The "I want to become a vampire like you" answer looks even dumber if you remember how in Act 1 Astarion explained to my Tav, how to become a vampire, that you have to drink your master's blood, how to become a Spawn. And why he, as a Spawn, can walk on the sun (he can't really, it's a maggot, dumb Tav). And now that Spawn Astarion is becoming an Ascended (that's actually new), how does TAV know that Ascended can even convert? And who does that end up being? A spawn? A regular vampire right away? Or something else.
