Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Astarion's greetings for Tav not updating after Araj [Act 2 spoilers]

Hi All,

Anyone who has romanced Astarion might have noticed, that if Tav doesn't get the confession scene before entering MRT and speaking with Araj, they will instead get the scene afterwards, btu morphed into the "thank you" scene as it were (IF Tav doesn't force him to drink Araj's blood of course). As the game is now, what this thank you scene also does, is it upgrades Astarion's greetings to two new, otherwise NOT THERE ones, namely "Gods, you're beautiful" or "What do you want to talk about, my dear?" (the latter is not verbatim, can't recall the exact words).

The problem is, that IF Tav got the original confession scene before speaking with Araj, there is NO separate thank you scene afterwards, no asknowledgement of the event at all for that matter. And what follows, is that the greetings DO NOT update, either. In my main playthrough I decided to stick with the original confession scene as I found it more impactful, thinking the greetings would just update at a later date. Alas, I'm already in Act 3 and still stuck on the same very high/exceptional greetings from way before.

I originally posted this on reddit and saw others having this problem as well. I sent a bug report to Larian as well. What I'm wondering about is whether the original scene not triggering the greetings change is the bug, or if there was supposed to be a separate scene after Araj (with confession scene already done beforehand) that just doesn't trigger for some reason and so the following greetings change doesn't happen either?

Has anyone else here experienced this as well? Or perhaps the greetings got updated for you somewhere further along in Act 3? (I myself have literally just got into Lower City on my main playthrough).

Thanks!
