Astrid was set up as an antagonist from the start, takes some mental gymnastics to get love interest from that.
It looks like LB/Ptolemy made a mistake in the latest update. In ep4part2.rpy:683 they use "scene badend" rather than "jump badend" which causes the bad end to display but not actually end the game.So is this a bug or what? When I wake up, everyone was out of the cave and outside at the hide out, sharon had turned Laurie.
These are the stats. I think any mod would have shown the changes to the stat numbers?

Astrid is crazy to the bone. You can't psychologically diagnose fictional characters obviously but she reminds me of someone I know with borderline personality disorder.you can facepalm my Astrid prediction all you want.....
I just hope you take it with some dignity when the last thing she sees is the MC squirting on her face, then feeling her life drain into his belly.
She is not powerful enough to warrant an asterisk in your brain... drink deeply and freely!Astrid is crazy to the bone. You can't psychologically diagnose fictional characters obviously but she reminds me of someone I know with borderline personality disorder.
As far as diablerizing her, bits of the diablerie victim's soul have been known to come along for the ride and I wouldn't want to risk having Astrid ending up as a voice in my head
What is VS? And how do we get Claws? This seems to be attainable in Ep1 AFAICT.Claws and VS can save you, again, different screens.
mc gets those in early game.What is VS? And how do we get Claws? This seems to be attainable in Ep1 AFAICT.
I've got 34 Stealth and 34 Charisma but only 15 Prowess so I got the same screen.
I wish our disciplines were listed down in our Character Information.
good thing I havw a flexible and open mind.Astrid was set up as an antagonist from the start, takes some mental gymnastics to get love interest from that.
Ah FunFuntomes, Ayhsel Long Long ago called dibs on Astrid.good thing I havw a flexible and open mind.
Let's start from the way our brave but not omnipotent MC met Astrid; by rescuing her from the morgue when her nihilistic nature caused her to fall into torpor... but wait... that's the kind of vampires Arigon likes, but I guess since she didn't turn out to be a genderbending tzimishe, he lost any interest in her, I'm not judging... back on topic at the start Astrid is just a "damsel in distress" with some beef to pick with Sharon. (let's put a pin here so we can talk about it at a later point) Others may not like that type but I'm a sucker for such gal.
From the first meeting she was interested in MC to the point of stalking him, resulting in MC having to thrall Laurie, and our merry bunch of nightwalkers was forced to investigate the situation in scottstown. Meanwhile Astrid acted, and we don't know the extent of arcon Baldie's involvement, with the promise that she could've kept the MC for herself. Maybe she just wanted to irritate Sharon, maybe she wanted to drink the MC dry (although that would imply she knew she could benefit from doing so and MC wouldn't just be a vamp flavored jiuce), perhaps she wanted to entrall him by making him drink her blood, or perhaps, and this is the angle I like the most, Astrid wanted someone to share the unlife with after Sharon's betrayal.
If we compare what Astrid did to Gregor and what Sharon did to Ivy, niether is morally good, but Astrid doesn't pretend to be something she's not ("she's just as ugly as us, but on the inside" said Marric about Sharon) nor denies herself pleasures (Sharon commented when MC's pecker didn't work that he wasn't the one being denied sex).
Astrid was also honest about her actions, both at the investiture and in the car, and she allowed herself to be captured, knowing well that it could spell her final death, yet she took her chances just to get into MC's head and present him an alternative to being Sharon's lap dog. and in the cage we have a variable that could be the start of her path. We also have the broken minded Gregor caling Sharon her disappoinment and telling MC that she (Astrid) would welcome him with open arms.
Now, let's remove the pin from the situation with Astrid and Sharon and how entangled those two are. You're aware Ptolemy pulls his weight in the development of Rebirth, so allow me to remind you of another game he does... Arigon llikes to bring it's rich in lore source material,and I'll just focus on one aspect of that game... In Alexandra, Alex and Izzy are close and the game almost punishes you for not having a trouple relationship with Alex and Izzy, the player is also free to kill one, but that results in MC being killed. From that I deduct there will be hell to pay for giving Astrid to Calisto and that dagger might cost us more than a bloody penny,and that's a price I'm not willing to pay.
Finally, even if we may have sex with Calisto, that's never gonna be more than keeping her busy while Cindy or someone wlse fethches her a drink. So that leaves us a spot on the "five love intests list" that Astrid would gladly take.
Sorry, I just saw thisWhat is VS? And how do we get Claws? This seems to be attainable in Ep1 AFAICT.

thank you for spelling out what she did to Sharon a lot more than I did for those who do not recall!!!And when the MC took Astrid from the Morge he located her by detecting Malice within her. Astrid from her very introduction was not this Damsel in Distress as you suggest. When Astrid woke up all in the house was ready for battle not knowing what she would do. That in my book is a loose Cannon. Extreme Caution is required around her.
The Idea that Astrid was looking for a partner in crime and saw the MC as the flavor of the month I can't say that that can't be ruled out. No Astred's actions show the bitterness that she held against Sharon. Her true intent was to Enthrall Sharon to Marcius and to strip her charge right out from in front of him.
As I stated before Astrid is A Hedonistic Narcissist. And as such, what she can't control and manipulate she will destroy.
Now to Honesty in action The MC utilized Ivy for research purposes at first Sharon found that Ivy had no family ties and used her mind control. This was done only to further the investigation. She did not thrall her until Marcus requested it, again to further the investigations.
Astrid deliberately attempted to destroy the MC's group by soliciting hunters against them. Using Gregor as bait to close the loose ends ruw to the failed attempt.
Because Astrid Betrayed her Kind is the reason why she has a death sentence pronounced upon her. Yes that was called for by the MC as the true De-Facto Archon. Y.ou know as well as anyone here she is over her head in this position Hell if he wantws it hw could probably that the slot away from the princepts as well.
Of course in an AVN like this, we can't have complete license to do as we wish, but Arigon wishes he could have drained her dry on that slab, and quietly closed it back up.... watching Sharon's reaction would have been Priceless!Sorry, I shouldn't laugh but someone said Astrid was a damsel in distress and that's just the ultimate lols.
Almost true: damned in distressSorry, I shouldn't laugh but someone said Astrid was a damsel in distress and that's just the ultimate lols.
I mean, why fuck the hired help when you get the boss lady?no1 has claimed mommy's servant?
Also Cindy is a bit too bitchy and what better way then going after her Calisto and force her to watch?I mean, why fuck the hired help when you get the boss lady?
Seems like a bit of a downgrade.
She can change the sheets when we're done.
