I do have to ask though, because it puzzled me: What's goofy about the graveyard scene - or Astarion in it?
There's a glance at Tav right before Astarion goes to add a new date to the gravestone that read as a little goofy to me. Not the entire scene, just that few seconds. The line is "I should probably fix this," and it's just the slightest change in tone.
I'm not sure if "goofy" is exactly the right word because it's such a subtle change, but I'm not sure what other word to use to describe it.
I would have called it "conspiratorial" after all you are indulging in a spot of vandalism and symbolic necromancy during the scene.
And that might be a personal thing, but to me Astarion seems mostly more relaxed after the graveyard. He can talk about Caz without snarling his name and you can ask him harder questions without him becoming defensive as a result. I like how this is also reflected in his romantic greetings, which become less flirty and extra after the Act 3 scene. I took it as a sign, that he knows the song and dance is no longer necessary because he trust the pc to stick around, and as a result, I am quite fond of it.
