Y’all are gonna have to define “spoilers,” because to me, a “spoiler” is something that reveals a major plot point, not a random, completely missable scene that you only come across if you do one certain event that you might not do in a quest that can actually be skipped, and if the RNG gods chose a certain character to bear the brunt of it.

They are probably talking about Astarion being a vampire. Granted it is revealed early and somewhat obvious (deliberately), but still a spoiler

That’s true. I mean, I pegged it as soon as I saw him and the bite scars on his neck the first time you see him, so if that’s it, that part didn’t even register, it was so long ago in my playthrough.

At a month out, though, I think people are gonna have to deal with early game “spoilers” being out there. Five minutes on tumblr and you know Gale’s whole story at this point.

While I don’t have a problem with this particular post, the “it’s been out for a while so I’m not going to be careful about spoiling” attitude has never been helpful in video game discussion. Especially for a game that’s about to see an influx of players from another release shortly, and then again late in the year.

You also included one of the methods of triggering a voice line in the title itself. Double spoilers that could have been avoided if you ended the title before the colon.

He has bite scars on his neck?!? Man, the PS5 is fun to play on, but it certainly misses out on some of the finer graphical details.

It doesn’t say anything about him being a vampire in the headline, I think? I’d be pissed if you shot me with a sun ray too. If I didn’t die.

I took that bit out of the headline here just in case, but it’s still in the headline of the story, so anyone clicking on it will see it.

His description on the character creation screen outright says he’s a vampire. Easy enough to miss if you jump for the custom creator right away, but he’s the first origin character in the list.

I didn’t even see the origin screen when I created my character, and I’ve never played either of the first two games. I don’t think it was obvious just by game play that he’s a vampire, for one, he’s walking around in sunlight. I was very surprised by that bite scene where his true nature is revealed. That’s a pretty big spoiler.

Doesn’t he reveal it in literally the first conversation with him? Or do you have to actually talk to him a second time to get that detail? That’s hardly a spoiler.

You just took away the ability from anyone seeing this post to discover it on their own. In other words you SPOILED IT. Hence, spoiler.

To discover he’s a vampire? His character video in the character creation part tells you that.
