As expected, the quote is very much something the character would say: Darling, you are simply delicious.However, this isnt the only time Astarion has jumped from Baldurs Gate 3 into other Dungeons and Dragons content. In fact, the lovable vampire even turned up in last years official 2024 Dungeons and Dragons Player Manual, albeit there he was burning in a truly haunting scene of dread.I added him on my own from the sketch of that image, and the art directors thought it was fine to leave him there as a small easter egg for those who notice, said artist David Astruga (thanks, GamesRadar). It doesnt have any further relevance, but its good to remember that Astarion is a Wizards character, so he could obviously appear here or there.With the extreme popularity of BG3, it seems that the games lovable cast of characters will continue to pop up in more D&D content in the future. Although its just a Astarion for now, perhaps we could see best girl Shadowheart make an appearance sometime in the future.For more BG3 coverage, check out a new mod that adds World of Warcraft locations to the game, or another that adapts characters from Heroes of the Storm into awesome new Feats.Baldurs Gate 3Platform(s):macOS, PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series S/X, Xbox Series XGenre(s):Adventure, RPG, Strategy10VideoGamerRelated TopicsBaldurms Gate 3 Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share
