WARNING: This post may spoiler some things regarding one of the two major endings in act 3 with Astarion's quest.It was suggested to me on tumblr to post this here, I'm sorry if the post is a bit informal- I'm not familiar with using forums.
Feel free to add addition suggestions while discussing! I'm particularly interested what everyone else thought of this.
I have Some ingame peeves when you choose to become a vampire spawn in the ascended route. I would love them to be addressed in a future update if possible. Below are my issues and suggestions.
-interacting with mirrors implies voiced tav still has their reflection, ascended astarion still has no reflection if he interacts with mirrors. It would make sense if tavs mirror interaction dialogue was updated with something like "huh should've realized that would happen" and maybe give Astarion lines in reaction to that if he's standing near the player.
-there's no vampire teeth updated or added on your character model even though you can use vampire bite now. This made me sad. Just normal teeth... Please fix this?
-there's no unique interactions or dialogue with the companions towards you being a vampire spawn. The only time seem to be during the brothel foursome which I personally have no intention of doing in any of my playthroughs.
I would like act 3 to have some unique interactions at least- or reflect and acknowledge the player has chosen to become Astarion's spawn a bit more. Like maybe a comment on the player character looking cold, or having sharp teeth, or the option to tell them if they haven't been informed similar to astarion's origin run?
It's unclear wether or not the companions are aware of tav being turned at all even when you can bite people in front of them. It breaks immersion for me a little a bit.
-when encountering Araj in act 3 again, she has no unique dialogue for the player being a vampire, she would strike me as someone who would notice at least. And it would be funny, or make for potential new dialogue options which are choice-driven consequences based on if you have met her during act 2 and either chosen to make Astarion drink from her or told him he's his own person. This was my initial expectation during my first playthrough, and I was disappointed there was really little to no comment on the player being a spawn beyond dialogue with Astarion.
Final note: The player characters appearance not changing after the bite scene does not bother me except for the lack of vampire teethsies. After all, anyone can use magic mirror now to change their character whenever they wish, so you could make your character paler and give them red eyes afterwards if you want that. I would simply really love for there to be fangs...
