Companions' reactions to Astarion attacking the MC during the first meeting!
He threatens the others to stay back, and they actually react? I love this! delight
I don't know if this is new or if I just completely missed this before confused

Although I also like playing a redeemed DU with Ascended Astarion the most, especially as a chaotic character who denies the gods, who is loyal to only one single person and doesn't want any “third superfluous” with their plans in his life, be it gods or humans. But to go for “evil” to the end is also interesting, and the variation of walkthroughs and replayability now also suffers from the inability to do so. I liked the dowry line a lot too... And Amelyssan's prophecy illustrates just the fitting ending you cited... It's odd that existing storylines have been completely forgotten and ignored in this new ending.
Totally agree with you, it is so hurtful what they've done to Chosen DU endings for those romancing him. I feel it's completely disregarding those moments, their love story, and what the player may have wanted. Even the 'generic' evil endings allow you to stay together with your loved one. But not Dark Urge... I'm gutted.
