The Larians invented the recipe for the perfect character: an intelligent villain with a complex character + sunshine and preciousness in one person.
They sure did.
This talk of his funny manipulative tactics made me remember a hilarious Astarion with Gale and Durge Tav sketch that I just need to share. xD Slightly off-topic so I'll leave it in the spoiler.

I said it too. And then actually did it after becoming his spawn. If my Tav was his first, then he needed to be her first too.

With my Tav I imagine a lot of possessive interactions behind the scenes. ^^

I created a regular Tav, went through the entire first chapter - there is no him anywhere. Then I didn't replay it, I wanted to go further in the story. And Dark Urge has special dialogs with Astarion, replicas... That video with replicas, which you discounted earlier, with such a voice, m-m-m... (I want to put the replicas on the alarm clock to wake up with pleasure ) And missed everything. In the second pass, of course, but it will be more interesting. But that's how careless players are sometimes
You mean the assistance from Astarion vid? They're amazing! I wish they fixed them.
I also heard of people starting to play as the default Durge, not realising that the chara is customisable.

Funny you should mention that because my Tav was running around with a cat familiar for a while. Every self-respecting wizard needs their cat (or cat-like pet). Plenty of space for it in the palace. Since he mentions being able to hear animals and having the ability to make them obey, I think he might also learn how to properly communicate with them (as a new power) and use them as spies, like Jaheira does. There are actually many cats in the city, he could enthrall them and have a kitty spy network, haha.
