Example: Tell Maryzora that Tav/DU only has sex if HE says it before Tav has a chance to answer. And him putting down Maryzora.

These would be nice to see.

And if after Cazador, Astarion had another personal quest that allow him to get closure or settle more into his new path (ascended or spawn), that would make the romance or character arc work better.

I'd love to be able to give him a gift and ask about his wellbeing. I also felt like he was missing a scene after the conclusion to his quest. I really wish they'd add an extra scene for all LIs before you go to the point of no return.

It's no longer possible to dominate Minthara. You can only do that in Lae'zel's scene.
