Gods, yes, I liked it way more, the way it was.
I had a scene where Astarion was facing the wrong direction alltogether, which has to be a bug.
It was the scene where he tries to study his scars. Instead of facing away from Tav, they were face to face. So when Tav spoke and startled him, he spun around full 180 before glancing over his shoulder.
Additionally, his teeth are looking dark and weird starting in the middle of that scene. Super creepy.
