I support it.
It always has been and always will be a scandal.
And now something unthinkable is happening to narrative and story.
Kisses with a disgruntled, frightened face, only ones in this game,
(Druid Bear and Illithid were neutral satisfied faces there, eh?) the player press, in the 6 fanservice patch for February 14.
Love Romance
Role Play with a dangerous, decadent vampire Astarion.
Here is the psychology of people who choose Ascension. Yes, it was damage, it wasn't before, no one denied the "you're mine"-big Astarion laugh, there was no damage.
Most Damage from Tav-victim-face during the kiss, not what Astarion does. Damage from the situation that the one who put it into production and decided Tav-victim was a good idea.
Other reasons have to do with the poor disclosure of this quirks in Romance (Ascended Astarion is himself, canonically confirmed) and people's personal reasons, it's already about respectful fanservice. On release, there was a choice of gentler-harder. Now there isn't.
Here are my suggestions and thoughts on how to correct this crazy mess.
Abusive controlling kissing without consent is not possible:
- the player presses
- Tav with a tadpole comes near
- Tav can break up and kill Astarion
