I don't think "foreshadowing" is relevant with Astarion after seeing bloody fangs in loadscreen art or reading "centuries old vampire" in his origin character description.

Even from an entirely in-character perspective his "reveal" scene is really superfluous and lacks any impact or surprise. If properly done, it would be a shocking and memorable scene whenever and wherever you find out.

If only the writers cared more about crafting a proper vampire story with mystery and horror, rather than bluntly including a twilight-esque vampire companion in the cast from day one just because someone somewhere likes vampires. It's a huge missed opportunity.
