Yeah, that's a better title. It's like - the very essence is clear to me, but how best to express and formalize... Phew, it's more complicated and more serious than just an emotional post with my feelings and impressions. To be honest, I used to visit forums only as a reader - for information, the first time the character impressed me so much that I wanted to talk about him
If Astarion in general, I would like to somehow hint that it would be good to work more with not ascended Astarion (although, there is already a thread for fixing the ending, and there are a lot of good arguments and quite a few posts), and the evil side of Astarion is the main thing to keep in its original beauty and add or change something, then, without departing from the original idea.
Me, too! And my English is not the best. So whether an "evil Astarion" or a general Thread, I can't say, what could be better. Well, I am not so sure if I understand it well, I just want to add:
If there is a general thread: I think it might be better to separate the two things: subsequent changes by Larian vs. Wishes of the players. Yes, there is already a thread about „fixing“ Astarion's good ending and also an Astarion Improvement Thread. It makes a difference if something in the game is changed afterwards, scenes or facial expressions that were good/perfect before. Or whether players generally want different content/endings for Astarion. A subsequent change is often very problematic because everyone wants something different for his Astarion, and players who already have been through once or already saw videos/read about and loved it, will be upset about drastic changes. Subsequently changing a scene for the worse (without anyone asking for it) is what causes frustration, in the sense of "patching it to death". I am in general not a huge fan of patches and changes. New, more content is nice (and they already did great work, e.g. the new kiss animations and I am sure everyone likes it), but changing scenes is very risky, it can be better, it can be worse. So, what I ask for is to NOT change Astarion's already good cutscenes, facial expressions and content to make them worse. I know, my mentioned "gur"-scene, they surely (!) tried to make the scene better, but they (whoever did this) made it worse than better, in my eyes. So, it's really hard to explain all this in a thread and find a way for it.
