Frankly, I booted him after the initial interaction in my first playthrough way back in early beta and haven’t added him at all in any run since. Fuck Astarion. Lying, piece of shit, low-effort sleep rapist.
Man… I guess considering your strong feelings about it, you’re better off without him, but he’s one of the most interesting companions in the game. He has a tragic backstory, and a cunning personality. He’s my second favorite companion overall. I was this close to betraying Karlach because of his machinations.

Seems to be the consensus.
