That's great, because I was worried he might have something against female drow. The only time I remember him mention the race was when I was looking through alternative options when talking about saving my drow buddy Nere. There were definitely not enough tags.

I find the options "your body" or "being a vampire" strange. The other two options are negative and aggressive. (...) If you have a relationship with Ascended Astarion, then you do not have a neutral reaction to his behavior. It's as if you're a disgruntled kind character again, or a stupid evil character who doesn't care about Astarion.
Exactly! I mentioned that in the OP. Honestly, it feels like the game is judging me by assuming I ascended him only for his powers and to have reward sex. The only alternative is telling him you're basicly disappointed in him. It took me a lot of time reloading to check the dialogues and staring at the screen not knowing what to do because I didn't want to pick any of the options. Eventually, I settled for 'I hoped you learned to love me' to make the exchange have a tiny semblance of romanticism.

I literally can't give up the graveyard scene. it's very strange.
That's a very good point! You can roleplay your character to be terrified of ascended Astarion's attitude and be disgusted with him but can't for example roleplay losing interest in spawn Astarion because suddenly he's too soft and human for their liking and they wanted an edgy, seductive vampire, being a pragmatist who only helped him so Cazador's lackeys never stalk your group again, or persuaded him out of ascension because they didn't want to have a potential powerful enemy if things turned sour, or an obsessive vampire lord lover harassing them Imhotep from "The Mummy" style breaking into their room at night trying to turn them into his spawn, etc.

I am not a flowers and chocolates type of woman.). Astarion says he wants it all. Either way, the story goes, make it worthy of him, because there are a lot of us out there that were drawn to him to begin with.
Wholeheartedly agree! I would like to see more content and improvements for both paths.
