Astarion break up?
I think I might be romancing Astarion by accident... tbh it's hard to tell bc he's a jerk either way ^^ But he's giving me the "hello darling" and "glad to see you sauntering over" and all that. We had some fun at the party and then talked a bit about his scars but that was it. His approval is not that great so I didn't really think we were down the romance road, lol. When I talk to him, there's no option to break up, The main reason I'm concerned is bc convos with Gale seem to have stopped progressing and now I have no way to get Astarion off my back O.o Help ^^

He says darling to everyone.

His romance starts with him openly in capital letters offering you sex
He calls everyone "darling", like some women in parts of usa (I think 'xD) call everyone "hun"

Why wouldn't Gale talk to me, then...? I thought it's bc I'm locked with Astarion.

could be that you just need to move main story on for his stuff to progress - some major scenes with companions don't trigger until specific stuff happens outside of camp
where are you with gale and in the main story?

Oh, if he says the sauntering over bit, he's had his romance flag notched.

Gale has particular things he says if he's romancing you too, like its always a pleasure to talk to you (i think... its been a while). You shouldn't be locked out unless you flat out rejected Gale. You'll get an option. When I got the "let's be serious" scene with Astarion (Act 2), that's when I had to reject Gale.

If you're still in Act 1, you're okay... unless you told Gale you just wanted to be friends, etc.

You get that if you let him drink your blood, tell him no instead and he is much more professional.

I cleared the goblin camp and have Halsin in my camp already, discussing next steps. Popped over to Mountain Pass to visit the Creche, but haven't done much else in Act 2 yet.
At the party, if I talk to Astarion first and flirt with him Gale won't do his bit, he'll mention he wants to show sth but the Mystra scene won't trigger. I also don't have the 'whom will you seek?' line when I go to sleep, suggesting there aren't multiple options just Astarion. This all looks like I'm locked in a romance with him, yet there's no option to get out of it.

OK it's definitely broken, he's giving me the "I missed this face" and such lines, not just the general ones. Yet there's no option to break up with him. What do I do? :S

OP I'm sure glad to find someone else that agrees with me in regards to Astarion. He's too whinny for me and sounds more like a little Biotch. So I leave him in camp.

yeah he does do this. just so you guys know, if he wants to go to bed with you he will literally say "I want to have sex with you" like exact words almost. I just walked away at that point (to be clear, IRL I'm a bisexual male and while I hate both elves and vampires I think asterion is tied for my personal fav) and walking away from him doesn't give disapproval. I'd be very surprised if rejecting the offer of sex from anyone was met with an actual message of disapproval from the game.

ofc that isn't true to life which is why everyone has such a visceral reaction to having to reject someone, but apparently every one of your party members has an extremely healthy view of physical intimacy.

ESPECIALLY Lae'zael.

He's flirting here, that's all. I mean you character did have sex with him, right? Rest assured Astarion in Act 1 isn't as interested in you for romance as you think he is. You aren't considered (game-wise and/or companion-wise) in an actual serious romance with anyone until the end of Act 2 (Moonrise Towers). Some companions will flirt, some will have sex, some will proposition you even when you show zero interest (for me: Karlach, Laezel) but you aren't actually "locked" into a romance until the end of Act 2. Meaning you can't break up with anyone until your'e in a "serious" relationship. Any characters that you showed an interest in up until that point ( like having sex with them) will continue to show an interest in your character. If you don't want them to pursue you then don't flirt, or have sex with them.

If you romance him; the easiest way to break up with him is in Act 2.
1. You will get a quest from a "Mutual" Friend to kill a certain "Nemisis" in the Mausoleum near the House of Healing. Help the Nemesis instead and don't kill him.

2. Have him drink a blood of a Drow in Moonrise Tower.

He has to be in the Party for both of these to happen to break up with him efficiently.
