* If the player chose to help Astarion become an Ascendant, they will have an option to become a vampire spawn. This might be a straightaway player character's request, but if the player does not use this line in the dialogue, Astarion himself will eventually try to seduce them into becoming a spawn. During the course of conversation, multiple dialogue options can lead to Astarion telling the player character he loves them (with allowance for his ''new'' understanding of the 'love' concept). | * If the player chose to help Astarion become an Ascendant, they will have an option to become a vampire spawn.

:* If the player eventually consents to becoming a spawn, they can then choose whether to sleep with Astarion again or not. However, neither choice there will impact the new-sprung Ascendant's intent to turn the player character, the only difference is whether another scene of sexual intercourse is shown. If Astarion's approval hasn't been maxed up yet, agreeing to sleep with him will raise it a bit. | :* If the player eventually consents to becoming a spawn, they can then choose whether to sleep with Astarion again or not.

:: Whatsoever, the cutscene proceeds to another background (depending on the location of the player’s camp) and into another dialogue with Astarion, where he will ask the player to kneel. At this point the player may roll a {{Ability check|Wisdom|18}} to unveil Astarion's true attitude towards the player character. Successful check will reveal that as Ascendant, he considers even his beloved one belonging to the lower order of creatures and shall ever treat them accordingly. Nevertheless, the player might either give in and kneel, or refuse to do it, or choose to kick Astarion in the crotch {{note|Doing | :: Whatsoever, the cutscene proceeds to another background (depending on the location of the player’s camp) and into another dialogue with Astarion, where he will ask the player to kneel.

:: Agreeing to kneel will trigger the process proper of turning the player character. Before making the final bite, Astarion will thank them for giving him ''everything''. He doesn't make it clear, though, whether he means everything ''he himself'' ever wanted to acquire, or everything the character ever had, including their own life. After awakening, the player character will have received the [[Vampire Bite]] ability which provides the [[Happy (Condition)|Happy]] condition {{note|Still, whenever player character obtains this condition, their infobox will have the formulation '' "Astarion's vampiric hunger has been sated…" '' in it}}. | :: Agreeing to kneel will trigger the process proper of turning the player character.

:: If the player refuses to kneel twice, Astarion will leave them and, in addition, end the romance. In his new status, he does not want to continue the relationship with someone he won't be able to exert total control on, which is reflecting the fact that he is following in Cazador's footsteps. | :: If the player refuses to kneel twice, Astarion will leave them and, in addition, end the romance.
