Personally, I'm not hurt, but I did talk to people who are and I sympathise with them and want them to feel validated when they post here or even just read the comments. I myself am bemused, tired, annoyed and disappointed that Larian is clearly undecided how to write Astarion, slights the evil romances, and we end up with contradictions and errors each patch. I'm also fed up with seeing "Ascended Astarion is an abuser and should be presented that way" being thrown around wherever I go (which is a result of this patch). I just want to have a nice dark fantasy romance, because there is no one else in the game who can give it to me. I also want to romance Minthara as Ascended Astarion (because they're a match made in Hells) but her romance is broken and unfinished. My first reaction when I saw Tav's animations was "WTF, that's supposed to be my Tav?! Who is that person?" The kisses are so absurd to me I just can't help but make fun of them. I think I'll do some more work in Paint. I'm trying to take this in a humourous way.
