Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players swoon over new ascended Astarion kiss animation Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are going crazy over the new ascended Astarion kiss animation showcased by Larian Studios on Valentine\u2019s Day. Larian has been teasing a new upcoming patch, giving multiple characters new animations for showing affection \u2013 something that was suspected to come out on the day of love, but has yet to be released to the public. Baldur\u2019s Gate won Game of the Year and has managed to keep players hooked by giving them different paths to create their own stories\u2026 One of which is deciding whether or not to let Astarion become a Vampire Ascendant towards the end of the game. The decision is up to the player, and has both good and bad consequences. However, those who want to see Astarion ascend and gain unthinkable power can also get exclusive cutscenes and animations. Baldur\u2019s Gate players lose it over Astarion animation Astarion is known as a fan-favorite among players for his devilish charm and tragic backstory, which made him the perfect candidate to receive one of the new affection animations for the upcoming update. After Astarion ascends, there will be a cutscene involving him and whichever character the player uses to romance him with. Astarion will have the character get on their knees in this cutscene before grabbing their neck and passionately kissing them, something that was not included in the cutscene before the update. However, not everyone was impressed with the dramatic kiss, with one person saying that it was \u201cunrealistic\u201d to have that be the only animation. Another commenter pointed out that there should be a choice between the new animation and the one before based on your choices. \u201cAscended Astarion\u2019s kiss should be based on whether you chose to \u2018be gentle\u2019 or \u2018make it hurt\u2019 when becoming a spawn,\u201d said one user. \u201cThis kiss would be for saying \u2018make it hurt.\u2019 If you said \u2018be gentle,\u2019 it would be cool to have a kiss that mirrors the gentle scene where he kisses your hand first.\u201d Despite the Valentine\u2019s Day teasers, Larian Studios has not released the high-anticipated upcoming patch for Baldur\u2019s Gate. Other patches have historically been released on a Thursday or Friday, which means the update could be coming in the next day or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
