I was just reading a post on the discord feedback referencing Minthara. A player has pointed out that Minthara has also been character assasinated and done a 180 in the latest hotfix.
Lae'zel was also slightly changed in patch 6 and people on reddit are not very happy about this. Her changes: now Lae'zel is okay to be in a relationship with a mindflayer. No one asked for this and her fans agree that this is a complete OOC
This was already a thing in patch 5, I also posted about it and was surprised she was ok with it. Fortunately Astarion still has standards.
Well, in the 6th patch, Astarion invites the mind flayer to enter into an alliance, and in the epilogue a scene occurs, like in the romance with the ascended Astarion, I don’t know if this is a mistake. And if you want to eat Astarion’s brain, the narrator says that love comes from Astarion. I checked it myself. While the spawn of Astarion only feels friendship. So despite Tav's unpleasant appearance, Ascended Astarion loves Tav. Unless it's a patch bug.
