Options to define our characters are a good thing; the ability to characterise ourself and how we feel about things is important in a character driven roleplaying game.
I agree. I would like more options to call the companions/NPCs out on the racist remarks that were mentioned above, too. My Tavs would not just swallow their anger if they were insulted, they would definitely not put up with that.
I would very much like more options to define my Tav's character in dialogue. Since our Tav's lines are not voiced, it should not be too much of a problem to add some dialogue lines, to give players the possibility to react more in character, especially when talking to the companions. Of course, it would be really nice if said companions would react to this, too - this could lead to very interesting dialogues, heated arguments, or maybe even some character development on our companions' side. I know, this would be a lot of work, and is therefore probably not possible.
I like that the option to call Astarion out on his racism in the dialogue with Gandrel has been added. Someone has to rebuke Astarion, and my Tav will be very happy to do that, every time.
His frequent racist remarks are the one thing in Astarion's character writing that really bother me, not every elf noble has to be a racist. He would still have enough flaws without it
