Are you telling me that my Tav not looking like a total dork have the time anymore came at the cost of Astarion's facial expressions? Damn.
You win some, you lose some. Though I would sacrifice my characters faces for Astarion's superior little frowns any day.
I sent feedback through Larian's Feedback/Bug Report form, about the Act 1 changes, because they bothered me so much and feel like such a downgrade from what I saw in Patch 3. I really recommend anyone who hasn't sent them feedback directly consider doing so.
I sent them some words about both Act 1 and Act 3 scenes lol. Because if they keep making changes in that direction soon we will have "here's some naked pixels" instead of "here's a scene that illustrates the character's personality and where they are in their story."
