As our Harvey Randall wrote, we’re all nonetheless enjoying Baldur’s Gate 3 greater than a 12 months after its launch as a result of there’s a lot to search out in it. Gale can write a tragic resignation letter in case you ignore him lengthy sufficient, and there is a sport over only for individuals who exit of their solution to lose a plot-critical merchandise. Once I was enjoying I triggered an ambush by Astarion’s vampire-spawn siblings by long-resting repeatedly within the Decrease Metropolis, one thing that apparently lots of different gamers did not expertise. Even I did not discover what occurs in case you let Astarion get vamp-napped, nonetheless.
As documented on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit by Soft_Stage_446, Astarion will get taken to his grasp’s torture kennel to be punished by a skeletal interrogator known as Godey. A complete scene you’d in any other case by no means see performs out from Astarion’s standpoint, whether or not or not you selected to play him as your origin character. And then you definitely’ve acquired the chance to flee as Astarion, or change over to the remainder of your get together and launch a rescue try. There’s even dialogue for numerous companions’ response to Astarion’s abduction.
It isn’t a sequence you are prone to see by chance, even in case you’re a ordinary long-rester like me. The vampire spawn aren’t a difficult combat, so you must exit of your solution to allow them to down Astarion after which make off with him. And you must have him in your get together when the assault occurs. If you happen to do not he’ll nonetheless take part, however not helpfully. (When examined, he spent 15 rounds throwing fireworks as a substitute of attacking.) And if defeated, on this case he’ll merely die.
By way of rarity, that is proper up there with the dialog you may solely expertise by selecting to be the Darkish Urge, and attempting to gather your inheritance from the Counting Home. Or the ending you may solely unlock by enjoying as evil Lae’zel, and doing it badly. Solely 34 gamers had discovered that once we wrote about it, however these 34 individuals had a fantastic story to inform.
