I'm trying to get people to maybe, just maybe, consider the possibility - possibility mind you - that Astarion and ALL the origin characters are maybe just a bit more than what you think they are.
Well there's nothing wrong with judging the character based on what has been shown and discussing what has been shown. Because if we just assume everyone is not who they seem and everything they do or say is just a facade, then we players wouldn't have much to talk about, would we? And I'd understand if people find it hard to expect from Larian the kind of character nuance and complexity you're talking about @GM4Him.
Why is it that you think I'm saying that there IS something wrong with the opinions of anyone on this thread? See. That's part of the problem. I'm just trying to provide a difference of opinion, but people seem to think I'm being absolutist, as if I'm saying I'm absolutely right and they are absolutely wrong. On the other hand, I find it ironic that I'm the one getting attacked, being told that I have no basis or foundation for my opinions and that I should just accept that Astarion, and the other characters, are all what they appear to be in the first 20% of the game; especially that Astarion is just some Twilight reject and nothing more.
THIS is why I asked what the point of the whole thread was. If everyone on this thread is really just here to vent about their negative feelings about Astarion, and they aren't willing to have a different opinion expressed, then I'll just exit the thread and leave you all to your Astarion-bashing.
