Reddit user TalkAggravating2891 recently shared a post detailing problems with Astarion sinceBaldur’s Gate 3’s latest update. According to theBaldur’s Gate 3fan, the dialogue and romance cutscenes for Astarion don’t work like they used to. ManyBaldur’s Gate 3players have also noted that kissing animations for Astarion aren’t working. The voice lines fromBaldur’s Gate 3’s Astarionoften get interrupted during dialogue segments. ABaldur’s Gate 3player stated that the conclusion of Astarion’s romance story has a bugged cutscene and dialogue options. This issue is impacting PC and PS5 players alike, but it’s far from the only one affecting Astarion.
Although players have noticed these issues, Larian Studios didn’t include anything regarding kissing or Astarion specifically in the patch notes. According to one user, dataminers have found information suggesting that all romances were supposed to get new kiss animations. This may indicate that a change on the back end has somehow affected the kissing inadvertently. Astarion isn’t the only disappointment from recent updates, asone of the bestBaldur’s Gate 3memeshas been removed in the same patch. While Astarion is seemingly bugged,Baldur’s Gate 3players have confirmed that Gale, Halsin, and Karlach perform as intended.
