Astarion/Romance: Difference between revisions

:: 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 the latter will cause Astarion to permanently leave the party}}.

:: 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. Upon 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}}.

:: 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). During it he reveals his grand 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.}}.
