I would however like to see story beats addressed and they really should stop listening to the overly vocal thirst crowd. The discussions after every new kiss animation are ridiculous.
I agree with this as well. Like focusing an entire update around kissing animations was a disappointment. I just hope that Patch 5 wasn't the end of major changes to the game. I think to an extent Larian is more interested in appealing to the vocal twitter crowd that celebrated the Halsin romance scene reveal. As opposed to the community that has been patiently waiting for the things they promised and haven't yet come to fruition.
