I've seen one (1) Shenpai video of her playing Baldur's Gate 3, alongside creating a character with @notanegrill for his second play (first play didn't work out so well) and I am already in love with Astarion.
I'm an Astarion enjoyer and damn it not again with the white hair and pointy eared guys who can charm my shoes off in ten or less words. He sees us as food that should not be as attractive but he is a little babo shnookums and he is such a pathetic little thing that I can't help it. He can't say 'CAN I HAVE JUST A LITTLE TASTE' with those tired watery eyes and not expect me to cave in like a caprisun you sucked the air from.
All to the reluctant acceptance of some.
And the support of others.
Can't wait to dream about him.
On the flip side of the 'See mode' tab,
Speaking of dreams we got a real handsome boy this time around and they're so adorable!! I think we named him Asher and he's a Bard, which V didn't expect would matter too much until he realized that being a Wizard was easier to study that alien technology/language while trying to save that other woman. Wow names will be so hard starting from now.
I didn't save any screenshots of his final looks but maybe V will be able to provide eventually. Until then, have some of our conversations during the 2 hour long character creation.
---
V: *Reconsidering his Invitation to have me watch his stream and help make a character while I force him to check every class and read their traits so he could learn*
Me: *Waxing about the traits of Elves/Drow/Half-elves being the same which leaves him with aesthetics to work with.*
V: *Checking out the male and female body types of them in silent appreciation.*
---
Me: *Having hoped he'd show me the genital options because I saw way too many memes and was curious.*
V: *Doesn't even take their clothes off other than to show female dragonborn have cake*
Me: "Fighter is... Well... The most generic role, I guess, around the Archer/Ranger class"
---
V: *Sincerely* "I don't want to be a cutie patootie."
---
V: "Imagine, someone made a human fighter in this game."
Me: "That's like asking for bread with salt."
---
V: "Mmmm... I don't think I like the Monk class very much."
Me: "Surprising, considering you're such a monk-ey. Ahaha- Haha-" *Noticing V stopped moving the mouse around* "V, no, V, don't hang up! Pleasepleasepleaseplease... don't hang up, please!"
---
V: "Are these *points at purple* the shades of a Drow?"
Me: "Generally yeah, I think?" *Surprised I see the 'general' skin shades are also going into normal human skintones*
V: "What if I- OH! NO!"
Me: *Guffawing at snow white princess drow*
---
V: *Clicking through every imaginable hairstyle top to bottom* "This is the first game where changing the hairstyle actually makes the character look different."
Me: *Watching Asher go from pig tails to balding head* "Yeah, yeah, it's like it's a different person every time you click on one."
Both of us: *Silently admiring two hair styles, one of which is very ME and the other being very HIS type*
---
V: "How about we make the Guardian your style now!?"
Me:

I don't know if she's meant to have a name but she is so pretty, I think we ended up making her a Wood Elf so we played along with the forest aesthetic.
I love her.
Also this is the Shenpai video. I forgot Im a fan of her content because it's so fun to watch and the reactions are 1 to 1 with what I would have done. Love the content, the creator, actually the bestest experience of actual gameplay.
