I really don't like Astarion at all. He gives me bad Twilight/True Blood vibes and I hate, what those and similar books/movies did to the vampire genre. Plus, he tries to kill me in the beginning and I really don't care about his 'tragic' backstory, when he himself is just a selfish and evil asshole. So yeah, he is my least favorite character. The feeling is usually mutual in my playthroughs, since I like to play good characters and he hates my guts. I did kill him, send him away and give him to the Gur in different playthroughs. It was very satisfying.
And yes, I tried his romance, it was awful, didn't like it.
