me pleading with astarion through the deluge of his act 1 disapproval like please i swear bro viera is evil yeah yeah i know shes super chill to everyone she encounters and is honest to a fault but. no, lissten, jsust listen hang on. shes LAWFUL evil man it still counts !!!! i know shes loyal and selfless to her allies and refuses to harm animals or children and will actively intervene on children's behalf BRO STOTP LAUGHIGN PLEASE I SWEAR and and um i know she respects ur autonomy nd doesnt let u ascend and has done literall.y all of the good options so by game mechanics shes indistinguishable to a hero character bbt. but i swear bro. bro i sw. where are you going

#tay plays bg3 #oc: vierynrae #her morality is so tricky because. HH.#the goals shes striving toward + the person she once was and would like to be again is lawful neutral #but she just seen too many good people die to be naive enough to assume she can get there without uh lots of violence and suffering #so her pact was a necessary evil. one she chose because she felt the good would outweigh the bad. eventually #and then sort of began a gradual descent from lawful neutral to lawful evil. and at the start of bg3 #shes several decades past that tipping point. enough for it to become a regretful routine of hers #BUT. being an elf. also not so long in the grand scheme of things. she still remembers why shes doing what shes doing. mostly #and shes lawful in the business sense. she wears her evil work uniform but when shes off the clock shes off the clock !!!#and all the other qualities that come with business sense. loyalty to allies. manipulation > lying. having a reputation to uphold #but like. does she CONSIDER taking over the absolute ? yes very seriously because shes Evil :) does she decide not to? yes bc shes Lawful :#does she CONSIDER helping astarion ascend? shes fully onboard bc evil !!! :) but she reconsiders. bc Lawful and also common sense !!!!#now if only i could grant sentience to astarion's code so i dont have to sit through the INDIGNITY #of him telling viera she has 'a big heart (derogatory)' again 😔
