This moment happens on the first night when you play Astarion. As Astarion can choose to break Cazador's final rule or attack an animal. If you play as not-Astarion you find a drained boar after the first or second night - which means Astarion chose not to feed on anyone until he is "desperate." I think it makes it all the more heartbreaking, canonically (when left to his own choices not the players) Astarion is too afraid to risk breaking Cazador's rule willingly until he is forced to.

Did some further research into it and apparently elves may sleep instead of meditating if they're in particularly rough shape, such as being ill or badly wounded. Drow also apparently don't mediate as often as other elves either, which I found interesting.

I want to romance Gale as Astarion so bad now just from that scene. He was so caring toward Astarion, even with the more vicious 'lost control bite', telling him to spit it out. That's so cute. No way Astarion wouldn't want him after being treated with such unexpected care under such circumstances. So ironic since when you don't play as Astarion, Astarion can be so catty toward Gale and they get those sibling rivalry vibes going instead. lol I never would have paired them up till I saw this scene.

Vampires in DnD setting don't require humanoid blood, they can survive on animal blood indefinitely. It's not as "tasty" or empowering as humanoid blood, but they won't starve from it. Case in point, Astarion who is implied to never had drunk blood of sentient creatures in his 200 years of unlife.

This scene seem to be missable if you reveal you are a vampire either through using the bite skill on anything, being outed by the vampire hunter, and/or confessing to any companion. Tested this with a full party patch 5. Wyll can be bitten and becomes a bit angry if you were caught. Karlach however Astarion simply refuses to approach/bite since he knows her fiery blood. Karlach approach scene seemed a bit bugged it showed approaching Shadowheart instead. If you give in to the hunger and kill someone with Astarion they can't be revived. The party did only comment on the dead companion. Confessing you're a vampire afterwards to anyone doesn't lead to a confrontation about you killing said character.

Also, there's a hierarchy in terms of the power in the blood... The blood of higher thinking humanoids is more powerful and was always denied to the spawn for that reason, and he would also restrict them to vermin as punishment, which sounds like it was pretty much always that way for Astarion. He has a dialogue when you aren't playing as him that you can get where he asks permission to drink from you, and explains that he feels week and his mind hazy because the situation has led to him needing more than he's normally allowed. Once you let him drink from you he gets a special buff and he describes how clear headed and strong he feels, as though he was feeling well for the first time in memory.
