Yup,his camp animation is odd. Who stands to read a book when there is a perfectly good stool right next to him? Given how he is I would expect him to be lounging on those cushions with the book and a glass of 'something'.
Patch 4 playthrough from new start and so far I haven't had any animation issues with him that wern't already present but not got to the end battle. But I did get the 'you're incredible' convo by
doing the shar place in small stages starting with Balth and Yurgir, exiting and a long rest at Last Light (Raphael appeared),
then doing the gauntlet and exiting before going into the pool, going to Last Light and calling a long rest after that fired it up at the go to bed.
Thats from avoiding Moonrise apart from releasing the prisoners by entering from the prison dock door and avoiding main hall entrance entirely, Not sure which particular aspect of it kicked that convo into priority probably the 2 long rests BUT it might have been that I killed Yurgir outright rather than talking him into killing himself. I realised that in my own playthroughs when I had had the you're incredible convo before it was when I killed Yurgir and when that convo didn't fire in my game it was when I'd done something else,
so make of that what you will as doubtless other factors enter in as well.

Still not ovely impressed with the kissing, at the very least he should occasionally offer more than a chaste peck, its better than it was if you think kissing m forehead is better of course but really Larian, you could do so much better.

Still no intention of finishing the final battle ever again until they fix his dock scene or do something with the damn ending that is better than what we have.
