It seems that they made SH more agreeable to them at the cost of making her more boring to the others. I'm guessing that while all NPC's are supposed to be playable, SH is specially meant as a romance more that anything else, so they try hard for SH to be likable.

PD: I kind of liked Astarion saying the "you are staring again" and his other anthics. It was fun. The flirty tone for when he has higher approval doesn't fit at less approval. Besides, what would he say when approval goes higher?
