Is it bad to let Astarion ascend?

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 let Astarion become vampire ascendant?

I came to the conclusion it's morally the least wrong choice. 7000 people will die, but if you let 7000 vampires out in baldurs gate it will be way worse. At least one of his siblings ate a kid so they might not be the most morally responsible people to guide a buuuunch of spawn.

Does ascending Astarion make him evil?

If Astarion ascends, he loses all that character development and goes back to how he was when players first met him after the Nautiloid crash, but with the added evilness, hunger for power, and controlling demeanor.

Astarion's best ending involves completing his personal quest and gaining a newfound resolve, but it also means he can no longer stand in sunlight.

Can you cure Astarion of his vampirism?

As for the cure, as of right now the only possibility to escape the misery of being a vampire in BG3 is ascension. I do not know why there is no other option even mentioned anywhere, wish spell/true resurrection. I think that Larian either didn't think it through or just didn't bother with it.

How do I not lose Astarion?

For real though, if you want to stop the ritual but keep Astarion in your party:
  1. Talk to the spawn in the cages before you enter the main hall.
  2. After defeating Cazador, tell Astarion either that he shouldn't do the ritual because it will kill all the spawn in the cages or tell him that the ritual will consume him.

Can you refuse to sleep with Astarion and still romance him?

You don't need to sleep with him at the party! If you get his approval high enough, he'll proposition you on his own at some point during act 1 when you talk to him. So your friend just needs to keep getting his approval up and it should trigger eventually, though it should probably be done before moving on to act 2.

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.
