Interestingly patch 3 reshuffled his 'You are incredible' confession, so you are more likely to get the one he thanks you for letting him avoid munching on Araj (unless you go out of your way to not speak to her until you have dealt with Yurgir, or talk to her without Astarion around so you can at least try to buy some things), quite interesting that Larian has decided to bind 'you are incredible' confession to killing Yurgir for Raphael. Sure, makes sense I guess.
Makes sense, but also makes it even easier to get the Araj one instead, and that one just doesn't flow well. It feels like it should be two different conversations.

That's one of my most favorite convos in the game, especially his response to saying that Cazador broke him.
That's what I thought as well, all they have to do is split the cutscene in two. One spontaneous confession for high approval and the short "thank you" after meeting the drow. And leave the full "thank you" cutscene as it is for low approval after meeting Araj.
I always do Casadors palace last right before taking out the last chosen. Otherwise I have NO incentive to continue playing act 3. There is so little interaction with Astarion in act 3 (but I hear that all companions are very quiet in act 3, so it could be a much bigger problem than just Astarion), and unless I ascend him I cannot stomach the crappy ending, so I just quit afterwards.
