*After the cutscene of Astarion sneaking away at night triggers, the player can find an exsanguinated boar at the bridge before the [[Blighted Village]], to the far right path of the signpost saying "Moonhaven" (north of the village), or just after the dialogue with Auntie Ethel at the entrance of Sunlit Wetlands (south of the village). The following long rest, the player will wake up to Astarion trying to drink their blood. He will approve of the player saying they trust him, and further approve of them letting him drink their blood. Note that if the player doesn't successfully stop him the '''second''' time the choice is presented, the player will die. They can simply be revived using a revivify scroll later.
[[File:Astarion Portrait.png|80px|left]]
 
After flirting with Astarion, he will suggest sleeping together during a long rest in any area in [[Act One]], which will initiate his romance. This will also occur during the tiefling or goblin celebration; if the player has high enough approval, Astarion will be receptive to the player asking to have a "night of passion" with him, otherwise he will only join the player if they persuade him to "say 'please'".{{verify}}
*Getting a substantial lead, either the location of the Githyanki Crèche from [[Zorru]], Priestess Gut from [[Sazza]], or learning about Halsin's possible whereabouts from [[Nettie]], will trigger a scene with him later in camp when you talk to him. He remarks how he likes the player, and the player can respond in a flirtatious manner. No approval changes from any options. Note that you may want to wait to trigger this scene till later since the dialogue makes it sound as if he and the player have been travelling together for a while, but that's preference
 
*A scene can be triggered at camp where Astarion says he has fed on a bear, the following conversation nets no approval changes but he makesa few playful quips to the player and they can do so in turn. The parameters for trigger this is unclear at the moment (possibly average-good relationship), but you at least need to know he is a vampire
 
*If the player allows Astarion to kill [[Gandrel]], the gur monster hunter who can be found to the left of the [[Riverside Teahouse]], you can talk to him to trigger a conversation where he invites the player to have sex with him; no approval changes for the dialogue in favor of it. To get the dialogue to kill Gandrel: know Astarion is a vampire before triggering the convo, then ask Gandrel what he is hunting, then picking "Only a spawn? Pity. Not like he's a real vampire." then picking either the first or second option.
 
A similar scene with the same outcomes should trigger when the player reaches Good approval with Astarion, even without dealing with the Gur{{verify}}
 
*The above mentioned conversation will trigger a sex scene after you go to sleep, but the dialogue and scene are that of the tiefling party. The scene has no approval besides him approving if you sleep with him, but if you act as if you don't trust him he will be upset and leave rather than sleeping with the player. The player will wake the next morning to Astarion standing shirtless, back turned to them, and can make a playful quip before asking him about the scars on his back; no approval changes.
 
*As early as [[Chapter One]], a scene can trigger where Astarion is looking into a mirror. The player may compliment him on anything to effectively “flirt” with him, aside from his moles and smile lines (this will lead to him being upset and leaving). This does not affect approval
 
*At either the goblin or the tiefling party, the player can agree to sleep with Astarion afterwards. It will trigger the above mentioned sex scene if this is the first time the player has slept with him. During the actual sex scene, the player can opt to show him their neck (if they are aware he is a vampire) to him to gain approval points, or not for no approval changes. The next morning, the player will awake to see Astarion standing, back turned to them. They can make a few quips (no approval changes) and/or ask him about the scars on his back (no approval changes).
 
*If the player has already slept with Astarion, then talking with Astarion at the party will result in a much more familiar conversation, where he can even tell the player he loves them, though he is just using shallow charm (no approval changes). Agreeing to sleep with him again will simply end the night as per usual, sex is simply implied.

<big>'''''Heavy Chapter 2 and 3 Spoilers Ahead'''''
</big>
{{SpoilerBox|
Heading into Chapter 2 and 3, it is important to note that some choices you make, Astarion will disapprove of, but they may be for the "better". Disapproval of an action will not lock you out of romance scenes, and he may even change his outlook on your actions later on.
 
*The next substantial scene with Astarion happens after the player goes to bed after talking to [[Araj Oblodra]] with Astarion in the party. She is a vendor located on the main floor of [[Moonrise Towers]]. Players can pick whichever option they feel suits how they want their relationship with Astarion to be. Picking options that manipulate Astarion into having sex with you simply for pleasure will be followed by a cutscene where Astarion breaks up with the player.
 
A similar scene with the same outcomes will trigger if your approval with Astarion is maxed in Chapter 2, even if you don't talk to Araj{{verify}}
 
*Once the party successfully completes [[Kill Raphael's Old Enemy]], Raphael will inform Astarion about the nature of his scars and the player can then talk with Astarion about the information revealed. It is important to ponder how you want to proceed with this, as it will change Astarion's fate and the dynamic of his relationship with the player.
 
*Once you have made it past out of the Shadow-Cursed Lands, the player can find Astarion's fellow spawn in Fraygo's Flophouse near the Southspan of Wyrm's Crossing waypoint. If the player did not interact with them, then long resting a couple times in the area should trigger a scene where they come talk to you at camp.{{verify}} The player is free to choose any responses they want, but may see disapproval pop up at certain choices. His siblings will attack the party, and afterwards he will talk to the player. Again, you may choose to respond however you feel.
 
*Once the player confronts Cazador, they may choose what outcome they want. They can convince Astarion to simply kill Cazador instead of performing the rite himself, or he can perform the rite and become a Vampire Ascendant. Note that if he goes through with the rite, everyone in the cells will die. An additional note: Astarion becoming the Vampire Ascendant will completely change how he acts towards everything, including the player. He will be more controlling and forceful, more stereotypical "evil tyrant". Some players may be uncomfortable with such a dynamic, so be sure to pick carefully.
 
*After the conclusion of the rite, a scene with Astarion will be triggered depending on the outcome. If he went through with the rite, the player can tell him they would like to be a vampire like him, and he can and will turn the player into his spawn. The player is, as always, free to choose whatever options they want following, but becoming Astarion's spawn means you can no longer break up with him. The option is there to try, but he will not let you go.
 
*If he did not go through with the rite, he will tell the player he would like to show them something outside the city, and take them to see his grave. You're free to choose any options you want, but note that accepting to sleep with him will result in an extra bit of dialogue where he tells the player he loves them.

Wyll romance

Romance is an optional feature in Baldur's Gate 3. The player can start a romantic relationship with several different characters, be it a brief fling or long-term. Some relationships can find their peak in sexual scenes, while others will follow different paths.

Characters can show interest in the player regardless of race and gender. More significant relationships will occur only with companions. Romance is available in multiplayer, but players will not be able to start a romance with each other.

It is possible to be in a relationship with one of the Origin characters #Karlach, #Shadowheart, or #Astarion, as well as in a relationship with #Halsin. Other characters will not consent to being in a polyamorous relationship, and further, the player cannot be in a polyamorous relationship that includes multiple Origin characters. Companions will not initiate any polyamory on their own with other characters.

There are also some sexual encounters the player can initiate with characters who are not companions.
