One of my favorite parts of interacting with Astarion is the fact that we often have two very different viewpoints on things. To us we are doing Astarion a solid. We think we're being more than generous and perhaps for the more good aligned playersz stopping unnecessary deaths. But for Astarion it's almost entirely the opposite. He approves if you agree he can eat bad guys as he chooses but when you tell him to only feed on you then i believe he sees it as simply another form of being controlled. You and only you get to decide when he gets to feed on anything other than animals. Or telling him he's only allowed to feed on animals. Restricting him similarly to Cazador if for different reasons.
I totally agree. Also, we shouldn't forget that he is the happiest "when he is elbow-deep in gore". So feeding on any living enemy of his choosing really makes him "happy".
Maybe he feels guilty? If you look at his expression in the bite scene with freecam after he turns away he looks wrecked. Then again, he approves when you let him bite you during the act 1 romance scene? I don't know, great video though! :)

Thank you! 💜Which scene are you talking about where he looks wrecked after he turns away?
