Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players bewildered by companion\u2019s massive appetite Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are struggling to suspend their disbelief about how much blood Astarion can supposedly consume. There are some very specific urges that come with being a vampire. So, Astarion spends a portion of your Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 journey managing those needs. Your undead companion even gains a buff after feeding, encouraging you to allow him some sweet sanguine indulgence every now and then. While Astarion can feast on enemies or even his own party members, he defaults to hunting wild animals to satiate his hunger. Although he\u2019s not particularly strong (with a very modest STR stat of 8), it\u2019s not difficult to imagine him wrestling a bear when the need strikes him. Though as players have pointed out on Reddit, it takes much more of a leap to believe he\u2019d not only take down a bear but also entirely drain it of its blood. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Astarion stuns fans with his mighty thirst The thread was prompted by a portion of dialogue in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 where Astarion appears intoxicated after drinking \u201call\u201d of the blood from a bear. Despite his supernatural status, the scene has left some players legitimately confused as to how he could guzzle down that much blood. A selection of fans suggested that there could be some embellishment at play from the Rogue; perhaps he\u2019s bigging up his hunting achievements to woo Tav. \u201cSounds like he\u2019s trying to impress you. Reminds me of the fishermen who swear the fish they caught was thiiis big\u201d, one Redditor commented. Some theorized that he doesn\u2019t actually imbibe all of his meal in one go but instead collects it from the victim, before bringing it back to camp to enjoy later. This inspired some amusing ideas of how Astarion would manage his doggy bags of animal blood: \u201cI\u2019m now picturing him coming back to camp with cheeks full of blood like a hamster storing nuts\u201d. But perhaps Astarion really is ravenous enough to go through an entire adult-sized bear like a juice box. Watch out, Halsin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
