I played a drow so of course I went to see what is up with two drow working at a surface brothel. And after Araj everyone who mentions Astarion is on very thin ice with this character, so I asked them some questions and the rest is history lol.

With Astarion it starts fine, he'll either say no or he'll want to try and see what happens, depending on where he is in his quest. The problem with him is that at the end of the thing narrator tells you he was dissociating and you apparently didn't notice, and it just feels bad. Halsin's whole "poly" thing is much more uncomfortable with him, he asks if it's because the two of you "haven't in a while" and the game pretends it's fine to have an open relationship when your partner has such concerns. And the thing is, I have a feeling the writers don't even realize what they did.
