One Of My Favorite Astarion Lines When You Select Him Has To Be The More Like Drizzt DONTUrden! One.

One of my favorite Astarion lines when you select him has to be the “More like Drizzt DON’T’Urden!” one. Not because it’s actually funny, but because there’s never anything Drizzt Do’Urden related happening whenever he says it. He’s just Thinking About Him.

I've been thinking about Astarion's weird obsession with virgins. He makes several references to them throughout the game, and it always caught my attention as being a bit odd and have since come to 3 possible conclusions:

1. Virgins, assuming they were eager to not be virgins anymore, would have made for easy targets. Their lack of experience (sexually speaking) would have made them easy to manipulate and lure back to the palace. Also, they probably would have been gentler than he says some of his other targets were and it would have been unlikely that they would hurt him.

2. Sebastian was a virgin when they met. There is no doubt in my mind that Astarion truly cared for Sebastian, and perhaps he left such a lasting impression that it made Astarion more inclined to virgins as a whole.

3. On the flip side of point 1, virgins, if they were content to remain virgins, would have been the only ones not to expect anything from him. Perhaps he dreams of a virgin romantic partner because he imagines they would not pressure him into doing anything sexual. My thinking about this stems from his line if you try to sacrifice him to BOOAL in act 1 where he says "and I want to wake up beside a handsome virgin every morning". If he were waking up beside this hypothetical individual in the morning and they were still a virgin, that would mean that they'd gone to bed together but didn't have sex. He really wants to have someone who is content to simply sleep beside him, and nothing more.

Idk these are just my thoughts about these lines, since I couldn't stop thinking about them.

i wanna watch merlin from arthur's perspective. just imagine your servant/best friend who you're like 90% sure is a complete idiot and yet is constantly saving your life or making miraculous get aways and sometimes he says really strange cryptic things that are actually kind of wise? and he's always just...there when shit's going down even though he never really does anything as far as you know.

"my durge gave into the urge because they're power hungry"

"my durge gave into the urge because they love killing"

my durge gave into his urges because he's pathetic. he's a sad little wet cat of a half-drow who was too scared to resist. i love him.

me on my way to do another playthrough where i make all the same choices and play the same class and romance the same character but my tav looks different so it's different i swear
