Baldur's Gate 3: This is What a Female Astarion Looks Like

A creative Baldur's Gate 3 player has taken it upon themselves to see what Astarion would look like if he were female. Astarion remains one of the most popular companions in Baldur's Gate 3 due to his charming wit and his own personal quest, which spans the entire length of the game.
