I'm not blowing steam at all, I'm as cool as a cucumber.
So far, I haven't seen any convincing facts presented. It's all -"I think, my feelings, if you metagame then..."-

Please, I'm more than happy to be convinced otherwise, I'm actually hoping for it, to be honest. But so far it's not happening.

But, thank you for your dismissive and patronizing words.

Ok, that wasn't meant patronizing, if you took it that way, I'm sorry. I just really thought, you want to get that out of your system.
But what I see, is you doing the same of what you are accusing the other poster here: you think, he is gay, because you saw 4 out of 1000 victims - victims, not lovers, victims! Do you think, he would send people, he really care for, to his master? You think, he is gay, because you see 3 males, so yeah, this is pretty much you, being subjective here. Like we all are.
I don't really care about Astarion or his orientation, but if you agree with JandK, then make a male character to romance him. Everyone has the right to play the game as they like. And since we don't get much info about how he searches his victims, we all can just assume here. He does say, that he didn't enjoy the conquests and the sex though - if I can trigger that conversation again this playthrough or anotehr one, I'm more than happy to share a screenshot.

Why do I have to make a male character just to romance him so it doesn't feel out place. Romance should have been made to feel equally satisfying for both males and females.

It is hard not to see him as preferring males because of everything in his story prior to PC. And you and I can assume whatever we want, but this is what the game actually shows us. Even if it just 3 of them, it doesn't change the fact that there is not a single woman in there. None out no matter how many. You can tell that I'm basing my opinion on just 3 out 1000, yes I am, because that is what you get in the game. So I based his prior history not on my wishes or assumptions, but on what is actually in the game.

What comes after meeting PC has no bearing here, because my complaint is about his PAST and not his PRESENT romance with PC.
