No, why should I? (Unless you mean the very moment of the dock scene.) He is a big boy.
Ok, maybe I just love him too much Perception, of course, depends a lot on the temperament of the perceiver.

Yeah. I actually enjoyed developing him more as an Assassin. He likes when "his hands are covered in blood" and enjoys fighting, judging by his lines. By the way, it works out really great if you take Astarion's medium armor skill (you can buy medium armor in Baldur, which allows you to add a dexterity bonus to AC). As a result, he really becomes my defender with AC 25 (more than my Tav-tank), does whatever he wants on the battlefield and can make his "cut" even without any "run" already.

Yes, of course, you can and should work with problems, and you can build a life with limitations as well. It's just that when there is an opportunity to specifically "heal" the problem, to get rid of it, I could never forgive myself if I missed such an opportunity for a loved one. I think that playing as a character with his own history and personality (as you played as Gale) allows you to "distance" yourself more from what is happening and look "from the outside" as a story of two, while "immersing yourself in the game" and creating an "alter ego" immerses you more "inside" the situation and perception becomes more subjective and emotional (depending on the emotionality of the player, of course), problems are let "through" and it is impossible to "accept" something, especially considering that Tav has too many opportunities and powers not to "do everything as it should be done".

To feel fear all day long is, of course, a very difficult state for a person. I did not mean "to be afraid all the time", but to logically calculate possible dangers, prevent them if possible, pay attention to them, and then let yourself relax and "live life". And the opposite situation can arise - when you know about your vulnerabilities, do nothing about it, and just because of this there is a feeling of constant threat, "dangerous world", when you do not know where and when the threat will come from. But you take all possible measures - and vice versa, now we can enjoy life and have fun (I had such a feeling after the Ascension of Astarion, complete relaxation, as if something inside "let go", the game world became sunny and comfortable again). And when I was walking around with the Spawn and imagining a possible future with him if nothing could be done about his condition, I had that "still feel scared all day long because they only think about what could go wrong" feeling, exactly as you described, and that it would haunt them quite regularly.
