I think the author of the topic is a troll. Astarion is an absolute favorite of the majority girls who play the game, and in general, a very charismatic character. And not only girls, it is also a character for the lgbt community which at the same time does not cause irritation heterosexual players like Dorian Pavus (radical gay from Dragon Age Inquisition) which is very good



Thanks to Larian for Baldurs Gate 3 and the reaction to player feedback
