Well, I did romance Astarion in my first run (also, I dunno, he didn't come off as gay to me in the least, just a shameless flirt - also, yes, I'm a married woman so)... it was real quick tho, he goes on from hating my good ways, to liking me letting him do his thing with his vampirism and then suddenly, it's party time and he's like 'let's bang, mkay?'. And then... I realized a missed a lot of content with companions cause I made it a point to not use tadpole powers a single time during my first playthrough through the EA. Was curious if it would make any difference, but nope. You just skip a crapload of content that way... maybe Larian has something planned for people like me further down the line? Anyway, I decided to make more or less the same choices again, but this time whenever I see a tadpole dialogue option, I will take it, save scum it if need be. Like I'm legit curious how much extra content there is for players who just let themselves be corrupted by the tadpole. Come full release I ofc will do 2 runs again - 1 with 0 tadpole abusing, and another with full blown mind control and see the differences in endings. Larian, you best not make it goddamn Mass Effect 3 - 3 color ending fiasco. Just saying. :P
