you are totally right in that it can be a surprise, especially for new players. while i definitely dont want people with a certain experience in abuse etc. to get triggered, this would be bad *obviously*, there are other instances of it already in the game. like choosing to sleep with astarion in act 2, its literally tagged as forced sex scene in the dialogues, and anyone regardless of having experience in this or not, will see the scene for what it is and exactly what the tag correctly says. so it isnt completely unavoidable since you can never know what exactly will trigger someone. hell, sometimes people themselves dont even know what will trigger them until is does. so adding a dialogue option for both is kind of the best that can be done from what we know.

also agree, that patch 6 could have been implemented better. like i said, both expressions are too extreme and triggering for different people for different reasons.

like ive been trying to say, there is no canon story wise, so no canon as to how your tav would react. but there IS a canon as to what AA does. so it only becomes canon once you choose the options. hence i dont want EITHER as the default.
