This Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Makes A Controversial Change For Ascended Astarion Lovers
The choice to help Astarion become the Vampire Ascendent in is a controversial one that divides fans of the vampire companion. Once ascending, Astarion’s character becomes more sinister and controlling than he was before the ritual, and the pre-programmed facial expressions in-game make that clear. Players can continue to romance him after he’s ascended, though Tav’s facial expressions will unveil the sudden shift in their power dynamic.
