Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players can\u2019t resist Astarion despite their best efforts Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are struggling to resist the charms of their favorite vampire rogue, leading to some unexpected in-game romances. In the world of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, players are faced with countless choices, from the paths they tread to the allies they keep. But one choice seems to be particularly challenging for many: resisting the charms of Astarion. A recent Reddit thread captures the essence of the struggle as one player confessed they felt \u201chumiliated\u201d after romancing Astarion despite their best efforts not to do so. \u201cSpent 10 minutes explaining to my boyfriend why I wasn\u2019t romancing Astarion this run,\u201d the player explained. \u201cManaged to reject him at the Tiefling party (white knuckling the controller), and this man has the audacity to come onto me again after the next long rest. I folded.\u201d Unsurprisingly, the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community is full of understanding when it comes to the Astarion phenomenon. One player shared advice, \u201cThe best way to avoid romancing Astarion is to play Astarion. Try it next time.\u201d Another shared, \u201cDon\u2019t worry OP, my wife struggled her second playthrough. She constantly had to fight that pale urge.\u201d Astarion, with his sarcastic quips and undeniable charisma, has not only stolen the hearts of players but has also led some to forget about their real-life partners. One player shared that their spouse had changed their phone background to Astarion and even dreamt about him. Other players are simply playing as the Dark Urge just to unlock special dialogues with Astarion. But it hasn\u2019t all been smooth sailing in the world of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 romances. Not long after the game\u2019s launch, Larian Studios revealed that Astarion had already rejected almost 100,000 players. Those who face rejection from the dashing rogue often turn their attention toward other companions like Shadowheart or Gale. But in the end, it seems that resisting Astarion is far from permanent, as one player put it, \u201cI keep saying I\u2019ll stop, and romance another character\u2026 And then Karlach was like \u2018have fun with your pretty boy,\u2019 so now I\u2019m dual romancing with Astarion again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
