My Dark Side (Durge x Astarion) | BG ~ 3 | The Nightsong

WARNING!!! CONTAINS PARTIAL NUDITY!!! I DID MY BEST IN THE EDITS TO LIMIT THE EXPOSURE, BUT IF IT STILL MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE, DON’T WATCH

This was originally meant as a bonus to an upcoming tribute, but I decided against it. It’s taking too long, haha!

Just to clarify: my canon & real gameplay is non-Ascendant Astarion, my Durge rejecting Bhaal & destroys the Netherbrain. I did the opposite gameplay just to get the scenes for this tribute. The way things play out in the upcoming tribute I mention above is how I play for real.

A big thank you & shoutout to the following users on Nexusmods (of course all creators to every mod I use deserve it, but these in particular):

mschi3ffmanagdx https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate... for helping me w/ my Durge’s bodytextures.
Labotor https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate... for the glowing horns template.
hawkeye0501 https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate... & Gamerworf https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate... for uploading their saves!
I wouldn’t have been able to get all scenes w/out them.

No dialogues

Clips
Baldur’s Gate 3 ~ Tiefling Lanivae, Dark Urge origin + Astarion origin + Karlach origin, appearance-swapped to Astarion

Also used too many meshswaps & way too many mods

The scenes w/ Lani switching from Durge w/ red, glowing eyes to her regular ones is simply done w/ clever editing. For example, I use 3 different clips for the scene where Durge tears Gale’s hand off: one clip w/ her regular eyes & the lava-version of her glowing horns. Then, I gave her the red glowing horns & red eyes, using the “No pupil” preset from the mod “Eyes of the Beholder” https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate... The regular eyes is also using this mod, but the “Cat eyes w/out glow” preset & the first color-version of Flame White.
I did a second one w/ red that also had her wearing the “blood-lips” from the mod “Warpaint Tattoos Galore” https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate...
I did the same w/ the kicking of the squirrel, but only two clips were needed here, one w/ regular eyes & one red, glowing eyes.
The different transitions are simply clever editing w/ different effects.
