Astarion can't talk to Raphael? (lemmy.world)

In my first playthrough he was able to talk to Raphael outside of the Gauntlet of Shar. This time Raphael just left without ever giving Astarion a chance to ask any questions. So, I reloaded a save, did the whole House of Healing fight again, made sure to have Astarion selected when we approached the Gauntlet, and it auto switched to my character when the conversation started and he left again. Have they changed this sequence? Is it bugged? Do only certain dialogue choices give you a chance to barter?

they changed which character gets priority in dialogue in some patch a while a go.

what normally works is to split your party and park your own character somewhere behind your party.

Why is that necessary though? Astarion used to just speak up and we had a chance to barter. Have they changed it completely, or is it bugged?

with the old system it sonetimes happened that a seemingly random companion was selected for important story moments.

but the new system defaulting to the players "main" character is not perfect either obviously.

I remember Astarion speaking up at that point even if my Tav was doing the talking. Astarion doesn't have to be that main talker at that point.
