I was also wishing for romance specific lines during combat and apparently they DO exist but they never triggered in my game! He only kept shouting 'get up gods damn you' when my Tav was downed I feel so salty after watching this:
And now I wonder how to trigger the start conversation because it's impossible to target Tav when selecting to interact with them as Astarion. I performed a test after patch 4 and he also has generic shouts when casting heals as a cleric and bard, no romantic tones. Does it only work during Astarion origin playthrough? Also, that 'maybe they like being restrained?' and 'you look good helpless' coupled with Loviatar's priest scene (especially the 'I had my hopes' line when talking to Shadowheart) and DU tying up remark. He obviously wants to get kinky with Tav but somehow only gets confident enough to do it as ascendant. Could we get an extra scene related to that in act 2 or 3 perhaps? :3
They are such cute lines, but I believe it´s only for the origin playtrough as Astarion, sadly, or they didn´t trigger correctly in my playthrougs.
And there should be a proper kiss available not just a peck. I cannot shake the feeling that they don´t like his character very much, as I mentioned before, since every other companion gets improved, get´s better romance scenes or better lines or just better kisses...maybe I´m just overthinking this lol, but I cannot shake the impression, since after every patch it only get´s worse for him.
