We know it's not *healthy*, we don't want tooth-rotting fluff with AA, we want "Dark Romance." Obsessive, possessive, passionate. And it feels like instead of letting us explore and roleplay a Dark Romance in a safe environment, we now are being forced to simulate intimate partner violence. Like wtf?
Exactly, I think a lot of people are judging us for the wrong reasons. We don't want to change Astarion we just want to change how we/our character feel about the kisses, that's all. I always knew that by accepting the ritual he would become an evil vampire lord and I'm fine with that. It's a roleplaying game, let me enjoy it!
But as much as I would like to change the expressions I don't think they are going to do it...we are a minority. I'm thinking about it carefully and I'm sure Larian wants to make it clear our character is being abused. It doesn't matter if you like AA, the goal is to make you feel like you've made a mistake and realizing this makes me so sad that I can no longer enjoy my evil path if I'm romancing him (or maybe the solution is just to ignore my Durge's sad face) I don't like to complain and bother Larian about something secondary like kisses, I can see all the work and effort they are doing to improve this game but for the first time I have found myself needing to send feedback because I have felt bad about something that was supposed to be good for all fans...Idk. At least it's nice to know I'm not alone in this matter.

Surely they are going to add new kisses for him and hopefully they'll also add a special one before the final battle. I'm positive about Spawn Astarion and I'm sure he will get more love

Why?
100% that's how I roleplay with my Durge. Let her enjoy AA kisses!
