Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fanfic writers have a favorite companion and it\u2019s not even close Larian StudiosThe majority of all fan fiction about Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 focuses on just one of the companions in the game, despite them all being relatively popular. One of the most remarkable things Baldur\u2019s Gate managed to achieve was juggling the stories and character arcs of several vastly different personalities throughout its three-act narrative. No matter who your favorite companion is, there\u2019s a decent chance that any one of the party members you pick up along the way could be someone else\u2019s favorite. Unless it\u2019s Halsin. Still, it looks like that broad appeal hasn\u2019t carried over to the fanfiction community, because half of all the stories written about Baldur\u2019s Gate feature one very special vampire. Astarion features in half of all Baldur\u2019s Gate fanfiction One person on the official Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit crunched the numbers and discovered that out of all 6108 Baldur\u2019s Gate fanfics on the popular site Archive of Our Own, 2815 of them featured Astarion, making him present in just under 50% of the stories. Maybe there\u2019s just something about the way he talks, or something about writers and vampires that brings them back to the good old days of Twilight fanfiction, but Astarion takes the top spot among the writing community for Baldur\u2019s Gate. And to be fair, we can\u2019t see someone being as dedicated about Halsin. As one player sarcastically put it: \u201d I\u2019m surprised to see the dramatic bi vampire tops the lists.\u201d Strangely, this trend doesn\u2019t map onto the actual game itself, as Larian Studios have confirmed that the most romanced characters in the game are Gale and Shadowheart. Maybe all the vampire lovers are too busy writing Astarion x OC fan fiction to actually play the game.
