So my main character just woke up in camp to find Astarion poised over her, ready to bite. I wanted to see whether he'd even try to control himself, so I agreed to let him feed and didn't interrupt after the first nibble. Unsurprisingly, poor Nimue died.

So far, so good, Gale talked to the skeleton, who resurrected her, but then things got weird. Of course the first thing I did was to confront Astarion, who said something along the lines of "I apologised, what more do you want?" He had not yet apologised of course, and there was no mention at all that he had actually killed her - my dialog options didn't contain anything like that either. Now, I imagine that just having been killed by someone you trusted might be a tad upsetting, and "oops" is not an appropriate reaction. The entire conversation seemed off, like another conversation was supposed to happen before it, and could definitely do with another look or two from one of the writers.

That's the conversation meant to happen if you stop him.

I told Astarion to fuck off after he held a knife to my throat and i didn't get an option to draw my weapon and kill him.

So what exactly happen here? Did Astarion kill the main char or a side NPC? and after it happened, did you get a chance to actually ya know...fight him?

From my first interaction with him, he just seems like bad fan-fic that has plot armor.

He killed the main character. I could have tried a Persuasion check to stop him, but I was curious to see whether he'd try to hold back of his own accord.

To stop him was a persuasion check? So if you fail is it game over then lol?

Well, I could have told him "no" in the first place, and I suspect nothing would have happened then other than continuing the trip with a hungry vampire in tow. The agreement was that he'd get a sip and then stop. Naturally, once he got going he ignored the agreement, and that's where the Persuasion check came in.
