If the player does not long-rest and instead goes straight to the end-game fight, the relationship continues between Astarion and a mortal player. In that case, the final partnered cutscene with Astarion the Ascendant will include the option to ask him make the character his spawn {{verify}}.


Regardless of the Rite conclusion, on the next morning the player character might have a unique dialogue with Astarion (he will prompt it himself in case he turned them into a spawn). As an Ascendant, during it he reveals his truly napoleonic plans of conquering as much influence and power as he can (with the spawn character by his side or without them). He will also express his newfound feeling of all-permissiveness, especially if the player rejected his offer to become a spawn {{note|'' "I can take anything I want. I should have made you a spawn just to teach you that." '' - post break-up dialogue with Astarion the Ascendant at the camp.}}.
Regardless of the Rite conclusion, on the next morning the player character will have a unique dialogue with Astarion.  


Otherwise (if remained a spawn), Astarion will discuss thoughtfully what has happened in the dungeons in retrospective, and sincerely thank the player again for leading him away from the edge of irrevocable losing his true self.
* Vampire Ascendant with a partnered player (became a vampire spawn):  he will discuss his future plans and how the player was turned, while thanking the player.
 
* Vampire Ascendant with an ex-partnered player (did not become a vampire spawn): he will not talk to the player until after two long rests and then have a converation about the break-up.
At this point the player might again choose the option to break up with him deliberately. Interestingly, Astarion the Ascendant will be utterly outraged about the break-up if he has already turned the player character into a spawn, but still consent to it (probably being sure he might be able to order them to return should he have such a whim).
* Vampire Spawn with a partnered player: he will discuss his thoughts on what happened in the dungeon while thanking the player.
 
If the player refused to become a vampire spawn and still kept high enough approval from Astarion, then after several long rests Astarion will prompt another dialogue. Obviously having cooled down a little, he will tell the player that he understands and takes in their decision, and also admit he underestimated the strength of their spirit. Still, Astarion will confess that he wanted to turn the player character into a spawn only to acquire a plaything and have some fun, but eventually to discard them. Nonetheless, he will promise to stay by the player's side until the party will have dealed with the [[Netherbrain]].
