Origin Astarion - Docks Scene Edit

🛑 ENDGAME SPOILERS AHEAD 🛑

This is it.

With the mind flayer's parasite dead, your time in the sun is over.

Playing as Origin Astarion in the vanilla game is a death sentence for Karlach if you don't ascend or turn yourself/her into an illithid: you burn up on the docks first and run away, and then she dies in your absence. I reworked the docks scenes for Avatar Astarion so that he can still be there for Karlach with or without ascending.

This mod is designed for Spawn Astarion players, but I threw in some Ascendant lines, too.

Mod features

Astarion can be there for his fiery friend/wife on the docks regardless of the outcome of his personal quest. If you don't ascend, when the sun starts to burn you, you can now choose between running away or staying with Karlach.

If you choose to stay:

As Spawn Astarion, you will now get the same options as any Tav, romanced or platonic:

• []Accompany Karlach to Avernus

  []If Wyll is Blade of Avernus, have him escort her or go as a group

  []Be there for Karlach in her final moments

  Side note: If some of the new dialogue lines seem familiar, many are paraphrased from his conversation with Origin Karlach --

  If you play as Karlach, Spawn Astarion can and will go with you to Avernus. Ascendant Astarion will offer to as well, but only if you skip his Act 3 romance scene.

  If you choose to run:

  • []Astarion's "running from the sun" cutscene will play as normal.

    []If Wyll is the Blade of Avernus, he will step in and save Karlach in your absence (same as my Blade of Avernus Saves Karlach mod). Otherwise, she will die.

    []If Karlach lives, you will be reunited with her at the epilogue party. If you romanced her, you'll unlock some unique dialogue.

    If you ascended:

    Nothing will change for you, aside from a few extra lines of dialogue:
