I mean right? Nothing is more annoying than a super villain with super villainous powers over-burdened by pedestrian pangs of conscience and retrograde morality. Particular proclivities, a sense of style, or discerning tastes, sure! But don't backtrack on the vampirism itself! Like just get with it! I mean have a heart if you have to, but also have a heart! They can't all be Gary Oldman or Tom Waits I guess, but don't saddle me with yet another wishy washy 'I wish I wasn't' vampire. It was pretty brilliant before they decided to just torch all their set up and hard work allegorizing right when it was coming into genuine focus. That's a cardinal Midnight Mass sin right there hehe.
I won't go there too much with Astarion, but you can probably guess what my criticisms would be from his introduction. It has nothing to do with him trying to bite us, and a lot more to do with the wild boar. I hope it comes back at some point, as a vampire boar, just to rub it in a bit lol
