Astarion is the funniest companion in Baldur's Gate 3, but even more so whenever he's angry. By the way, I carefully picked only the angry reactions that actually sounds funny instead of him being terrifying or sad when he's upset so it won't ruin the vibes of the video, thanks for watching!

“I WAS RIGHT THERE” should be its own category by now
"I don't remember everyone I've killed but I do remember everyone I've killed in the last FIVE MINUTES!" Love that line lmfao
Knew not romancing Astarion was the right call, wouldn't want Johnathan to get jealous 😂
I’m not going to lie, I may have deliberately activated the lance on Astarion just for his reaction once or twice… or thrice. Or… 😁
~ There once was a cleric of Gond who was cursed with a very small wand. He would always recharge with a scroll of Enlarge right before every partner he'd conned ~
1:37 - Everyone always talks about the full concentrated power of the sun, but can we just appreciate The sheer level of sass he manages to put into that _Whyyyy?_
“Excuse me? I would never.” You literally bit me the same night you joined camp! You shush!
0:16 its actually funny because in baldurs gate you can meet a guy named Jonathan who is married to a princess of a noble house hahah
Personally I like the camp interaction where Astarion tells you to tell him he's great and then move along and you get to tell him that "Karlach is great, you're ok." and he APPROVES of it. Apparently he likes it if you can sass him back.
"Mercy...youre showing the goblins ✨m e r c y✨??"
3:35 Astarion: "You can't be serious!" Karlach: [b-b-breakin' it down in the background]
When i first played this game i didnt think anyone would even raise a voice at me, then i ran into Astarion
Literally every time I enter the crèche, I look at Astarion and go: “You know what we have to do”
3:54 Astarion: "Need I remind everyone that you're the one drenched in gore?" Tav: 🙂
the "no no no" line is part of my vernacular now. Thanks Neil. <3
0:33 - painted face, his reaction and full talk about keeping secret context fit really well actually
In-Game Trigger Points For These Scenes (going from memory for this so if I make a mistake please correct me): *Note:* "Companion Reaction" - I'm using this to refer to instances where _any_ companion in your active party can potentially interject, not just Astarion. As a result his reaction may be overridden by Gale, Shadowheart, etc. 0:01 - _"I'll kiss you better"_ - *Dark Urge Exclusive* - Early Game - Triggers after Dark Urge's nightmare in the crash area _or_ after Dark Urge's first unintentional violent outburst (ie: Killing the Squirrel). Speak with Astarion after either incident and Dark Urge will eventually have the option to tell Astarion something along the lines of "if you're not going to take this seriously I don't want to confide in you". Astarion will respond with this line. 0:07 - _"Princess of House Nightstar."_ - Mid Game - Triggered when speaking to Astarion about the nature of his scars. Tav will have the option of telling Astarion "Don't keep things like this a secret from me again". Astarion will respond with this line. **Possibly this will only trigger if _Raphael_ is the one to reveal Astarion's scars in Act 2, but I may be misremembering. 0:17 - _"I'm a real delight."_ - Mid/Late Game - Triggered when asking Astarion about hunting down his siblings. 0:21 - _"You can't trust anyone these days."_ - Early Game - Triggered when you speak to Astarion after Gale reveals the nature of his orb. 0:34 - _"I'll leave you to drop dead in your own time, then."_ - Companion Reaction - *Class Specific: Sorcerer* - Early Game - Iirc this is Triggered when first encountering a Sussur flower in the underdark. Astarion will express concern over Tav losing their magic. Tav has the option to essentially tell Astarion to mind his own business, and he responds with this. 0:38 - _"Inconceivable as it might be, I ACTUALLY didn't ask you."_ - *Race Specific: Drow (Seldarine or Lolth)* - Act 3 - Triggers when speaking to Astarion in Baldur's Gate. 0:50 - _"Mercy? You showed the goblins_ Mercy? _Ugh."_ - Companion Reaction - Act 2 - Triggers if you save and free the goblins in Moonrise Towers. 0:54 - _"Do you often burst into flames?"_ - Early Game - Dialogue from Karlach's origin run - Astarion's reaction to seeing Karlach rage 1:02 - _"Is there a reason you're such an utter drip?"_ - Early Game - Speak to Astarion after one of the early Dream Guardian encounters. He'll express interest in using the Tadpoles for power. If Tav rejects the idea Astarion will respond with this. 1:23 - _"Really? I mean,_ yes, _but really??"_ - Act 3 - Circus: Dryad Love Test - Triggerable by answering the Dryad honestly about Astarion's fears and desires 1:30 - _"Astarion-- but hold on!"_ - Act 2 - When Astarion meets Araj for the first time in Moonrise Towers 1:37 - _"Yes, it's been on my mind. Whyyyyy?"_ - Mid/Late Game - Triggers when you tell Astarion Cazador's ritual "must be on his mind". 1:45 - _"Oh no. Not_ again." - Companion Reaction - Act 2 - Triggers if Tav sticks their hand in the hole in Moonrise towers and doesn't free themselves before they begin to interact with the Absolute 1:49 - _"I've BEEN happy, thank you very much!"_ - Act 3 - Circus: Dryad Love Test 1:59 - _"...Thank you for helping me, it. was. very. Kind."_ - Act 2 - Triggerable when speaking to Astarion AFTER Killing Yugir, but before speaking to Raphael. 2:18 - _"Letting Minthara tag along was YOUR idea!"_ - Speak to Astarion after recruiting Minthara as a companion 2:40 - _"Ha ha, tell me what it says."_ - Early/Mid Game - During one of the camp scenes when Astarion is trying to read the scars on his back, if Tav offers to help 2:46 - _"Of all the things you could thing of - that?"_ - Act 3 - Circus: Dryad Love Test 2:57 - _"I don't remember EVERYONE I've killed. But I DO remember everyone I've killed in the last Five Minutes."_ - *Dark Urge Exclusive* - Companion Reaction - Early Game - Triggerable during the morning after the Bard visits camp. I believe it's in response to Dark Urge Saying they don't remember what happened the night before. 3:06 - _"It was YOU who got us into this mess."_ - *Dark Urge Exclusive* - Act 3 - when Astarion learns Durge's true Origins and nature 3:27 - _"Oh you're VERY funny."_ - Act 3 - Circus: Dryad Love Test 3:35 - _"You can't be serious. I had nothing to do with this!"_ - *Dark Urge Exclusive* - Early Game - Morning After Bard visits camp, if Dark Urge tries to blame everything on Astarion 3:58 - _"I can't even tell if any of you are acting strange because you've been replaced, or because this group is full of weirdos!"_ - Act 3 - Triggers when speaking to Astarion after encountering Orin shapeshifted into someone else 4:13 - _"I was Right. THERE!"_ - Act 1 - The Monestary/Creche - Triggerable by attempting to take the Blood of Lathander without inputting the crest beforehand [Astarion Approves]. If you leave Astarion behind and he dies while you escape, you will be able to revive him back in camp, and then be expose
I am embarrassed to say that while his flirting when I played the game did not work for me this "No, no, no" unlocked something in me 😂. It's always the worst moments.
11/10 outfits 👏👏👏🥰😍🤩
wait when does he say "Oh, pardon, I'll just leave you to drop dead in your own time then" because I've never seen that?? hahaha
