I do love that Tav finally gets the option to ask if he wants anything, though. His answer to that is perfect, and feels like exactly how he would have responded if Tav could have asked prior (for example, during the conversation before being turned).
This seemed like the least interesting thing to say to him, considering I enjoyed the chat and didn't want to tell him I was going away already. That answer is perfect indeed, though! He just has to say the best thing to make you not want to leave, haha.
Now that I finally saw one vid with romanced Wyll, I made a summary of interactions with romanced companions in the epilogue party (feel free to add things if I missed something):
Minthara - can be kissed twice (the second kiss is more passionate), you can tell her you love her (humanoid and MF Tav) Selunite Shadowheart - can be hugged and kissed, she will insist on the kiss if you try to leave early (humanoid and MF Tav), can adopt the owlbear Sharran Shadowheart - can be hugged and kissed twice (humanoid and MF Tav) Human Gale - can be kissed and will tell you he loves you (humanoid and MF Tav) God Gale - takes you to heaven, kisses you and makes you a Goddess/God, kisses you when saying goodbye if you refuse to go with him Karlach - can be kissed (also if you or her are a MF) Halsin - can be hugged and kissed twice (humanoid and MF Tav), can adopt the owlbear Lae'zel in Faerun - can be kissed, you can tell her you love her, she will adopt the boy hatched from the githyanki egg with you and talk about him Lae'zel in the Astral - can be hugged and will call you 'my love' which, coming from her is a big deal Wyll - tells you he loves you and tosses a kiss your way (still waiting for MF Tav videos to confirm they stay together) Spawn Astarion - can be hugged Ascended Astarion - ...
Honestly, why does Astarion have so little content in comparison? And Ascendant nothing at all? This is the type of behaviour I expected from AA:
As it is right now, Tav has no option to tell Ascended Astarion 'I love you' throughout the entire game and we have zero romantic gestures in the epilogue. #JusticeforAscendedAstarion!
Yes, I'm just convinced they hate this version of the character. Why add two development options at all if you hate it so much. Awful...
Writers hate him and automatically assume that we should hate him too or he should be unpleasant because he's a "narcissistic asshole" and all that.
I think writers in this case do not like to write evil at all, because even in Durge preview, the introduction is "I have to get rid of dark impulses", and not "I have to figure this out" or "accept dark impulses". That is, the game automatically directs you to "fix" something. I have a lot of problems with any evil and morally questionable action in the game. The fact that evil players were deprived of content and were not given variably evil endings (for example rule with Gortash) shows.
In early access, I expected Astarion to be some kind of villain who would burn down cities for you. But they did everything completely differently and presented it as "not freedom." Although we have Minthara, she doesn't have any content at all, and I'm not interested in female characters as a love interest. So we only have one evil male companion and that's what we get. (apart from the bulling by spawn fans) Like, I don't want to fix villains and turn them into the likeness of heroes. I want my characters to be evil couples! When they burn the world down for each other. Is it really that difficult?
