he does a jump. “awww good boy, such a good boy, making that big scary jump with his sad fragile little human legs. everyone clap for the big boy” brightens my day immensely
#how many times have i gone back to walk him through a jump that he can’t get down from? the limit does not exist#he’s a silly baby boy and unfortunately im slightly obsessed with him. doesn’t mean I can’t razz him when he gets himself stuck on a ledge#aster plays baldurgame#bg3 gale

how the fuck am i supposed to save this whole damn fantasy country if i am struggling SO hard just to get shadowheart and astarion out of their toxic home lives
#URGH#why are there so many incredibly strong side enemies to fight#like please let me focus on decimating your boss then we can all just go home#i picked the easy game for baby settings specifically so i WOULDNT rage quit battles like this#this is EASY MODE? god#aster plays baldurgame

i know adding even more dialogue into the game would be a wild ask but i think it’s very funny that no one reacts in camp when you become an oathbreaker. everyone has an opinion when shadowheart gets her new bleach job but a terrifying knight summons the tav to a life of broken oaths and wicked necrotic powers and everyone is like “huh? that guy in the helmet? pretty sure he’s always been here, i’m not gonna bring him up that’d be rude. what’s tav so upset about”
#my babygirl had. a long day today! but at least she made it with bear man. she’s Coping(tm)#aster plays baldurgame

some more bg3 updates, are you sick of this yet, too bad
i do not understand why there isn't more mintharastarion. every time i do something with these fuckers in my party it's always either "your two murder gremlins approve" or "the two devils on your shoulder disapprove". i told wulbren i wasn't just going to commit mass murder via fuckoff magic blasting caps and they both went ">:( why not. pussy". 1) CAN YOU TWO PLEASE CHILL AND LET ME BE. 2) romantic, sexual, platonic, whatever, like. why was i not Warned about this dynamic, where are their posts
on that subject. i am terrified that i'm going to lose the astarion romance if it keeps going like this. i've still got Very High approval but i haven't had a cut scene in a while (since araj at moonrise?) and i keep getting disapprovals and it's like. am i getting a bad grade in romance? is the third time actually the exact opposite of the charm? why is it so HARD
positive note: if i do tank the poly romance option, at least halsin will still be there. i love getting a companion in the party that literally starts out on High approval. he's just. he's the best. if no one else got me i know halsin got me.
everyone was so supportive of lae'zel telling vlaakith to fuck off and then i go talk to minthara and she goes "can lae'zel please put off her tantrum until she's not in our party, pissing off a god isn't good for our collective health" MA'AM HOW DO YOU THINK YOU GOT HERE. MA'AM.
#i love her a lot <3 but like. think about it my good bitch <3#connect some dots queen <3#every companion like 'sucks that everyone else is dealing with their goddesses being evil. not me though. i'm handling my situation great'#aster plays baldurgame

i really thought i was onto something w/ the lorroakan fight where i would take a sussur blossom and put all tanks in my party and watch that little bastard squirm while all his magic goes dead and a bunch of pissed-off gym lesbians axe him to death and then ofc the flowers went dead as soon as i brought them out of the camp crate and i remembered they stop working aboveground. rip
#like. OBVIOUSLY that wouldn't work that would break the whole damn game.#but i got so excited for a second!#and THEN i forgot that i wasn't playing totk and was like 'maybe i can fuse it to a sword or greataxe???'#INCORRECT AGAIN#i know i already said this but uhhhhhh i may be Incompetent#i mean i guess you SORT of do fuse it but it's a very nerfed version. like yeah silence is nice#but i would like to put an entire anti-magic field around that little bastard that he can't get out of#aster plays baldurgame

nothing like blazing through the cazador fight with almost 0 damage taken, not even on baby mode, perfect party dynamics for once, and then immediately picking the wrong astarion dialogue so i have to do the damn fight over again. love that. thanks fangs, love that for me, i have nothing but time and energy to baby you out of your homicidal impulses, please let's do this five more times, it's so much fun
#i'm not actually dismissive towards vamp boy's arc it's just [through tears] i fucking hate this fucking fight#it's so exciting to do a really good job on a boss fight and then have to save scum so i don't lose sneak attack. like. babe.#i never remember the path through the maze of talking him off the mass murder ledge the first time around#i don't think i've ever done this fight just once#i've never even gotten AA he just always LEAVES. i just get the pathetic ending every time. it's incredible#you'd think i'd learn + remember at one point but nah!#aster plays baldurgame#i'm doing my first durge run and my first kind of self-insert so it's fun i should show them off sometime#their name is aster obviously and yes i HAVE gotten vamp boy and myself mixed up sending items between the party#multiple times. i am. possibly. an incompetent

playing a trying-to-not-be-a-mass-murderer durge is like. i'm not cool enough for shadowheart and astarion and lae'zel but i'm too edgy for wyll and gale. quite frankly this sucks tbh
#i'm not used to every companion still being neutral by the time we hit the blighted town#like my people pleaser ass is straight up not having a good time#what's worse is that i was playing another version before and shades like. LOVED that one#but i wasn't feeling the run as a whole so i deleted and started over#i don't know what i did wrong this time around#like are you SUPPOSED to feel like shit playing durge or is that just my own personal hangups lmao#minthy save me.........minthy..........save me minthy...........#aster plays baldurgame

i made my durge the villain character from my book that’s basically like “what if the daddy issues morgana/loki/jin guangyao bad guy was the protagonist and got what they wanted” and it was truly the best char i could have picked for a durge. no one likes them and that’s exactly how hazel faye prefers it (lie) (they want to be loved so bad)
#haze: says some unpleasant shit#every single companion: :/ here’s an idea. shut the fuck up#haze: god this sucks why does everyone hate me. i’m going to be evil on purpose now#aster plays baldurgame

i haven't finished judah's run yet but i started my first durge run and man. i don't want to save scum too much, i want to deal with the consequences of things like a bad little bhaalspawn, but mistakes were made and i'm not ready to give gale up that quickly.
#aster plays baldurgame#i'm not sure if i'm going to make it psychologically intact out of a durge playthrough. i have too much Guilt already#the Guilt and the awareness that they get the data from everyone's playthroughs.....They're Watching Me#i can't be evil while computers are watching me and devs are gathering the details of my choices. they'll Know#'aster they gave you this option because being evil in video games is actually not a sin and not something they'll judge you on'#THE GUILT! THE SHAME! THE GUILT!#girl help i played one (1) hour as durge and did nothing more wicked than envision murder and i already feel So Guilty aksjdhakjfhdsksdjfh

my third (full) run is about halfway through act 2 and my major updates are:
the astarion romance is progressing EEP this is exciting, finally making some HEADWAY
THIS IS OFFICIALLY A MINTHARA-INCLUDED RUN, FINALLY GOT HER, FELLAS !!!
knowing next to nothing about minthara and yet nearly recreating her with my tav (blonde lolthsworn drow oath of vengeance paladin with a noble background) is Some Kind of Coincidence
#hate being Like This but i'm already imagining my next playthrough lmaooooo#i think if i don't romance lae'zel next i'm going to Perish#but i'm having fun with this one! in my last playthrough i saved aylin before even setting foot in moonrise#so i kind of missed out on lots of story in the tower#aster plays baldurgame#also can someone explain WHY the faith leap challenge is getting harder not easier.#my first time through i literally just breezed thru it without knowing what was going on#and only found out that it was supposed to be tricky later on#the 2nd time i realized there were going to be Problems but i cheesed it with some potions and it was no big deal#i had TPK FOUR TIMES before i got it right this time. i think they nerfed glorious vaulting. at least fly scroll still works

JAT RUN IS OVER AND I AM ONCE AGAIN TOO HAPPY FOR WORDS
#I am SOOOO—#honestly honestly honestly. she deserves this so much.#the idea of her with her wizard HUSBAND just curling up and doing magic studies and being a terror who is so so beloved#and her friends out there ready to go on another adventure one day when she inevitably gets bored#she and gale are so!!!! good!!!! she and lae are so good even if they’re realms apart!!!!#jat tav is all I want in this life. she did so good. I love her and this game a deeply abnormal excessive amount#aster chat#aster plays baldurgame

mystra looks like she would genteelly cuss me out at a whole foods for accidentally bumping her elbow in front of the nut flours
#first time encountering her since i missed gale in my treeboy playthrough#she looks like she talks about how getting lip injections is an empowering feminist move#my boy can do better!#but it's cute what he says to jat afterward <3 about her being better than a goddess <3#jat with her fucked up tadpole face & constantly woozy from blood loss and also covered in gore from all the Murders: thanks babe i know <3#aster plays baldurgame
