Again, Veranis was curious about my caveats. I didn't explain them at all originally. Your quote is me replying to Veranis.
Yes, and I'm still thankful for your replies. I think we had a good discussion on the topic (which was still Astarion and one of his romance paths). I am always interested to see where others are coming from when we discuss things and then we came to the conclusion that we agreed on most of the points. So, in that case it was me derailing the thread out of curiosity.
So, in the spirit of getting this thread back on track, before a Mod closes it: Everybody is agreeing that the facial animations are not okay and should be changed. There has been a lot of good arguments on why (narratively, because of rpg and because it's triggering). Speculating on why the developers chose to do it this way will not help our cause (and neither does getting this thread locked because of argueing).
