Thank you, Anska. We're all just operating off of our own interpretation of the text. Tone, meaning, body language, motivation, are things that are interpretation when it comes to text and static/written characters.
i also agree with that sentiment, i dont think i gave off the impression that i didnt. but since there are many ways to interpret the situations, which are canon in some games and not in others - what i mean is: the way you play and the choices you make, those become canon for your own game. like i said, there is no story-canon per se, so its all your decision combined that make that canon. - why can we not agree on having both options for tav? only the option you choose will be canon for your game. there is no need to play a narrative you dont like.
this is what i dont understand. in the end it is up to larian anyway, but if we agree between ourselves, it would make a convincing argument that larian might follow. patch 7 expressions will be kept in the game no matter what, that is absolutely clear. but why cant we agree to have *additional* expressions with patch 6 (maybe less dramatic though)
edit: just to clarify, i am absolutely fine with patch 7, i might not like the overly enthusiastic expression but this is purely my view of the facial animation. i also think patch 6 was over the top just as much. i like that tav is smiling. but i also liked the distress on their face in patch 6. when i played my durge, it made sense for her to have that look. but there will be other characters that will fit patch 7 better. since when are we against having options? were we not all incredibly happy when options for different kisses were added? or when new options for classes or races were added?
