#maybe minsc??

[copdog1234]

It may end up being an impossible feat for me because i tend to play in a neutral good sort of way, but I really hope that on my first playthrough of BG3 I'll be able to successfully befriend all of the Early Access companions and not have them leave me cause they hate my decisions. I'm attached to all of them.

Down the parsed dialogue rabbit hole again, this time looking at Ethel's Vicious Mockery lines for all the characters, and goddamn, they are brutal.

ASTARION You're one thirsty night away from betraying everyone. Deep down, you like being leashed, don't you? Is there still rat stuck in your teeth, slave?

GALE I can smell what's under those bandages, wizard. You're all rot and ruin. Come to greet death early? You'll be a lovely spectacle. Who would be jealous of you, apprentice?

KARLACH Let's pull your strings, infernal puppet. Happy to sell everyone's soul but your own, aren't you? When I'm done, even the Hells won't want you.

LAE'ZEL Your people will never take you back - illithid scum. Do you miss kissing Vlaakith's feet, gith? A toad with a tadpole! How fitting.

MINSC How quaint! The hamster has a pet. Only evil here is what's inside you, ranger. Go rub your rat, soft-skull.

SHADOWHEART You're so far up Shar's cake you can't see straight. Pathetic. Why would Shar love you when no one else does? You're no complex puzzle. Just a sad little girl.

WYLL Do you think losing that eye made you a hero? Oh, look! It's daddy's regret. Fraud of the Frontiers!

DRAGONBORN Aww, where's your clan? Bet they'd exile you for that brainworm in a blink. Bet that honour of yours shatters easy as your scales. You foul-breathed little lizard!

DWARF No flabby dwarf's a threat to me. More beard than brains, the lot of you. Bet you'd trade your friends for a trinket or two, gold-eater!

DWARF (DUERGAR) Bow your head, slave. You remember how, don't you? Grey and useless as a stone comb. I'll squeeze that stone heart until it bleeds, dwarf. Need a new master, illithid lover?

ELF Fancy yourself immortal? We'll see how long that lasts. I'll show you what a true fey does, dearie. Elves are so pretty. Pretty worthless!

ELF (DROW - FEMALE) Filthy underscum! Just another of Lolth's pretty harlots. Slaver. Sadist. How dare you judge me?

ELF (DROW - MALE) Bare your throat, spider-bait. Kneel, boy. Just like the matriarchs taught you to. Bow to your betters, boy.

GNOME Disgusting burrow rat. Bet your clan's happy you're gone! Try laughing after I rip your throat out, gnome.

HALF-ELF I wonder which parent regrets you more, half-breed. How revolting. Another thin-blooded mongrel. Half-elf. Half-human. All useless.

HALF-ELF (DROW) Even the Underdark doesn't want you, half-breed. A half-drow? How grotesque. Surprised you show yourself in public, abomination.

HALF-ORC Come now, tusks-for-brains! Doesn't this make you angry? All that bloodlust. A little tap, and I bet you won't know friend from foe! Lumbering half-orc. Twice as ugly as your parents combined!

HALFLING Come closer, little softie. You'll be tender. A tiny, sweet morsel. Just for me.

HUMAN Another human rat infesting Faerûn. A human! So desperate to be special. Pity. That tadpole actually made you interesting.

TIEFLING I'll burn you alive and everyone will celebrate. You're everyone's punching bag and no one's favourite. I see the Hells spit out another tragic little tiefling.

i think the best way to get around bg3 companion ship discourse is to acknowledge that literally every single party member is flirting with each other at any given point. every one of them

[jeeaark]

More of a silly crack theory than anything

A befuddling moment for me was when Squid Buddy was very adamant about not helping a fellow adventurer out. Perhaps it would've had more logical if Jaheira was not there, but. Jaheira was there, my squiddude.

Maybe Emps still had a hard time believing in the power of friendship???? But uh-

I like to think it was really because the Emperor heard one too many spooky BG2 stories about Minsc during their time in the hive.

don't take this comic seriously, all in light jest Edit: Aight, my two brain cells are working again and realized I coulda just looked at the BG3 Wiki to sort out what's up with the statue thing, HA. Anyway, I still like the idea Emps somehow figured out statue Minsc was real Minsc before he poofed back to normal and got captured, whether the timeline is accurate enough for that to work is still confusing to me and- I'm not gonna think about it~

[itskaitsart]

hell yeah baldur’s gate 3

[moghedien]

love that she got mad at me the second we got Minsc back because she knew it was gonna be like this

[valentjin]

[fithragaer]

"Friendship" is no match for my evil warlock powers

[trappedinafantasy37]

Here's a compilation of my favorite screenshots of all the Baldur's Gate 3 companions!

💜💜MINTHARA💜💜

Thank you! Let me know which one was your favorite!

[jayishyperfixed]

what if… hear me out… modern au.

these are just some fun sketches i made of some of the companions in a modern day/real life (but not really)/neighbourhood au that’s been brewing in my brain lately. i’m in the process of making a ref sheet for ALLLL of them alongside info cards and such. some characters have original traits some don’t - it’s gonna be pretty inconsistent.

shadowheart and lae’zel are working at competing companies and are both very overworked. they start as corporately-mandated enemies but then realise they’re in the same boat after their first cigarette sharing™ on the curb besides their respective offices.

halsin jaheira and minsc are all besties, with jaheira and minsc being the sort of big siblings to halsin. minsc runs the local animal shelter, (and is also the dm for local dnd games), jaheira is the local florist/gardener and halsin i’m not too sure about but he’ll probably be the part-time park ranger who helps jaheira out.

i have a tonnnn of fun ideas for it that i can’t wait to share!!!

[zhemariart]

Have some of the fine fine companions we can join up with <:

The fine ladies by up next <:

[ghostofashina]

what each bg3 companion smells like according to my own delulu thoughts

minthara: wet clothes. i know she doesnt like water but she kinda gives soggy cat vibes.

shadowheart: incense.

halsin: fresh earth after rain.

astarion: aromatic candles.

wyll: 30 minutes warm baths with bubbles.

lae'zel: fruit colony

karlach: burnt hair. sorry.

gale: those shampoos you only find when you go to the hairstylist.

jaheira: campfires.

minsc: dry, acid sweat.

HEY ASTARION GIRLIES I CAN'T SLEEP so here's the deal right

Baldur's gate 2 has a cloak called the cloak of dragomir that allows a vampire to walk in the daylight, it just imposes some disadvantages. So it's canon within the baldur's gate universe and theoretically it would be totally possible for astarion to track down (only problem is it has a giant ass strength debuff which would make our poor boy have the carrying capacity of an elderly cricket)

[kittlyns]

Loveeee Jaheira. You check her approval rating of you and it's just neutral so you talk to her, call her old and make fun of her, check the rating again, and it's up to medium. Every time.

[aro-attorneys]

* starts new bg3 save *

* does the exact same stuff again *

[invinciblerodent]

I fucking swear just reaching the goddamn Netherbrain is the single most annoying part of this entire game

(HOW CAN YOU GET KNOCKED OUT OF A GLOBE OF INVULNERABILITY. HOW. HOW DOES THAT WORK. WE WERE ALL INVULNERABLE. HOW DID THEY TOUCH US. GAAAHHHHHHH.)
