BALDUR'S GATE 3 - Astarion and Shadowheart want your attention

did you know that the way your companions talk to you in Boulders Gate 3 depends not only on their approval rate and the situation but also on whether you prioritize their company I mean you probably do know but I'm going to talk about it anyway because I just recently discovered this and I was delighted by the way light spoilers so let's take a certain early game scene for example we just visited the emerald Grove talked to the teelings The Druids and recruited will lasel already talked to zoru and she wants to find the other ganki we go to camp for a long rest four of our companions wants to talk to us will only has a basic early game conversation about the TPO because his new but lazel aarion and shadowart have some slightly more personal musings to share LEL seems to be a bit homesick and treats us to a collection of atypically nostalgic and profound descriptions of the lives of her people Shadow hard is quite happy about the perspective of getting Hon's help but wants to know what we would do if she began transforming aarion on the other hand carefully starts his flirting game now my relationship with Lazelle and aarion is neutral with Shadow heart it's fair nobody is ready to jump from a rooftop after me yet so their approval plays no role in this we have four exclamation marks Withers doesn't count what do we do who do we talk to First well both aarion and Shadow heart will punish us us in a way if we don't choose them it's nothing major or important but their opening lines change depending on our choice while they're both forgive us for talking to will first because he's just a new guy with not much to say yet and Gail because he has no exclamation mark they won't ignore anyone else if you choose Shadow heart she starts with this finally some good fortune come morning we know what to do the sooner we find the Druid house in the better I can't wait to get rid of this thing in my head but if LEL or estaran get our attention before her she opens her conversation with this little passive aggressive line the leader of the pack comes to chat what's on your mind you must be pleased to have a clear path forward the sooner we find the Druid house in the better I can't wait to get rid of this thing in my head aion's opening line changes depending on whether we're camping under the Open sky or not but he too pays attention to his position on our list and shortens the conversation if we don't prioritize him the most famous and the most flirty of his opening lines is this one it's quite a sight the Stars I mean I could take or leave your [Music] chin no just thinking reflecting on what tomorrow might bring when we find the Druid of course he's teasing us and he is trying to confuse us but perhaps the star KN is getting to him a bit as well because if the camp is in a place where we can't see the sky Aaron's greeting is much more straight forward and mean do you mind I was rather enjoying my view of the ceiling it's something of a novelty I'm usually quite busy at night but now I'm just lying here and uh thinking reflecting on what tomorrow might bring when we find the Druid still we do get the additional lines but if we talk to Lael or shadowart first he abandons the initial Small Talk entirely and cuts to the chase you know I've been thinking reflecting on what tomorrow might bring so yeah this has no effect on our relationship with the characters and doesn't really give us any additional information it exists purely for the flavor and that's awesome
