Here is how to get astarion approval so high he will proposition you before the tieflings party. No evil choices, just some chaos. The score you want is 40.
Not all of these are necessary btw, if you di all of this you'll get over 40. Avoid what sounds too evil and check that you're getting up to 40. Also remember that for the party romance you actually only need 20.
- When Lae'zel is in the cage, talk to her before releasing her and ask her to say "please"
- Attacking the thieves at the ruined temple
- When Shadowheart mention needing a cure (at camp) make sure to choose the option about being cautious
- When you meet with Zevlor, refuse to help saying you have your own problems. (you can help anyway, don't worry)
- When Lae'zel meets the tiefling and ask him to bow, go along with her at least once, then you can stop her and apologise to the poor man
- When you meet Wyll, you can talk with the guy training the children. Tell the children that they will all die
- After saving Arabella, tell the druid woman that you just wanted to see what would happen
- When you meet Auntie Ethel at the refugees' camp, let her fuss over you and then tell her about the tadpoles
- You know the kid with the magic ring trick? Pocket that ring
- When you meet the two siblings mourning their dying brother, Astarion will approve of you send them to face the owlbear (but I never choose this, because it makes me sad). But I think the big approval comes in the dialogue just next, where you can say that using the tadpole seems like a great idea
- At the blighted village, when the goblin spots you, you will get approval if you attack them back
- Say boooo to Volo
- Open the door where the sexy moans are happening
- At the entrance of the goblin camp, if you can, thow shit at the guard
- There's a goblin that will ask you to kneel and kiss his foot. Uno reverse it, and intimidate him
- Let the cleric at the goblin whip you
- After you free the owlbear, pet them at camp
- Get the necromancy of thay, and the amethyst that fits in it and give it to Astarion
- Recruit Karlach with him in the party
- Killing the monster Hunter will also shoot up your approval of TEN POINTS. I usually never kill him, but if you're close to the party and you really want to get to 40, this is also an option
- When you meet Raphael, agree with Astarion that you should not trust him
- If you decide to do auntie ethel too, make sure to convince her to free Maryna and get the deal at the same time
Now, I think the majority of approval will come with how you talk with him at camp.
- Go along with his dialogue about killing you if there's any tentacle showing. Just play along, don't shut him down
- Go along with the "whose blood would you drink" dialogue. Your answer doesn't really matter as long as you don't shut him down
- When he bites you, of course, offer to give him your blood
- During the mirror dialogue (sometimes it happens pre-sleeping together) you can insult him a bit (you're not aging gracefully), but at the second reply reassure him. The last reply is fine for all the lines and they seem to all get approval, as long as you don't just leave.
In general this is usually all I need to get to 40, which is pretty high. In my last playthrough I managed to also get to 40 without doing many of these.
But as I said, you only need 20. Just remember that he likes being petty and asserting dominance over others, he loves the tadpole, he is cautious, he's a little silly and chaotic, he's selfish, he likes joking and talking so don't shut him down.
Just remember that he's much more explicit about sex being an exchange if you get the proposition before the party, and you end up missing the scene of the party. Up to you! If you see that he's at 40 he will proposition the moment you talk to him, so if you accidentally got his approval too high and want to see both scenes you can technically kill the goblin leaders and free halsin, talk to him, then when you sleep you get directly to the party where you will have the party scene too.
OMG yes sheโs back! ย The red-headed badass is back!
I mean, don't get ahead of yourself. ย Someone IS dying Sunday.
Congrats! You're going to be a grandmother!
Funny.
ALL I COULD THINK OF.
Ashi looks just like the Beast from Over the Garden Wall.
you know, between two people? not just a single quote? yeah. that.
โ โCan you stand?โ โI can try.โ
โ โThey donโt scold. They donโt have to. If they look at you a certain way, you know youโre being scolded.โ โAh. So Iโm definitely going to be scolded, then.โ
โ โDo they always follow what you say?โ โNo, actually. Almost never.โ
โ โDo you remember that conversation?โ โI remember you saying you would explain. How much did you?โ
โ โI shouldnโt be here.โ โWell, you are, and donโt think of leaving.โ
โ โYou sound a bit like them, actually.โ โIs that a compliment or an insult?โ
โ โOh, so you arenโt looking forward to meeting them.โ โI canโt think of many people who actually are.โ
โ โLook, I appreciate your hospitality, but I canโt stay-โ โYes, you can. Now sit down before you fall over.โ
โ โYou keep being irresponsible and not taking care of yourself, of course Iโm upset!โ โI only collapsed on you the one time. The other times were only almost.โ
โ โIf youโre not going to take what I say seriously, Iโm going to tie you up and take you home.โ โGood luck with that.โ
โ โSomehow you must not have heard all the bad things said about me.โ โIโve heard them all twice. But Iโll make my own judgments.โ
โ โThey clearly want you dead.โ โWe knew that already.โ
โ โI donโt know why you expected anything else from me.โ โI never expected much of anything. If you hadnโt turned out to be so clever, I might have given up on you years ago.โ
โ โYouโll never have me by your side.โ โI will, one way or another, no matter how long it takes. I will have you.โ
โ โYou donโt know how dangerous they are.โ โThey donโt know how dangerous I am, either.โ
โ โDonโt try to talk. Save your strength.โ โThereโs not much to save.โ
โ โYou donโt have to be alright.โ โI have to get through the rest of this, though.โ
โ โYouโre hurt.โ โNo! Iโm okay! Really, Iโm okay!โ
โ โDo you, uh, want me to come with you?โ โYouโre part of the team. We want you with us.โ
โ โMaybe we should hold hands. That way you wonโt fall down any holes.โ โMore like if I fall down Iโll take you with me.โ
โ โWhat is it?โ โSomethingโs wrong. I donโt know what. I just feel it.โ
โ โI can walk fine on my own.โ โYes, but I want to be close you. You know, as friends.โ
โ โWere you worried that I was dead?โ โOf course not.โ
โ โWell this is not what I expected to happen.โ โWhat didย you expect?โ
โ โI had a bad feeling. Was I right?โ โDepends on what you mean by bad.โ
And they lived happily ever after ;w;
Finally finished this pic after suffering from final exams lol not sure if this could cure my broken heart from the final ep ;w;โฆ
HQ
20 minutes in and weโve had an impala backseat joke. Bring on Mary Winchester.
Such reactions are known to happen when a character finally gets interesting.
Itโs funny coz last season we were all like โKILL DANIEL!!โ and this season weโre like โNO NOT DANIEL!โ Damn is this fandom like a rubber band.
RIP Daniel Grayson, who went out being a hero.
