... I loved what they did with Astarion, so much that I couldn't get myself to romance anyone else in the game but with this new patch, as I've expressed so many times, I almost can't stand to look at him anymore
I feel very similar to you, I haven't picked the game up since I downloaded the patch.

I had exactly the same reaction. Looking at that terrified face, it felt like my Tav was no longer the character I created.
I've played over 800 hours, 300 of them during EA. I've left feedbeak in discord.... One is about Cazador and bringing back his role that was cut, and next is AAstarion (his kisses, Tav/Du's face, lack of neutral dialogue options for Tav/Du in the novel). ) Perhaps I was harsh when I added that I don’t like when in RPGs game impose their opinions on the player....but the fact is that they removed both fitbacks. In fact, after being disappointed with the release, I was sincerely excited for Patch 5.
But now, I'll just wait for them to finish this game, make one last run and if they don't change this course, I don't think I'll buy any more games from them.
