A reminder that this thread is principally about playing Astarion as an avatar. It’s fine to make reference to his behaviour as a companion where it helps shed light or illustrate points you want to make about playing Astarion as your own character but let’s tread carefully in this thread and try to keep as on topic as possible.
Ahem! (What I said about discussing Astarion as a companion only insofar as it can be tied back to playing him as an avatar also applies to discussing the sex lives of vampires.)
