I am a fan of both UA and AA, personally I do like the new change because before the old AA's facial expressions were somewhat triggering/sickening for me especially if I was roleplaying as my durge enjoying it. Although I do agree the facial expressions could be a little more neutral, I don't think they should make this a huge priority at the moment. Thankfully we have mods to fix this if you're playing on pc and eventually when it comes to console. I do think them making it optional could be a good idea but maybe in the future? No matter what they do for those Astarion kisses they will be damned if they do and damned if they don't.
I want to be clear I do understand where people are coming from and how this new version could very much so be triggering NOW for them. But, I'm not sure how much resources it would cost for them to revamp it once again or to make it optional, but I'd much rather get bug fixes, give UA a new kiss, and to give all the companions a unique last kiss before the end of the game, and GIVE redeemed durge better companion reactions especially from their love interest.
Please don't take this the wrong way either because I'm trying not to be against you! <3
