They were perfect in EA. I was so happy to have companions that don't take shit from me, especially Astarion and Lae'zel.
Indeed, meanwhile fixing shit that has been bugged and broken for months hasn't been high on their list apparently.
1. Durge can't even talk to Balthazar, it's been going on for months now. The cutscene just abruptly ends after Balthazar's first sentence and the only way to talk to him and possibly attack him via dialogue is using other companions for that OR using disguise self.
2. Then there is the Shadowfell bug when you are playing as a cleric of Selune and use the: spare Nightsong special Selunite option. Shadowheart just summons the spear and charges Ailyn anyway. She does that on both Selunite options btw, when she's only clearly supposed to do it only on one of 'em. But nope, let's not fix that, instead let's make it so Gale doesn't need to satisfy his munchies anymore... even though that entirely breaks his story arc...
Also, I reported both of the mentioned bugs... hmmm, 3 months ago? So yeah, nice priorities there!
