I don't like her, but I used her a lot. I hate Astarian so much that he's never in my party. A lot of the npcs have unlikable elements
Astarion I absolutely cannot stand either.
I love Astarion. My character is pretty evil for the first run so he fits in nicely too
Lmao, I meant to play a good character and mostly I'm succeeding. I still usually do the good thing, if not so much the...altruistic nonpayment thing. But I've gotten a lot of amusement out of the realization he is making me worse.
It's just so fun to listen to his snark that I have trouble turning down an option I know he has an opinion on. The writers, animators, and voice actors all did an incredible job on this game and his actual backstory beyond what I had expected to be lame twilight fanservice is SO much fun for someone as overanalytical as I am to take apart. I find guessing at his psyche as interesting as it is realistic.
However, functionally, Astarion is the demon on my left shoulder. And he is ruining me.
