I'm for one is really happy about this change compared to BG1&BG2. I don't want to play as a rogue, and I don't want Astarion forced into my party to unlock chests or disarm traps.

We have a limited 4-sized party, and after Act 1 we won't be able to keep using any of the side-lined party members according to Larian. They might change their mind about it, but Astarion is definitely not one of the companions I intend to keep if I'm forced to choose.
