I've gone ascended super evil urge with him, and then went super nice redemption urge with him and honestly, both feel like the best matches for both sides of his story. You either embrace your darkness together, or fight it until the end.
A lot of people complained about his ascended ending and saying it was the "bad" ending, but I didn't think it was necessarily a bad ending at all. He received the power he's always desired, power that will keep him free and keep him safe. He does become more possessive and arrogant, and the narrator hints that he may look down on you now if you become his spawn, but you're both going into it knowing that. At that point in the relationship In his mind you belong to him, he wants to love you for eternity, even if that means watching the world burn in the process. He spends the rest of the game flooding you with genuine compliments. It's still love, but a darker love. He'll never treat you the way Cazador treated him. I did it as an evil dark urge and it fit perfectly.
Really wish they would've made the hug scene with him a few seconds longer. It feels like the moment he finally embraces it you just pull on back and he looks so visibly sad and confused. Like cmon maaaan give the man a few seconds to enjoy a proper huuuug.
@capcorn2942 I watched a different video after this, and I learned that when you read his mind when he offers to turn you into a vampire spawn, it basically says how miserable he truly is. So, no ascended Astarion for me 😅
I've never even heard of baldur's gate much less 3 until Saturday today is Monday and im totally obsessed with this character and I'm REALLY like 95.99% sure I'm going to get this game just for him...
Want to hear a secret? Most people did during Early Access when they heard there was a pretty elf who we learned was a vamp. His good marketing for a reason! I bought it for him and NO REGRETS! Neil is a great voice actor lol.
The fact that his story is so very differeny depending on your choices with him, and the world at large. That he can be an entirely different *person* depending on the playthrough. This is stunning.
Me (and my Tav) normaly: I'm a strong independent woman with self-respect and a healthy standard for men, who's not falling for some cute fuckboy just because he's smooth talking. Me (and my Tav) when this fucking red flag of a man walks in: 10:59
😂 Posted 20 minutes ago and alread in my recommended videos?? I've been watching way too much Astarion content it seems Thanks for the compilation, it's great fun being able to watch a bunch of edits in one go!
It was recommended by YT? Wow I did something right it seems. It's really hard not to get addicted of this man, he's poetry..with a twist. Of course! I love making them. I also cannot stop making them 🤣 In fact, I'm working on another one rn 🌝
If I understand correctly, it is specifically after dark urge tries to kill astarion while romancing him, and you succeed at resisting enough to wake him, and he ties you up to help you resist through the night.

Why am I so obsessed with him?😅
It's hard not to 🤭
We all are bestie 🥲😍
The Astarion thirst is real. 😂
Never seen anything quite like this for a video game character!
Indeed, heil Larian Studios and Neil Newbon 🫀
Fuck me. I was full on "I won't let him ascend" but now that I've seen some of his ascended lines/cutscenes I don't know anymore 😭
Trust me, his non ascended lines are so good ;-; they made me cry... the scene is really beautiful and he stays himself ❤

Warning, depending on your tastes, the game has the 6 "origin" characters, they are all heart stealing romances, each in their own way!
At 5:02 I just know that every time you tell him "can we talk about us?" he has a whole panic attack inside 😂😭

"Can't you see that you're lost, without me?"
Dude, 1:02, "Cirice" was a perfect song choice, especially for Ascended Astarion!

I wonder where is the tied up comment from. I did the dark urge scene, but I never got that line after
