I want to strangle Astarion through most of act 1 ( and actually did a few times in early access, since there weren't really consequences for later story). But generally yeah, the Gur handle it pretty well overall.
And I love the killing of the Gur. I really like the scene where Astarion kills Gandrel with a dagger in the eye. But really, I don't want it in my walkthrough because Astarion is too tense and nervous in that scene, since Tav doesn't know he's a vampire yet. I like to say, “What do you say, Astarion?” better when he feels some support from me. You can do whatever you want in your game, but I will respectfully remind you that the topic of this thread is: “Romance with Astarion”, meaning it is for discussions by players who love this character.
And I will respectfully remind you, that nowhere did I say, I don't like Astarion, just that he is an insufferable brat in act 1 , which even a lot of hardcore Astarion fans agree upon. I btw did his romance - as resisting Durge with spawn Astarion and that was a very fitting romance scenario. I started that romance, because I read, that there is a lot more content to his romance with resisting Durge and tbh,yes, it was really great, there were some really deep dialogue options. He is btw much nicer in act 1 if you are Durge and struggling, because he recognises the similarities between you two.
And in the Gandrel encounter I tease Astarion ( It's not, like a spawn is a full vampire), which gives a fun dialogue option.
