Astarion is great and I like having an evil character in the group. However, I think his approval/disapproval system could use some work. Astarion is a slave to his vampire lords and it seems to be a big part of his character's personality. However, his opinion of me when freeing slaves is confusing. Whenever I save and free slaves, Astarion's approval of me goes down. I would think that since Astarion has been a slave for a long time, his approval of me would increase as I show that I will be willing to fight for his freedom.
His own freedom, not someone else's. Astarion doesn't show empathy towards others. Also, freeing the slaves puts you in conflict with the absolute forces, which he wants to align with, so you are acting against his interests, hence disapproval.
