THE WAY ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO STOP ASTARION FROM KILLING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND BECOMING THE VAMPIRE ASCENDANT IS TO TELL HIM THAT YOU WANT HIM TO BE ABLE TO BE PROUD OF HIMSELF AND THAT HE CAN'T BE PROUD OF THAT, AND THAT'S IT!!!!!!! AND THEN HE MAKES THE RIGHT DECISION TO NOT DO IT ALL ON HIS OWN!!! BUT IF YOU FORCE HIM TO NOT DO IT HE WILL BECOME HOSTILE OR LEAVE FOREVER!!!! THE WAY IF YOU FORCE SHADOWHEART NOT TO KILL AYLIN SHE WILL ARGUE AND FIGHT YOU TO THE DEATH FOR HER GODDESS BUT IF YOU DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND STAND BACK AND LET HER CHOOSE SHE WILL MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION TO SPARE AYLIN ALL ON HER OWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE WAY ROBBING YOUR COMPANIONS OF THEIR AGENCY HAS CONSEQUENCES!!!! THE WAY RESPECTING THEM AND TREATING THEM LIKE REAL PEOPLE WITH FREE WILL HAS REWARDS!!!!!!!
