Play as Astarion, they said. It will be fun, they said.
It's not fun. It's really fucking sad because now Astarion started dating Karlach and I can't stop thinking about a) how hurt she'd be if she'd knew that rn Astarion is only telling her what she wants to hear so she'll protect him, and b) the fact that Karlach is such a jackpot for Astarion because she's big and strong and desperate for connection and to sweeten the deal she refuses to touch him due to burn risk.
Protection and loyalty and all it cost was a peck on the lips and some dirty talk? That's almost too good to be true.
