“My Tav is afraid of him,” so she asks AA to kiss her. This is the first thing you do when you are afraid of your abuser. You walk up and say, “I want to kiss you.” Obviously you want to say, “I'm leaving you,” but you're afraid to, so a “kiss me” comes off your lips. Larian, please, you can see the obvious flaws in this logic. Kissing is not what these Tavs need.
I'm so afraid of AA that I can't walk away from him even though I want to, but I need the frightened faces of fear before I ask for a kiss myself.
I don't appreciate you mocking our rp like this. Tav doesn't know AA will do anything else than kiss them when they ask "Could I kiss you". Having asked for a kiss doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to react with surprise or confusion when he suddenly makes them kneel or grabs their neck. Even in the romance scene, Tav can object at first and doesn't look ecstatic.
This is the third time this thread has been created, and its creators write literally the same thing in each of their posts. The same talking points over and over again, despite having been challenged a thousand times in previous threads, are now right there in the thread header.
No, this is a thread asking to have back what was now taken away. In the other similar threads, we were repeatedly told we should just wait to see the final expressions before we give our feedback because it was "too soon to judge". And now that we all have seen them, we're not allowed to give feedback and ask for changes either?
"The same talking points over and over again, despite having been challenged a thousand times" can be applied to saying "Tav shouldn't be scared, it doesn't make sense" over and over again too, no matter how many times we explain why it made sense for our Tavs and has always been possible.
I don't want this to derail into a debate thread again. I wanted a place for myself and others to share our post-patch release feedback, same as others did after Patch 6. Please, by all means, say you don't agree and don't support my suggestion. But if you want to debate what would or wouldn't make sense for the story at length, please don't do that in a feedback thread and in the form of repeatedly telling other people their ways of playing are ridiculous again.
