Yeah, so I checked my epilogues and that 'new kiss cutscene' and... well, spawn Astarion epilogues are entirely borked, dunno how it is for ascended, but spawn is just a bunch of black blocks and the cutscene won't play normally - gotta press space bar or right mouse button. Also, the 'new' Karlach epilogue is also broken (sent her with Wyll), it will play but hang up and you gotta space bar or right click to get it going, otherwise it freezes. Spawn Astarion is also broken on both my saves - Tav and good Durge. Tav had Karlach turn into a mind flayer so yeah. I wonder if Larian will fix these epilogues before I get to end game on my current run. Also, I am saving my saves in case of getting those 'promised' updated epilogues eventually. In hopes of them being compatible with old saves.
Oh and that new kiss is nice, still too short but nice, what isn't nice is that that cutscene also gets the infamous '(continue)' and some of his lines (and there are some new ones) won't play audio. Heck even a bunch of old ones cut audio now.
So yeah, classic - one step forward and 5 backwards. It's nice that our current endgame party set up sort of influences who speaks at the docks but eh, it would be nice if a bunch of other cutscenes didn't break. Astarion still runs away but at least now if the people I bring to the Netherbrain are of more gentle nature, so yeah, as long as I don't take Minsc or Gale with me I am gonna be gucci.
Still, dropping a cloak and running after Astarion and waiting the time until sunset out behind the crates with him would've been preferred but at least this is a very small step in the right direction.
PS: I forgot to mention, I don't use mods. At all. Call me mod phobic if you want, or mod-sist.
