Maybe it is wanted that way? Can't let every compainion being the same. Comparing Astarion and gale is like comparing apples and pears. I find Gale rather funny, but if you're into drama and the dark side of the game, you may better stick with Astarion instead of judging other companions.
How can a romance be more evil than Astarion's? If you want evil, if let him acends and become his spawn. I romanced all the male companions at least once each. So i can safely say. Astarion has the best written story already. I think the other companions need the improvement more than him.
What? No one is comparing Astarion and Gale. We were discussing the new Astarion kiss Larian showed with Gale as Tav. LiryFire has actually written several detailed posts about exploring the evil side of Ascended Astarion romance specifically.
Even if his story is the best, there are still things in it that should be there for logical and continuity reasons.

It would be a shame if they removed it, I hope it stays too. I wonder if they'll rotate them like his responses to the question about the relationship, or restrict them to locations to have a private and public kiss.
