Astarion likes | '''Astarion''' approves decisive, inventive and cunning moves. | ||
He '''likes''' demonstrating of power and autonomy, and appreciates snarkiness and mocking, unless he becomes the target himself. Astarion values gaining access to areas, items and/or necessary information by outwitting others. He also approves player's choices that support independence (particularly his own) or lead to obtaining power, even hypothetical. Finally, Astarion is not above cruelty (unnecessary, too), naughtiness and sick jokes. The player, however, does not have to be utterlly evil to gain his approval. | |||
Astarion dislikes displays of weakness | Astarion '''dislikes''' displays of weakness, as well as any acts of kindness or charity that offer no reward. He also disapproves when the player tries to rein him in or restrict him in any possible way. He despises moralizing over evil moves (including his own) and setting hopes to the help of any high-order beings. Finally, he disapproves wasting a slightest chance to gain even more power or refusing to do it deliberately. | ||
