Baldur's Gate 3: This is What a Female Astarion Looks Like

A creative Baldur's Gate 3 player has taken it upon themselves to see what Astarion would look like if he were female. Astarion remains one of the most popular companions in Baldur's Gate 3 due to his charming wit and his own personal quest, which spans the entire length of the game.
The companions in Baldur's Gate 3 are arguably the most important part of the experience. They comment on everything that players do, forming their own opinions and taking action accordingly. If a companion feels strongly enough about the player's actions, they'll simply leave the party for good. This creates real consequences throughout the game, and makes every playthrough feel dramatically different, depending on the actions taken by gamers.
The female version of Astarion was posted by Redditor blue-flu, who shared the creation with the game's community. While the user never explicitly mentions it in the thread, most seemed to think it had been done via FaceApp, rather than being a Baldur's Gate 3 mod that players can actually use in-game. Some couldn't hide how they felt about female Astarion, with one user giving a simple «I can fix her.» Others felt that it needed some of the laugh lines, eye bags, and bite marks re-added, to bring back some of Astarion's character into the creation.
Since the launch of Baldur's Gate 3, fans have found plenty of unique ways to show their passion for the game. Sometimes, this manifests in the way of in-game mods, and other times, players pay tribute outside of the game. Just recently, one Baldur's Gate 3 fan created an incredibly detailed map showing almost all the game's locations, ensuring that other players can have a playthrough without missing a single area. These types of creations are awesome, as they have real practical use in-game.
Almost seven months since the game was first released, Baldur's Gate 3 continues to hit new sales milestones, proving to be one of the biggest critical and commercial successes of 2023. A developer as talented and dedicated to its community as Larian Studios is almost impossible to root against, and it's exciting to see it continue to find further success post-launch. The studio has continued to support the game with patches and hotfixes, even adding new features that were not in Baldur's Gate 3 at launch. In the meantime, the community eagerly awaits what comes next for one of the best RPGs ever made.
Baldur's Gate 3 is a Dungeons and Dragons inspired RPG developed and published by Larian Studios. Featuring both a single player and cooperative element, players create their character by selecting a starting class, take on quests, level up, and engage in turn-based combat using the D&D 5th edition rule set.
