I am on game version V4.1.1.3700362

After killing Cazador I got a popup conversation with Astarion, he thanked me for saving him and called me an equal partner. According to youtube I suppose to have a graveyard date cutscene when I move on and take a long rest. Nothing happens. Which breaks my heart into thousands pieces, for all the hundreds hours I've devoted to the game trying to romance him...

These are the things that I've tried, none of them work though:

- Killed him, revive him and took a long rest
- Reload a savefile where I just enter act3 and ran straight to murder Cazador, skipping all the duke ceremony and everything, took a long rest
- Done a bunch of stuff in the city including killing Orin, went to circus together and get the cutscene where Astarion siblings tried to kidnap him, killed Cazador at the very next day
- Taking long rest in the outskirt village
- Taking long rest in the Eleven Tavern
- Breakup with Halsin and took the long rest, or load a early file when Halsin didn't ask for an open relationship

All leads to the same result, popup only but no cutscene. I am feeling a bit desperate really lol I've killed Cazador too many times and it's becoming tiring.

I am pretty sure that we are in the romance status for we can discuss our relationship or kiss him.
Can somebody please help me or should I seal the game away until further fix is released? Is this even a glitch or I've done something wrong? cryiconcryiconcryicon

When you say "pop up only" but no scene, do you mean the scene triggers but the screen is black and volume is gone? or the scene never happens? Sorry.. confused. I had a problem with the ascended Astarion scene, where the scene would trigger, but everything went black, I only saw conversation options and nothing else. Seems like his Act 3 romance scenes might be borked in general, although I had no issues with the "good" ending.

The cutscene never happens for me...By popup I mean the conversation with a speech bubble. Yeah maybe it's simply broken for Act 3 same as many other bug quests frown I got other long rest cutscene though, like the one happens right after shadowheart's last quest.

Thanks for the reply! Maybe I should give the ascended option a try to see if it makes any difference

I do hope they fix it for you. The good ending scene in the graveyard is so sweet and makes all the angst worth it. IMO anyway.

Thanks! I just finished the game but never get to see the good/bad graveyard cutscene, however I got the good ending dialog, so I am pretty sure it's bugged. I will just keep the save file and loop back when it's fixed.

Are you skipping certain quest updates or scenes? Like talking to the prisoners or children? Any previous scenes regarding Astarion's "siblings"? There are two scenes. Or other camp dialogues you might have missed? I ask because I didn't rush anything and the graveyard scene played fine for me, as well as his follow-up dialogue. I just did it about 2 days ago. Are you talking to him after Cazador's death, encountering the Gur, then going to camp and resting? The scene should trigger that night. The only thing I had left to do was kill Orin, Gortash and go to the House of Hope. Only sidequests left were the clown and the Hag.

I didn't talk to the children on my playthrough, missed them entirely, as well as missing out on meeting the Gur before going to the palace. I can't see that it would mess with a cutscene not triggering, or being blacked out, but who knows. There were some odd Dark Urge bugs too if you didn't find out certain things before you actually entered the city.
