Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback I dream of smiling at my beloved (a request for a happy face for Tav in Ascended Astarion's kisses).

I'm sending it here too.

Some fans bring too much, unbelievably over-the-top, problematic reality into vampire romance. (reality works very poorly with all of Astarion)

In the scenario of the night with the Ascended Astarion, when Tav agrees to an eternal bond, agrees to kneel, and chooses to "rough" - the Player that is them, the character enjoys. It's felt by the whole atmosphere.

When an already consensual thing, with a mood of enjoyment starts to taste the opposite of the emotions experienced - it's not a good idea for a romance.

I'm convinced it's better to leave the intimate scenes, kissing Astarion alone, happy and consensual. Except for patch 6 in the change for February 14, the game has always done this and will continue in patch 7 - with the happily set emotion.

I guess it's better to ask for discomfort, abusive behavior, rape, dead dove, "dirty realism", some completely different scenes to play the character-victim, with conversations not connecting them to the already with thing that was with written with enjoyment and fun.
