Also, regarding them giving us a new ending for Astarion like they did for Karlach, how much fuss would we have to kick up to get it to happen? Online petitions? Spamming social media? Bogging down the forums with posts and requests about it? I say we start a movement!
I am betting a lot of fuss, look at how many pages Karlach's demand for better endings has lol.
Sure, whenever bad endings are being mentioned people always tend to bring Astarion up... and rightfully so. Ascended Astarion's ending is fine, but spawn Astarion is just beyond bad.
Also add to that the forbidden word: datamining. Everyone knows at this point that the Upper City was supposed to be explorable outside of the last hour or two of the game, but was shafted due to time constraints. Karlach's proper idea for permanently fixing her engine laid there and apparently some sort of an idea for a cure for vampirism laid there too. Y'know, Hall of Wonders and that temple district... so many possibilities.
I wonder what Astarion's main writer thinks about that ending scene. I don't believe he's the one who wrote that shit.
Literally all they have to do is give the man some shade to stand in instead of running and it's immediately better.
