Well maybe im Wrong but for Me Astarion should Never Had a Good ending.. he is a Thief and a Vampire.. theres no GOOD in him.. i all my games when i was playing a good dude by the time i get to finish his quest when i refuse to help him becouse i will not create another moster im a hero.. he just made me kill him.. i Beleave that He never was supposed to be played as a Good Guy like a Said.. he is a Vampire and a Thief.. dude in Any tabletop he at least would have been a Neutral evil..meaning he was never supposed to be GOOD. But ho knows maybe im Wrong and yu guys are corret.. i just always felt that he is a Companion Perfect for a Durge game or a Evil one becouse in all my evil games he basicly become my right arm man and minthara my Demonic Godess. RS and Fun Fact He was like a Devil in my shoulder the entire game like in old Cartoons.. haha
Why did you even bother giving your 2 cents on a character that you clearly never bothered to truly know? What you "beleave" is irrelevant because Larian put a redemption arc for him into the game for a reason. Those of us who actually helped him become a better person shouldn't have to suffer with a terrible ending for him just because YOU chose to ignore him in your good playthroughs.

So I reloaded to talk to my companions during the High Hall-scene. It was only more depressing. You're like "This can be our last moment alive, let's make this kiss count!" followed by the most chaste unromantic peck on the cheek possible...
Nothing. After the ending of the Cazador quest you really get nothing if you go the redeeming route.
I reloaded and turned myself into a squidgirl for the Emperor and even then Gale still taunted Astarion in his completely tone deaf out of character and narrative way, but after that I actually got a conversation with substance, emotion and content, where Astarion half breaks up with you for being a squid but in a very beautiful way, talking about your time and love together, bringing that important game ending closure...
I watched the mindflayer Tav ending on YouTube and was so shocked at how romantic that final scene was compared to his normal romance ending, even though he breaks up with you if you turn into a mindlflayer. Why did all of the emotion and love get put into THAT scene where you don't even end up together anymore?? Such a strange choice.
