Yes I had managed to do the Goblin fight at the Grove without letting anyone die (yay inspiration point!) and walked through the gate to Zevlor, was still in Wolf form. Conversation defaulted to Astarion whom I was controlling at the time, and I'm sure I've done that scene as a companion before, so the lines would be in the game... but this time just as the scene began, they ran through a few spoken lines then when it came to my response, it was like they saw my wolf approach and ran away! Cutscene stopped midway through, Aradin and everyone else simply ran as if in a panic.
And my most recent save was BEFORE the goblin fight. Sigh...
