It never fails to amuse me that Astarion is just a more posh version of Neil.

I love the moment of consent in the Sharess’ Caress scene with Astarion feeling able to say no when he expresses that he isn’t comfortable doing anything with the drow twins yet. I really appreciate this line for his character considering Astarion’s past of being controlled and used by Cazador, and his struggle rediscovering his ability to make his own choices after escaping Cazador. This game has amazing writers along with incredible actors! 😊 Neil and Tom, thanks for always making this a safe and inclusive space! These playthroughs are always a highlight of my day. Neil secretly sneaking items to Tom cracks me up! 😂

Neil making me crack up when he frowned after Astarion said “no” to the twins😭😭😭😭

@@Louves192 I think he’d be open to trying things for his own enjoyment after his personal quest but he still needs time to heal and to really enjoy sex in this case. That said I don’t find it all that bad letting him try and do it. He finds himself still not enjoying it but not that he is objecting to trying.

@@Louves192 yeah, I think people just really want him to be poly. But in my opinion, the developers should have chosen for this someone without such extreme sexual trauma. I think it suffers from being a very late addition in the process. For example, both Shadowheart and Minthara think he doesn't want to share Tav at all.

Raphael's VA is insanely talented

Neil: Ooh, a flophouse. Asterion's supposed to look for his people in a place like this. 10 minutes later: Have Asra talk to those people while do thievery upstairs.

Tom’s right, Astarion is secretly a sweetheart (if you play that way - lol)

Those expressions while putting junk in Asra's unknowing pocket are pretty great drawing references.

Tom getting immediately arrested made me laugh so much 🤣 Neil on the steal and Asra getting arrested 🤭🤣 Brilliant as always! Nice to chat to everyone as well, we figured out the emperor definitely plays elevator music 24/7 via the tadpole 🤣

Kinda sucks they savescum that part tho. Kills the "roleplay" aspect a little bit.

32:58 Neil doing that “try to convince your sibling that an item they have isn’t as good as the one you have, hoping they’ll swap and you end up with the actual better item”

I saw the siblings in the flophouse and was like, No! Dal! Petras! Come on Astarion!

Asra, the unwitting collector of spoiled food 😂

By the times Neil would of reached Tom to bust him out of prison, Tom would of been able to pull off a Shawshank style escape hidden behind a poster of Gortash in his cell 😂

done w these timestamps: 0:26 introduction (that Blue didn't delete, it seems, hehe) and Tom whispering, snailed it 5:46 Run. 6:54 Asra's in jail. Ironic. Poor Gale. Reload. 14:35 Manip 17:04 Astarion's remark on the flop house: "I found so many victims for Cazador here. They're the kind of people no one would ever miss." It reminds me of how cult members tend to target similar victims- the unmissed and the desperate. 17:23 Griska, Neil being savvy about how most RPG merchants just accept buying anything from you 19:45 tenant rules 20:09 Drim 21:50 Moliver 25:08 looting as usual 25:49 reading a piece of parchment about killings 27:09 Bow'ee finds a body under the bed.

'cause you look like shit." 30:19 a Bhaal thing to do, really 30:52 Tom reading about bargaining with devils while Neil opens another book 32:01 I keep that ring with me for roleplaying reasons. 38:37 Tom accidentally leaving Lae'zel on a roof because she couldn't go down 39:42 **Neil's expressions here as he reverse pickpockets Tom again are GREAT** 42:19 Yeah, Matt Mercer did that with the stack method.

Yeah its kinda funny, but he also acted A.Astarion and probably a lot of scenes that got removed or altered in some ways. Can't really blame him for losing track of what made it into the final version of the game. You also have to consider the narrator gives a lot of context and Neil only knows his own lines (like if you take Astarion to the twins post quest he will agree and promise to tell you if its too much for him, but then the narrator tells you he disassociates while he says nothing).

@gracew.1468

Well he probably only remembers he did the same scene after the Cazador quest when Astarion would just go for it, and the comments "you dare dance with the professional, you'll get what you want" and a few more lines during that scene. Those lines are more specific and more memorable to be fair.

Not me waiting for Neil to finally call the hollyphant by her first name, since it's my first name as well 😂

i met neil on friday and i'm still not over it. love your streams and all of your shenanigans. ✨

Neil, please don't re-traumatize Astarion.

Back at it with the fun facts; Have Karlack in your party when you meet the steel watch for some extra lore. (If you're playing w/ the unlimited party mod have her in the top 4)

the thumbnail... we know what that means

I’ve been missing the livestreams so I’m excited to be in time for this one!

Aaaaah nice! Had to pop off the stream, so i am happy to watch the whole thing here!!! Always comforts my soul❤

I did the brother and sister with halsin and spent the next hr running around naked cringing while his ding dong Flopping around 😂my mom was dying laughing. Not sure if that was a glitch or not😂but I still had my gear equipped to me. Was funny at first when fighting 😂

This’ll be good

Uhhhhh...I definitely thought those were something other than fingers in that ghastly bottle at first, LOL. Would've totally made the Open Hand questline more interesting. 👀

Congratulations!

Asra lost their Forever Alone buff

I dont get how neil doesnt know what astarion is gonna say! He recorded the lines lol they really didnt clue him in did they? 😂

At 50:00. How, how, HOW???? Does Neil not understand????? This hurts, a lot. Considering how often he speaks of being seen. How has he forgotten his own character?

Poor Drow, little did they know, Stari's Mask is off, and he is protective of his body, heart, and undead Soul... Bowie, just needs to be understanding. ❤️‍🩹🗡️🗡️ 👁️ 👁️ 🩸 🍷🍷 Please, pet, I really can't right now. ❤❤❤❤

Hey, uh... I dunno how you forgot the reason/s why Astarion wouldn't be into a foursome, lol. I know it's been years, but still.

Stop dividing people into LGBT and non-LGBT, as well as by political views, the world will be a better place that way and you will get more followers because who divides, lose. Bye! 👋
