Again, like many things in this game right now, I think it's all about the execution. Astarion SEEMS like a twilight wannabe vampire spawn.
But that's because they don't let the MC see his true side. He seems fun and friendly and such, and he SAYS he doesn't feast on people. Hah! I'll wager we'll find out he's really just a lying scheming murderous backstabber in the end.
Maybe. 😌
Either way, I like him, even if I am leary of him.
He gets giddy about killing kids and tries to murder the MC twice. Maybe i'm alone in this, but his acting like an extremely effeminate homosexual - sorry, posh and grandiose - didn't really hide all that well that he's an evil mofo out for himself.
