Halsin with a tummy. Halsin with a belly. Halsin with a hairy soft belly. Halsin with a bit of pubic fat. Not ripped Halsin.
(The man is literally a bear that hibernates during winter and has had problems with overeating and over-indulging (and those things rarely go away on its own, so I'm sure it's still in his mentality.) Larian, give him a bigger belly. Give him a BIG belly even. Larian, get rid of those damn abs. They're like a jumpscare to me every time I see them. He's way too ripped. So is Gale. So is Astarion (though there I can HC why he's like that—Cazador forced him to look conventionally attractive to lure more prey. He also wanted a prettier doll to have fun with himself.)
#halsin#bg3#every time I see his muscles I'm ???#dude I'm sure he's good at chopping threes if needed#larian you know NOTHING#I need more body types in the game for sure#where are all non ironically fat characters#why are they always either skinny or ripped#we don't see a single person who even looks average aka doesn't have visible abs!#astarion#gale#baldur's gate 3

POV: Your evil murder kitten's mask has slipped and you can see how deep she is drowning in fear and paranoia.
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#minthara#minthara baenre#evil murder kitten#a lot of people forget that minthara has some pretty intense anxiety and PTSD#it truly does bother me that her trauma is often overlooked by the fandom#and many do not see the parallels she has with the other companions (ie Astarion Shadowheart and Lae'zel)#there is no way in hell she did not have some flashbacks in the mind flayer colony#or after seeing Orin as one of the impersonators#one of the biggest Larian L's is not having orin acknowledge minthara if she is in your party (or at all in the game)#minthara will also say nothing mid conversation with orin and only talks about her afterwards#i know that this is larian just not thinking to record or write any dialogue for this#but i've always rationalized it as minthara is just that terrified of orin and is too afraid to speak to her#minthara herself is extremely terrifying and powerful and yet she is terrified of orin#do you have any idea just how badly orin had to have hurt her for minthara of all people to be scared of her?#i also cannot stress this enough: minthara was never a willing participant in anything orin did to her#anything the two may have done together was because minthara was compelled by the tadpole to do#sorry for ranting in the tags - it will happen again

it really is hilarious how little objective quality has to do with how much I'll love an RPG. larian makes games that are objectively very good, but don't really resonate with me personally when I play them, for whatever reason. bioware makes games of wildly erratic levels of quality that cause my soul to vibrate at pitches heard only by dolphins and god.
#I played through the majority of divinity original sin 2 and you could hold me at gunpoint and I still wouldn't remember much of anything#about what the fuck the story was about. I was on a ship at several points and there was a haunted house.#ifan is hot and the dumbest man who ever lived. that's about it#I played ALL of divinity original sin 1 and it's almost a complete blank. I have no memory of this place. who is this woman tegan#meanwhile I have been through the insane open worlds and bloated crafting systems of da:i and me:a more times than sanity should allow#and you know the real fucked up thing? *whisper* I'll do it again. I'll go back to the hinterlands of my own free will#I'll go shard hunting. I'll play dragon age 2 again and again b/c I'd buy a dlc about all the characters in that going grocery shopping#the heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing#I guess they got me early with jade empire and that's all she wrote I imprinted or something#I have a vague feeling I don't vibe with the larian pacing maybe? their games tend to open with a bang and then get interminable for me#(again: clearly this is not about me actually having taste or standards for pacing I've played da:i more than seven times lol#very much a thing about me more than about either of these games)#no matter what I'm so grateful to bg3 for bringing the crpg back tho and I hope the industry follows that up#(granted after recent developments the industry might crash and burn and have a little postapocalypse rebuilding to do#before it becomes truly relevant ahahaaaaa god. god.)

the only time minthara "good" recruitment doesn't work is if she doesn't have any lines at all addressing halsin or wyll or karlach or fixing the shadow-cursed lands, all of which are impossible if the player recruits her the "normal" way.
but those lines exist. way back in release patch 1. those weren't added in future patches. it's always been there.
so i don't get how making minthara recruitable in a "good" run is watering her down. even when she's recruited in a "good" run, she's still pretty damn evil (compared to your average tadpoled companion).
#.txt#“good” is in quotation marks bc u can still be “evil” anyways in that run. like nothing is stopping you#from doing other evil things in act 2 or act 3#i still havent played good recruitment minthara but i do know from some clips and gifsets that her personality is pretty much the same#as when you recruit her in an evil run#the problem is larian not having anything to do in an actually evil playthrough#but in terms of narrative and character personality it doesnt not make sense

Baldur's Gate 3 Ending Spoilers Ahead :)
Okay why The Fuck can't we have a romance ending with the Emperor. Why THE FUCK NOT. WHY. THIS IS UNFAIR. LARIAN YOU ALLOWED ME TO FUCK THE GUY, YOU ALLOWED ME TO TRUST HIM AND BE THERE FOR HIM AND TURN INTO A MINDFLAYER MYSELF, AND THEN I CAN'T HAVE A ROMANCE ENDING? THE FUCK???
#okay the fact that he basically goes 'do your thing and I'll be waiting for you for as long as it takes' is sweet but#BUT#I TURNED INTO AN ILLITHID TO SAVE HIS STUPID TENTACLY ASS#(and not to have to kill Lae'zel either)#I LITERALLY TOOK THE BURDEN UPON MYSELF FOR THOSE TWO IDIOTS AND BECAME SQUID#I did all that PLUS I forsook my romance with Lae'zel and then the game fucking ends with A LETTER?#NOT EVEN AN IN-PERSON GOODBYE?#LARIAN??? HELLOOOO?#I had a whole sequence of Karlach going to Avernus with Wyll which don't get me wrong I'm glad she's fine!#I was so scared she was going to die!#but why is that the only cutscene I get#nothing about the other characters and most of all NOTHING ABOUT THE EMPEROR#the narrator goes 'you won't have to face this burden alone anymore' and my shippy ass was already smiling ear to ear#thinking 'cause I'll be with the Emperor right'#'I'll be with the Emperor right...?'#and then cuts to black. what the fuck. What the actual fuck.#Larian you buffoons shouldn't have let me have sex with him if you didn't have a romance ending. No I'm serious I feel scammed#'Zero are you really complaining about not having a romance ending with the tentacle fucking thing' YES#YES DO YOU KNOW ME YES HE'S THE BEST CHARACTER IN THAT GAME

holy water, 25000 gold worth of diamonds, and a ninth level spell slot? a small price to pay for astarion being able to walk in the sun.
#larian capped it at level 12 so that we couldnt cure astarion of his vampirism actually#it has nothing to do with how broken the rest of the higher level spells are i swear#sorry this has been on my brain for so long that i had to go and check sage advice to see if vampires could even be restored#i think astarion is on the cusp of that 200 years but you know what i dont care.

the romance/relationship system in bg3 is genuinely some of the worst designed shit i've ever seen in any game with that feature but at least the memes we get out of it are funny. once saw someone comment something along the lines of 'patch note: waving at gale will no longer cause him to buy a house for the two of you to retire in' and i've never recovered since
#i love gale he doesn't deserve (most of) the incel slander#but it's painfully such a good riff because it really really does feel like that#the player choices being a b/w alternation between 'hey there' and 'YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF... NOW!' normally is already comical as is#the fact that it carries over into interactions with the party members who you're presumably trying to be close with is... something else#and what makes it worse is it ISN'T jokey hyperbole. anyone remember 'send a mental image of you kissing him or HIS HEAD ON A PIKE.' c'mon#trying to chat and vibe at the refugee camp celebration and the sum of conversation i get is one (1) line asking how they're doing#because going any further than that elicits marking you down for the path of boning take it or leave it#it's genuinely so hard to get to feel like you can deepen a relationship with the characters in ways that aren't trying to pursue them#yes! halsin! i really want to know you better! i just don't want the ass!! why is trying to hit the only option other than up and leaving!!#99% of the time i expect nothing from media creators in terms of writing interactive relationships#larian are beyond parody in that they've somehow managed to do worse than the already suboptimal majority#we're just going to impose the roadblock of do you want to fuck y/n right off the bat. good luck finding a way to talk around that if not#the obscuration surrounding where exactly the checks are really does not help at all either#when the shit's got even the allos complaining about it you know it's BAD#shame because i was excited for character scenes given that's a lot of what's hyped up about the game#but no it's all just the romances. 'what if i'd like to breathe in someone's general direction-' well now have you heard of our romances?#fish fear them party members fear them and tav is going to have to walk alone on this sinful earth#conservative bigoted relative at the family reunion withers era was a fucking time before they tweaked that line speaking of#just so crazy they can get away with this shit#baldur's gate 3#bg3 liveblog

"Weeeh! I wanna recruit Minthara on a good playthrough! Weeeh! I don't like the ultimatum and want to keep both Minthara and Halsin! Weeeh! I wanna make Minthara good! Weeeh! I don't want Minthara to break up with me!" Minthara deserves more content but none of these things are at all what she needs or deserves. No, these are all things that you want for yourself, but do absolutely nothing for her. This is one of the biggest L's in the game and it will forever enrage me because I just know it will never happen.
Minthara deserves to confront Orin like all the other companions do with their abusers. She deserves to scream and yell at Orin. She deserves to cut at her the same way Orin did, make her bleed and scream in pain. Minthara deserves to torture Orin, just as she did her in the mind flayer colony. Minthara deserves the right to roll up to the Temple of Bhaal and beat the shit out of Orin with her bare hands. Leave Orin begging for mercy in which Minthara will not even give her a drop. To slam Orin down on that altar and slice her throat, offer her up as a sacrifice to the father she is so blindly devoted to.
And yes, Minthara would be afraid. She would be TERRIFIED. Despite how strong and powerful Minthara is, she is also the only one afraid of Orin. Unlike Ketheric, or Gortash, or Sarevok, she is the only one who fully acknowledges just how dangerous Orin actually is and does not underestimate her. She will walk down into that temple, intending to duel Orin with a massive disadvantage because she is terrified.
Minthara choked when seeing Orin again in the mind flayer colony. She choked when seeing Orin as an imposter, throwing her deep into the ocean of paranoia and fear. And she is so entrenched in paranoia that it actually becomes palpable to everyone around her, even you. She describes herself as paranoid, but this is the first that you actually see how paranoid she is. And she choked again when Orin kidnapped someone in camp, making her feel inadequate, making a mockery of her for being unable to protect one of her own. And every day that passes, the more and more likely that the victim is going to die and she has doubts on their survival.
At every possible avenue in which Minthara could have done something or said something about Orin, she froze in place with fear. But she's had enough. She cannot be afraid of Orin forever and she doesn't want to be. One way or another, Orin has to die and she wants to get over that fear. She needs to know that Orin is dead, for herself.
This would also make the alurlssrin confession all the more impactful. She wants to tell you that she loves you in the best way that she can because of the very high likelihood that she will never have another chance to do so. She would beg you to come with her as you give her the courage. She has the courage to face her fears and confront her tormentor, because she knows she has you in her corner. If you have the courage to stand up to the very gods themselves, then she can stand up to Orin. Romanced or not, your presence alone is enough to give her the strength to do something she would otherwise be too terrified to do.
Minthara deserves the honor to solo duel Orin in a fight to the death. Minthara deserves the right to achieve vengeance for herself. No, I do not care that this confrontation would conflict with a Durge playthrough. In fact, it would provide a phenomenal source of some interesting, and toxic, drama between Durge and Minthara. Especially if they're in a relationship. This also does not mean that Minthara killing Orin instead of Durge would not have its consequences (because it most certainly will). Even if Minthara does not fight Orin, it would be so much better if Minthara was just given the fucking chance to yell at Orin like all the other companions in their personal quests.
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#minthara#minthara baenre#evil murder kitten#orin#orin the the red#i spend a lot of time theorizing what a good personal quest for minthara would look like#and i've even written a mock up personal quest for her#one in which could have a major impact on minthara's character and who she chooses to become in the end#but instead - all of you 'good only' players focus on the wrong things and would prefer to bastardize her character#just so you can feel better about yourselves#rather than look at what minthara needs for a proper character arc and genuine character growth#minthara's change should not nor should ever be along the lines of morality#but a deeply personal and internal one in which she makes the choice to change for herself#if minthara ever were to get more content#it absolutely should be about direct interactions and a confrontation with orin#i literally do not and cannot care about the rest#but she will never get what she actually needs because the whiny babies who don't appreciate her character#are crying and demanding all the wrong things that do absolutely nothing for her#and larian is bending over backwards and breaking her character just to make *you* happy#and denying her the justice she deserves#this is literally the only thing on my wish list for patch 7 - but i know it just won't happen#but i will hang on to the hope that i am proven wrong once it does release

Wyll’s romance IS boring but it has nothing to do with his skin color. Larian dropped the fucking ball with his character at all possible angles. he could’ve easily been an instant favorite without having to guilt people into liking him because they apparently could only add (1) black character, but they chose not to give him the same well rounded arc and romance as some of the other characters, and that’s infinitely more racist than just finding his romance storyline boring. don’t blame players for Larian’s fuck up.
#g talks#sometimes I peek into the bg3 fandom and instantly regret it#interacting with media without touching the fanbase is the way to go unfortunately#because the discourse around Wyll is so fucking predictably ignorant#and just ignores the actual problem#there’s obviously plenty of people who are just racist#but writing this complaint off as just racism from fans is fucking ridiculous#Larian fucked up bad#it’s not on players to pretend like they didn’t#the character isn’t real and won’t get their feelings hurt#you know who will?#black gamers and black dnd players who were looking forward to his character#just to have him mean next to nothing in the grand scheme of things#even early plans for karlach drew her as a black woman#and she wasn’t in the final version#I love karlach but it just lends more to the racism at Larian#this isn’t a simple ‘fans are complaining bc black’ issue#it never was#demand accountability from the devs or shut tf up#mine#/mobile#/okay to reblog

because I haven't learned my lesson I probably will be dropping $90cad on avowed next year . only difference is I actually have more faith that this game will be good bc I loved both pillars of eternity games....
#i take full responsibility for my dumb choices if the game is bad#but you know which game i am absolutely sure will be a full course meal? kingdom come deliverance 2 . i cannot wait i am shaking#i don't believe either of them will disappoint. honestly nothing could be worse than veilguard's wasted potential#six speaks#like i don't want to be cynical and mean to every new game dropping but my god can we please have good games. good games come back#i miss when bg3 was released . the world had a glimpse of a future w good games but it was not to be#bc for some reason other game devs felt threatened instead of encouraged . super weird and if i was larian i would not let that go lmao

For opening up about his feelings (i.e. a confession):
youtube
For something much closer to the "quote", the er- made-up confession in the original post:
youtube
Imagine your f/o opening up about their feelings towards you in a late night conversation or early morning reflection together. "I'll always choose you. The truth is, you mean more to me than you know, and you are incredibly important to me. I love seeing every part of you and being able to know you, it makes me happy that we've become as close as we are. I hope you know that you will always have me. "
#astarion#like it still hits me after all this time. no matter *how* many times i watch these scenes (and others not included here)#like bg3 fucking Feeds us. and boy are we *Fed*.#the previous character i was so in love with (and still am) - og mcu loki. there was nothing like this.#i mean obviously right?#until the loki series he didn't get someone paired with him but they then...#his character had been completely assassinated and sickly twisted into some completely unrecognizable clown#and his beloved other none other than a terrible abusive piece of shit#but getting back to the point: basically mcu could *never*#end *in* the loki series. Nothing was even *close* to any of this.#and yet bg3 goes allll the way and more.#how many other fandoms can say that?#how many other fans can say they literally have video of their fav character saying not only that they love them but saying sooo much more#bg3 just absolutely fucking Delivers and my god is an amazing 5-star buffet of content#thank you *so* much larian. this means waaay more than you know#(this is a gift you know. *thank* you. i **won't** forget it. ;.;)#Youtube

one last opportunity to destroy karlach's expectations god bless
#bg3 spoilers#karlach. honey.#if she expected better from el after everything he did. ahaha.#MATTHEW MERCER????????#final review uhh it was. shockingly fun to be awful#ive been a 'cant hurt my companions feelings or else ill die' kinda guy for most of my life#but the dark urge's particular brand of evil if you choose to go down that path is just so addicting#larian if you ever choose to make dlc for this game pleaseeeeeee#you dont know how much money i would spend just for a moment more of el#i do understand where a lot of the criticism comes from#the bugs & performance issues in act 3 i could look past#and i have enjoyed games with FAR worse flaws#but some of the combat encounters are unforgivable. im sorry#larian i love you but have you considered um. balancing your encounters better#or just make an additional difficulty level for idiots like me#all in all this game was SO worth the 80 bucks. holy shit#man i jsut. fuck dude#stares at the fix-it fic ideas which are really making it worse for everyone except for el fics#some things that happened do have me reaching for google docs but its a rare piece of media indeed to make me not do that#some things i didnt like but nothing so outrageous i dont feel like immediately switching to a different character#and playing through the whole thing again#even though its almost 10 am and i havent slept#good game!#i dont expect a bg4 to be a direct sequel if it ever comes into existence (what bg2 is to bg1) and if it does end up being that#itll be connected to the destroy ending. obviously. so pre-canon or during the game dlc??? heist in hell dlc when larian#im still on this i want to see pre canon dark urge. and i want to see el be disgustingly in love in that fucked up way of his#i like the replayability in this game at least now that i finished a playthrough i dont feel empty#i just want to continue a different one
