People are justifiably upset and voice their concerns about the patch, even try to find reasons to understand why we got the changes we did. Jinetemoranco, if you want to argue so much whether Astarion is an abuser or not feel free to open a new thread about it in the discussion forums, because I feel like you're derailing this one now right now.
And I replied with my opinion of why I think they did that. And then I was asked about it being consistent with other instances in the game, so I replied. Also, again, they have their own team of animators and mo-cap actors (the body movement mostly comes from them, the animators just clean it up). These kisses are not an incredible feat in realism and animation, they're very within the standards of what we've seen in the game. It's an upset face. Very standard one at that for BG3. They don't need to outsource a top 3D porn animator for that. It's an unnecessary cost and effort when you already have the resources for that within the company, and for an extremely minor and trivial part of the game. That'd make more sense for the sex scenes if anything.
