I sometimes forget it in game because of the lighting, then I see it and go โ€œhuh wonder who gave her that!โ€ Because god knows she canโ€™t remember

Karlach pre gaming with Astarion in advance, saying they gotta go gentle on him because heโ€™s a virgin, and she knows how Astarion is about virgins, and it all goes out the window the moment he takes his shirt off.

I feel like the only true cardinal sin a fictional character can commit is being boring and annoying lol.

She definitely does. Itโ€™s just hard to see because of the makeup. Same with Cazador. Remove his eyeliner, and it becomes really obvious his family is supposed to be fantasy Japanese. Sad thing is, I think Karlach looks better without it??

I was like โ€œnever realized how tan he was until this image,โ€ but that makes sense lol. He might have actually worked well with Mediterranean or Latin American features, in retrospect.

Wonder if they thought it would possibly too strongly foreshadow the dream stranger being an illithid if they showed they could create visual disturbances and delusions.

Great character idea that his lust would center around the uncertain thrill of manipulating someone.

In my own writing, I saw him as someone who can distinguish good art, can even be at proficient at it, but who is fundamentally artless. His work might look good but be void of character and heart.

Somebody pointed out how fucked up it is that the highly unionized and protected WGA keeps adapting these games (an industry that is notoriously non-union) without using any of the original game writers who created the stories.

I did this once by accident skipping the grove and running into her, and I was immediately like LOLOLOLOL you know those kids were standing around like??? Why he so mad?? That lady is a baddie??

Itโ€™s not like HBO doesnโ€™t have prestige animation series like Scavengers Reign under its belt, either. They know it can be done.

Mostly I just want to meet the agent dumb enough to suggest Astarion to one of their actors. You KNOW itโ€™s a no win casting situation.

Really hope they wind up going to the direction of prestige animation for this because trying to do live action is just crazy given some of the fantasy visuals in it, not to mention the risk of bringing any of the OC cast in given how well received their VAs are.

I think the most baffling thing about the BG3 show announcement is that itโ€™s implied to be live. Why on earth would you try to translate that level visual fantasy to a tv medium?? Just animate it! Itโ€™ll look better, cost less, and youโ€™d already have potential VAs lined up to recommit to the roles!

The only downside to redemption run Durge/Astarion is how absolutely insufferable Astarion would be afterward having saved the world through the power of being beautiful and great in bed. Tithe him, spoil him, Faerun. Heโ€™s the reason youโ€™re not all worm brained blood bags for Bhaal. #durgestarion

Dispatch would be a nearly perfect game if not for the absurdly annoying hacking sections lol. I canโ€™t think of anything my ADHD brain enjoys less than timed puzzles.

Women have more body fat in general, so our features are going to look softer. Strong features tend to look harsher with age, so making his cheekbones rounder would youthen the face.

To whom, out of curiosity? I rarely have them together since Iโ€™m too busy letting her bully Gale in my party.

Oh yeah, to be clear, I donโ€™t see them as inherently flirty, just that all of the female characters clearly have some admiration of her strength. Using that to claim SH/Karlach is superior is silly for that reason.
