Astarion speaking with his hands in Baldur's Gate 3 (a body language freecam compilation)

I was playing around with freecam one day and saw that he does this little... sheepish/coy/nervous playing-with-his-hands thing a lot so I made a compilation. This video is every time Astarion Ancunín from Baldur's Gate 3 does this hand gesture, as seen using the Otis Freecam mod.

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD

I think I've caught all the moments this happens, but honestly, I am always finding something new, so maybe not. There are a few that are similar that I didn't include cause he was pointing more at himself rather than doing this motion. He seems to do it when he's flirting a lot, but also when he needs you to be on his side for something. Maybe even when there's some sort of hesitation or a lack of confidence in the subject matter.


Clip conversations are from:

Act 1: the first night at camp, the morning after Durge kills someone (with Astarion as your only party member), first time using the tadpole (with others and only him), first time asking Astarion to drink your blood (pre-patch 7), the whose blood would you drink conversation (if you let him bite you and also a Durge-exclusive option), asking him about his past after knowing he's a vampire, the drunk on bear blood conversation, the goblin party, his 40 approval or higher proposition (if you let him bite you), him propositioning you for sex a second time, consuming a tadpole, after meeting Vlakkith as a gith/Lae'zel

Act 2: Discussing who can decipher his scars (knowing they're infernal and not knowing they're infernal and also after meeting Raphael without him), during his romanced confession scene, after putting your hand into the wall at Moonrise Towers

Act 3: During the love test, propositioning the drow twins if romanced (before completing The Pale Elf quest), after Mizora says she'll be at camp, after fighting the vampire spawn at camp, discussing who Godey is in Cazador's palace after talking to a servant, talking to Godey after trying to open the ballroom door, while talking to the children in the crypt, right before fighting Ulma and the Gur (Ascended only), right before turning you into a vampire spawn (Ascended only), in the astral plane after talking to the Emperor but before deciding on who will wield the stones, talking to him after becoming Ilithid if you romanced him (spawn only), seeing the githyanki leave on the docks (spawn only), saying you'll hide in the underdark after becoming an ilithid (spawn only)

Epilogue: Ilithid who romanced him (spawn only), Shadowheart origin with her parents alive (spawn only), Duke Wyll origin (spawn only), Duke Wyll origin (Ascended only), God Gale origin (Ascended only), romanced Astarion but went to Avernus with Karlach (Ascended only)
