They're going to change what the companions say when he starts burning so they're more sympathetic. Also the narrator will end the event on a more ...positive? note, saying he will "find comfort in the darkness". To me it's a band-aid fix and doesn't fix the real issue with the scene, that it's rushing through the event like nothing.

The new lines are almost OOC in how meta or therapist-speech-like they are. They feel so... awkward, staged. There needs to be a middle point. Gale has gone from being the worst offender (his original line was bonkers) to having IMO another bonkers line in the opposite direction.
"Gale: Astarion! Cured of one affliction, only to be reclaimed by another. The sun is no longer a friend to him, but we must be - he'll need more solace than shadows can provide."

Minthara also goes on a whole schpiel, when she's always criticised him for not ascending:

"Nightwarden Minthara: Astarion is cursed to flee the sun as I am cursed to walk in it. Do not belittle him with pity - he is a survivor, and will thrive upon what bounty the darkness provides. There is life in him yet."
