Raphael can't know what a vampire ascendant will be like simply because that has never happened before. He's the one speculating at that point.

Killing 7k+ people is a decision that will make it impossible to remain a good person. He may have his 'life' again, his feelings. That won't stop his deed from only warping those feelings further. Altogether with his general personality.

If you play as Astarion - sure, you can start acting like a saint, but that will hardly be anything but self-deception. What truly happened to him is shown in the game and is no longer speculation but strict game canon. All there is left to do is hope that the devs will change something about the way things happened.
