Baldur's Gate 3's Evil Origins and the love affair between the vampire Asdalon is surprisingly warm, humorous, and meaningful.
Baldur's Gate 3 allows Evil Thoughts to find love and acceptance through its love options, including a touching relationship with the vampire Asdalen.
Asdalon supports and fights alongside evil thoughts, recognizing their shared experiences and encouraging them to rebel against the authority figures they control.
The romance between Evil Thoughts and Asdalon offers unique and humorous dialogue that showcases the character's wit and satirical personality.
Baldur's Gate 3 is tormented by ** and violent thoughts, but that doesn't mean they can't find love. All of Baldur's Gate 3's love options will eventually accept evil thoughts, amnesia, distorted thoughts, and all of it. A particularly touching and memorable love affair is formed between Evil Thoughts and the vampire Asdalen, who feels a connection to a "monster" who seeks freedom and desires to establish his identity.
From the moment the evil thoughts confessed their hidden impulses, Asdelon saw in them a like-minded soul. He recognized someone who had suffered as much as he was, someone who feared that they would never outrun a monster, someone who had a powerful authority figure eager to regain control of them.
Asdelon may not always be the best guy – he's usually vigilant and defensive, focused on self-preservation, and always ready to make a biting comment. But when Evil Thoughts confesses their secrets to an Asdalon in love, he supports them without question. If the steward of evil thoughts, Sceleritas Fel, encourages them to kill Asdalen, this vampire descendant will help them overcome evil thoughts and reassure them that they can get through it all.
When Evil Thoughts discovers that they are a bhaalspawn, the children of the gods, Asdalon immediately draws an analogy to his own situation. "I felt like I couldn't do anything about Cazador, for decades," he confesses. "Bhaal controls you in the same way. I don't know how you can beat him, but I know one thing: you have to try. "Usually so eager to grasp power in any way—hugging tadpoles, reading Sey's Necromancy"—Asdalon gave up his thirst for power and stood by his lover's side.
Asdalen's dialogue is one of the best in the game - he is sarcastic and witty, sometimes confident and calm, sometimes honest and vulnerable. Actor Neil Newbon was even nominated for a Game Award for giving life to Asdalen. However, some of the best lines of this vampire can only be heard when he is in love as an evil thought. These include:
Are you okay now, or is today the kind of day that 'I'll cover your white curls with a delicate veil of blood and marry you?'”
I'd rather be the only dark force in your body. ”
After a thousand years, when I have almost forgotten how to love again, you will suddenly burst into my heart and I will cry and wonder what happened to my crazy love. ”
My baby little bhaal!”
Some of the game's love subjects are not too happy about Evil Thoughts embracing Bhaal and becoming the Chosen One of the Gods instead of resisting Evil Thoughts. Asdalon, on the other hand, is fine with this - he is familiar with violence and **, and is willing to carve a bloody path in ** with evil thoughts.
Making Asdalon a Vampire Ascendant is a dark and tragic ending. However, the love between Asdelon the Ascendant and Baal's Choice brings some lightness to this horrific ending, as the couple mocks each other almost humorously about their plans for each other. "When I conquer the whole world, maybe I'll spare your life," Evil Thoughts mused. Asdalon the Astellant, the Astellant, confidently jokingly replied, "Unless I get there first." The game is on, dear. "Their love is a strange kind of love – but sometimes, it's also heartwarming.
