BG3 Patch 5 Spoilers
WARNING: BG3 SPOILERS AHEAD!
New content from the ending scene of BG3. This is all from the perspective of a redeemed Dark Urge who romanced Shadowheart and Halsin, and recruited every "good" ally possible.
people at the party: all your companions, scratch, owlbear, volo, and a bard in the middle playing a song (his name is milil)
lae'zel is the only one who isn't here physically, she sent an astral projection instead because she's been busy fighting vlaakith
astarion explains why he ran away (ashamed) when the sunlight hit him, he's become a "hero" who adventures and has accepted himself
(romanced halsin) you can hug halsin, he's missed his friends and you. you can do both the hug and the kiss, it's really sweet. he's turned the shadowlands into a community, repursing reithwin and moonrise towers into homes for people
jaheira's daughter rejoined the flaming fist, she's been working on rebuilding the harper network. the upper city was entirely destroyed by the battle but has been mostly rebuilt. she jokes that you might be a parent soon
wyll gives you a choice between three stories, a stegosaur/dinosaur battle, an impossible lich, or a young dragon. he lost his warlock powers but has been managing the best he can, and has become a RANGER ("a true hunter of monsters"). duke ravengard is commanding the flaming fist and help rebuilding the city, and he's very proud of his son
minsc and boo guard the streets while jaheira is "occupied with harperish manners". they "went to give a tickle" to the zhentarim, then got locked up in a zhentish cell, awaiting execution? idk if i'm reading incorrectly but he seems to be implying that he actually GOT executed but withers brought him back just in time lmfao
gale has become "professor gale dekarios of blackstaff academy, educator of the esteemed school of illusion". tara is with him. he surrended the crown of karsus to mystra, who cured him of the orb in exchange (his tattoo is gone), though his students still think he's explosive (he implies that he uses it as a threat to keep his class under control). he tells his students about your adventures together. he also implies you're welcome to visit his tower
shadowheart (main romance) - the game told me that we settled down together to live a happy, peaceful life on a farm in the countryside. shar still hurts her (if parents are saved), especially when she can sense that SH is enjoying herself, but it's been getting less frequent because she's been "losing interest". there's a new hug and kiss scene for her too, so i'm assuming this is for ALL companions and not just halsin/SH/whoever
withers will speak to you about karlach, explaining that she won't be able to come back. he jokes about her, which is rare for him, and you're given to opportunity to grieve her loss. in "a dozen tendays" (assumedly how long bg3 is), "an entire life was lived, she lived several centuries" (not exact quote).
milil, the bard playing in the center, does NOT want to be there. he's pissed that no one recognizes him (he's pissed specifically that i'm a bard and don't recognize him), i had to pass a deception check to recognize him and he cheered up and offered to change the song he's playing
there's a chest called "Chest of Grateful Words" filled with letters from your allies!
"Official Guild Letter"
"Letter from Barcus"
"Letter from Art"
"Letter from Valeria"
"Letter from Ravengard"
"Letter from Sebastian"
"Letter from Florrick"
"Letter from the Gur" (unascended Astarion)
"Letter from Alfira" (durge, killed quil grootslang)
"Letter from Dammon"
"Letter from Elminster"
"Letter from Nocturne"
"Letter from Voss"
"Letter from Hope"
"Letter from Mayrina"
"Letter from Nine-Fingers"
"Letter from Zevlor"
"Harp-stamped Letter"
Baldur's Mouth Gazette
If you find anything interesting I missed, please let me know.

How each companion would gift you their Valentine's card (assuming it's just a cheesy little card, no gift involved, before the end of their quests):
Astarion: Hands it to you personally, waits for an adequate amount of praise before he gives you a 'you're welcome' and a fanged grin.
Gale: The card is an illusion, delivered to you by a mage hand. It's quite lovely, and Gale explains in great detail how he crafted it.
Karlach: Tries to hand deliver it, paper catches fire when she gets too excited. It's the thought that counts.
Lae'zel: Considers hand delivering a card, but she doesn't care for istik paper. Finds a rock as close to a Githyanki Slate as possible and practically bonks you with it.
Shadowheart: Leaves it on your pillow for you to find, but only after debating your pack or your hand, and ultimately decides this is the only way to stay in line with Shar's teachings.
Wyll: Puts the most thought into this by far. Depending on your preferences, he may get Scratch to deliver it, may get Gale to help with a Skywrite, or simply hand it to you with a bashful smile.
Bonus people:
Halsin: Will either engrave a heartfelt message on a piece of wood and hand deliver it or, if you know speak with animals, ask an appropriately adorable animal for assistance in delivering a letter.
Minthara: Doesn't believe in cards, but for you she would verbally deliver any amount of romantic prose.
Alfira: Will sing you a Valentine's message, blushing all the while.
Barcus: Would say neither of you deserve the awkwardness of a Valentine. Will instead give you a plain piece of paper that just says, 'Thanks.'
