To be honest, at this point, I won't be amazed if the next patch will mess up UA romance too. They gave him his fake smile or the "grinch face" as I see people call it in the new epilogue, instead of a genuinely happy expression as well. Why animate him this way when he has a perfectly content face in freecam footage before Tav wakes up? Maybe the preaching will be taken to the next level and we'll be "taught" that romancing Astarion was something we should never have done.
