2. Bad at.

Tavrieth is always helping others, but she's bad at asking anyone to help her, bad at sharing her burdens.

She's so used to surviving alone that asking for help, or accepting it, isn't easy for her

3. Current best friend

If I have to say only one, it's Karlach. Tavrieth loves her joyful personality, she always manages to cheer Tav up.

Tav was so happy when Karlach and Wyll returned from Avernus, and she, Shadowheart, and Astarion adventured together again for a while, like old times. ❤️

4. Physical characteristics / scars

Tavrieth has typical drow skin, and my favorite detail is her beautiful purple eyes. Her hair is darker than most drow's, inherited from her high elf grandfather.

She also has a facial scar, a reminder of an assault attempt she managed to defend herself against.

I'd be quite baffled to suddenly see a drow 😂 and somewhat concerned, for all I know Val'dran to be cautious and polite.

I don't think he'd know what to make of me. Excitable philosophical drama teacher? Who may or may not be at fault for severe harm his way? 😂

I could start this for Tavrieth too 💜

1. Good at.

Well, lockpicking, pickpocketing, trap disarming, and stealth are quite obvious.

But beyond that, she's very good at reading people, she doesn't fall for manipulation attempts and isn't easy to fool. Those skills were essential during her street

I'll just say that way too many.. 😅 I've actually finished the game for 3 times, but restarted so, so many times 🙈 (and I'll say my hours in this game goes way over thousand...)

Adriel @adrielcz.bsky.social · 4d

#tavqotd How many times have you heard the line "Thrall, connect the nerves of the transponder!"? Is your Tav/Durge run your first and only playthrough or have there been many attempts?

Tavethil was my first Tav when I still played on PS5 & I have finished the game 8 times since, with different OCs

A special dedication post to my lovely Discord circle!
I joined them one year ago, and we grew a family with our Tavs. What better way to show some love than to render some portraits? 👀🤭

Without further ado, meet the HamFam!

Augustine fails to see how this is a couples costume.
Dolly doesn't see the issue.

This one was so cute 🥺❤️

A lil Sorn appreciating his lil kitten... I somehow don't think Val'dran minds.

#tav

A picrew of Sorn and Val'dran. Sorn is sitting on his knees and Val'dran is curled up, both of them on a circular bed, and Sorn has heart highlights in his eyes while Val'dran is smiling, wearing cat ears and a tail. They both have speech bubbles with a heart in it.

Eye contact! 🦑💕🦑

(My illithids can't have physical sex as they have nothing going on down there, but eye contact makes their dreams, illusions, hallucinations, whatever - that much more potent.

... Moss also really likes just... being held.
Most vanilla tentacle 'sex' ever, lol.)

Art of two illithids holding each other, arms around each other's backs, tentacles tangled, maintaining eye contact.

Meet Kingsley. Former Drow Wizard who had been turned into an Illithid years and years ago. The Gith attack on the Nautiloid rattled something free in him, and he managed to break free of the Absolute. With a new name taken on, he now has one goal: Destroy the Absolute. Be free. Survive. #bg3tav

Avarice would love either "Hellsing" or "Berserk"; Vesper would be a fan of "InuYasha".

For the most part, Avarice hates being alone. Being alone with his thoughts can send him into internal spirals; anxiety, second guessing, having dark impulses that he has to wrench himself out from... He doesn't trust himself alone.

#TavQOTD
Major lore "pieces" I wasn't expecting as I played Xhaydia: Headcanon'd perm. changes from the Astral-Tadpole & drawing from the Deck of Many Things.

The 1st was fairly devastating for Xhaydia, noticing their Illithid half remained as the others were freed after defeating the Brain (1/2)

If Avarice popped into being at my house this instance, I think both of us would not only be disturbed by this event, but I don't think I'd be safe after all the stuff I've put him through through the years, let alone BG3.
