I'm gathering that Ascended Astarion has 3 new kiss animations that seem to err onto the side of sadomasochism, read a post on discord about it and looked them up on utube and 2 of them seem a bit that way, but I have just started a new game so have a while to go before getting to that point. Seems a bit unnecessary to me and I hope its not as bad as that when I see them in game. Still think someone at Larian really doesn't like Astarion, ascended or otherwise.
Yes the kiss animations are SM, with the emphasis on S for Astarion. Because Tav's disgusted face at the end tells us that Tav is not into it and not a masochist, but more of a victim of abuse. Ascended Astarion's character isn't particularly coherent. If he is so abusive with the kisses and Tav is disgusted, his sex scene should have been at least rape.
