I apologize, can I ask you a small question - how do you reconcile “love” for a character and the option where you only have to choose to kiss him once and never ask for them again? Respectfully, I in no way mean to say that you're playing it wrong in any way, I really have little familiarity with the genre you want to see in a game and I can't figure it out on my own. I understand that someone might enjoy the kissing 6 patch, but I can assume they will use that option quite often. And your option is a mystery to me, but I'd really like to understand, what it's like.

They are fairly neutral now, Tav doesn't look distressed or terrified but they don't look more than moderately happy when A. Astarion kisses them. I think 'tepid' is a good word for how I percieve their response.

I would personally prefer a little more passion, so being able to use the kisses from the other origin characters would be my preference.

I am grateful to Larian for the fix because for me, Patch 6 absolutely ruined the romance with A. Astarion. However, while I will romance him in future, I probably won't bother asking him to kiss Tav very often, if at all. I don't hate what they've done but I really can't say I'm enthusiatic about the change.

Please allow us to mod these on console if at all possible.

I second that! I too see flaws in the new facial expressions - I especially don't like Tav's eyes during the bite and the blank stare afterward. I'd prefer more passion too (the kneeling smile is perfect, I'd like to have something similar in other moments as well). Also, I'd really like to be able to combine the game's original kisses with a mod that allows romantic kisses so that the kisses from the mod don't replace the main kisses, but work together with them.

Dear Larian, please take care of the availability of the game modification on all platforms!

One life, one love - until the world falls down.
