The third act of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 allows players to pursue a fleeting romance with Mizora, a character who proves essential to Wyll\u2019s backstory. This fling can cause trouble in some respects, especially if the player has already locked in their desired romance partner in previous chapters. Some NPCs accept the player character\u2019s affair with Mizora. For example, players have reported that Shadowheart doesn\u2019t mind so long as her own needs are still met. But many thought it strange that Spawn Astarion never had a stronger reaction when learning about the dalliance. The RPG\u2019s newly released Patch 6 managed to address all of that and more. Spawn Astarion gets new dialogue options in BG3\u2019s Patch 6 Following the recent rollout of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Patch 6, eagle-eyed fans discovered proof of brand-new dialogue lines for Astarion. The new options are specific to Vampire Spawn Astarion and only surface if the player and Mizora sleep together. In sharing the news, Reddit user rachel-angelina noted that previous lines for this scenario now belong to Ascended Astarion. The Redditor explained: \u201cI personally think this is a great differentiation and makes more sense for his character, the dialogue that was there before always seemed like it was meant for ascended.\u201d In confronting the player about the affair, Astarion now questions whether they can be trusted. A particularly cutting line will see him state: \u201cEven I deserve better than this.\u201d While Astarion may accept an apology, apparently only Tavs who pass a \u201ccharisma check\u201d will wind up back in his good graces. BG3 players in the Reddit thread agree that Spawn Astarion\u2019s updated dialogue options seem more appropriate for this version of the character. Said one such fan, \u201cI like the job they\u2019re doing differentiating spawn and AA. This dialogue suits spawn very well!\u201d Others are applauded Larian for highlighting Astarion\u2019s growth: \u201c\u2018I see everything I\u2019ve been trying to escape in you\u2019 damn. They\u2019re really expanding on his growth.\u201d And some seem especially pleased that the new options give the beloved BG3 character standards. \u201cFinally! I knew it in my gut my boy had standards,\u201d someone chimed in. A similar comment reads, \u201cAbsolutely love this addition, he has standards after all.\u201d It seems Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 characters still have some growing to do. Whether or not Larian will continue to explore as much in post-launch patches remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players praise new dialogue for giving Astarion standards Larian StudiosA new BG3 patch added dialogue that lets Astarion confront players if they had a fling with Mizora while romancing him.
