It's not that kind of moment, it's just rushed. It's a roleplaying game. The writing shouldn't decide for me what my character chooses to do in a moment with two very clear choices.
And when the dude is the only companion I recruited and there isn't even anything else to do, the narrator/DM shouldn't start telling me what my character is thinking. The narrator/DM should never decide for you what your own character is thinking.
First of all, sorry if I have caused you any emotional distress.
Secondly, it is a roleplaying game, but it's not an unlimited roleplaying game. It's a vastly different experience from real life roleplaying, and to be able to write a story and create a reasonably sized game, there have to be interjections by the narrator/the game itself.
Thirdly, sometimes I feel like it gets forgotten that millions of people play this game, with different tastes and opinions. We have no idea if out of those millions of players enough feel the need for an alternative ending to make it worth implementing it in the game. A lot of the Astarion discourse happens in bubbles.
