I have the same playthrough started lol. So for now Astarion stays in Act 1, waiting for Minthara to be fixed.
I hope they do something about her content by the time I finish act 1, but if they don't I'm going to do the same.
If they implement the choice between Minthara and Halsin then it would be nice if he could at least be convinced to stay at camp to do the Thaniel quest to lift the curse before he gets the boot.
