People are always saying Astarion must be really kinky
And sure, I mean that comes with the whole vampire thing. He's not vanilla that's for sure. But on the other hand he's also oddly...Gentle? He cradles tavs head during bite night and checks on them the morning after.
He is very soft and loving in the first romance scene, if you don't invite him to bite you, it's basically just sweet kisses and gently being set down on the ground. The "roughest" thing that happens is getting pushed against a tree. He's playful. He doesn't do anything "kinky" or rough unless invited. When partnered, his kisses are very sweet. He always takes a moment to look into tavs eyes and smile after and tells them how amazing they are or how much he enjoys being with them.
He only gets rough by default if he's ascended. In which that is a whole power dynamic that tav is consenting to (hopefully, otherwise don't ascend him). I feel like with all the things he has gone through, he cherishes being soft and gentle with his love more than anything else.
TLDR: Astarion is a big softie by nature and I think that's cool. Especially with the stereotypes of how vampires act towards their lovers in most media.
Some notes about this that I think is interesting. In low approval he's almost completely still and doesn't blink. Not even once. He does NOT trust tav.
In high approval he literally slow blinks like a cat and sways back and forth a little like he's giddy to talk to tav. He shows complete trust and absolutely adores them. Either platonically or romantically.
Just some details that I think are really cool and show how much thought the devs put into these interactions. Even though most of the time we can't even see the faces he makes when talking to him.
Listen here there will be no “attempt” if you don’t think I will restart all the dialogues 10 times, replay the level 20 times, and the entire game 30 times to save this goddamn wolf asshole that ruined my life you could not be more wrong
