Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Astarion Alignment (Anyone Agree?)

astarion's alignment is "evil neutral", i am sure.

* astarion laughs at the weak --

astarion do think "evil is beautiful", his pleasure beyond words is reflect his heart, more than he speak the word "beautiful".
a best example, a hag who calls herself auntie ethel. if you save mayrina from the hag and aftermath her things, astarion will tell you "this is a very funny thing.". yes, this doesn't include the word "beautiful" but the statement and his pleasure beyond the word "beautiful".

astarion's laugh doesn't mean sad for mayrian's tragedy，his laugh is just for pleasure.the proof is that if you refute him "this isn't funny, you shouldn't show the manner", and then you can receive his "disagree feedback". if astarion has his kind under his laugh, you won't receive his "disagree" from his sincere reaction. on the contrary, you ought to receive his "agree" from his sincere reaction.

astarion was an unfair judge, this makes him have many sworn enemies, and one day astarion is ambushed by his sworn enemies and get in severe danger.
astarion sell his soul, the issue is ling before cazador gives astarion two choices--die or became his vampire spawn. the meanwhile astarion chooses sell his soul.
10 year old child also know most vampires are evil, and will enslave the victims' souls. once one becames a vampire spawn the one will loose everything include his soul, . the fool of people are all know this, not to mention astarion is a judge--a intellectual.

* astarion is afraid dying.

we also can see astarion would like the tadpole's control rather than dying, if "metamorphosis" is coming, he won't have the option "suicide" .
the halsin's assistant -- a female druid gives our player character a bottle of poison for "metamorphosis" 's coming.
astarion said "I can help you suicide if you want die so eager, but for me??, are you joking?"

* astarion is a slavery.
about slavery, there are many styles of slavery, and some of them have their causes, these include non-evil and evil, but good.
the styles of slavery, can be from "lawful natural" to "evil natural" .( i am not sure "evil chaos"?).
so the slaverys in baldur's gate 3 early stage, that show for "lawful evil(zhentarim)" and "evil neutral(absolute)".

i buy the artist is just for releasing him immediately.
does astarion want the artist free? no.
does astarion want the artist be a slave in the camp? yes.

secondly, to the deep gnomes are the same.
does astarion want enslave them? yes, of couse.
does astarion want improision them? yes, of couse.
this is, astarion said "i don't like them (free).", astarion dare not say the word "free", just because the player character is strong then his.
just like the "bite event" astarion said "i can't bite you, just because you are strong then me.".

though i free the artist and deep gnomes, i don't get the continue slavery plots, but i know astarion's plan just the same as his master cazador's steps.
so, astarion's slavery plan is still "evil neutral".

* astarion succumbs to the strong.

astarion sells his soul to cazador and never mind to sell his soul to raphael, he also never mind under his tadpole's control(abusee the power of tadpole that astarion can not master, means after all the tadpole will have enough power control astarion), not to mention the absolute's power is much beyond the tadpole.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* astarion purseus the power that he can not master.

the necromancy of they a book that astarion can not master, but astarion is charmed by it?
a more obvioise instance, the tadpole is going to controlling astarion due to astarion abuses the power of tadpole.

* astarion's willpower is weak

if you let astarion suck your blood, and demand him stop failed, you will die because he can not control his blood thirty, due to astarion 's weak willpower.
