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.


Thank you for your posts. This is so true.

As far as I remember when patch 6 first came out, I suggested 10 more hits in dialog. Or say 10 more insults that Astarion was swearing, getting angry and scaring Tav, make sad and angry.
Before patch 6, Tav was expressing negative emotions on something like this.
Likewise, I've never been against for discussing a line during a wisdom check at night. Which, of course, suggests a variety of options.
But not in the February 14 kisses that replace the happy ones. The game didn't involve a dead dove, fear of intimacy, not a single one.
Tav wanted it gently, Astarion did, they both enjoyed it - that's it.

Rough - Gentle for kissing, like turning night would be perfect for a romance where player and character would feel comfortable.

Kisses were created for a narrative line where the player agrees, their character agrees and enjoys - mixing fear and non-consent - especially in intimacy where it was about trust, vulnerability and enjoyment in the script. What a clumsiness.
