The misinformation in this thread about early access and Stephen Rooney not writing both of Astarion's paths was pulled straight out of someone's butthole lmao
If you have a more accurate info that says otherwise feel free to link me. I'm open to change my opinion. But right now i'm more inclined to believe it bc after getting the spawn ending the two routes do feel like it's written with two different premises. And I think people have the right to be upset after playing the game with certain assumptions. I can bet there would be an outrage as well if Larian changed spawnstarion to be monogamous.
Also many people sexualized different characters. Take raphael for example, larian cheekily said he's a bottom and bad at sex yet his fans stull want him to be dom daddy. There are more smut of spawnstarion and some people have openly said they wanted to **** astarion in the *** so not sure why its only bad if AA fans sexualize the character? Countless mods to sexualize shadowheart on nexusmods as well. Halsin is objectified as well *shrugs* even tho his "true" fans do not like the sexualization if you read the forum complaints.
On topic, I honestly don't have a strong opinion about tav's face expressions but I just wanted to say I think it's unlikely they'll change it. The chin grab kiss was leaked before with Karlach origin and the face was smiling and now it's not so I guess it's final. Tbh I don't mind AAstarion being evil it's just I do agree changing little things that could break the character is a bad practice. and its not just astarion honestly, I've seen Larian does it to Lae and Gortash and now they're putting new dialogues to spawn astarion reaction to Mizora's cheating. It makes me feel like the game is unfinished and lose faith in Larian if they're still changing dialogues and expressions 8 months after release. I am honesyly more upset that corrupt magistrate astarion is never elaborated. But I don't think they'll change it.
