You can break up with him even 300 times before the epilogue, he has no power over it. So you're still left with the same reaction. Players who stay with him must be happy with their situation, otherwise they would have dumped him.

Except that’s not true at all. Narratively, there is nothing to suggest that doing so is safe for our character if we’ve already become his spawn. As soon as the tadpole is gone, he could hunt Tav down and use compulsions just like Cazador did to his spawn. And if the narrative doesn’t agree with me, then why the hell do we have an actual abuse dialogue chain where Tav can be intimidated into not breaking up with him?

Also, you’re saying some really problematic things here. Victims stay with abusers they’re afraid of all the time and this is without vampire mind control magic being in the mix. Like, sorry, but you’re kinda coming across here as victim blaming.

Edit: And more importantly, you’re distracting from the real issue here, which is the lack of character agency, which was the complaint by people who wanted to see their Tav happy during the kiss no? So then Larian needs to meet in the middle and solve this either by toning things down to neutral, or giving us a choice. Stop trying to discredit my game choices and my perception of the new facial expressions.
