"I didn't always make the best decisions." | Astarion's reflections (Act 1 & Act 3) Baldur's Gate 3

there you are my friend I have drunk not alcohol of course a bear he took a little of my blood I took all of his you're comparing plon to vintage wine you can make Merry with either but they're not the same but Cazador fed me rats and bugs and when you're used to drinking from a sewer even plon is a marked improvement I existed that was enough for him he reveled in having power over me because those with power can do whatever the hell they want is it what good is freedom if I'm always watching the Shadows no I'll be safe when I'm powerful enough to grind kazador into the dust powerful enough to do whatever the hell I want let them heroes are half the damn problem fools are believe in right and wrong good and evil Heroes didn't save me from kazador mind flares did they gave me a gift the strength to take my own Freedom I'm embracing this power you should too it feels ridiculous to still be thinking about Cazador he's gone I'm here I won I still keep reliving everything that happened playing it over and over in my [Music] mind you're not wrong Cazador left his mark on me in more ways than one no for a moment I wanted to be just like him I came so close to losing everything back there to losing myself back at the ritual all I could see was the power of on offer and the safety it promised I was so blinded by it just as Cazador was but you saw something in me someone else I could be someone who could break the cycle of power and Terror that started centuries ago you saved me back there I may not have appreci apprciated it at the time but I do now thank [Music] you I have to hope so and if not at least there's only so much damage they can do in the underd dark but that first Rush of Freedom can be intoxicating I didn't always make the best decisions when I first tasted it they'll need guidance I only hope my siblings are up to the challenge the and dark is not a forgiving Place neither was I not until I sank a dagger into cazador's chest and the light went out of his eyes I am well not happy with how things turned out but this does feel right when I look at my future anything and everything feels possible now and I get to share it with you as a partner and equal you saved me from myself and let me walk A New Path where I can be free truly honestly free this is a gift you know thank you I won't forget it you're so adorable when you're thinking what to say yes my sweet what is it it would be nice not to have to rely on you as my great protector but well I do appreciate the thought you are perfect every time
