You have the option and gency - to break up, or mod an abuse-victi story where that option-break up is erased.
Funny thing is, I don’t need to because that’s literally what happens in the epilogue. <3
In the epilogue, it goes.
"Truly, we are flourishing," "Yes we are a spectacle, after all," "No one dares touch us, my love".
The game, and the epilogue is how you play the game.
I'm sure you're also well aware that no one goes for a kiss when they're afraid or hateful.
Ok, but if this is literally the first time you kiss him and then you find yourself being shoved, grabbed, bitten without consent, etc., that might very well be something that you find triggering and don’t expect to see your character smiling playfully during.
Hence why, again, I am asking for the ability to express that in the dialogue through facial expressions that match those feelings because I find the old ones to be more fitting. I’m not saying we can’t have both. I just don’t expect MY character to be ok with what I see as abuse.
If you consider something to be abuse, I think it's best to avoid it. People who don't think it's abuse, and felt Tav enjoying on their knees in the night scene from having their throat squeezed, seeing the fear opition didn't ask the question "why is that?", it was about enjoyment, it all with the consent, and didn't feel what they felt in patch 6: guilt, trigger, PTSD, shame.
The game did a very good job of giving multiple times to break up, to refuse, to keep the consensual romance, that's how it was on release, that's how it was originally written, as you can see above.
I hope Larian keeps the consistency and tone of the game that people paid for on release.
