Is Astarion worth backtracking 10 hours?

[ArabicPrincess]

Don't ask.

Is he really that great? I may have to start over again...

You do get a quest for him in Act 3 and he is good at lockpicking.

[Krystal]

unless your running a spellcaster who can cast knock, he's VITAL in picking locks due to all the MASSIVE bonus's he gets when disabling traps and picking locks.

[steelcoresoviet]

he fills up a party slot, and unlocks a neat reward in a sidequest.

I staked him, got Shadowheart a couple items to buff her lockpicking, and never looked back. If you're capital E Evil you probably want him, but you can totally skip him.

[Arngrim]

I´d say all of the companion quests are worth doing at least once.

[sentries go BRR]

i recommend picking up all companions for your first playthrough, they each hold their own in their story but if it's too far for you to consider worth backtracking for then dont worry about it, if you do decide to do a 2nd playthrough I recommend seeing him through though

[EricHVela]

10 hours rewind worthy? Dunno. I wouldn't. I'd just grab him on the next run through the game. Then again, I'd say the same for all the companions.

[Morgian]

I impaled him on the night he snuck up to me. Good riddance, bloodsucker.

I had, like everyone else, Shadowheart to pick up lock duty. So he wasn't missed at all.

I keep him as an amusement pet in my camp.

[Lamp]

He's pretty great. Like his lategame companion story is one of the fleshed out ones.

[Syrin]

If you turn him into a gloom stalker archer, and keep his insanely good lockpicking and trap disabling skills, he's invaluable.

[Megaira]

I absolutely love Astarion he cracks me up and is easily one of my favorite characters, but if you missed him back 10 hours ago I'd say just keep going and catch him in the next game.

I dislike Shadowheart, and she left my party permanently. Good riddance. Casters suck anyways.

No. Your only mistake was not killing him the first time. Sorry excuse for a vampire.

[Morgian]

Doesn't have to be Shadowheart...you can respec anyone to do lock duty.

[Action Man]

I missed Lae'zel on my first run. I reset after almost wrapping up Act 2 to go back. I found a lot more stuff I hadn't done, so overall I was fine with it.
