Not one single word from the Ascended Astarion (not at the end with Karlach, not at the end with the tentacle) has ever hurt me. It's only the aggressive-spawn-fans with their over-the-top morals that have done that. It's like they want to fix not only Astarion, but me as well.
I saw so many of these aggressive and unforgiving posts on YT when watching ascended Astarion vids. It's so deranged... Just because you like to roleplay your game a certain way the morality brigade has to step in and lecture you that you play your game wrong and that you're a horrible person, lol. I could argue that pursuing Astarion in the first place shows moral ambiguity. He's not Prince Charming and never will be.
Then, I'm very sorry for taking your post the wrong way. I guess I made an ass out myself by jumping the gun.
I am truly sorry.
Apology accepted and appreciated.
