#he thinks using the tadpole is beneficial to him because the power it gives him makes it useful

[utterdrip]

idk when people talk about ascended astarion i feel like they dont mention how he reverts back to early game where he prioritized people based on their usefulness

this is 1000% backed up by ascended astarion encouraging his love interest to let araj experiment on their blood - if its powerful, its useful

#frankie posts #bg3 spoilers #he kinda stops in act ii ish act iii #he rates cure chances by how useful they are #(the creche halsin priestess gut etc.) #he thinks using the tadpole is beneficial to him because the power it gives him makes it useful #(until seeing the consequences of them) #second night at camp where he says he’ll stab that pretty little heart of the players #he is very jokey and light hearted but some of the dialogue ends with ‘dont worry. i still need you after all.’ #post vampire confession if u want him to leave he argues that hes useful if nothing else #he sleeps w the player because it would be useful to have someone on his side #he thinks raphael is useful for deciphering his scars
