 Like the other major romance options in the game, Astarion's relationship progression can be divided into specific stages: friendly, flirting, partnered, and ex-partnered:
-# '''Friendly:''' The friendly stage begins at medium approval, and is the default stage for non-romanced companions.
+* '''Friendly:''' The friendly stage begins at medium approval, and is the default stage for non-romanced companions.
-# '''Flirting:''' Once the player sleeps with Astarion during Act 1, you will enter the flirting stage.
+* '''Flirting:''' Once the player sleeps with Astarion during Act 1, you will enter the flirting stage.
-# '''Partnered:''' In Act 2 with high enough approval, and if the player is not in the partnered stage with any other companion, you will be able to partner with Astarion during the long rest following speaking with [[Araj Oblodra]] at [[Moonrise Towers]] if you do not coerce him to bite her. This stage comes with unique party/camp interactions. You can also enter this stage by not speaking to Araj Oblodra, but instead by having Astarion at very high approval and progressing Astarion's companion quest by killing Yurgir. Both methods give a unique confession scene.
+* '''Partnered:''' In Act 2 with high enough approval, the player will be able to partner with Astarion during the long rest. The point of proceeding into this stage can be reached in either of two ways:
-# '''Ex-Partnered:''' Once partnered with Astarion, the player can break up with him anytime by selecting the appropriate dialogue option. This way, the player will return to the friendly stage with Astarion for greetings/interactions. However, Astarion can also break up with the player of his own accord if the player makes certain choices, such as making him bite Araj Oblodra, coercing him into sex, saying it is okay for him to be thrown on the pyre by the Gur, saying his siblings can take him when they come to camp, or refusing to become his spawn if he has become the Vampire Ascendant. In these cases, Astarion will start using negative, but unique greetings.
+:* After speaking with [[Araj Oblodra]] at [[Moonrise Towers]].
+:* Having Astarion at Very High approval (70+) and progressing Astarion's companion quest by killing [[Yurgir]].
+:This stage comes with unique party/camp interactions. If the player is partnered stage with any other companion, they will trigger a dialogue afterwards where they will be offered to make an ultimate choice. However, the unique confession cutscene offers an option to return to '''Friendly''' stage without losing any approval.
+* '''Ex-Partnered:''' Once partnered with Astarion, the player can break up with him anytime by selecting the appropriate dialogue option. This way, the player will return to the friendly stage with Astarion for greetings/interactions. However, Astarion can also break up with the player of his own accord if the player makes certain choices, such as coercing him into sex (after making him bite Araj Oblodra), saying it is okay for him to be thrown on the pyre by the Gur, telling his siblings can take him when they come to the camp, or refusing to become his spawn if he has become the Vampire Ascendant. In these cases, Astarion will start using negative, but unique greetings.
