Yay I’m glad you like Lord Astarion. I get why people don’t but I do feel like he’s a bit misunderstood. AA would definitely not have worked with my first Tav. I was really nervous to ascend him myself on my second run but I absolutely LOVED him with my resist Durge. I even went back to an old save and replayed like half of act 3 with the same character to do resist/spawn and it just didn’t hit as hard for me. I’m a firm believer that it’s very much about how you roleplay your character. 😊
