i had a green/brown armour + blue cape and i dyed it all red and black, it looks so cool. gonna make an emo party

man, whoever wrote him deserves an award. the fact his va is amazing too and clearly loves him as well is also a plus.

more powerful or to let him learn how to love and be vulnerable while still keeping his love of mischief. i like that he openly talks about being sex repulsed, scared of intimacy, not knowing how to decide for himself, feeling confused without orders to obey, without being used.

he always take responsibility. everything he did was bc he was under his master's control, he could easily just blame him but he doesnt. he also knows he despises weak people and abusing of them bc they remind him of himself. and you can either choose to make him continue the abuse by making him +

most media would've just gone oh hes a victim and make you want to save him. but hes not just a victim and he literally has sex with you to manipulate you only to later confess why he did it out of guilt since he starts caring about you. you can decide what to do about it but either way +

they really depicted his trauma well. hes such a complex character im so glad i started playing this game

bless the enemy who cast hideous laughter on him lol (i just know his va was having a blast)

the scene where he murders cazador is so good the first time i saw it i put a hand on my opened mouth in shock. that's some insane anger there (i understand i do)

cazador is a fascinating character and from what ive read ascended astarion is basically cazador 2.0. ive seen some ppl go "you have to be sick in the head to do the ascended astarion route, it's too much" and i didnt want to do it but now im curious lol. maybe on my 3rd run

now he calls me darling every time i talk to him help

okay so i restarted and im so glad bc the scenes i skipped where very good. and you can literally have sex with astarion what?? i was so shocked. i mean not complaining but didn't expect it lol

ive just found out that if you agree to their proposal before you complete astarion's story he has a ptsd attack from all the sexual abuse he went through omg thank god i didnt do it yet 😭

yes there's some stuff from what ive seen to incrase the "approval" the character has of you but certain characters require you to do something specific to "unlock" the romance options and i skipped it accidentally bc i left an area (thought i could come back lol) so it's as if it never happened 😭

i could just finish this run first and then start again later but i know the thought will never leave my mind...

i got some earlier saves maybe i could start from there ughhh

actually i think if i hadn't skipped sm early game i would be able to romance him now. grrr damn idiot why did you speed run

this is becoming a full time job man. im too obsessed with this guy and i want to get the options to romance him but you have to be so careful all the time about what you pick omg

im considering starting all over again already bc i skipped a lot of things from the first two acts :/
