Yes, releasing the 7000 spawn in Baldur's Gate 3 is generally the most recommended and favorable option. This decision leads to a positive outcome for the spawn themselves and poses no threat to the citizens of Baldur's Gate.
Why Releasing the Spawn is Recommended
When you choose to release the spawn, Astarion takes charge and directs his vampire brethren to a safe haven. This choice is beneficial for several key reasons:
- Safety from Sunlight: The spawn are directed to the Underdark, an expansive subterranean realm where they are naturally shielded from the sun's deadly rays. This provides them with a permanent, secure environment.
- Abundant Resources: The Underdark offers a vast ecosystem rich in potential food sources, ensuring that the 7000 spawn can sustain themselves without needing to prey on humanoids.
- Protection for Baldur's Gate: By guiding them away from the city and towards the Underdark, Astarion ensures that the newly freed vampires will not become a danger or terrorize the innocent citizens of Baldur's Gate. This prevents a potential humanitarian crisis and maintains peace in the region.
This choice aligns with a more compassionate and pragmatic resolution, offering freedom to the spawn while safeguarding the well-being of the city's inhabitants.
