I feel like I need to say it. I'll try as much as my level of English with translator allows.
Neil did such a great job voicing the Ascended Astarion, like, it's gorgeous. Now some people don't understand the thing – it’s ok, but pushes-hate-mocking-judge – it’s not ok.
This a wonderfully deep, delicate work illustrating the power dynamics from a vampiric Dark Lord. Deeper than sexual fantasy, because Astarion himself is deeper. There's an incredible amount of care and so many feelings for a genre that is apparently not for everyone at all. "He has no feelings" - Neil showed dark-love feelings Ascended with genius power. And the fact that someone is so afraid of it (and that's ok) proves what is a brilliant. Dark Fantasy - people don't go there for health. They go there for something wild, complex and fresh.
That's why people liked the bride theory the book reveals these vampire things very well. (it's still theory, though, for 100% we need the name of this dude Van Rictens on a piece of paper and Astarion's words in the game, or better yet, Gale, he's a nerdy) it's like a fresh gust of wind.
Well decadence and all that has been criticized by moralists since the beginning of decadence. Things don't change. Just yeah, let's hope Larian's listening.
