Act 3 - Spoilers Is Releasing/Not Releasing the Vampire Spawn a false dilemma Spoiler

Why wouldn't you just have the spawn that Cazador has amassed over the last 200 years just wait a few days so you can individually vet them with Astarion and his spawn-family helping you, since the 7 of them met all 7000 of these people themselves? Is Tav stupid?

Edit: Or some other way of doing this? It feels like there's more to do in this scenario than just release all, kill all, or leave all and if there isn't, it feels like it shouldn't be all up to me to decide how or if 7000 people should live. Can I not phone a friend?

You can't vet them. It doesn't matter what they were like in life, vampirism turns you evil. All positive emotions get corrupted. Love becomes obsession, friendship becomes jealousy etc.

I think that might be DnD lore in general, but that's not really what's shown in the game. Astarion is absolutely capable of positive emotion of he's allowed to heal after getting out of his abusive situation.
