As if Araj could get any creepier and prove Astarion didn't kill many people under Cazador.

*proof, sorry

These two things are not really connected at all, just interesting info I've found after reading through some datamined files.

  1. First, Araj bark lines are really-REALLY icky if you force Astarion to bite her - since I've never done it before, I've never seen them and decided to share with people who haven't seen them either. Next time someone will say it wasn't sexual for Araj... well, you are welcome to use my screenshots to prove them wrong.

2) If you talk with Lann Tarv as Astarion, after he asks you to prove that you are a great warrior, Astarion's specific line given to you is that you killed hundreds - but this is a deception check. Compare it with Shadowheart's line saying that she knows how to inflict pain - and this is an intimidation check instead. With others, you also have either Intimidation or Persuasion checks. I just find it informative, because there were many speculations about how many people Astarion killed under Cazador.
