Am I the only one who drives a stake through Astarion every playthrough

[Дед Дилдай]

I simply can't stand that flamboyant twink, even with those clown mods for him. He is simply unpleasant to be around not to mention keep him in the party.

[wtiger27]

I kill him on the beach when he is first encountered. If my char can not be a vampire, than none of my companions are going to be in my camp.

Based bloodlines connoisseur

I stake him too.
For no other reason, that the character Astarion is too dumb to remain unliving.
Wonderfully voiced, don’t get me wrong, but in a party with:

1) a child soldier of a xenophobic race, still ready to work together for common goals
2) a brainwashed cultist of the goddess of secrets, ready to spill the beans and work for common goals
3) a warlock who is ready to say no to his patron, to uphold his vision of heroism and work for common goals
4) a veteran of the blood wars, who is about to die, but still prefer to work for common goals and collective freedom
5) and Gale, who at least can take constructive criticism to heart and learn from his past mistakes…

We’ve also Astarion, who is ready to drink from and kill the very same people who are responsible for his survival and freedom for the first time in 200 years.
Astarion who, while being less bright than Scratch, demands to steer the party’s course to suit his idiotic tantrums. The same Astarion who is ready to sell the party’s souls to the most Disney villain ever appeared in non-Disney media, just for some information about a scar on his back.
Astarion, do you understand that the same compassion you so vocally disparage, is the ONLY reason why you still breath, among other things?
AND WHO, once he is caught in the act, has also the gall to say...

“It’s not what it looks like.”

Sorry Astarion, you can fail an intelligence check only if you have any.
I suppose at least we know for certain Cazador likes them pretty and pretty stupid.

What's funny about that scene is 2 things you never find out if you play Tav:

1: Astarion is checking if Cazador's orders still apply. "Thou shalt not drink the blood of thinking creatures".

2: He geniuenly just fails a Stealth check against you. If you play him you can succeed and nobody will realize you're the one who bit them, except for Gale.

My inner spore druid would like to remind Cazador, that even squirrels and rats think.
How do you call on the tabletop, when something is so dumb it is opening a hole in your reality?

Regardless, Astarion, and his fake Saturday morning cartoon villain moustache, is just so dumb to play with, I’ve zero incentives to play as.

Where's the homophobia?

i hate him enough to always play the thief for the group

he's the biggest complainer and whiner of the group, and it's unavoidable once he's in

now i know to just kill him on the beach - "it's the only way to be sure (-Ripley)"

[Maj. Grumpy]

He;s definitely one of my favorites. I mean Larian did a great job with the characters backstory and personalities and Astarian's is unique as the rest.

If you romance him, you can eventually get him to turn you. But you only become a Spawn, not a full vampire like him.

Was really disappointed with that.

From what I heard, the process is actually turning you into a vampire bride, not a spawn, which means he doesn't really have control over you like he would with a spawn.

[♂Warrior of Gachi♂]

He would have been the worst companion in the game, if Wyll wasn't so boring. At least it makes sense to kill Astarion immediately after he puts a knife to your neck unprovoked.

[GriffinPilgrim]

I very rarely kill companions in games. I find it wasteful. But to each their own.

You’re missing out on a tasty boost to necrotic damage in Act 3, my dude

This is correct, you become a True Vampire. He doesn't have control over you and claims he wouldn't want to anyway.
