A missed opportunity with Astarion
A missed opportunity with Astarion
I feel like an oversight or a missed opportunity regarding Astarion was that he couldn't perform Vampire Bite on Cazador during the Ascension ritual fight. Like I understand that you can't use it on undead but with the trouble that the game established with Astarion explaining how a vampire spawn can turn into a true vampire, you would think that biting Cazador would be an exception. I think it would've been a great and ironic twist for Astarion to be able to become his own master that way as well. But oh well, I'm guessing it would've lessen the impact of certain outcomes to Astarion's questline.
Astarion says that you have to be allowed to bite them.
It was never stated in the game that the true vampire needs to give permission/consent, just that they usually would never give them the opportunity to drink their blood. In theory, a spawn could force their way if given the chance.
Incorrect. The dialogue in game emphasizes the word, "allows," and talks about how true vampires don't want the competition.
But it is more that vampire spawns are puppets and only if their master allows it they could bite.
Ohhh that's true! Even as a cutscene at the end of the fight or something by choosing this as one of the dialog options.
Right? Hell, it would be a great "consolation" reward for not getting a certain outcome, if you pick the right dialogue choices, or something.
