It's due to this insecurity that makes AA so keen on turning his lover ASAP so he can be sure they'll never leave him. Being loyal to Astarion should have positive effects down the road for both spawn Astarion and AA. Perhaps it allows for AA to be less controlling and allows spawn Astarion to seem more confident about your relationship in the epilogue.

I fully support to improve Spawn Astarion and make this route better! And I fully support to get a reward / a cutscene, if you stay loyal to your partner.

But I don't need a change of AA to be less controlling as he is now, the new Epilogue is great (except that there could be a kiss - consensual of course). For me it's a nice and almost balanced story, and people were free to roleplay and have their own fantasy (bride or spawn). Also his dark side is very balanced in my opinion, he treats his consort quite well. (beside of patch 6 kisses Tav) I like AA to stay as he is, I don't need him less evil.

I would agree to improve the old Epilogue with AA, but they already did this with the bed scene, and that's a nice one! I do really like the improvement. But I'd kindly ask for happy faces for everyone here. In the bedscene Tav smiles and is happy, and when Tav is out of the bed, he suddenly has a really sad face. Ahem. smile I guess, just a little bug. Please change it to a happy or a neutral face, before Tav's first answer. Before and after, everything is right.
