Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 decides that Astarion is canonically stupid Larian Studios \/ DexertoOne of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s most popular companions has had his head analysed, and the results are clear: the guy\u2019s brain is smooth. Astarion has been a fan-favorite party member ever since Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was first released. He\u2019s become one of the most recognizable characters in gaming in a very short amount of time, and voice actor Neil Newbon was even nominated for best performance at this year\u2019s Game Awards. It\u2019s gotten to the point where Astarion makes up a majority of all Baldur\u2019s Gate fanfiction, all on his own. Players are drawn to his personality and backstory as a vampire spawn, and his narrative only gets stronger as the game progresses. It\u2019s just as well people don\u2019t necessarily love Astarion for his brain power, because, as some players have been discovering, he\u2019s confirmed to have a very smooth brain in the lore of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Astarion canonically has a smooth brain in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 In a post on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit, one player showed off some dialogue that revealed just how smart Astarion really is. The narration reads: \u201cAstarion\u2019s sweet brain may be a bit less wrinkled than the rest, but you hunger for its teasing cells.\u201d Setting aside the dramatic mindflayer obsession with eating his brain, it\u2019s clear that Astarion isn\u2019t really the sharpest tool in camp- though to be fair, the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 companions have about three brain cells combined, and Lae\u2019zel usually gets to use them. Several players thought the description was pretty accurate, with one commenter saying: \u201cHonestly, I\u2019ve always just seen Astarion as not that smart. I love him to death and think he\u2019s one of the best-written characters in the game, but he\u2019s making huge mistakes because he\u2019s a desperate animal fighting for his life while backed into a corner.\u201d For more news and updates on Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, check out this player\u2019s bizarre experience in the new Honor Mode added in Patch 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
