To me the only things that are unacceptable in the kisses are Tav's facial expressions and body language. Tav should look happy and actually touch him instead of standing there with clenched fists. I love the dominant, cheeky behaviour of Astarion, his promo smirk and the smug faces, that's how a confident Vampire Lord should act. He is perfect the way he is, only Tav is acting OOC and it ruins everything!
How I'd like AA kisses to be improved:
1. Tav's facial expressions and body language should be that of a joyous, passionate lover, not a mortified victim.
2. When we ask about the relationship, there should be two options:
a) Kiss me gently. b) Kiss me roughly.
Contrary to what's being asked in that survery I don't want it to be dependent on the choice made during the romance scene and to be locked into one thing. Sometimes my Tav may feel like doing it this way or another. The more options the better!
3. Astarion could first verbally ask Tav to kneel and they can say they'd rather move it to a more private place. That kiss would trigger the next time he's asked for one.
4. Give him a unique end of the world kiss. I'm looking at you, Gale!
5. I want to be able to kiss him in the epilogue after he says that power is nothing without my Tav.
Another pic to ridicule this patch:
That's why I suggested those options in my thread https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=935975#Post935975 I created some time ago, thank you for bringing it up here, cause I sincerely think it would be the best option, just like in his third scene in Act 3 where you get to choose that way and both Astarion fans would get to be happy.
I also agree about the face expressions of Tav being just about the only bad thing in patch 6 with the exception of Astarion slightly slapping her in one of the kisses and then shaking his head with a very disgusted look in his face like he thinks "look at you, you're disgusting, such a low life nothing".
