Hi all, I'm new here but I've been keeping up with this conversation for a while and finally wanted to share my thoughts.
Hello, Celesti4! Thank you for taking the time to log in and say a few words.

Yeah, some people don't like the AA ending, well, or love it as a tragedy. The latter can easily be interpreted for UA - is discussion. Those who don't like it most haven't even played it. I don't think you should make content based on seeing the worst in it, especially kissing. Some people say Astarion “I enjoy killing him every time, giving him to hunters, he's annoying” - maybe all then all content on Astarion should be with that audience in mind.

Larian doesn't give an answer, very rarely. But I don't mind if they silently give back the ability to play Tav, who doesn't have to press “break up” which implies fear from the kiss. A satisfied Tav has more lines anyway. Especially Durge.

Yeah, spawn doesn't have a kiss too, only a hug. In the epilogue if everyone has one, they need Astarion as well.

It's great that you found nice things! They really were. We found a couple lines in the script that haven't been added to the game yet. Extracted a couple new lines from the game files that hadn't been added yet in game fully.here
