That's not what happened. Since Larian was taking so long to do something about patch 6, modders took the matter into their own hands. We were actually sharing links to these mods in Astarion threads to help each other out and be able to continue the romance until we heard news from Larian.
What's up with the posts trying to rewrite history? First it was supposedly only hardcore fans who complained about the kisses and now we supposedly rejected mod suggestions. LOL.
Then why did you continue to request that the facial expressions had to be changed after the mods were available? Couldn't you just have used the mods?
Because modders shouldn't fix games that are still getting patches, but the developers themselves whose actions hurt many people. If the upset was so big that even a gaming magazine made an article about it, it's fair to expect Larian to do something about their mistake that affected their paying customers, especially if said patch was advertised as a happy Valentine's Day gift.
Besides that, the complaints also related to body language where Tav is kissing Astarion with clenched fists and not even touching him. It doesn't look like it's an easy mod fix. The bite kiss seems to be particularly difficult to alter and there's still no solution for it.
