Also, if my memory serves me right, Jaheira was in BG2 and was around for a curing of vampirism via Bodhis black heart. Theres a lore friendly way to improve this!
As a matter of fact, she might literally be the person who was cured of vampirism! I had forgotten about this, but if we take the approach that the most popular path is the quasi-canon path, Jaheira was turned into a vampire by Bodhi and cured by the player character. Even if she wasn't, she almost certainly knows that it happened to someone else in the group. You can write Astarion's quest the way they wrote it, and you can put Jaheira in the game, but you can't do both. This is a pretty flagrant mistake.

This idea that companion endings could be expanded on in DLC doesn't make a lot of sense to me, because Larian would be releasing content that would only apply to certain playthroughs. Anyone who did the evil Astarion path, for instance, would have no use for a DLC about curing his vampirism. Anyone who let Karlach die or sent her to Avernus alone would have no use for a DLC about fixing her engine. Ultimately I think the only way that DLC can get Larian out of these endings is by taking the Fallout 3 approach, where the DLC literally changes the ending of the game so that it's no longer the end of the game and you have some new stuff to do.
