Thank you for sharing this. It's nice to feel like someone, anywhere, is hearing us.
I played patch 6 blind and the new scenes were extremely triggering. Any attempt to discuss it in the broader community just ended in being told I'm media illiterate and stupid for taking the AA route.
I wish Larian would at least come out and say "No, they're right, were doubling down," or "We didn't mean for it to come off this way." The amount of vitriol the new patch has brought into the community has put me off the game for awhile.
Forcing you to RP a victim as the *ONLY* AA option seems off. Please don't give Tav victim faces. At least make it consistent with the choices the player makes. It was perfectly fine in Patch 5.
