I can't even close my eyes without— without seeing him. Cazador.

Mod features
This mod restores two Early Access scenes for Astarion:
1. Astarion's first dream (added in version 2!): The morning after you meet your Dream Guardian, you can talk to Astarion about it in camp
2. Astarion's nightmare: Tav witnesses Astarion having a nightmare and can talk to him about it after
I haven’t made any changes to the original dialogue, so some parts of the scene don't fully align with the full release game's story. Also, both of these conversations can potentially set flags (e.g. if you learn about Cazador or Astarion's scars for the first time here), which can impact future conversations.
In the future, I might create an alt, reworked version that betters fits canon. But until then, if you're willing to slightly suspend disbelief and experience this moment for yourself, darling, here you are. 💅
Changes made:
-
[]I did change this to a nighttime scene since Astarion can close the conversation with "Good night." Early Access had him rolling around in the mud in broad daylight 😆[/]
[]Fixed some bugged flags in the first discussion[/]
[]The "enticing" dialogue option will only be available in the nightmare scene if Astarion mentioned it in the first conversation and you did not learn the truth about it then[/]
How to unlock both scenes
Astarion's first dream
Astarion will have a [ ! ] over his head in camp the morning after you meet your Dream Guardian the first time.
Notes:
-
[]This conversation goes away if you leave camp[/]
[]If you do talk to him, it'll replace his full release Dream Guardian reaction ("I had the strangest dream last night. There was a visitor offering me protection and all sorts of delicious powers..")[/]
Astarion's nightmare
This is a camp night event and will be unlocked when these requirements are met:
-
[]This conversation goes away if you leave camp[/]
