The discussion regarding this topic was started by a Reddit user named MarziaIsASweetheart. The player mentioned, “I took a long rest at the end of the temple before the big battle in Act 2. Astarion talked to me about his feelings, and I said, “Oh yeah, this answer is what a chaotic evil person would pick”. He then broke up with me.”
The Reddit user performed a Google search and they found out that they cannot romance Astarion anymore. As such, they mentioned in their post, “I looked at my saves, I only had a save outside the mausoleum. Meaning I had to redo the whole thing.” They eventually concluded, I sat there for a whole minute, pondering if I needed romance in this game, playing a super evil character and all. I did the whole thing again, picked a good answer for romance, and now we’re ok, I’m ok.”

Save Karlach for me. 🙂 She won me over with the way she said I LOVE YOU TOO!” Lastly, a player commented, “I love how people are willing to drop hours of progress in this game because now they can’t kiss the cute vampire boy.
