Should I Let Astarion Bite Me & Drink Blood in Baldur’s Gate 3?
You should let Astarion bite you if you want to unlock Romance options with him or get friendlier with him. In case you aren’t comfortable then you can still reject him without causing much damage to your relation with him or his presence to the party.
Regardless of whether you let him bite you, he will still unlock the Vampire Bite action. Using this skill Astarion attacks his target and drinks their blood to recover 2D4 HP. The target will also take Piercing damage. The best part is biting a creature does not break stealth.
Although, the worst outcome here would be to make him leave the party or killing him. Here is how all options play out.
Let him Bite you
Once Astarion bites you, you get the option to Persuade or Push him back [Strength] to make him stop. You can also use Melee Attack to use a stake to kill him. (Not recommended). If you pass the Dice check you will make Astarion stop. He gets happier (if you don’t kill him) and leaves to hunt animals to complete his dinner.
