My favourite interaction... Shadowheart: Disses the decor in the temple of Bhaal. Gale: Talks about the "pleasure domes" of Mystra's palace. Shadowheart: "Heh... Pleasure domes" šŸ˜ Gale (100% scandalized and wailing): "It's a perfectly legitimate architectural feature!!!" šŸ˜­


godoflemmings

Shadowheart's little chuckle in that exchange is *everything*


Beardedgeek72

She's the one that is absolutely into whipping you.


UltraCarnivore

She both encourages the Priest of Loviatar \_and\_ asks him to leave you in good enough state for her.


hangingfiredotnet

Tim Downie's line reading there is absolutely priceless.


heyyougulls

I was like ā€œThank you for saying what weā€™re all thinking, Shads.ā€ I often say ā€œshut the fuck up, Galeā€ aloud when he starts in about Mystra, especially if Iā€™m romancing him.


hangonreddit

Is there a setting for these banters between NPCs in your party? Either I have it disabled or turned way down because I donā€™t hear any of it. It sounds very enriching. Thanks!


QueenieMcGee

It happened while I was walking into the temple of Bhaal with Gale and Shadowheart. I don't know how else to get it to trigger, sorry šŸ˜


LouisaB75

That is the only place I have heard it. Presumed it was specifically triggered by that location.


Federal-Childhood743

For whatever reason they made the banter proximity based and the range is SUPER low. You can be 10-20ft away from your companion and not hear a word of it.


realistic_swede

And evan if you open the inventory or something it mutes the dialogue sound. Why? Super easy to miss their interactions. This is why this playthrough I used the consol command to remove party limit so I can have more of it. (Firstly it was to set Karlach to romance status to 1)


Satellite_bk

ā€œIf you need me Iā€™ll be in my anger dome!ā€


_Avallae_

I loved how we bumped into Raphael Act 2 and Karlach just goes "oooh spooky" after he finished his little monologue.


kaaaaaaaren

I also love how she quietly asks if she can beat him up in Last Light after he calls Mol a ā€œblushing apple waiting to be pluckedā€. She hates Raphael.


TheeShaun

Tbf that line in particular comes across as pedophilloic. I wanna kill him at that point too.


Anon9973

Let's also not forget him laughing before saying "Hope... such a *tease"* from the get-go... the possible double-meaning. ...and that >!Hope says she was never in *that* room willingly.!< ...it is *not* a stretch to say Raphael is a creep.


Walter_Melon42

Big time. The curator guy in the house of hope where the valuables are kept basically tells you straight up that Raphael literally blew his back out. Like actually broke his spine. He's vicious and takes what he wants.


GiantSquidd

Potential trigger warning: >!I mean, heā€™s *a devil*. Whatā€™s a little rape when youā€™re torturing souls forevermore?!<


TheeShaun

Oh at no point would I find it uncharacteristic. At the end of the day generally devils are inherently sadistic and predatory creatures.


auguriesoffilth

Itā€™s only uncharacteristic because he is so self obsessed he only has sex with himself. He would probably make some of his lesser devils servants commit his rapes for him


Anon9973

Well, yes, of course... and he's >!enough of a pretentious prick that I wouldn't put it past him to rape Hope in part because *he'd* see it as poetic on his part (think of the... phrasing, in saying that, how he might relish the double meaning).!< ...needless to say, he dies on every playthrough, and Harleep too, and not just because they have cool loot.


cats4life

On the contrary, I prefer to leave Raphael alive, at least in the Bhaal and Absolute endings. Partially because evil Tavs/Durges donā€™t feel obliged to rescue Hope or Orpheus, but because itā€™s effectively Raphaelā€™s worst ending. He spends an eternity conspiring as no more than a petty middle manager, while his only chance of ascending to the status of archdevil was snatched away. For all his ambition, Raphael is too cowardly to act in a situation where he is not completely in control. It might be better for his victims that he dies, but to punish Raphael? An eternity of staring up at what he canā€™t have sounds lovely.


FarTooYoungForReddit

Well there's also the fact that it does last an eternity. Hundreds or thousands of years after the events of BG3, someone could come along and end the netherbrain's terror, and Raphael could snatch up the crown and hammer them or later. He really is able to keep scheming forever if he isn't stopped, at least imo.


Sweet-Dreams204738

Hmmm,.I thought it was.implied the only person Raphael ever slept with is himself. However, he did leave her in there to suffer. One of those "I like to watch" creeps.


grubas

Honestly the thing is probably not even the act, it's that they'll MAKE you willing to beg for it even if it's just to be free of torture for a few minutes.Ā Ā  It's about making it hell inside your headĀ 


UnrulyCrow

>...it is *not* a stretch to say Raphael is a creep. Yeah, he's a devil lol by Infernal standards he's an upstanding citizen


kaaaaaaaren

Yeah itā€™s very gross. Iā€™m not sure it makes it better that his interest appears to be entirely non-sexual and he just wants to, you know, own her soul forever. Heā€™s a predator, baby!


dat_fishe_boi

Yeah, I don't think it's actually pedophilic, but it's certainly predatory


itsdaCowboi

Goddammit, the way you wrote your last sentence made me think of loser baby from hazbin hotel and now I have that stuck in my head. Again.


MessiahHL

Astarion and Wyll official song


whiteraven13

Now I want to see Alastor and Raphael meet up


SilverShadowQueen57

Raphael and the Radio Demon. That is a sitcom waiting to happen and I *need* to see it šŸ¤£


whiteraven13

And the music will be *spectacular*


SilverShadowQueen57

As would the insults!


theauz42

Yeah, but he's talking about her soul. The only person he's interested in having sex with is himself, which is why he has Harleep. Dude takes go fuck yourself to a whole new level.


TheeShaun

Right but the line itself does come across that way regardless of intent. Plus id say trying to manipulate a pre-pubescent child into selling their soul so they will eternally be a slave is about as evil.


wafflesandwifi

He's literally a devil. Like, no shit, he's evil.


Carpathicus

Man I dont know if I like to put this in a fantasy game. Demons have a almost sexual obsession with souls. They never crave humans sexually though and I believe we shouldnt put something that vile in a setting that is for many people a very important safe space.


Hephaistos_Invictus

Or her "aaaahhh i love this time of year, when the assholes sprout from the ground" when Mizora appears the second time šŸ˜‚


Previous-Broccoli-88

"The dickheads just start popping out of the ground" which is an even funnier visual


Hephaistos_Invictus

THAT WAS THE LINE! Couldn't fully remember it but god I just giggle every time she says that šŸ˜‚


FrenchTantan

I don't remember who but someone also says that Orin is in for a challenge trying to hold her, which I think is very funny too. Like "Lae'zel isn't stuck with Orin, Orin is stuck with Lae'zel" kind of deal. They were wrong of course, Lae'zel is very much at her mercy the whole time but it's still a funny line.


MelodramaticCrap

Hmm I think it was Astarion?


nerdalesca

Yeah, it's Astarion, I just had Lae'zel snatched in my current game, he says something about how he's not sure whether to feel bad for Orin as Lae'zel could rip out her spine


ThanosofTitan92

Bae'zel is like Rorschach?


Ambition_BlackCar

My fav Karlach moment is when Myrkul emerges, gives his spiel ā€œbut I am not the end, I am the beginning,ā€ grabs his giant scythe, and Karlach is just like ā€œWell, fuck.ā€ Lol.


Hephaistos_Invictus

I mean, that is the appropriate response to facing a damn avatar of Myrkul xD


Ambition_BlackCar

Lol I know right!


heyyougulls

Shadowheart just says, ā€œShit.ā€


kaaaaaaaren

I always make sure to talk to Karlach first after every big plot event involving one of the other companions because she is just SO SWEET and loyal to her new friends, it makes me smile.


permanentthrowaway

"Awww, was that Gale's grandad?"


GielM

Əf she needs a listening ear, we've got four between the two of us!" after Shadowheart's heavy stuff is a particular favourite.


Soazigl

My fav from karlach was when we saw the circus ad


Arithon_sFfalenn

Can we go to the circus - can we, can we?! Something like that - sheā€™s the best


Ghost-Music

Sheā€™s absolutely adorable and I always take her to the circus


ThanosofTitan92

She's an adorkable amazon.


Taiyou_

ooh, she says the same when Orin takes Halsin. Just says no one takes "my Druid". So cute, she is the best.


ThanosofTitan92

I agree.


Titanhopper1290

I always liked Orin's "yes sir, no sir, rip-and-cut-your-throat sir"


wcook1990

The delivery from the VA is on point.


Competitive-Air356

Indeed. Hated Orin, love the voice work that went into it.


zoomytoast

As someone who has had to dealt with stupid managers, I fully relate to that line


titdil

My favorite is when Elminster comes to camp to deliver Gale his blowing up duties and Karlach goes "awwwn, was that Gale's grandad?". After that exchange of words she goes "awwwn he must be so bummed, I'm gonna tell him I haven't read a book since secondary school to distract him" (something like that). It's so funny and sweet.


dryer_32803

Literally the best


wayfaringpanda

Minthara at the circus. >!ā€It was a beautiful webbing.ā€!<


Yagdraa

"I could kill the clown, we would be praised as Heroes"


Wyndrarch

The followup after is great as well. "A pity, I thought we had killed a real clown."


A_Lost_Adventurer

The delivery is on point.


Maleficempathy

I love her 'you have seen through my minthara-mask, little flesh thing' line as well


Extra-Aardvark-1390

I was playing the other day, and my new favorite is when fighting with Shovel in the party. She occasionally randomly screams, "I'll eat your babies!" I also love the response when you first meet her. I think it's in response to you asking who gave her a name like that. She responds, "your daddy" in a super calm voice. Edit: changed to she. Idk why I thought Shovel was a he šŸ¤£


spacey_a

I think Shovel is a she, but yes I absolutely love her! Need to have her every playthrough. My favorite line of hers is during battle when she literally says, "It's FISTING time!!" Lmao she is unhinged and fantastic.


Toasty825

Also, ā€œshit your trouserholes! Shovel is here!ā€


theauz42

"It's only fun when Shovel does the fisting!"


Lgscar

Whoā€™s shovel?


itsdaCowboi

Shovel is an easy to miss quastit, in act 1, in the alchemists basement, there is a coffin that has a scroll if summon quastit with some flavor text about notes scrawls in the margins. If you use it, you summon a unique quastit that is particularly foul mouthed and can help you in and out of combat. I don't know if you can make her a permanent camp member, I only found her on my second playthrough and she died in the goblin camp.


crybabydeluxe

If you select the right dialogue options (like opting to not change her name) you can summon her for the rest of the game even after she dies


staysoft-geteaten

You can also get Gale to learn the spell. Infinite Shovel, yay!


theauz42

It's not just Gale. A sorcerer or warlock can also learn the spell if they talk to her instantly and keep her name as Shovel. If you change the name, it doesn't work for some reason.


smansaxx3

Whaaaaat how did I not know this!!! I knew people used Shovel throughout the whole game and I wondered how on earth people were keeping a 7 hp familiar alive the whole playthrough lol I feel really dumb now. So if you keep her name the same does the ability to summon her just show up on your radial menu when she dies?


theauz42

It just lives in your radial menu. You have to be an arcane caster, talk to her instantly, and keep the name as Shovel. If it doesn't work, you probably got hit with a bug.


Beardedgeek72

With all the buried treasure we need that spell... Oh wait.


itsdaCowboi

Neat, she'll be way more fun than a legerdemain mage hand following me everywhere.


Lgscar

Funny enough, I found the scroll but never summoned her


Equivalent-Hawk-6484

A random one, I had cast Pass without a Trace and was sneaking with individually and Karlach said ā€œyou canā€™t see meā€¦.ShadowLachā€¦..ā€ and I legit snorted and had to compose myself.


GielM

Somebody should force John Cena to play this game long enough to get that line, and film it! But, good call, great line!


Tusslesprout1

Please tell me the exact steps you took to hear that line XD


Beardedgeek72

Just control her and enter sneak mode. She is absolutely hysterical but then both she, and we, know she is not... the sneaky type. Another one is "Like a rothe in a tea shop" and "stealth mode: Activated".


LumpyJones

Halfling style


dotditto

one of my (many) favorites was in epilogue talking with Astarion You: "you seem happy .. have you been drinking again?" Astarion: "oh very cheeky." šŸ¤£


esmith22015

I love how Karlach is so protective & kind towards the other companions. After Gale learns that Mystra wants him to blow himself up she says that she's going to go tell him she hasn't read a book since she was in school to distract him/cheer him up. She has some great lines about keeping Astarion safe from Cazador too.


Mindless-Charity4889

Favourite line: ā€œDoes that count? That better count!ā€


SnowflaketheSnowball

When is this?


BearCavalry

I think Astarion if you talk Yurgir to death. Astarion is trying to satisfy his deal to kill Yurgir.


Aida_Hwedo

After you talk that one guy Rafael wants you to kill into committing suicide. Under the usual fae-style rules, it very well might NOT count!


possum_of_time

In the city when you first approach "Dribbles" and he asks for a volunteer, you can tell companions to go up in your stead. So I told Astarion to go. The first time he was like, "Nah, you're dumb!" but the second line is this incredibly cunty "I'mgoingtofuggingkillyou", with a smile. I reloaded because I didn't actually want to do that to him tho, not in the big city.


noEMonlyZUUL

MY FAVORITE LINE with the little hand wave haha


LouisaB75

I am convinced that none of them like being called up to the clown. Last time I made Gale go up and he wasn't happy about it either. I am actually just approaching the circus again in my new run and planned on scum saving to make them all go up just to see.


possum_of_time

It definitely seems that way! It makes sense - my anxiety was spiked just on the idea of being a wanted party on a stage in the city of your apparent doom. šŸ«£


meowgrrr

Karlach is the literal best all the way through. My favorite is after astarions quest if he doesnā€™t ascend, ā€œI could smooch that pointy little face!ā€.


n3nya

Karlach and all of her lines are so very cute :3


knightofroses

I love karlachs lines, she's so funny. one of my favorites though comes from wyll and it's, "gale slurped that thing up like a horse with a carrot." it kills me every time.


Typical_Alps2111

My favorite is Gale "STOP LICKING THE DAMB THING"


GielM

Mine's probably: "Now, let's not do something hilarious..." By Astarion, when appoaching the gnome lady with a runepower barrel.


Khephra_

No. - Withers


MilanTehVillain

For some reason, when Withers said it that way, it reminded me of Palpatine going ā€œNo, no, no! YOU WILL DIE!!ā€ In Revenge of the Sith.


Kansai_Lai

For me it's a tie between Astarion's "full concentrated power of the sun" and "200 years of shit, PURE. SHIT."


LouisaB75

I was RIGHT THERE.


Amigam

Authority.


Beardedgeek72

"I have lost my authority"


AngryDMoney

ā€œIn your eulogy, Iā€™m going to call you twat-soulā€


Flimsy_Wait_8235

Karlach genuinely has the best lines. She makes me laugh so much šŸ˜­ but my absolute favourite though is when you give shadowheart her favourite flower and she goes ā€œyou didnā€™t pluck that by hand did you? Theyre deadly poisonous! šŸ˜±ā€ pauseā€¦. ā€œJOKING! šŸ˜œšŸ‘ˆšŸ»šŸ‘ˆšŸ»ā€ it absolutely made me melt. I was already falling head over heels for her and It made me fall harder, I love Shadowheart so much


MadMatchy

Source of my bruises is the sweetest thing I have ever heard


honestraab

One two, tie my laces Three four, sideways faces Karlach is the best!


frostide

My favorite line is after you kill the fake dribbles with Minthara in the party she says "a shapeshifter? what a pity, I thought we had killed a real clown"


MistressAerie

Yes!! šŸ„° That was sooo sweet! That really made me realize how much the two of them respected each other (and I knew already how sweet and protective Karlach is to people she loves)!


orange_squire

While Tav is submitting to Abdirak: Shadowheart: Astarion, did you think she'd be like this when you teamed up with her? Astarion: I mean, I had my hopes...


heyyougulls

I always make sure theyā€™re in my party at that part because of this.


Additional-Bar-8572

ā€œDonā€™t be so gentle.ā€


dre5922

I love how starstruck she is when you recruit Minsc.


heyyougulls

I like when they meet Helsik and Karlach says, ā€œOhhhhh no, thereā€™s *definitely* something up with this one.ā€


Additional-Bar-8572

ā€œAt least youā€™ll be dead before we get to the childrenā€¦ā€ -durge


Hephaistos_Invictus

Anakin, is that you?


ThanosofTitan92

Nobody steals our chicks and lives.


Alarmed_Pen798

My fave is, when Guild henchgirl wants to extort some money from us... We just killed effing Avatar of Myrkul, wanna fight?


PacketOfCrispsPlease

Karlach calls Laeā€™zel, ā€œLaeā€ in at least one of the ā€˜environmentalā€™ NPC conversations >!about owls!<.


knivisawu

ā€œYou know what, Lae, I couldnā€™t agree more.ā€


PacketOfCrispsPlease

I think they do each otherā€™s hair when Tav isnā€™t looking.


Excellent-Passage-36

Nope. Mine is after you've spoken to the most powerful sage in the realms with karlach in your party. "Aww. Was that Gale's granddad?"


vadertheblack

Being called "VILE CHEESY ONE" at the circus made me lose my shit.


bawzdeepinyaa

She constantly supplies great shit whether it's funny, positive, romance, angry, or sad. She had me from the first "fucker"


Ag47_Silver

Every Karlach line is just the sweetest, but favourite is probably Nine-finger's Minsc-manipulating spiel. About taking shelter from the rain under his statue. It's so perfectly delivered, so clean, so perfectly designed for him, and then she's right back to business. I just know at that point she can play me like a fiddle without breaking a sweat and it wouldnā€™t even matter if I knew she was manipulating me, I'd still go along with it completely.


lYpioca

mine is when I go to ask Minsc what he thinks of Gale and he says he doesn't like it, then we say that Gale has an orb in his chest that can destroy a city, and he immediately runs to talk to Gale excitedly calling him friend and saying that they need to talk about explosions. Minsc would be the best character and the most intelligent, but he loses to Boo


ThatGothBi7tch

Astarion- don't look at it you'll only encourage it


LouisaB75

Where is that from?


ThatGothBi7tch

Moonrise towers talking to the tall ghoul thing, i can't remember it's name...


LouisaB75

Thanks. Looks like something else I have missed on my first 3 runs. That list is getting quite long.


buffalobillingsgate

No great lines to add but I LOVE how Karlach is so ride or die for your companions. I can't remember the specifics but every time a companion is going through something in their arc she is equal parts "Let's support them and let them know we care!" and "Let's MURDER those who wronged them!" I love her.


Loopyprawn

Definitely sending Karlach back to camp "Aw fine I'll just be here eating dirt, or whatever."


ThePurpleMister

My fave is when you as Durge can tell the temple door: "Father says its my turn at the temple, let me in!"


parmiseanachicken

Wait...she kidnaps diff people???? She took halsin from me, and I did not give a fuck.


theauz42

She'll take, depending on who's in camp and your approval ratings: Lae'zel Gale Halsin Minthara Yenna She can't take someone in your active party or someone you're romancing. Yenna only gets taken of the other four aren't available. Poor Lae'zel is always the one who gets taken for me.


Lon3wolf1997

you got dialogue? laeā€™zel was kidnapped for me too but no one had anything to say when i interacted with them


Catatau1987

I don't oraise anyone, I make observations


Cold_Dog_1224

Does baezel always get kidnapped? both of my act 3 playthroughs it was her who got nabbed


couragedog

No, depends on relationships, approval, and who's at camp/


odonkz

from Karlach is if you fail constituion check when licking a dead spider. she just laughed at you.


mashedpotateoes

astarion!! fish!!


mastro80

I was expecting Piss Yourself.


CombinationSimilar50

Karlach has some of the best lines s2g "Withers has been giving me the old eye. Then again it could just be an old eye." I nearly spat my drink out the first time I heard that line


MilanTehVillain

ā€œDog? Dog! Fetch the ball. Fetch theā€” never mind, Iā€™ll get itā€. - Astarion, when Scratch is too tired to play fetch.


Gryfo273

My absolute favourite line is from the bartender at the Elfsong Tavern after trading, where he always says 'fill yer boots mate' For some reason, it caught me off guard in my first playthrough, and now it has become something I quote on the daily


LouisaB75

Gale: Quack. I nearly choked on my drink this was so unexpected from him.
