Ha I suppose we might as well start "Ladies of Faerun" guild right now
I'm actually having a hard time picking between Gale and Astarion - it's why I hooked my Wizard HE up with Gale and Seldarine drow Ranger with Astarion (even made her a "dream Astarion" as I was already using Alana's mod).
To ne however Astarion seems to be at least heavily influenced by Zevran. Love the sarcasm though.
Gale is actually pretty amazing once you manage to get all those scenes (I made a project out of it, deciding not to move on until I get it) so from what I've seen so far I think Larian deserves some praise in that regard.
Of course I miss some additional banters and flirts - yes exactly the way it's done in DAO (I had really hard time deciding between Zevran and Allistair too - usually hooked humans with Allistair and non-humans with Zevran). Hope we don't get the "one cutscene per chapter + one before final fight" approach.
Still I really wouldn't mind some Halsin - I'm willing to trade him for Minsc and Wyll (who does nothing for me)
Oh and here's Astarion's dream from "Play as Astarion" mod - heavy spoiler obviously
