I love Karlach's response in confessinf that you're a vampire. HOW DID SHE SPENT 10 YEARS IN AVERNUS AND STILL BE SO DAMN SWEET.

big mad furnace. oh my god I love it

Lmao Lae'zel sounds borderline aroused by the revelation

i liked the new dialogues from the companions, but it’s so weird not hearing Astarion talk

I love how it's not that Astarion would bite someone 's neck in combat that tips Lae'zel off, it's the fact that she inspected it closer afterwards and found that there were telltale signs of Astarion's bite being one of a vampire lmao

Ok, Shadowheart is the

Wyll complimenting Astarion while talking about cutting off his head is so in-character LOL

I'm actually doing a run to see how far I can get as Astarion without being found out or confessing

Probably one of the only features I won't delve in, playing as an origin character other than Durge. Voice acting is phenomenal my guy.

I love that Wyll is kind of excited about it lmao

Astarion: "Guys I-I have to confess, I'm-I'm a vampire 🥺"

Confessing to Wyll and Wyll says "not even the blade of frontiers is immune to your not-inconsiderable charms"

“A lesser man would sever that well coiffed head from your neck without a moment’s hesitation.”

the 'a normal elf, an innocent elf' bit made me chuckle

His face after Shadowheart says "Peckish??" 😂

I sometimes forget you can play as these guys. Hearing karlach be so sweet to astarion is

I wish there was the option to say "I was worried people might turn up with torches and pitchforks" when the companiens ask why he did not tell them

Such a shame there is no voice on the original characters. Would love to hear how Astarion actually talks his way out of these. but then again, I reckon Larian would release this in 2028 rather than now. Imagine failing persuasion/deception/performance and the voices change and stutter. I would be willing to bet also that the voice actors would be exhausted after it all if this would be the case. Either way, I can only dream :)

I accidentally did the "reveal through biting" when I started a playthrough a Origin Astarion right at the start of Act 1. 😁 After Astarion had fallen out of the Nautiloid and woken up on a sunlit beach and freaked out a bit, he "recruited" Shadowheart as his protector, then the two confronted the "brain things" in the crashed Nautiloid and got swarmed by them. Due to some spectacular misses by our heroes (cough) and critical hits by the intellect devourers, Astarion and Shadowheart got their asses handed to them. They managed to kill off all but one devourer, but the creature would be up next in initiative after Astarion and any attack from it would either kill SH or him. Astarion had already used up his weapon attack, had no action left to cast his elven cantrip either, and shoving the creature with his puny 08 STR wouldnt do much good. In desperation I looked at his available remaining actions and found... his bite attack. "Hey," I thought, "that will also restore some of his hitpoints, right? Let's do it!"

There’s also different responses from them if you just straight up bite them (tho they disapprove). They will immediately confront you. Gales one is quite funny.
