Thanks to modders those of us on PC can play the game again despite patch 6! Thank you very much modders for this! I wasn't into mods before, preferring the original game, but now my opinion has completely changed. By the way, besides the kissing fix, there are other interesting mods that can improve the game with Astarion. Here's a small list of what I found to my liking (maybe someone else will find it useful). astarionhappy

1. Nightingale's Lord Astarion - Ascended Astarion Alternative Romance

Perfect kissing set for body 1 (8 kisses for body 1, of which 4 kisses are also suitable for body 2). Also added a hug as a romantic interaction.

2. Happy facial expressions for Ascended Astarion kisses

Changes Tav's facial expressions in Ascended Astarion's kisses to happy ones (except for the bite kiss).

3. Astarion Post Ascension Dialogue Fix

Fixes the lines for Tav in the dialog with Astarion after the Ascension. Yes, I love our beautiful Vampire Ascendant!

4. Astarion's Gear

Gorgeous outfit for Astarion.

5. Astarion Vampire Wedding Rings

Engagement rings for the lovely married couple.

6. Astarion Bugbear and Ogre Dialogue Priority

Gives Astarion priority for his dialogue during the Bugbear and Ogre Scene.

7. Auntie Ethel - Dark Urge Dialogue Bug Fix (with Optional Astarion Priority)

Gives Astarion priority to interject when Auntie Ethel is regaling you with her tale about "...a fella who'd been caught dabbling with a dryad."

One life, one love - until the world falls down.
