I thought I would suggest this because it's something that has come to my attention throughout playing the game. I know there are options within the game to hug your companions, in particular Karlach and Astarion, and when you're romancing a character you can have the dialogue option to ask "Can we talk about us?" and it gives some dialogue options about the relationship, ask to kiss them, or break-up. It would be cool if there was the option to hug them! I don't know how difficult that would be to implement given there are already animations with hugs created but it would be a nice moment of connection that's not constantly badgering your romance partner for a kiss.

Plus, for characters like Karlach and Astarion, it's an opportunity to have 'touch' be something soft, which I feel like they both need in their lives. Karlach, especially.

I don't know if this would be possible but figured it was worth the suggestion.

The game is amazing, more hugs would just be a cherry on top!

This is a suggestion I can get behind. The hugs are so tender and nice. It's actually something I liked about Elder Ring where you legit get free hugs from a certain npc. Hugging Karlach was so carthartic.

If anybody needs more hugs it's those two. Astarion didn't even know what a hug is.

Also, the act 2 dream guardian hug is hidden behind two checks of perception and insight. Better save scum.

I agree. Huggies should be an option too.

Astarion in particular desperately needs intimacy that's not about sex.
