Listen, this is hardly the most important thing Larian should be working on (fix the ending, please!) but it still needs to be put out there since they're adding little quality of life things now like the mirror:

Intimacy in this game comes close to satisfying but I think it would really help if, instead of all companions sleeping in an awkward square around the fire, that we have the option of snuggling with our romance option in their tent or on their bedroll instead.

Anyone who has read my posts knows I'm a softy for Astarion, and dammit, that poor boy needs some more intimacy that isn't oriented around sex.
His hug scene is SO SWEET. I would KILL for moments where we can hold each other's hands or cuddle at night or hold his face or something!

And he's not the only one that would make my heart melt if we had more options like this. Karlach, Gale, Shadowheart, Minthara; they all need a hug and a cuddle!

So anyway, it would be a small little quality of life thing, but if I hit Long Rest and I'm suddenly being held/holding Astarion, that would just be the absolute (lol) best.

You are right, its not important. Larian should spend their effort elsewhere like fixing the story and, once finished, adding new companions.

Astarion in particular desperately needs intimacy that's not about sex.

I would very much appreciate this feature to be added to the game

It's certainly strange that we're repeatedly shown sleeping alone (also that Tav doesn't get a fancy tent like the others, and that the others abandon their cozy tents when they're in the party). Maybe it's just supposed to be ignored as part of gameplay/story segregation, but if there's any way Larian could manage to do better, it'd be appreciated on my end!

I did never understand why my companions and me have to sleep where we does, having a lot of tents available xDDDD

Yes, absolutely, it would make more sense.

Once Withers states that you have found a partner, then it makes sense that you interract with them more at camp. Running up having a few quick words and moving on does not a relationship make.
Personally I would love to just sit round the campfire on my bedroll next to my partner with their arm around me even if only for a few minutes.

I guess if its cold then sleeping near Karlach would be ok
