Some of us AA fans liked the old expressions TYVM and I will continue to voice my complaint if they are changed.
Yes, we know what you're calling for on
Reddit.
Your posts in the thread
Patch 7 Closed Beta Feedback contained clear violations of the forum rules, namely:
«Remain respectful of game narratives and character preferences.
Do not attempt to spread or intentionally share misinformation and falsehoods.
Do not use Larian Studios Message Boards' features in a manner that adversely affects the availability of its resources to other users (e.g., excessive shouting [use of all caps]
While we are aware that sometimes users might want to have these discussions on reference to the games, please try to keep conversations about heavier topics (abuse, sexual assault, etc) within spoilered text with an appropriate warning, so other users can choose if they want to engage.
Do not purposefully derail conversation or antagonise community members».
It is certainly none of my business to evaluate this, but nevertheless, I will ask you to refrain from such things in this thread so as not to contribute to its closure.
Also, according to the forum rules: "It's everyone's responsibility to keep this a safe and positive community. This space is for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity/expression, sexuality, religion, race, ethnicity, or nationality. Offensive content or harassment on this basis, either personal or generalized, will not be tolerated. Be respectful of your fellow forum members". So I will also ask you not to insult members of the BDSM community the way you did in that thread. The kissing scenes with happy facial expressions are in fact consensual D/s scenes, and therefore the description of these scenes as a
LARIAN IS ROMANTICIZING ABUSE.
Unacceptable and offensive.
I was very happy to see in the feedback about the upcoming patch 7 that our requests were heard! Dear Larian, thank you for that! What you are doing now is wonderful, it makes people happy, thank you for choosing to keep the game happy and playable for all players! All players are entitled to love and joy on their romance path, and you have proven that you care, that you hear your players and make the game so much better as a result! I look forward to the new patch and dream of seeing the facial expressions in my game that only testers are seeing now so far. This is the best choice and the best option. Thank you!!! You've regained my trust and I will happily buy your next game knowing that everything will be fine now! <3

I'm sure most of us who love Astarion, help him Ascend and be truly free, strong and live life to the fullest, are also happy to know that we will now have the opportunity for happiness, joy and expressing our love on our romantic path! Let's thank Larian for this gift! If any of you would like to express your gratitude to the studio for this, now is the time to do so!
