I have two Tavs! Cassiella (sorcerer) and Giona (bard) and I always imagined they were in the same party/playthrough. Cassie is a very sweet an ADHD creature. Meanwhile, Gio is a duplicate of Astarion but very Autistic.
Just a reminder that Neil Newbon is an actor with boundaries and he has made it very clear that he doesn't want to be see *as* Astarion
He wants to ensure that all actors and writers and artists involved in development of BG3 are recognized for their work and contributions, he knows he's the "face" of popularity right now but please do watch his reactions so far and take care when you're in his chat rooms/ordering on cameo/engaging with him at conventions.
He's incredibly professional but has boundaries and has been needing to enforce them fairly strongly recently, and while I'm sure he can hold his own it's important to be a respectful fan. I get that people can get overwhelmed, they really adore his work, but he is a married man with a child and many characters he has played/will play in future and he deserves to be spoken to respectfully.
There's been a few instances where I've seen him become visibly uncomfortable during streams or Q&A at conventions and I know the people who need to hear this aren't reading this, but your feelings aren't more important than his comfort.
So reign it in, tone it down, be respectful and recognize that this human being isn't your blorbo, he is a man trying to do his job
MAKING A NEW TAV FOR MY SECOND PLAYTHROUGH I literally love her and I feel like she’d be a Gale girly but thats lowkey so hard for me when Astarion is just… right there. She also has no name I will take suggestions fr.
Lovies if anyone who plays BG3 sees this and installs mods I need you to send me some good youtube tutorials because I’m dumb and its for some reason not as easy as downloading mods for the sims 4
