I like Guardians of the Galaxy, and my tabletop games aren't deadly serious at all.I also think that DA:I companions are similarly a motley crew of misfits with constant banter, as is usual in the genre and goes way back before either DA:I or BG3. One writes erotica fanfiction, the other is hardened kill-joy who is secretly a reader of the first, one is ghost that recites pop culture references from Mean Girls to FullMetal Alchemist via spooky rhymes, etc. The world in DA:I is more serious and more cohesive, that's true. I love FR, but it's more of a kitchen sink--so maybe DA:I was a bad example. I played Wrath of the Righteous recently, and that's set in a similarly kitchen sink world as FR, though as a game it's on a much, much tighter budget. I love a good majority of WotR's companions too. In some ways, I think Astarion walks the same lane as Daeran Arendae from WotR, but while I absolutely adore Daeran (he's probably my favorite in that game), Astarion does nothing for me.Anyhow, I don't mean to derail the thread. Astarion clearly has many fans and it's a good idea to make a product centered on him even if I personally do not care for it. WotC should probably cash in on all the breakout BG3 characters (none for poor Wyll, I imagine. He'll be lucky to get an easter egg someday).This is a good point. Even if it doesn't, I suppose it gives B&G the opportunity to create products in the future that include paper versions and copilations of these DLC.</blockquote>
