Astarion Romance Guide – General Tips for Increased Approval
Right from the start: Astarion’s approval increases when you engage in self-serving acts. However, the idea that you can romance him better as a evil character
is not true. Therefore, here are some fundamental tips for your interactions.
First of all: You must start the romance in Act 1. It is unfortunately not possible to join later. However, it is sufficient to have Medium Approval with him at this point.
Astarion’s Character in Brief
Astarion’s story revolves heavily around coercion and autonomy. He pretends to be an unapproachable, cold-blooded vampire who is not concerned with the fate of the world around him.
In reality, he has undergone 200 years of brutal slavery. He fears losing his newly gained autonomy. This leads him to want to manipulate your character with sex. Once he trusts you, he will reveal his wounded soul and ask for help. However, it takes time for him to feel secure enough with you.
How do I increase Astarion’s approval? If you want to raise Astarion’s esteem, especially at the beginning, make rather self-serving decisions. He doesn’t seem to appreciate it when you help other people. In reality, it’s mostly because he thinks that you already have enough of your own problems. So why take on the problems of others as well?
So he will not appreciate it if you are offering help to everyone and their mother, especially in Act 1. Kagha and the refugees are at the top of his They should take care of their own business
list.
If he approaches you in dialogues, you should not reject him. That would hurt his ego and drive his approval for you down. Loyalty is important to him.
