Going full evil still has a super awful ending but I blame that on the endings for the game in general at this point.

Now I need to figure out if it's worth it to go back again just to get Ascendant ending dialogue....
I might be working too hard for breadcrumbs, I just love this game so much! And to see it have all the potential in the world and fall flat in such an unsatisfying way is heartbreaking...

I guess it depends how far back you have to go to get to
the Orin fight to be able to defy Bhaal and get rid of his influence. I usuually do that right before Ghortash and then off to the brain.
It's still a bit, but not that bad. I don't even want to admit how much I have been playing for breadcrumbs lately just to see every kind of variation to certain scenes. *cough* But playing one playthrough with just Astarion as only origin companion was hella fun.

I don't think he needs a perfectly happy ending, just one that gives him respect akin to his development. The man is so much more than a vampire fuckboy. And whoever wrote his ending seems to not know that.

I feel the same. I like his ending. It's hopeful and since we all know that cures for vampirism exist, it's just a matter of time until he and Tav find one. They are freaking lvl 12 heroes. laugh I don't need to see it ingame. But I do want a respectful ending for him. And an expanded end-dialogue that makes sense for two people in love.
