Dammon is being rather cheeky here...

Let's admit it, Dammon would be this mischievous in bed, if not more.

1, 7, 29!!!! For the dialogue-ey ask :3

From the Tav Banter and Dialogue ask !

All written for Vanquish

1. Clicking on them once (non-combat)

"Can I help you?" "Hands off, love." "Caiphon sees, I speak." "Saw you in my dreams."

7. Attacked by a party member

"You're playing with fire, and I bloody hate fire." "Are you blind as well as asking for it?" "Ooh, harder." "Careful, Caiphon's watching."

29. Party banter with Lae'zel

Going with Van's canon story that she and Voss get together :>

Act 1 Lae'zel: I observed you were asleep with your eyes open last night. Is that something you teef-ling do? Vanquish: (laughs) do you just watch us istik sleep for fun? Lae'zel: And my kin. It was important growing up to know who really sleeps and those who are good at pretending to. Vanquish: And I threw you for a loop? Lae'zel: If that means 'confused me' then yes. Gale: Is no-one going to address the need to know who fake sleeps and who does not. Vanquish or Astarion: Makes sense to me.

---

Lae'zel: You never answered why you sleep with your eyes open. Vanquish: If in doubt, the answer is always Caiphon. Lae'zel: Your patron? Vanquish: I sleep, Caiphon wakes, sees. I've been told speaks, too. Lae'zel: Sleeping next to you must be irritating. Vanquish: Why don't you try it sometime. Lae'zel: Chk.

Act 2

Lae'zel: You're just a tool to him. Something necessary he needs. Vanquish: Maybe I'm okay with that. Lae'zel: An istik with such little self respect? How dull. Vanquish: I just know what I want, Lae'zel. Do you?

---

Lae'zel: You seem more familiar with my kin and our customs than most. Vanquish: Live long enough and you'll meet plenty of strange faces, Lae'zel. Lae'zel: Tiefling's lifespans are nothing compared to most other races are they not? Vanquish: Yeah. I decided that wasn't for me. Lae'zel: And just how old are you? Vanquish: Open me up and see. Karlach: (laughs) What a line, plum.

Act 3

Lae'zel: Have you told Kith'rak Voss about the ghaik? Vanquish: Working on it. Lae'zel: Trying to get yourself another impaling before you stop lying? Vanquish: (laughs) I'm not lying, it's just omission. Know the difference, Lae'zel. Lae'zel: Do you think he'll care about the difference?

---

Vanquish: What does the tir'su tattoo on Orpheus' chest mean, Lae'zel? Lae'zel: It's an old word from our beginnings; t'lak'var. It means- Vanquish: Freedom. Severance. Lae'zel: Chk. Have you been reading my slates, again? Vanquish: Something like that.

[vitanithepure]

if the origin companions where fruits they would be...?

Lae'zel - a kiwi! The hard, sour type

Wyll - a peach! The soft and sweet variety

Karlach - red habanero! You can't tell me peppers are not fruits!

Astarion - a coconut!

Shadowheart - an apple! Of the super crunchy, dry but sweet varienty (green? lol, I am not an expert on apples)

Gale - grapes! The ones that have this spicy aftertaste, I think the purple ones had it?

[gith-egg]

what if - hear me out here - tieflings have claws like dogs (they grow basically like a human fingernail, just more claw-shaped) but githyanki have claws like cats (the outermost layer sheds periodically to keep them sharp)

[blujayonthewing]

I actually cannot believe how fucking powerfully baldur's gate has gripped me

[lixbf]

so uhm i mightve gotten baldurs gate and. is there a way to like undo your choice of agreeing to sleeping w a character at that party. bc i didnt think my approval w shadowheart was high enough for the dialogue options to be abt that and like shes cool and all that but i mean. i dont wanna sleep with her

[valentineveils]

cant decide between which one to go with so poll time ^-^ [both r oath of the ancients]

Lae'zel | Shadowheart | Minthara | Karlach

✦ boys edition!

Commission : Open

[y-rhywbeth2]

Been thinking about Durge romances and how much I love the companions. Many people love Astarion's response when Durge gets their "kill your lover in their sleep" scene and, fair, that was the point that I unfortunately began to genuinely love the pointy bastard. I do enjoy watching him sass Bhaal. Plus you being the only one he's not afraid of in the world and also "we can compare notes" because he recognises what's happening, yes, yes.

And additional honourable mentions to Lae'zel and Karlach:

Lae'zel threatening to bite you back and informing you that if you don't beat Bhaal you will be fighting her and that will be much worse, topped with the gem of "Not to be maudlin, but I'm glad I didn't gut you."

Karlach asking you not to bite her because trying to eat her flesh will hurt you. also she growls back at you. and asking what the fuck you're talking about when Durge goes into one of their, uh, poetic moods. And parallels: "It's bad. I won't say it isn't. But... I've done worse. Powers beyond our control picked us to do their dirty work - that isn't our fault." I mean Durge has absolutely done worse, but I concede the gist of your argument.

But my favourite variants are these three (in no particular order):

Shadowheart's "Hells, what I wouldn't give for a boring lover sometimes" shortly before scolding you - "no biting!" Bad hellspawn! Bad! Use your words! - It's the middle of the night, she's tired, and she expected something way more fun that this damnit. (also; "She was starting to trust you. The only one she ever has. Pity it's coming to an end." *screaming*)

Wyll reminds us he's the one with the high charisma stat in this party with his pep talks: "The coast would sooner be swallowed whole by the Sea of Swords [before I'd hate you]." - "Rise up, meet its gaze. Show it no fear, and grant it no mercy." - "You are a champion. If this foe demands blood, then tear off its limbs and let it drink its own!" Never been more revved up to punch Bhaal in the face, thank you. And Sceleritas directly compares himself to Mizora and aAhHHHhhhhh-!

And then there's Gale, who clearly has no idea what's happening or what do about it. Get it out of your system, he says, trying his best to be supportive. "This is not good, if I may state the obvious." - "No, no clotting. I like my blood flowing in my veins, thank you most kindly." He would prefer not to die, thank you. 10/10. Durge is way too distracted by this to listen to Bhaal right now.

Tried to doodle Lae'zel

Hello, Trick or Treat! (⁠ ⁠ˊ⁠ᵕ⁠ˋ⁠ ⁠)づ🎃

I shall take your BG3 headcanons

Late reply but here's one!

Lae'zel doesn't have a sweet tooth per se, but I think she would like to bake. It's a very structured activity and very comforting, and I thinn it might be a nice bit of routine to help her adjust from leaving the military cult she was raised in.

Also the imagery of her wearing oven mitts is cute.

@astreamofstars suggested my next dive into the parsed dialogue files should be looking at the various Vicious Mockery lines available for player characters, and the ways the different companion character VAs speak them. This turned out to be quite challenging, as there are a LOT of them!

There are a total of 97 unique Vicious Mockery lines, each of which was recorded by all ten companion character VAs PLUS all twelve custom character VAs, for a total of 2,134 recorded lines, which is wild. (This is not including Ethel's 60 unique Vicious Mockery lines as well, which brings the total to 2,194.)

In this video, I've collected all 97 VM lines across all ten companion VAs, along with notes (where applicable) on things like

references to Shakespeare (or other pieces of media)

places where BG3 continues a time-honored tradition of the series by butchering archaic English grammar

interesting inconsistencies between the VAs or with the written dialogue

(If you notice any references I missed, please let me know and I might edit the video! :D )

In making this video, I ended up listening to all these lines a LOT, and I do love that some definite patterns emerge which are very on-brand for the characters in question.

Astarion often sounds deeply disdainful and at times almost bored. He barrels through some of the lines as if he doesn't think the recipient of his insult is even worth his time. (Also him calling someone a "parchment-pallored villain" is a bit rich, don't you think? :P )

Gale is deeply pleased with his own cleverness and laughs at his own jokes.

In my opinion, Dave Jones by far most Understood The Assignment; Halsin bellows out the lines like a Shakespearean actor playing to the back row and really relishes the language.

Jaheira is in full mother-tiger voice and clearly ready to kick ass and take names; she's not messing around. (With one exception - I have been laughing over Tracy Wiles's reading of "Mouthier than an arse, twice as full o' shite" for the entire duration of this project, because solely for that line she sounds like she's been possessed by some unknown force and is utterly baffled by the words coming out of her own mouth.)

Karlach reads most of these lines as either battle-cry or schoolyard taunt and seems utterly delighted in both cases. I enjoy that she adds a fun roll on her r's to sound all mockingly fancy.

Lae'zel generally sounds like she's about to rip someone's throat out and often seems completely oblivious to the humor involved, even on lines like the delightful pun, "As the leg, you'll end in defeat."

Minsc definitely doesn't know what most of these words mean but he makes up for it in enthusiasm. I enjoy that "Mouthier than an arse" becomes "mouthier than a butt" only for him. XD

Minthara, like Lae'zel, is mostly not coming at this from a place of amusement; she's MAD. She sounds like a judge handing down sentence in the most disdainful manner possible. (That said, she has my favorite deliveries on some of the lines with timing-related humor: "Thou art saucy... as gruel," "Thine eyes! Pools of tepid piss," "Like a summer's day... thou art sweaty," etc.)

Shadowheart just sounds deeply offended that her target is existing anywhere near her. She's practically spitting on all her plosive consonants and it's delightful.

Wyll sounds remarkably fierce given how nice a dude he is, but a lot of his lines have some righteous indignation (appropriate for a former noble and the Blade of Frontiers) - or he just sounds like he pities his opponent. His reading of "It vexes me to know of you" is my favorite of the whole cast; he just sounds so disbelieving of his target's stupidity.

Overall I think my favorite of these lines is towards the end: "Your body's a temple - to an idiot god!" All ten companions really stick the landing on that one. :D

Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy.

Connecticut Tav | Wood Half-Elf | Beast Master Ranger

So, this is my sheet for @bareee's @tav-dex. Went a little overboard and made a whole ass character sheet (man the last time I made one of those was so long ago). I want to write something about my cringe boy so. Buckle up because it's going to be long and poorly written (I suck at writing).

One edit because I'm a dummy, his alignment is neutral good not true neutral idk why I did that.

He was born and raised in his mom's and step-dad's tavern called Crow's Perch (not as fancy as Elf Song but in a different category as Blushing Mermaid)(the tavern thing is just for the sake of a joke that the most popular drink they serve is called 'Connecticut Water'). He has an older brother, who's a bard. Despite the description for Urchin background ("After surviving a poor and bleak childhood") he had a happy childhood, filled with love and support. The two brothers treated the whole Lower City as their playground: breaking into places just for fun, pick pocketing nobles, climbing Wyrm's Rock Fortress etc.

His love for beasts and creatures of any kind comes from the stories told by his step-dad (both him and Tav's mom are retired adventurers). Step dad was the one who told Tav about Darkmaw the Wicked *wink wink*.

At one point he got tired of the city life and decided he wanted to become a ranger. After successfully fulfilling some contracts he became so confident of his skills he tried to build a trap all by his own. The trap exploded right into his face (he himself has no idea how it didn't kill him or damaged his eyes). After that he was sulking in his hunting hut for a month. The experience humbled the boy. Most of his adventuring prior to the nautiloid could just be boiled down to hanging around one village and talking local boars out of destroying potato fields, and occasionally getting rid of poachers.

Before the abduction he was on his way to Baldur's Gate to see his family (which he hasn't seen in months).

Trivia (because it's easier to write stuff this way):

His hair started to go grey at the start of Act 3 from the weight of responsibility and stress.

In Act 1 he was corresponding with his family thanks to Faust. After entering The Underdark he stopped sending letters (In Underdark because it would be hard, in Act 2 because he didn't want the bird to be killed by Shadow Curse).

Despite being close to his family in Act 3, he didn't visit them or send any messages in fear that Gortash and/or Orin would hurt them.

He carries with him a razor and some fancy oils for his beard.

His brother wrote one ballad about him, soon after that Tav forbid him from writing more (it was very much not accurate).

His step-dad taught him how to fight with a sword, while his mom taught him archery and the art of stealth.

Tav's biological father died when he was very young so he has barely any memory of him.

Tav's a walking Merlin app, he can identify any bird by just listening to it.

He loves climbing trees. Either to rest on a branch or to scout the surroundings.

He loves picking up herbs and making potions.

Despite growing up in a tavern he's not much of a drinker.

He's very self-conscious about his height and chest-to-belly area. He tries his best not to show it.

At one point he was persona non grata at Sharess' Caress.

He enjoys fishing.

Sir Daisy Dewdrop Fluffington is a name of his childhood plush.

He knows how to play lanceboard (he often plays against Gale and tries to teach it to Wyll).

He draws in his journal. He drew all of his companions at least once.

He almost cried when Jaheira called him 'cub' and almost called her 'mom' in response.

He's scared of Lae'zel. But tries his best to understand and help her.

He had countless heart-to-hearts with Karlach.

In his journal he described Astarion as 'his equal on the battlefield'.
