I think dialogs like these would go a long way to prove that AA fans aren't just looking for a pure "wish fulfillment" story. I actually like that so many of the companions are disapproving. It's a RPG where I've arguably made a pretty dark decision. In a tabletop game the other characters/players would comment on it, and they should do the same here. But it also shows Astarion's devotion to Tav, so it could also put to rest some of the "he's abusive" folks. Of course, those who are dead-set on it aren't going to be swayed by anything, I think.

Agree with everything you said! It's a crime that we can't trigger those lines! They really would make the experience more immersive and sheds light on certain blind spots that the game has right now. It always felt kind of empty and odd to me that none of the other companions comment about you becoming a spawn or anything about the new dynamics of your relationship. I agree some people will never change their mind about hating on A.A. and saying he's abusive - but at least we'd have something more substantial. It does show his devotion and the depth of this bond we share with him. <3

I saw they mentioned in this update that some things will be added before September, and even though my hope is slim, I will hold on to some hope that they will change those kisses soon. Because they are destroying this romance for so many players and fans. I'm happy for those who enjoy roleplaying it like that, but you can't just force something shocking like that on everyone. Those kisses are inconsistent to the rest of the romance (dialogues, etc.) and they just don't make sense to me no matter how I look at it.

I'm hoping that they get enough constructive negative feedback on it that they will do something about it. How can they not see what a mistake this was. I've gotten more sour about it the longer they ignore / don't change it. frown
