I understand wanting improvements that everyone can enjoy. But.... some of the Ascended Astarion fans seem borderline disconnected from reality. There are nicer, less deranged/psychotic ways to let Larian know you would like to have your cake (Astarion Ascends), and eat it too (but he isn't mean to you), without implying that the fine folks at Larian skinned every puppy on earth, caused 911, and invented super cancer.
