I'm so glad at least modders are in touch with the players. Now we only need the bite kiss to be fixed and we can fully enjoy the game again.

I hope you are wrong about Larian. As things stand the romance with A.Astarion is so inconsistent, it is really frustrating trying to play through the romance and RP as a Tav who wasn't just into some kinky vamp sex and who doesn't bitterly regret the ascension. That isn't a story I'm interested in at all, I just want a classic Dark Romance.

I too hope Tav's face is a gross mistake, a clumsiness.
Because I don't have a single logical reason to think that the kisses were recast for February 14 to make you feel bad, to show a story of abuse rather than love.

Larian wanted to do it so badly that 7-8 months, the kiss with AA was completely with happy faces. And in the ending and epilogue there are a total of 10 positive lines, when about 3 (counting the �let's break up�) are allotted for the abuse story with the vampire

Literally took a kiss that had previously been enjoyable for the character and the players who play this way. And made it appropriate for a minority of lines in the game. Why? What for? For February 14.

And even a 6 patch �finally showing what kind of story this is, it's abusive and not love� (for Feb. 14)
Gives Tav a line:
Player: I'm sorry I kind of disappeared. I didn't mean to leave you like that.

Not to mention the other 9.
Who, in what world, would walk up and tell someone whose kisses are scary and disliked, �I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leave you like that�.
Oh, or is Tav lying and choosing the right words so the one they're afraid of doesn't get angry.
That's fantastic.

Patch 6 showed nothing but that Larian is a complete disaster about this character.
This clumsy mess will continue too 7-8 months, Larian will show their attitude for in the september. This is too serious a thing for story to leave it like this, on the shoulders of the moders, who incidentally deal with harassment by putting what was in the story for back in place.
