I'm not asking for anything to be taken away from you

By asking to leave expressions of fear in the game - you're asking to remove AA, who wasn't the one who scared Tav. Especially on purpose, in intimate moments, for your own pleasure. Before patch 6, you could only read about it in fanfics. I don't care if I don't see it in my game, that's not the point at all. The AA I knew wouldn't do that to Tav. The AA I knew would be gentle with Tav if Tav wanted him to be.

You may think Patch 6 changed the character, but since many of us didn't think it changed him at all, that is clearly not an objective reality.


In what specific parts of the game before patch 6 did you see the animal fear on Tav's face when interacting with AA? When exactly had he ever wanted to scare Tav to such an extent? It was in people's fantasies, because people tend to conjure up all sorts of horrors in the AA route.

That doesn't mean either version should be taken away just because someone else disagrees with that version of the narrative.

Why should I agree with something that came out as much as six months after the game came out and turned the character of AA upside down? AA had a tender kiss for half a year, I don't understand why you insist he wouldn't be a good fit for your Tav?

Quote
Playing Tav as unhappy or afraid of AA but still staying in the relationship has always been possible, since long before the kisses were added.

Until the epilogue, such a Tav does not exist in the game. In the epilogue, Tav may indeed be unhappy about not being able to leave him, but afraid? What does he do to make Tav afraid of him? “I give you wealth, power, pleasure - every decadence that can be afforded to a person? But you'd rather - what - sleep in the dirt again? You are my consort, and I will see you living the very best life. Even if you don't appreciate it. Why don't you go and mingle? Have fun with your so-called friends. I'll be here when you're done.

Giving every character the new happy expressions would not restore Patch 5, it would only take away a path that has been in the game since release.

Since the game's release there have only been happy facial expressions when kissing, AA has had no problem being affectionate if Tav wanted it, and there are no moments where Tav is panic-stricken of AA. Are you saying that before patch 6 this narrative didn't work in the game? I'm sorry, how did you play for half a year before that?
