I am very glad about the changes, all of them. Most of all that - as much as the PR team seems to be intent on putting Gale in uncomfortable positions - in game the writing puts a lot of effort in making the interactions between him and the PC loving and supportive, like you are each other's biggest fans and most trusted companions even when you disagree on a topic.
I do hope they change things for Shart too - or for the Ascended Astarion crowd, who currently feel somewhat dejected.
