I'll tackle individual posts when I have more time. For now I'd like to repost my improved image I've originally uploaded on page 17 (I've deleted that one since I can't edit my post anymore). I did this to demonstrate how nonsensical this change is and to ridicule it. Sorry for the large images but I want this post to be very visible.

Larian, Astarion won a couple of awards and has been the face of your promotional material from the beginning.

This is Neil Newbon's beautiful and emotional speech that shows how important this character and game has been to us:

I'll quote his words: "Your community has felt seen, represented by this game when they lost hope, they felt isolated, they felt alone and this game brought them together and gave them something to push through to help them all."

Many people love Astarion so much, because they see themselves in him (myself included), romancing him has helped them deal with their personal traumas, gave them comfort, helped them love themselves more and by giving Astarion everything in a way we gave ourselves everything. We received justice that we might have been denied in real life.

Please don't ruin him now with the inconsistencies, questionable replacements, bring back his Early Access scenes, stop taking away the agency of the player. We paid for this game months ago and enjoyed a lovely dark romance. We want to see it improved, not destroyed. You are doing him and everyone who loves him a disservice by turning him into an abuser.
