I just hope Larian doesn't abandon their weirdo-kiddo, who looks at the Ascension differently from a variety of perspectives than others and likes edgy, dark thing.
Agreed - liking something in fiction doesn’t necessarily reflect on how people act in real life. That’s the whole point of RPs. We’re all different and ascended Astarion scratches an itch for me that few characters have managed since forever. (I think of Lestat, Dracula and Dorian when I see Astarion, his ascended form is a brilliant mix of all of these).
