I'm sure this is a bug that's been mentioned before, because it's been there in every patch, but you cannot get Astarion's nightmare cutscene after the second tadpole dream if Shadowheart is at your camp. (The scene where you wake him up from the nightmare.)
I used to be able to get it by downing/killing her temporarily, but you can no longer long rest if a companion in your party is downed or dead. So the scene is impossible to get if Shadowheart is recruited. The only way to get it is if you dismiss her then permakill her. It's not possible to resurrect her via scroll or Withers the skeleton if you do that.
Not getting this scene also seems to lock me out of the scar reading scene, even if I romance him and see the scars that way.
I never recruit her anymore because she overrides Astarion's scenes. Good to know I need to continue doing that.

It used to be that, when you talk to Astarion after the first time Cazador is mentioned, he explains who he is. Now you can't get that particular dialogue until after you meet the hunter.
It's all very confusing/immersion breaking. I'm sure it will be fixed at some point but I thought I'd mention it in case the devs are unaware.
Before, people were complaining that Astarion talked about Cazador as his vampire master before they had the bite scene that reveals Astarion as a vampire. Now they reversed it, so even if you already know Cazador is Astarion's vampire master, after dream 2 Astarion just says "He was a... slaver in Baldur's Gate," as if you don't know Astarion is a vampire. I think they don't have enough checks on what he should say and when, so there's redundant dialog about Cazador now.
