Big astarion story bug
So I just killed cazador with astarion in my party. It was all a bit anti climactic. We just killed him and no one said anything. Then back at camp he acted like I killed him without him and was furious as he wanted to complete the ritual. Wtf just happened. Disappointed in that. Was looking forward to hear the lore about it and have to back some interesting choices.

I am playing as Astarion, and the game acted like he wasn't in my party in the first cut scene with Cazador, which was hilariously dumb. After the battle, it acted as normal.

The reason I think this happened is before patch 5, there was horrendous lag, meaning I had to wait ages for the cutscene to load, when it did, it teleported Astarion out of range, so the game thought he was not there. Maybe something like that happened with you?

I would reload it if I were you, though you can convince Astarion you were just looking out for him, but idk if you need high approval/romance for that (just seen it on YT).

If Astarion Is in the party but you run too much then Cazador will speak as there isn't Astarion at all.

He was well in range for me the whole fight. It was actually astarion that made the killing blow which felt perfect! I thought there would be a big decision on if he would become a vampire lord of just give it up. But nothing happened at all. He was just furious at camp! Bizarre!

The first attempt he captured astsrion and I got my ass kicked. 2nd attempt I didn't speak to cazador just had my sorcerer do an aoe on them. Maybe I need to reload and talk first

Did you click on the coffin after the fight or just leave?
If one of the spawn dies in the fight, he cannot ascend.
Triggering the fight without the cutscene shouldn't prevent the quest completing, but it's more interesting if you do it properly. Having Astarion on the stairs at that point will prevent Cazador from capturing him, but will make the first scene behave like he's not there.
If he is captured, you can free him with the help feature. If it's too hard to move a character there fast, switch to someone else during the cutscene and move them there already.
