Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player crushed after Astarion dumps them over crucial story decision Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player ruined their chances with Astarion after forcing him to drink the blood of another character. The winner of Game of the Year continues to impress players with its storyline twists and turns, which are still being discovered months after the game\u2019s release. Baldur\u2019s Gate combines Dungeon and Dragons\u2019 customization into a solid RPG title that gives each player a unique experience. One of these experiences was discovered by a Redditor who was devastated to find out one key mistake left them without a partner. Astarion is arguably one of the most romanced companions in the franchise, with his devilish charm and tragic backstory. The latter is what gets the Redditor in trouble for not respecting some of the trauma Astarion has gone through in the past. Spoilers ahead! Baldur\u2019s Gate player gets broken up with by Astarion If the player opts to make Astarion bite Araj Oblodra, it could lead to dire consequences for their relationship with him. Specifically, forcing Astarion to drink her blood may worsen their bond. \u201cAfter I made him bite Araj Oblodra, we had a little debrief back in camp,\u201d said the poster. \u201cThe breakup hit like a punch in the stomach. It had me scrambling to find an old save where I could scum the conversation and say the right things.\u201d The sequence of events weighs heavily on Astarion\u2019s background and the experiences that he has had in the past. There seems to be more than one option that players can choose that may result in Astarion breaking up with them. Regardless, he will reflect on whichever option is chosen when the player returns to camp. \u201cI said he was his own person and said no to him biting her if he didn\u2019t want to,\u201d said one user. \u201cBack at camp, he was still feeling really guilty like he should have done it, and saying he should have just put up with it and stuff. I think it\u2019s easy to underestimate how messed up he was by Cazador and what he was forced to do.\u201d If players want to keep their relationship with Astarion, they may need to pay closer attention to his feelings and backstory. Otherwise, they may suffer the same consequences as the original Reddit poster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
