White boy quest progress check:
Largely following through Astarion's plot has been fun consideration for Farryn's relationship with him. Farryn wants a very similar thing to what Astarion wants- Security. But he's aware, much like his magic, that the world is chaotic. There are no guarantees, farryn refuses to believe Fate is prewritten and unchangeable, and so the pursuit of total power, to him, only provides another element of chaos as opposed to stability.
Because Farryn suffers from being my first pc I'm trying to do the "right" things with him but it's become apparent over the course of the game that he'd rather let others choose what they think is right for them as thats Something he had to fight for himself.
But he also reserves the right to tell others he thinks they're wrong <3
This has meant that leading up to this point Farryn has been neutral/leaning slightly negative on the whole ascension thing- not because of the sacrificing others aspect, but because surely it can't be that good. Farryn is weary of it actually working at all but if thats what keeping astarion happy rn, he'll play alongr
and walking around the palace, checking in on Astarion?? Oh. Farryn has realised his boyfriend is dumber than he had previously checked him for. And that doesn't mean he wants to strip astarion of choice of his own future, but it does mean he will not hold back about his judgement fjdkdkd
time to play more baldur gate!! i found out smmn funky happened with my Daeris file and i might have to redo some stuff but ah well,, more screenshot opportunities ig
but aaaa anguish and suffering. back to the act 3 farryn grind 👍 (i love him act 3 is just stressin me oooouut)
#Still skulking around the main house area because i got detoured by the baldurs gate gazette#you know how it is finding a silly sidequest.#but yeah thinking abt Farryn's relationship with Astarion is like realising this exact version of Farryn is. as nice as he gets to the worl#like. he's such a fun character that's emerged beyond “i want to play a nice character”#because. I've failed a lot at being nice.#not all the time!!! but a lot#farryn (tav)#farryn wants to believe he can do the right thing this time!!! but he cares abt Astarion's choices too#ultimately farryn doesn't want to lose astarion. hes downbad. and power corruption is something he is averse to witnessing among anyone#rambles#next update I'll put under a read more because of course i know what to expect as i progreas but I'm also like. oh man#chewing#ready to see how this pans out#i also realised i need to make food#i play this game at a gd snails pace lol
