I will first of all say this, Baldur's Gate 3 is the best game I've ever played. Full stop. Already back in EA I had no doubt that this game were to precede Witcher 3 from my dusty number 1 pedestal, once fully released. You could just see it. The passion and love Larian had - and continues to have - for BG3 is unmistakable. Larian has done an absolutely stunning job and I couldn't be more happy with them and their work. They deserve every bit of praise they're reciving and more.
With that being said...
I too would prefer if Larian altered that dock scene... Dare I say that it felt rather prompt and handled somewhat poorly? Not to mention the unsavoury lack of care to our Astarion. As many has mentioned here, it's fitting if you've had the poor sod lounging about in camp your whole playthrough but not otherwise - and absolutely not if you've romanced him. Thankfully, we will be getting a more fleshed out epilogue, we don't know when, but it is coming and I'm thankful for that.
Wouldn't it then be oh-so-fabulous to have a *very particular* cloak at hand for him? What i'm referring to is The Cloak of Dragomir.
https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Cloak_of_Dragomir A cloak that allows a vampire to travel outside during the day in full view of the sun. An item we could potentially run into in some way or another. Cazador's attic, perhaps? Food for thought.
Now, I'm also one of those who wished for the cure option in Astarion's arc... So if ever Larian bestows upon us a DLC - gods be willing - the cure is what I dearly wish to see implemented and on offer for our silly little vamp. Preferably connected to Upper City content ( Pretty please, Larian ).
