I believe a key feature of an RPG should be room for interpretation. While Patch 6 diminished that aspect for the ascended romance, leading to anger among many players, Patch 7 also lacks any room for interpretation.

One point worth mentioning is that Patch 7 introduces mod tools, which would essentially allow anyone to mod whatever face they desire for Tav. I don't think it's necessary to impose any extreme emotions or relationship dynamics on the main character this late after the game's release.

I would also like to note that the kiss exists for the millions of people who purchased this game and who might potentially romance an ascended Astarion at some point. It may be helpful to keep that in mind as well.

Overall I think a truly neutral expression would be great
