a little vampiric "biting" - well my god, Astarion bites regularly, that's nothing at all. So it's safe.
I love Tav's face in patch 6 when they offer to bite themselves AA, like all the nights before but now after shaking with fear and offense. They were already chillin.
Once the Valentine's Day added animations ended right away everything fell into place.
Based on the whole context, these kisses can only have a voluntary dynamic. Otherwise, you should just give up your relationship with AA.
It's like slaughtering a grove, getting into a romance with Mintara, and then asking for kisses where you're in discomfort and triggered by her. When the grove is 7k.
When I kneeled in the spawn transformation scene, I only did it because I chose to kneel myself, and in the kiss, my character does it because he's afraid. In the transformation scene, I chose the dialog "Oh, come on. Let it hurt," to have Astarion grab Tav by the neck, and during the kiss.... Is Tav afraid of that? In the dev notes it says AA and Tav are both enjoying it. Tav wasn't scared and resentful, and AA didn't revel in Tav's fear. Tav had a choice. Tav sits on his knees not because of fear. This is a scene of seduction, not coercion.
If the player agrees to kneel, then they are agreeing to that relationship dynamic.

Yes, agreed.
