Since Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 launched last year, it\u2019s no secret that Astarion has become one of the community\u2019s favorites. Despite many praising his in-depth storyline, however, the rogue vampire can be quite tricky to please \u2013 especially if you\u2019re running a morally good playthrough. Much of his disapproval comes from when you decide to help others, whether that\u2019s lending a hand to the Tieflings in the grove, agreeing with Halsin to kill the Goblin leaders, or even freeing a particular artist in the Zhentarim hideout. The list goes on. Luckily, you don\u2019t always have to be cold-hearted to have the vampire by your side, as one player has shared the \u201ckey\u201d to raising his approval to high for those who are struggling in a Reddit thread. The user explained that after dealing with getting stuck on medium approval despite Astarion \u201cseemingly warming up\u201d to their \u201cgoddy-two-shoes Tav\u201d from his greetings, they\u2019ve found a way to reach high approval without having to \u201cbetray\u201d their \u201cgood playthrough.\u201d \u201cAnd I did it by \u2026 quietly admiring a cat \u2026 That was it. That was the deciding factor, the last act that made Astarion go from not minding to liking my people-pleasing Tav,\u201d they wrote. \u201cSo, to everyone else struggling to earn Astarion\u2019s approval with a good-aligned Tav, just know the key to his heart is the key to so many people\u2019s hearts: cats.\u201d Some players in the comments said this made a lot of sense, as Neil based Astarion\u2019s behavior \u201con a feral cat he spent 3 years trying to befriend.\u201d Meanwhile, one user claimed that the secret to getting Astarion to like you is \u201cchaos.\u201d This involves vandalizing Vlaakith\u2019s portrait, giving him the \u201ccreepy book,\u201d and letting him walk on an ogre and bugbear having intercourse, among others. \u201cHe\u2019s a gremlin and he likes fellow gremlins. This is why he also likes cats,\u201d they added. Speaking of cats, some of them can be found in Act 2, one of which can be seen hanging around the Last Light Inn. They don\u2019t always seem welcoming at first, but hearing their dialogues with Speak with Animals is one of the things you should do at least once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player unveils the \u201ckey\u201d to getting Astarion\u2019s high approval larian studiosOne Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has shared one particular interaction you shouldn\u2019t miss out on if you want to raise Astarion\u2019s approval.
