Yes, sometimes they treat his character as if they don´t like him at all. Mintahara gets new romance lines apparently, since the actress was called and I´m not even talking about her "romance scene" from every angle. And now they take even the last hot scene with him away from us. I don´t understand it. His charater could be so much better with just a few adjusments, but I doubt they will do it. It makes me so sad.
Astarion was the most hyped companion during early access, heck they even made a special video with him (Only Fangs) for April Fool's Day. He's also the most prominent character in the launch party animatic. They showed the statistic with 100K people getting rejected by him during their gameplay as well. Right after the game's release he got pushed to the side and major patches break his romance. Sad times.
