Adding dialogue for positive/neutral/negative is pretty good for roleplaying your Character the way you want. I wish they would do this in all aspects of the character, not just the romance. Yet I do see the romance end is so extremely screwed up right now and it is causing some major issues. It also doesn't help that it seems what the player had prior to moving the original team that worked on Astarion to different "projects" (probably new games or something else within Larian). In all honesty (my opinion only) if the original team's work would stand (be kept for the canon of it all) and the current team would quit making changes to the entire story, then maybe we wouldn't even have as many bugs in the WHOLE game due to all their changes that affect so many other things. I want the story back. I want the choices back. I want the choices put back into the PLAYER'S hand, not someone who wants to change the story and take away PLAYER Agency!!
If they allow us to direct our own game choices, as was what I originally understood for the marketing and the whole thing from launch (a fun cRPG that will be close to the DnD tabletop experience). Now they are just trashing their own product? It simply makes no logical sense. I can't even play the game now, due to not knowing what new "triggers" they are going to slap me with and also because the game doesn't play very well when it is nothing but one big Bug City from Act 1-2-3.
I would enjoy the game to go back and give me some better options. I want no morals (moral lessons for adults? please, I bought this for entertainment, not life lessons) or BS added to my choices because the current team cannot handle it (IMO). I bought a roleplaying game. Not a game that will change everything & the story 6-7-8 months into the game instead of sticking with the original creator team's vision. This is not beta. This is not Early Access. I also don't want myself treated like I am trash either. Larian is playing a high-stakes game in real life, and that wire doesn't look stable enough to hold you, either fix it or fall. Just do something for the audience that loves the character, not the ones that think we deserve something bad to happen to us or hate us because they do not like the choice we made in the comfort of our own personal game. Don't do things to spite them just because you are listening to a few loud voices on social media and also changing the story after the fact of by a different team. Please instead do this for the reasons that your fans used to enjoy the game, but you are losing them due to silly choices made by your current team's handling of this story and no bug fixes (or at least, fewer unnecessary bugs).
Also, one last note. Please acknowledge you hear our requests & suggestions, which we are respectfully & properly asking for. Feedback goes both ways.
I agree with the OP. We have been asking for a long time, with no response. Thank you for your time.
