Shoutout to Baldurs Gate 3 for having a magical girl transformation sequence but instead of a teenager in a short skirt it's a lesbian aasimar paladin in full plate about to open 13 cans of fucking whoop ass

Bing Bong the Imp: A eulogy by Amelia Tyler

Amelia just keeps getting more and more amazing.

If you don't know what this is about, please do yourselves a favour and look up a two parter of BG3 playing DnD on YouTube.

Hard to concentrate on present delights when something else dominates the mind...

Why is Raphael such a dramatic little theater kid, you might ask?

Allow me to introduce you to his father: Mephistopheles.

The Archdevil who canonically employs a dragon to lounge around, looking scary, and make him look awesome.

Sooo Minthara's VA does audiobooks too right? I've been listening to some sample clips on audible 😶

[baldursyourgate]

@minthara probably up there in the list of things I've made

[baldursyourgate]

Anyway, the audio clip is from "Privacy Is Power", narrated by Minthara's VA Emma Gregory, and it is available on Audible if you're curious.

Minthara running a Data Protection induction course for the next wave of Absolute recruits. The cult's management was ahead of its time...

More BG3 vampire music

Have been going through thousands of unlabelled music tracks in game files, so thought I'd share some vampire-themed spoils that aren't on the OST.

I absolutely love this track, and I think part of it plays when you defeat an enemy while Cazador's main battle theme plays (after the little you-killed-a-foe fanfare). Not sure whether the full track plays anywhere else; don't care; it's awesome.

(The background music when you are exploring the mansion.)

Bits of it play in Cazador's arena during non-combat interactions, and the second half / chorals kick in during the ritual.

Visit Original Link

I haven't managed to catch this in the game, but the track fascinates me. The first bit replicates a part of the ritual theme (and appears in other Cazador medleys I am not posting because they are repetitive). However, 40 seconds in we get a fairly soft but uptempo version of instrumental "I want to live". I think with some degree of confidence that it's the same arrangement of "I want to live" that plays as a background for Ascended Astarion's sex scene. So maybe as a whole this is meant to be Ascended Astarion's theme but never got used?

Neil was DOOMED.

I guess it was just meant to be that his character would be drained to death by Astarion.

[volucrine]

That was so funny to watch on the stream.

Plus, I never realized that the difficulty of the ch eck goes from 5 to 15 if you let Astarion drink for longer.

havent seen anyone else share the special romance scene karlach and astarion have if you ascend astarion, it would be hilarious if it wasnt for the fact that hes so extremely cruel to her afterwards due to it taking a huge hit to his pride and he blames her for it. before this he insisted that she couldnt hurt him when she told him to be careful so lol

[volucrine]

Fun fact: in the dialogue file for this scene, the developer context notes (for voice actors) for Astarion's outburst after failing to turn Karlach in this video literally describes it as "narcissistic rage".

I would say Karlach dodged a bullet (more like nuclear warhead) here. The people we should feel sorry for are the normal Tavs who get turned into a spawn and end up under full control of a raging narcissist forevermore.

(Those times when Lord!Astarion assures Tav that he will let them become a full vampire in time, by the way? According to the developer context notes, he "doesn't really mean that")

What a dumpster fire of a relationship.

since everyone one else gets to put it on in game, here's our own emperor in the wavemother's robe

Larian let me play dress up with the emperor, pleeeeeeeease? 🥺🥺

I never get tired of this meme.

How Minthara came to serve the Absolute, her first meeting with Ketheric and Orin, and her sympathetic(!!) thoughts on Ketheric's death

The next batch of Amelia's outtakes has dropped, and they are excellent as always.

[volucrine]

Quick sanity check required:

Am I right in thinking that there is no way of continuing the romance with Ascended!Astarion without accepting his "offer" to turn Tav into vampire spawn?

It certainly seems that way from the post-Black Mass dialogue files. But at the same time Lord Astarion's final romance dialogue file seems to have branches that involve asking him to turn Tav at that point. Or even him going to Hell with Karlach when she is played as an origin character (and Karlach can't be turned into a spawn at all). So I'm starting to question my sanity and would appreciate a confirmation.

(BTW, before anyone gets too excited, it really doesn't look like content blocked by a bug but rather character options they writers have probably decided against due to them being frankly a bit OOC.)

Karlach: Sorry if this is rude, but... can vampires fall in love

Astarion: What a preposterous question. Vampires can do anything you can do, and a damn sight better.

Karlach: Sunbathe? Swim?

Astarion: All right, there are a few limited exceptions.

Karlach: Good to know love is on the table though.

Astarion: It is. Though if the table is laden with good wine and meat, love is often left to rot with the salad leaves.
