I hope there will be a way to get the original expressions back as options for those of us who liked them. As they are now, I'm very unhappy with the change. The wide grin with the closed eyes during the throat grab especially feels like an odd choice and is not something I could explain for my Tav. A softer expression that's more open to interpretation would have been enough to make Tav look more neutral, if that's what it's supposed to be now. The player agency mentioned in the title here has not been restored, it's just been taken away from others instead.
