This part could have been indeed fleshed out a little better. Oh, that you mention it, I would really have liked to see tears on my Tavs face, just once, how cute it would have looked on him. I love to see Tavs reactions and facial expressions.
Yeah, that would make the character even more alive. Unless it's probably technically difficult.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the message. The forum is crashing a lot today (at least for me), it's all "bad gateway", maybe that's why. I will try to write to you too, maybe it will work.

This scene is very heavy. And as I began to realize how wrong I was and where this was all leading, this scene "connected" with all the consequences of that choice. Astarion's heartbreaking tears in the beginning - his pain and humiliation in the dock scene at the end. And in between, sort of, "romance." I'm afraid that the words and expressions that could most accurately convey my attitude to such a "romantic story" are clearly inadmissible for use on the forum.

I'm really glad I spoilered that scene rather than getting into it. For me, too, that scene (and of course the very fact that there is no healing), was originally the main motivation to help Astarion ascended. But now I like my cute Lord with pointy ears so much that even if the Larians fix that scene, I'll still only play it that way. Unless they suddenly work out the option with full healing, it would be interesting to go through with that one (but that seems almost unbelievable to me, not even worth waiting for).
