If you think about it, Durge should go to sleep every night wondering if they'll wake up standing over a fresh corpse again. At least Astarion is always willing to tie them up.

Also, I find it really funny how noone, especially the vampire, wakes up during the Act 1 incident. You'd think Astarion would smell the blood.

Yeah, actually, tying Durge up every evening should be a fun little ritual of theirs. wink The Act 1 incident always needs a lot of suspension of disbelief with it happening right next to everyone. I always headcanon that he does wake up, but just shrugs and turns around again, ha ha. Also, the morning after talk if you have Astarion as the only companion in camp is hilarious.

If you romanced Astarion as I did it feels even worse, you just stand there and do nothing when you should be there for him in that moment. If they want to keep it so he is running away/hiding from the sun, you should have the option to follow and help him find shade, chase after him, or find him later, especially if you romanced him! Or change the scene all together and have him leave before he burns up and explain where he is going and catch up later.

The scene “romance” afterwards is pretty lack luster for good Astarion as well. After they have the convo they could hug, cuddle, kiss or something! Or be sitting and holding each other while they have the convo, something!!

I wrote in another thread that one quick fix could be that the after docks romance dialogue could be placed by the crates he took shelter behind. It would indicate that Tav actually ran after him and kept him company until sunset. Both cuddled up next to each other (we know those animations are in the game) would also feel more intimate. This does not fix the scene for the people who were on a friendship path though.
