In the opening stages of Act 3, party contains “Tav”, Minthara, Astarion, & Shadowheart. All “good” or better approval, romancing Minthara, and focused largely on conversation choices boosting her approval. After several hours’ play, I wandered into Sharress’s Caress, talked to the drow twins, and discovered that somehow Astarion had become my romantic partner. I had only conversed with him about Cazador and avoided encouraging him to “bite me tonight,” while with Minthara I had aced the Dryad quiz etc. Not sure if this was a result of hotfix #9, but it looks like I need to go back almost to the beginning of the Act to find a time when the Drow twins see Minthara as my partner.
[edit: I checked back on a bunch of saves, almost all showed Astarion as the partner when I hopped over to check out the twins]
Can there be a more reliable way to check romance status than running over to the brothel and ask for a four-way? I’d rather not sink several more hours of free-time into an irrevocable unsuspected unwanted path?
