No matter which side you're on, he evokes strong emotions - and that just shows how well written he is..
Please no. Don't assume that my dislike of Astarion is due to how well written he is, like he's a Geoffrey from Game of Thrones or something. He's just a terrible character. He's a pouty vampire that you're forced to be stupid around when you meet him because Larian. That's the entire extent of my feelings around him. I hate him because my character turns into an idiot around him without my choice.
