Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Does Astarion have a soul or not? If not, why does Raphael make him an offer?

Hmm.

So BG2 is suddenly the unquestionable reference now ?

Also, I thought the problem of Bodhi and Irenicus was that they lost the connection to the tree of life, not that they lost their soul. Not sure what that actually means, only that Irenicus was unable to have feelings and Bodhi somehow regained this ability by being a vampire. In both cases, the root problemm was that they are elves.



We have evidence for both interpretations in this thread.



Purely logically, I would classify anything that has free will as still having a soul (somewhere), thus vampires would still have to have theirs. Otherwise I would like to know who exactly is at the driver seat in a vampire, if they have no soul.



Bram Stoker vampires could only be "cured" by being killed, as far as I remember.
