Unsure if aimed at me, if so, I just wanted to say my ending comparisons don't really rely on pure morality all that much (AKA I don't really focus much on 7K deaths), but on what it means for the character psychologically. I love dwelling into what Ascension represents in terms of Astarion's insecurities, fears, and relationship with the world and what Tav's response to it means to him in the end in regards to confirming or challenging those. But I'm aware that this is very disputed on these threads, so it's just an agree to disagree situation.
No, I didn't mean you personally. I meant it more generally because too often in this discussion there is an attempt to reduce something to good or evil and classify it morally as such.. Yes, this question is certainly one of the most discussed and who has the sovereignty of opinion. For me, Larian has confirmed my view of AA with the changes to AA.
