You completely lost me with the tangent about these armors "looking end game". By what metric?
And in what way what Astarion is wearing classifies as a "vampire uniform"?
On the writing of these characters I don't really have much to say, yet. We really didn't see much about any of them and the overwhelming amount of comments I'm reading on the topic seems to be mostly reactionary and based on gut feelings rather than well thought (i.e. "How dare this woman being guarded against me rather than immediately think I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread? The nerve of this bitch!").
Thanks god I'm not the only one who didn't know what a vampire uniform is supposed to be.
