Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Please let us keep our stories with Ascended Astarion

The majority of non-AA exclusive fandom spaces are dominated by spawn fans (see the polls). Who are very vitriolic against the ascended path, and believe we are "delusional" and AA is a soulless monster. That is the majority pleased by patch 6 faces. As identified by actual data. People who have outwardly stated it's Larian "teaching us a lesson", and we're just "stupid, delusional, abuse apologists, who are illiterate" (actual quotes, and the mildest I've seen). Are there AA fans who think that too? Sure. This is not me saying you or anyone with ab*se RP is a "fake fan". It's an acknowledgement that the "majority" you're referencing are *self identified spawn fans*. And no, I don't think Larian should cater the AA path to spawn fans who hate the path. Even if it pleases a handful of AA fans who share the same ideas as them.

Again. The audience that liked it in the mass numbers you suggest did not play the route.
