Astarion/Romance: Difference between revisions

Line 109:

If the player character chooses to defeat the [[Netherbrain]] and remained in a romantic relationship with Astarion, a scene at the [[Elfsong Tavern]] (its private room, not available otherwise) triggers where Astarion discusses their future together. It comes instantly after the short victory-stating overview of the saved city.

* '''If Astarion has ascended''', he relishes his power and asks the player character what they would like to do. The player can then express one of the following: that they want to travel around the world, put their enemies to the sword, rule Baldur's Gate, express concern about other companions' power or break up.

** If the player did not take a long rest since the ritual had been concluded, they ~~will~~ also have an option to consent to become a vampire spawn. In that case, a corresponding romance scene ~~comes~~, as described [[Astarion/Romance#Romance_conclusion|above]].

** If the player character did not take a long rest since the ritual had been concluded, they also have an option to consent to become a vampire spawn. In that case, a corresponding romance scene is triggered, as described [[Astarion/Romance#Romance_conclusion|above]].

** A player character who has been already turned into a spawn is not allowed to break up with Astarion, presumably through compulsion after the tadpole's power has subsided{{ref|If the break-up option is picked by a spawn player character, they still are in a relationship with Astarion by the Epilogue. Devnotes for Astarion's reply to this option say ''"Genuine laugh - the player can't get away from him. Not even if they want to."''}}.

** If the player character has chosen to transform into a Mind Flayer, Astarion laments their new form, breaking relations off but seeking a tactical alliance, which the player character can accept or refuse. In this case, a break-up option is simply not available.
