I think who have played this romance since release loved this romance with the happy tone dynamic that fits the majority of narrative lines, and the kissing, the intimacy the character asks for is logical just for a game like this.
Ok guys let’s please not turn this into another thread getting into fights over astarion kisses. There have already been two threads locked because of that discussion getting out of hand, so people should just let it rest. It’s such a minor detail that is ultimately not a huge problem in the game, and people are getting far too up in arms over it. The kisses from now on will be happy and match up with all the other relationships having happy kiss scenes, because that’s the tone the game wants to convey here, end of story. If you want a story where your character is outright being abused and is upset about it, it is not to be found in this game.
Yes, you're right, HenryDoughnut
I'll post threads here where it's been actively discussed why neutral, especially scared faces for romance breaks many things on many levels.
HereAnd hereI’m always going to be bothered seeing people praise little changes to things like Astarion and Shadowheart
Astarion didn't get a new chair,
by the way. He already has a nice one, though.
I would like new items for Astarion, after the Asc, the golden goblet, wine, or the food he likes, is interesting. Spawn could have a Cazador skull. Fella wanted one in act 1 don't know how now, but I want one.
Sorry about that paragraph ХD, it's half-joking, I know disproportionate content for companions is frustrating.
P.S. Larian please give Minthara a romance scene in Act 3, it’s so unfulfilling for her to be the only character without even an intimate conversation cutscene at camp.
Every time I see a request for Minthara my heart bleeds, it's true, she deserves it, it's also true that I worry a bit when it comes to new content that might be inconsistent. Hopefully that won't happen with Minathra.
I think many who like the fantasy side that Minthara shows are interested and deserve more. Overall the drow lore is unique and vast to explore.
