By the way, there is no better motivator for evil than persistent propaganda of "good". Propaganda itself causes such disgust that a person automatically has the desire to do something to spite what they try to shove into him.

That's exactly what I've been feeling lately when I play.
I had recently started a new good playthrough where I wasn't going to ascend Astarion, but as I played, I felt weird, like the choices I was making were forced. My head is so full of other people's opinions and those of the developers, that I can no longer imagine the personality of my TAV: I can't create its own story following that of the game. I feel like I'm deprived of my imagination because if I think differently, then it's not good, I'm wrong... and maybe I even need to be punished.
All this made me lose the desire to play and these new kisses with AAstarion were the straw that broke the camel's back. If their intention was to make the players feel sick, they succeeded with me.
I completely lost the will to play, even with spawn Astarion.
The imposition is obvious... I would like not to think that the developers want to punish the players in some way, but I can't help but think so.

This is exactly how I feel after the patch, I don't feel like playing this game anymore or at least to romance Astarion again, I used to not be able to stay away from him even if I started a playthrough with the intent of romancing another character but I always ended up with Astarion lol, now the writers made sure to make me see him in another light weird as that sounds for a video game character but honestly we do get attached to these characters and that's the whole point I think, we get invested.
