Well the only thing left for us to do is to make our point in every conceivable forum and on discord as frequently as feels reasonable and hope that Larian reconsider. If not well they are purportedly releasing modders tools and I have no doubt that some competent modder will manage to either replace these kiss animations with ones from the SA path, change the camera angles or iron out those dumb Tav facial fear ones. I've seen good modders manage such things for many years in every game I've played. I'm surprised they took this romance down this path if I'm honest. Even his Ascended route was still mainstream friendly to an extent. Much was implied to be a possibility but little was shown and it was left to the player to do the interpretation = good RPG. These new kisses and Tavs facial animations seem to me to be taking his route into a niche of either Sm or pure sadism - now nothing is left for the player to interpret = Bad RPG. Seems counter productive to do that in my eyes especially as it's upset a lot of otherwise loyal long term players who are Larians 'word of mouth' advertising.
In another thread - Posted by Mordred 92 a couple of days ago : For everyone who has a complaints about the new kisses of AAstarion or spawn Astarion, you can compile this survey! The results of the answers will then be sent to Larian Studios Here the link: http://t.ly/pnYBh
