How old was Astarion before he was turned?

Astarion was around 39 years old when Cazador turned him, which in D&D lore makes him an "elven child" (elves mature around 100), but he appeared as a human in his late 30s and held a respectable job as a magistrate, causing confusion about his exact stage of life. He was turned about 200 years before the game's events, making him roughly 239 during the game, with his gravestone indicating he was born in 1229 DR and turned in 1268 DR.

How old would Astarion be in human years?

Astarion is a High Elf from Baldur's Gate 3 who appears to be in his late 30s in human years, but he is actually around 263 years old, having been turned into a vampire spawn at age 39 and living as an undead for over 200 years. While elves mature like humans, they live much longer, and Astarion's long undeath stopped his physical aging at that "young adult" elven stage, making him look like a human in his late 30s.

Can Astarion be cured of vampirism?

You can't fully "cure" Astarion's vampirism in a standard playthrough, as he's a powerful undead, but you can significantly alter his fate by convincing him not to ascend to become a Vampire Lord, choosing instead to free his spawn and find alternative, less monstrous paths, with potential narrative endings involving God Gale (if Gale becomes a god) or other powerful magic like a Wish spell offering hope for a true cure in epilogues or mods, though "Wish" can be tricky.

Is Edward still mentally 17?

Yes, in the Twilight universe, Edward Cullen's mental and emotional development is essentially frozen at the age he was turned into a vampire, which was 17 years old, meaning he retains the mentality of a teenager from the 1910s, though he's incredibly intelligent and has learned much over the decades. While he gains vast knowledge and maturity from his long life, he still experiences emotions and reactions akin to a high schooler, especially concerning love and his relationship with Bella, making him seem perpetually stuck at that age.

Can Astarion turn good?

Yes, you can make Astarion "good" in Baldur's Gate 3, but it requires specific choices to guide him away from his vampiric, power-hungry path, primarily by convincing him not to ascend during Cazador's ritual, which helps him embrace freedom and resist corruption, leading to a more selfless, appreciative companion. You'll need to consistently support his journey to independence, help him confront his trauma rather than indulge his darker urges, and make choices that allow him to grow beyond his abusive past, essentially helping him choose a path of redemption rather than monstrous power.

Is there a way for Astarion to walk in the sun?

Astarion can walk in the sun in Baldur's Gate 3 only if he undergoes the Rite of Ascension, becoming a Vampire Ascendant, which grants him sun immunity, or if the player helps him find a magical solution (like Jander Sunstar's relic) in the post-game, though this is less definitive and more player-driven. Normally, as a spawn, the sun burns him; the Illithid tadpole's presence temporarily masked his weakness, but once removed, he's vulnerable again unless he Ascends or a unique cure is found.

Can Astarion be polyamorous?

"Poly" in this game basically means "some companions + Halsin". There isn't polyamory as such, some of them (like Astarion) are just fine with you having a hinge with Halsin. Or at least they won't break up with you over it. To my knowledge, there is no way to romance two main companions at the same time, without mods.
