Yeah, I don't love the way this encounter is programmed. It's actually extra weird if you DO interject with Shadowheart - i.e. press the switch characters button on the bottom left to swap to Shadowheart.

Your main character and Astarion will literally just be standing there, looking at each other (not rolling on the ground) like any other NPC dialogue.

You can then use Shadowheart to shank him though.


Honestly, I think this encounter would a perfect tutorial for swapping characters mid-conversation, and introducing non-lethal damage. Make having Shadowheart knock Astarion out with non-lethal damage a clear option.
