i took this screenshot for my "astarion saying that is what you want" but i do not remember the context haha
I think it is ascendant astarion tho
Ah yes, found it
This is if the player tells them that all they wanted was for Astarion to love them. And astarion is like sure i love you, that is what you want to hear.
Other instances of Astarion talking about what YOU want, from memory:
If you break up with him, he says if that is what you want then we will leave it at that
If you break up with the other flirt and tell Astarion you could try being together for real he will reply with "we could try, if that is truly what you want"
Of course the romance ending where he stresses on "is THIS what you want"
The whole seduction from act 1 is FILLED and saturated with "what you want"
Of course the bad scene from act 2 where he says "if this is what you want I shall provide", but realizes how wrong it was at the end ("No matter what I say, it doesn't matter. Not if you get what you want.")
I will make a full list tho. I NEED IT. It is so interesting.
There are, as far as I remember, only three instances where you can ask him "what do YOU want" one for each act.
First sex scene, you can ask him what he wants, to which replies "pleasure, our collective ecstasy, That's what you want, isn't it? To lose yourself in me?" masterfully turning it around again
In act 2, during the drow-potion scene/confession scene you can ask him "what do you want to do" (about your relationship) to which he says "I... don't know. It's been so long since I've had to decide what I wanted"
The cemetery scene in act 3, where he finally realizes he has not really been able to have the autonomy to want "Now I need to figure out who I am. What I want." to which the player can ask "what do you want?" and Astarion replies with full on honesty
