It's super doable if you are up to it, the tutorial is really helpful. It's just going through the games loca file and finding the lines you want and copy pasting it to a new doc to change. But the tutorial can explain it better than I can.
i f*#@ing love astarion and this s#*! is so funny to me. i dont know why people r so mad abt this. i love bullying this man and bald astarion makes me cry laughing
You: "I love Astarion, but also it's hilarious and super fun to bully the character who's story revolves around being abused, lashing out as a defense mechanism, and coming to terms with being treated as something more than a sex object and slave-to-be-sacrificed :D"
my brother in Christ, if you legitimately have such a hard time separating fiction from reality, you probably shouldn't be anywhere near a game where you can be Dark Urge and roleplay as necrophiliac sadistic murderer bent on exterminating the world.
Astarion is not made of sugar and will not dissolve if someone DARES tell him he's an idiot when he's really acting like that. Besides, he's the kind of character who'll get on your neck if you give in once. He needs evolution, not a shock blanket.
To be fair all the companions deal with different kinds of traumatic memories they are going through. Astarion isn't the only one who was abused or even the only one who is lashing out as a defense mechanism.
Astarion has some of the best reactions if you are assertive and call him out on his egotism, that's literally programmed in the game... it's kind of like people are afraid to tell Garrus he was always ugly in Mass Effect when he takes it as a joke and tells you to stop making him laugh because his wounds might reopen.
There's already plenty of ways shutting him down even without any mods too, namely in the scene where he tries to bite you, and when you refuse to MAKE A DEAL WITH A DEVIL to satisfy his curiosity... honestly, Astarion and Voss have to be the most selfish allies in the game, they want YOU to sell your soul to help them.
So yeah, stop coddling... Mods to let you be nicer to Wyll and meaner to Astarion exist because these characters are like, asking for it.
i love astarion and he's my fav besides karlach but i have this sort of screwed up cuteness aggression where i feel like pulling and slapping him against a countertop like a rubber chicken and this sums up my thoughts entirely

This mod ain't it and this attitude ain't it.

And before any crybabies comment to me, it'd be funny if it was any of the characters.
So don't bother wasting your time bc I'm ignoring you.
