I hope it's ok to ask something even though I don't have access to the beta. A while back, there was a video on yt with datamined companion reactions to Spawn-Astarion burning up at the dock. I wonder if anyone can tell me if those are the ones now included because Minthara's very emphatic reaction seemed odd to me.
Many of my saves are with Avatar-Spawn-Astarion, so I am most familiar with the comments he gets when the sun starts burning him, and I think those are pretty much perfect. They are worried and caring but in a way that is reflective of the companions' personalities - Shadowheart and Wyll are mostly worried, while Gale is more chill and emphasises the community aspect of finding a safe spot together. From what I have seen on yt, the new remarks the gang makes about Companion-Astarion in his time of distress are a bit more over the top but that's ok I guess.
Minthara threw me off though. She absolutely roasts you, when you have to run from the sun as Avatar-Astarion because she thinks staying a spawn was stupid and so she makes fun of you, both while you burn up and during the epilogue party - and I think that is great because it's very in line with her character. Hearing her relate to Companion-Astarion with compassion and without an element of the situation being his own (or the PC's) fault, was just a bit weird. But maybe that's just my impression.
