Honestly, can u blame him for that? i would too. i hate being blamed for something i don't do.

[@TetraTheMage]

@@Amynity ^^^^^^ agreed!

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

1. Alfira is already dead and pretending to "care" about it won't bring her back. 2. As a vampire spawn, Astarion is treated by society as an "unperson" anyone can murder on a whim, thus Astarion (who is already mistrustful of people after 200 years of abuse) lives in constant fear of his allies turning against him. The Dark Urge falsely blaming the murder on Astarion is not just a betrayal Astarion has subconsciously been waiting for, it's a very real threat to his life! Indeed, one ending (if the companions believe the Dark Urge's accusation) is that the companions gang up on him and murder Astarion! (Permadeath, just like when you stake him during the Act 1 Bite Night or hand him over to Gandrel.)

I love how Astarion is the sensible one in this situation. He can see right through Durge yet he remains calms and tries to understand. The best approach considering you don't want to make a person who stabbed an innocent girl to death in cold blood see you as a threat

[@TetraTheMage]

Absolutely agree, he’s dealt with craze murderers before 😅

[@SeventhheavenDK]

He doesn't understand anything. He simply finds the murder amusing. It's not that he is being empathetic with your character thinking that something is there inside her controlling her and least of all that she needs help.

[@TetraTheMage]

@@SeventhheavenDK technically your are right, he doesn’t care about our character until the middle of Act 2

[@thearcanamodernau8130]

@@SeventhheavenDK I don't think amusement is the right word for what he's feeling. He's worried he might be the next to get stabbed should he get on Durge's bad side, so he pretends to be sympathetic and makes a calm questioning instead of immediately judging Tav like the others

I mean… He literally has experience being controlled and forced to become a monster, though. It makes perfect sense that he might see some of himself in Durge-he certainly does later on (at least when being romanced, unsure otherwise)

[@johjoh9270]

I just noticed Astarion claims Tav woke him, but regardless of how innocent he is in this particular case, isn't he supposed to NOT sleep? he's a high elf, undead, and immune to sleep spells

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

Elves don't sleep like humans but they trance. And the game shows us that vampires _do_ sleep. (Just usually during the day.) Cazador's seven spawn all have beds in his palace. When you play as Origin Astarion, him sleeping badly due to recurring nightmares about Cazador (and reliving the night Cazador cut the runes into his back in painful detail) is even a plot point! Not sure why you think immunity to sleep spells has any relevance here. Those are _spells._

[@SLYKM]

I think maybe the lore interprets that elves don't need sleep, but that doesn't mean they don't enjoy the practice, or try to sleep anyway.

[@TetraTheMage]

Omg so I played durge as my second playthrough and when she showed up I thought I missed something in my last playthrough and we could recruit her! I was so happy! Then I was greeted with probably the most gruesome scene in the game 😞 At first I reloaded and did the thing to save Alfira and kill Quil, but then reloaded again and kept it true. Killing Alfira was heartbreaking but I felt like, lore wise, that would be the turning point for my character to actual resist the urges
