Even Minthara can be hugged. Men are "things" in Drow culture. Lord Astarion - You can't get a hug, can't get a kiss in the epilogue, now - if you can only get on your knees on random with a disgruntled face. It's a line of attitude.
There's a Cazador on Larian's team somewhere. Definitely. And now he's deciding what kind of treatment Astarion deserves.

Confused? I mean, why create an option that you can't choose? Well, sort of officially you can, but you'll be immediately shown for who you are. I don't feel "confused", I feel pissed as hell to be honest. Violence is in the game. So we don't get " confused."

O my god, outstanding, just outstanding this voice action. You can sense so much pain and bitterness. You feel broken by yourself, just listening to it.
Yeah, the voice acting is just heartbreaking... Astarion deserves so much better than all of this. I wonder if there could ever be a scene with appropriate lines for someone who helped him ascended and never cheated?

We should also all keep messaging Larian about these things, perhaps write an open letter like the modding community has done?
That's a very good idea. Totally support it. I think an open letter is a better option than just reviews that Larian themselves read/not read. At the end of the day, players have a say too, we have a right to a playable game, especially after we've already bought it.

Most Ascension fans have been abstaining from any media in general, and are just silent. So I'm supposing the number of dissatisfied (especially face) more.
Sure. Friends, if anyone just reads this thread and has an opinion they'd like to express, do it! The more of us there are, the better chance we'll be noticed and we'll be able to play BG3 instead of abandoning the game because it's now become a "Cazador project".
