As much as a player may like the current expressions of patch 6 for the reason you said before, I suppose that they discourage you from continue kissing Lord Astarion and continue the relationship with him.

I'm not asking to only keep the Patch 6 expressions and not add new ones. I completely understand other players wanting their Tav to look happy during the kisses. If Tav's reactions to the kisses depended on our choices, like the OP suggested, everyone could have the version of the story that feels right to them.

I know that the request is not to not introduce the new expressions of patch 7 at all.
I just wanted to explain why, in my opinion, the comparison with the scene you mentioned was not very fitting and why, in my opinion, in the end Larian decided to change the expressions.
