Once again, this is a thread for ALL things related to Astarion romance, not one dedicated to AA. Do you see Ascended Astarion in the title or me saying that in the OP? Why do you keep saying that?


Another thing I've noticed is how they've treated Spawn Astarion in this patch. As already mentioned, they gave SA only 1 new kiss with a bad angle, they didn't give him any new lines, no unique kiss past Cazador encounter.

And now they also did this (I used the SA epilogue video I've linked earlier for the screen):

He is smiling exactly the same way as during the 3rd long rest (watching the stars) when he's feeding Tav sweet little lies. They are now visibly showing that Astarion is insincere in the ending, so we can assume all of his heartfelt, cute lines about being saved, being equals and how he's happy with Tav were BS.

It looks like they want to make everyone feel bad about romancing Astarion.
