The next thing I want to talk about is the non-ascended route of Astarion (I don't know what to call this line, I just refer to it as non-ascended Astarion)
As far as I know, many players choose not to have Astarion ascend not out of BDSM preferences but out of compassion for him never see the sun again. So many people love non-ascended Astarion, he is gentle, happy, capable of love, and the spiritual trauma is slowly being healed by Tav (Who wouldn't love him? He's so adorable!!!) So players don't love the non-ascended Astarion any less than the ascended Astarion! However, recent updates have made me feel that Larian doesn't value him as much, although the game as a whole is biased towards the values of kindness, but non-ascended Astarion has really too few things, His dialogue and kissing animations, as well as the performance after the final battle (I really feel sorry that he was hurt by the sun, as his lover, I really want to rush over and cloak him, or give him a hug) So I'd like to say: Larian, please add more content for non-ascended Astarion in future patches!!!
