Justify your point of view in detail and explain exactly what dialog lines in the game you want to tie the emotion of fear to? Because I, until patch 6 was released, did not see fear in any dialog lines. And to me, those kisses are a rewrite of the route, not an add-on as many believe.
Tav \ Dark Urge doesn't have a single dialog line of animalistic fear of AA in the game for those faces to be justified, you know? There wasn't before the patch. If Tav AA doesn't like it and Tav reacts negatively - Tav fights back (e.g. might even punch). I would still understand hurt and disgruntled faces, but then why would Tav ask to kiss himself if Tav can just break up the relationship?
There are two opposing lines in AA's relationship with him. There's Tav who loves him and Tav who wants to break up. But Tav, who wants to break up - does so rather than asking to kiss herself. And the Tav who wants to break up is still not the Tav who is terrified of him. If you want to tie the emotion of fear to these lines of dialog - there's still no reason for fear.
Plus the issue of scripted sequence. In the scene where Tav kneels for the first time, AA doesn't force Tav by intimidation or at all. In that scene, you have the choice to refuse to do it. Yes, it breaks the relationship with AA, but it's a choice. AA doesn't intimidate, he takes offense and walks away. The point is that you only get on your knees if you want to. In kissing faces of fear this logic is broken, because Tav is motivated specifically by fear and the inability to say no. And there is no consistency or logic to it.
