Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9062977" data-attributes="member: 18">To me Astarion's vibe is that of a Tory MP for a safe rural southern England constituency. The whole haughty disregard, the preening self-indulgence, the ridiculous hair, even the accent, it just absolutely screams it. To be really specific, Astarion is basically straight-up <a href="https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Alan_B%27Stard" target="_blank">Alan B'stard</a>. Except for some reason like 30-40% of BG3 redditors have a huge thr... let's not put it like that... are extremely attracted to Alan B'stard here. WHY? Just because he's a vampire with a Received Pronunciation English accent?He even kind of looks like Alan B'stard for god's sake.Exactly. I actually would kind of have liked a real Lestat or even a Damon Salvatore-type (Vampire Diaries), but this guy? He's just too much of, as you so correctly put it, a preening twit. He think he's like ten times funnier than he is, and not in a scary way like the two I mentioned, but in a "not very bright but very entitled" kind of way.And yeah he has sad backstory, but like, nah mate.Swen Vincke apparently chose violence this morning and decided to turn hype up to 11/10:[MEDIA=twitter]1677279332547416065[/MEDIA]In case Elon is still being a child and trying force people to log in to Twitter:[ATTACH=full]289584[/ATTACH]Jesus mate. That's beyond Todd Howard levels of hype. Let's hope that, unlike Todd, he can actually back it up.</blockquote>
