Astarion talks about his feelings and issues
upd: post-Patch 3, you need to visit Moonrise Towers AND kill Yurgir to get this scene. Afterwards, take two long rests.
Do not talk to Araj Oblodra in Moonrise Towers or else you will get a shortened version (you can still talk to her after you get this one)

This scene is simply outstanding. Just think: it's the first scene since meeting him where he genuinely lets all his guard down & takes the risk of being honest & vulnerable. All his carefully maintained, flirtatious, suave persona is gone. Just his pure emotions, shame, confusion, fear, insecurity. For YOUR sake. For the sake of being caring, true and simply honest with Tav, because that's how much he already fell for you, how much he values you and how those pure feelings pushed him to go past his trauma (which up to this point, kept him in defense mode of "as long as i can seduce and manipulate them into not turning their back on me, i'm safe") and just... open up. It's simply... Beautiful. That's all.

Shadowheart makes you work for it too. And Lae'zel, because she's cautious of love and plays the heartless bitch when she's really loyal and caring. In Lae'zel's case she can be convinced to remain with the player at the end. Interesting for me. Shadowheart and Lae'zel fought a bit but then made up. I was with both of them. It's like they both know they have to get on or the group falls apart. The implication of not putting each other in the middle and fighting over each other makes it more interesting. Those two can control their jealousy. Understand that loyalty and love is giving. Not taking and demanding or avoiding. I don't care for Karlach much because she's jealous and a goody two shoes that's naive. Her jealousy fits her personality, but that's the proble. Her personality doesn't make sense for someone that suffered through a blood war. You don't come out of that kind of thing as a goody two shoes desperate for validation. Wars like that change you. Harden you. Plus the accent sounds too modern. She's the only companion that feels out of place. Astarion is more fitting. He's got trust issues and is used to how things "were". Afraid of change and afraid of not being in control becuase of how his master manipulated him. His character is very fitting.

He sort of reminds me of a cat. At first he's not really open or trustworthy towards you but as time goes on he shows affection. some are kind of like a dog who falls faster like you said. With dogs they easily show love when you first meet them, and with cats it takes time but it's so rewarding when they show trust with you. Astarion likes cats and owlbears so I'm not surprised lol.

I feel somewhat similar, but i think I chose Hug anyways because of his face when you do it. It's like he gets a small dose of what simple small affection without sex, and with someone you care about and TRUST, feels like, and it surprises him, and also the mo-cap is so good and well animated, you see a glimmer of him looking disappointed when you let go, like he wanted to be held longer...it's very sweet, but i get where you're coming from, that is huge for him, i hate when people just objectify him!

@@DeadAugur True. I play a kind character for the most part and I have a very high approval with Astarion because I let him drink my blood every night, took him with me for the parts that matter (hunter, Arja), and otherwise left him in the camp throughout most of Act 1 and first half of Act 2 to avoid disapproval when being kind and helpful. This way I was able to romance him and get him to a high approval. From around mid-Act 2, his approval got very high, so now I always take him with me and so far I haven't had any disapproval from him.

There is not much else to talk about that, he did what he did because it was his instincts, and just how he said “i dont know how to be with someone” the point here is that you understand how hard it is for him to just simply exist in a relationship without cazador influence making him lure people and stuff, you have to accept him and forgive his actions because of trauma or you also have the right to not forgive him and he will understand either way

The a bit deeper dive there will come in the ending of his arch, he will evaluate again on the evolution of his feelings. Also many things who give more insights about his feelings lie in some bad things one can say to him (e.g. if one breaks up with him in Act 3 before going to Cazador).

So a month later, and a second playthrough with a cleric with a dodgy background later, and I kind of, sort of, got to this point with Astarion... but I'm a bit puzzled. I didn't get nearly as much dialogue, and none of the real description of how he felt at the beginning. Instead it came after the situation with the drow, and *that* was why he triggered the talk with me, and then from there it segued into the 'I care about you' options, and from there to the end. I feel like I missed something somewhere? Or rushed something? Or maybe didn't have my approval high enough? Anyway, le sigh. Wish I hadn't missed it. :(

When you tried to romance him, you would find that Astarion is extremely picky. You could've at least be very higher approval to actually be able to romance him. He literally need to lose his conscience in order to be able to 'play around' with other people, because he is the type who value intimacy and only set it aside for survival. Even with that in mind, he'd rather breakup with you if you don't get to his standart. If he just wanted to use you, he probably just scoff it off but he actually chose his heart over you. So you could see that his heart play a big role in making decision to choose you by his side. In no way that he's not going to fall in love with you along the way. Everytime you breakup with him, he broke. What amaze me in his character is even as Ascended Astarion, he wasn't into a multiple relationship. That was not Cazador-like behaviour, full vampire who's supposedly treated as 'king' who probably could enjoy having fun with hundreds of people. As mad as asc Astarion, he still rather be with you than anyone else. What even confusing is that full vampire doesn't like competitor, but in Dark Urge ending he's just like, "Claimed your throne darling." That goes to show how much you truly mattered to him. Edit. Which I think that was an ascended brain move, considering that Asc Astarion got mind controlled after. 😂

He actually appreciates having a friend as there’s that option to tell him “maybe you need a friend, not a lover” but it’s only available when you did sleep with him at the beginning, which makes sense. “unfortunately” you have to let yourself be seduced and sleep with him as that’s the way he starts catching feelings towards you.

Yeah, I fully intended to romance him, but on my first playthrough I accidentally completely missed the big checkpoints for getting his romance plotline by not long resting enough in Act 1. By doing that, I didn't get the cutscenes where I could get his approval high enough before the tiefling party, so he rejected me. I thought maybe there'd be an alternate way to start the romance in Act 2, but apparently not! I raised my approval pretty high with him after that point, but any cutscenes I got continued to have zero options that seemed obviously romantic and eventually I got just a strictly platonic version of this scene. Withers even had a chat with me in camp to weirdly ask why I wasn't romancing anyone, and I was like DUDE I AM TRYING. I guess you really HAVE to sleep with him at the party or nothing else triggers.

@@isxaxrealxgirl yes, with Astarion all the talking and long resting needs to be frequent in act 1. that’s why his romance is so special because without player’s active interest it doesn’t happen at all. and when it does, it starts with a completely different intent from his side compared to other companions. what I personally really appreciated in the storytelling is that Astarion uses sex the only way he knows how and then when he starts having real feelings he doesn’t want to do it till he’s ready.. which is pretty much at the very end of the game. beautifully done by Larian. I’m willing to pay them whatever the cost to make Astarion focused DLC or a full game with only him because I just don’t wanna let go of such amazing character that he is. side note: you can trigger the romance scene in the forrest even before finishing the Grove. when it happened for me I was utterly shocked. I already found out he was a vampire at that point and we met Gandrel. I almost choked as right after we killed him I clicked on Astarion expecting a reaction like ‘so that’s done’ but instead he floors me with ‘darling, I was just thinking about you..’ which led to the romance scene 😂 like way to pick the right moment to seduce me, man 😂

Oh man, the Withers talk. He's like "Why do you not have a partner?" and despite Gale and Shadowheart both thinking I'm marvellous, and Astarion's approval being very high I had to say "I guess no-one likes me enough"!! "And thus you are alone." says Withers. THANK YOU WITHERS, I NEEDED THAT.@@isxaxrealxgirl

How do you get this one? Wat triggers it? I’ve already Started exploring the temple of shar but my sister said when I get to moonrise everyone will be hostile. Not sure if I should continue or go to an earlier save. I already told Astarion I’d help him with Raphael and I told Raphael I’d kill the orthon. and it doesn’t make sense to me to backtrack after saying that. Feels like something you need to do asap

​​@@Lunakitty1234 You can get this scene after you killed Orthon for Raphael in order for him to read the scars on Astarion's back. You take a long rest then you'll get the confession. For the drow confession, all you need is to side with Astarion to not drink Araj's tainted blood, that's for a quicker love confession.

Does anyone know if the dialogue is any different if you where dating someone but left them for Astarion? Id love if their was an option that was something like ‘I left something real for you.. and your telling me this was a lie the whole time?” And then if you choice to leave Astarion you can try to get back together with your other partner.

I'm not sure the other characters would still want you back after you dumped them for Astarion once. I think Shadowheart has a dialogue at the tiefling victory party about not wanting someone else's sloppy seconds if you try to flirt with her after you've already arranged something with someone else, and that's only about one night. Even Halsin would think twice if you completely broke up with him and then later came back with your tail between your legs (if it weren't that Halsin doesn't require you to break up with the others to be with him)

I am only in act 1 and the way he pretended to not know how my char died after sucking him dry as well as offering sex as a "reward" for being a "good package" did give the impression it was just a fling... BUT! Outside of that he really behaves like he cares. We do mischief together, surprise an oger and a bugbear in a barn together, fight side by side AND when one goes down, the other screams in panic over their loss. I always let Astarion revive my char when hes down and vice versa and it just feels RIGHT. Gameplay wise, Astarion is 100% a cinnamon roll and I refuse to think he hasnt fallen for my sweet high elf dragonblood sorcerer boy yet! 😂

It _doesn't._ Not at ALL, not even remotely. Sounds like a you problem tbh.. Coz, hundreds of thousands of us Astarion girlies, AND the 'leg hook', say different.. (iykyk 😉) edit: Also - his romance scenes (in the ones that had another person there for the mo-cap) were literally all filmed with Astarions body actor, and a WOMAN. Sooo, there's that. 🤷🏻‍♀️ edit 2: One last point I just realized: Astarion's actor himself played the game, and he _chose_ to romance Astarion with a _*FEMALE*._ So with all due respect - that's your opinion proved utterly false by the man himself right there lol.
