That's really nice!

I could imagine a lot of people will throw ascended Astarion away now when only abusive and toxic kisses are left now.

A shame, but since we got 3 new ones I can live with that change. They really do look displeased. I guess they're a good match now with Astarion grimacing when proposing sex for the first time and Tav after being kissed. eek

Spawn Astarion new kiss:



Kind of sucks that he only got 1 new kiss.


The epilogue is also modified now:

Ascendant:



Spawn:



I managed to load up my game now and I saw that Ascended Astarion had new animations in the party epilogue. They triggered twice but now I keep getting the old ones only. Sadly, he still cannot be kissed.

The last kiss before the end is no longer the chaste peck but the new bitey one for Ascended Astarion.

The new kisses are available immediately as soon as Astarion ascends and not after being turned into his spawn, which is not right because Tav is asked to kneel before the actual kneeling scene. That one should only be available after turning into a vampire.

Also, once again the ascended romance scene was tampered with. The spiciest part was shortened, the shot of the fireplace and Tav and Astarion standing removed. Is this a tradition now that every big patch something has to be changed for the worse in that scene?
