How high does Astarion's approval need to be?

And if you already have fair approval you should be safe to get that I think. "Fair" is good enough to start the romance at the tiefling party later on, if you make the right choices at the party itself. You can earn even more approval in Act I by killing a certain hunter and giving him a certain book.

He will become a megalomaniac, demand approval, and overall become a little unbearable. This is a small price to pay for such abilities, so if players don't care about the lives of 7,000 vampires, then it's definitely worth letting Astarion become a Vampire Ascendant.

Should you ask Astarion about his scars?

Apparently, you should always ask Astarion about his scar for the scar-reading scene to appear. I replayed the scene, asked him, and got scar-reading the very next long rest. So now I get to do the creche and the Underdark all over again.
