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 personally think the turning scene, with AA’s total insistence that Tav/Durge kneel, is pivotal in defining their future relationship and is meant to be the point where the player decides whether their character consents.

Granted, in an ideal world there would be much more extensive and layered discussions. However, the romances are only one aspect of the game and they all contain only so much nuance and content.

I have never felt that there is any vagueness surrounding the fact that Tav/Durge is never going to be an equal partner to AA. The game feels abundantly clear on this. So anyone who nonetheless goes through with becoming his spawn knows what they are signing up for.

If they nonetheless have buyer’s remorse, there are options to break up that include quite a few interesting dialogue lines that cater to different reasons for that choice.

While I won’t say everyone who stays is happy (because everyone’s narrative is personal) I think the majority likely role play that they are and happier expressions fit that.
