Astarion/Approval

Template:CompanionTab Astarion likes displays of power and cruelty, and appreciates snarkiness and mocking. He is inspired when the player gains access to areas/information by deceiving others. The player does not have to be "evil" to gain his approval, however — he approves when the player makes choices that support independence and autonomy, and when the player helps certain characters in need.

Astarion dislikes displays of weakness and does not like acts of kindness or charity that offer no reward. He disapproves when the player tries to rein him in or restrict him in some way.

The actions and choices listed on this page will raise or lower Astarion's Approval.

For more information about the approval system, see Approval.

Greetings

Depending on his approval rating, Astarion may greet the player with:

Negative (<0):

“You again.”
"What do you need now?"
"You're staring at me again. What do you want?"

Neutral (0 - 29):

"Well, hello. What can I do for you?"
“Yes?
“Need Something?”

Medium and up (30+):

"Ah, my favourite travelling companion."
"Hello, my dear."
"What can I do for you, my friend?"

When spoken to by someone other than the player character:

"Sorry, darling, I haven't got time for underlings."

Romance

Flirting:

"It's always a pleasure to see you sauntering over."
"Yes, darling?"
"Hello, beautiful."
"I did miss that face, you know."
"Hello, my sweet."

Partnered:

"Gods, you're beautiful."
"Is there something you want to talk about, my dear?"

Broken up:

"Why in the hells are you bothering me now?"

After completing The Pale Elf

Act 3 Spoilers! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

Ascended:

"Look at you, precious thing. You always stare so eagerly."
"Ask me anything, and it will be yours."
"Little love, whatever could be the matter?"
"My consort, we are so close to our triumph, I can almost taste it."
"Yes, my treasure?"

Spawn:

"Ah, you're so adorable when you're thinking what to say."
"I hope there's nothing troubling you, my dear?"
"Yes, love?"

Dark Urge exclusive

Astarion also has some greetings exclusive to the Dark Urge origin. He will only say these once:

"You have a manner of irresistible desperation about you. I like it."
"My sweet, conflicted villain. What can I do for you?" (after killing Isobel)
"Come to kill me again, darling?" (when romanced, if the player successfully refrained from killing him after failing to kill Isobel)
"My dagger-happy friend. What troubles you?"
"Precious little Bhaal-Babe!" (after the player discovers the truth about their parentage in Act 3, might need high approval)
