I would love, if that scene would get a change.
There was some promises in the past ... i once again forgot the name of user who quoted it ...
But she (i believe) have female drow in leather armor in avatar.

And yet, in Fextralife gameplay from Gent, we have seen the exactly same scene.

And yes, i am sure it was not from Early Acess, since he was Dragonborn Monk.

From a meta standpoint, if you kill Astarion, aren't you kinda forced to make Tav a rogue?
Nah ... as others said, Shadowheart have lots of Dexterity ... and you can respec.
Also, there is Ranger hireling, Rogue hireling and Bard hireling ... and 10 more hirelings that can be either. xD

P.S. And speaking of the dagger on Astarion's hand, I have to admit I struggle to understand Larian's idea behind making most weapons comically oversized.
Not just weapons.

I was quite happy when i have heared that as you use Gale's flute to ressurect him, it becomes regular instrumet you can play ...
Until i find out that it become that HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE flute you get from any other source.

Is it really too much to want a flute for my Gnome that wouldnt be longer than her own spine, Larian?

Is it?
