That’s the reason, I assume.. But that romance scene is great, anyways, I love it. And I love our dark fantasies!

This part could have been indeed fleshed out a little better. Oh, that you mention it, I would really have liked to see tears on my Tavs face, just once, how cute it would have looked on him. I love to see Tavs reactions and facial expressions.

It’s a video I edited while using mods, it’s on the channel, but you only can see it with an account due to age restriction. I am not sure, if you got my private message. If there is a possibility to send the video elsewhere, I would gladly like to do it.

100 % agree! I felt the same. Him becoming a good person is extremely rushed. The ritual scene, where he is crying so damn heart-breaking was so unbearable sad. I cried and felt for his pain. As if he has lost something or someone, mourning about, that it will never come back. And it never came back. It felt so empty. As if he has lost his (vampiric) self and turned into someone else.

A poll (125.556 votes) on youtube says 80 % of the players choose Astarion’s good route and 20 % of the players choose his evil route. And I am sure of this 20 % also some primarily choose the ascended route to avoid the „dock scene“. If Astarion gets a cure.. and/or the good route becomes better… the 80 % will increase.
