My character is pretty evil for the first run so he fits in nicely too permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nepenthe@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago* Lmao, I meant to play a good character and mostly I'm succeeding. I still usually do the good thing, if not so much the...altruistic nonpayment thing. But I've gotten a lot of amusement out of the realization he is making me worse. It's just so fun to listen to his snark that I have trouble turning down an option I know he has an opinion on. The writers, animators, and voice actors all did an incredible job on this game and his actual backstory beyond what I had expected to be lame twilight fanservice is SO much fun for someone as overanalytical as I am to take apart. I find guessing at his psyche as interesting as it is realistic. However, functionally, Astarion is the demon on my left shoulder. And he is ruining me. permalink fedilink source parent
