dark urge evil ending with romanced wyll

Narrator: *A thousand thousand respiring things lie below, pointing up at you, gasping their last. But there is one who deserves the honour of your first death. The beginning of your end.*

Wyll: We were meant to save the world - not damn it. You and I. Together.

Player options:

Kill with one last kiss.

You do not want to see what is to come. Death is my reward for your service.

Run from me when we land. We will meet again at the end of days, when I shall come for you.

If the first option is picked:

Wyll: I... I forgive you.

Spawn Astarion has always been against Tav\DU being absolute.

The Astarion and Ascended Astarion was in support.

There are several tags in the game that describe Astarion's paths.

ORI_Astarion_State_StayedVampireSpawn

(Spawn after qest)

ORI_Astarion_State_StayedVampireSpawn = False

(Spawn before qest and Lord)

ORI_Astarion_State_BecameVampireLord

(only Lord)

ORI_Astarion_State_BecameVampireLord = False

(Spawn before qest and after qest)

Spawn without completing the quest is the only chance to achieve the sun, remove some of the disadvantages of vampirism and take a power for revenge, self protection (and fun).

The Ascended Astarion has everything. He doesn't mind taking the Absolute. Why not? A weapon right in your pocket is a thing.

But he's totally chillin when Absolute gets defeated, because the it has its own complexities, and he's already free of all its vulnerabilities and the downside of vampirism.

Also in the case of relationships, Lord Astarion had already seen an example of the Tav's complete faith and trust when they helped him with the ritual and then became his spawn. So yeah, he trusted them completely and was fine for Tav\DU taking more power for themselves.

So yes the closest person to him betrayed him. His usual ‘trust no-one’ line, he trusted them and that's it.

So the moment people are talking about

There's a very simple reason for that: so you're allowed to take power, but I'm not? What the hell is this?

It's seen as deception, betrayal. First the heroes says ‘I want you to live a life you'll be proud of’ - not to take power in an immoral way. The way of redemption.

Then: well I'll take it for myself, let's go-o.

Astarion and his tormenting hunger, even if the tadpole stays.

-Hello?

Astarion: No... no, this can't be... I can't - you can't... no... 

ORI_Astarion_State_StayedVampireSpawn = False

Considering there's no Lord tag here, it's for all of Astarion except the spawn after the ritual.

Lord Astarion and Astarion before the ritual both trusted Tav and thought they would be together, ruling together too, drinking from golden goblets ans stuff, the two of them and no one advertising the path of ‘redemption’ and then taking power just for themselves.

The cool thing about Baldur’s Gate 3 is that if you wait for enough patches to go by, you can play an entirely different game than the one that came out at launch

[rowan-of-waterdeep]

Larian: Horrifying. We should check on Astarion.

[cornflowersisblue]

Can you suggest options with other characters for these positions?

Holy War

I really wanted a finale where Shadowheart defies both Shar and Selune , choosing instead to embark in a crusade to destroy them both. Patch 7 gave us this as an evil ending with the elder brain power but I like to think that there’s a good finale where Shadowheart chooses this path :)
