I wonder why there are two options for getting recognition in the game, and they are not connected to each other (if they were connected and you had to pass both scenes and get recognition after passing the last of them, as if for both deeds, it would be understandable)? Is the Yurgir variant an earlier version?
I have an answer for this one- the Yurgir version (which used to not be related to Yurgir at all, but just high approval, triggering once you slept after reaching Moonrise Towers) was made as a failsafe. Basically, they made that scene just in case you missed Araj, so you wouldn't be locked out of the Astarion romance. The Araj version is the one that was intended as the main one. It does surprise me, because I similarly think the Yurgir version is better, but I'm biased because it's also the one I found first. There are things about the Araj version I prefer, though. And I know people who say the Araj version is better, so it's a matter of taste.
That reminds me that a while ago I reported to Larian that it's weird that if you had had the Yurgir confession already, you can make Astarion bite Araj with no consequences, and they told me they were aware of this problem and working on it. Could it be in Patch 7?
