I saw the Gale and Astarion animation, yeah. I see what you mean about Gale being the one who’s degraded. The kiss appears to be receiving a mostly positive reception, though… Hopefully that’s ascended Astarion like most people think. I did not like the Shadowheart one honestly. But I’m hoping that it is the Dark Justiciar version. It gives off those vibes.
Not really liking any of these reveals so far but social medias are going nuts for them. I was looking forward to the Shadowheart ones, but the one they showed looks weird. Hopefully there will be more than just one new kiss (imagine if she does this now when you say "kiss me like you hate me" in Grymforge or every time in camp...)
It kind of fits a trickery domain/misdirection Shadowheart, but both her Selune and Shar romance scenes and epilogues have better already.
