It was totally poor choice of words on my part (someone else replied to my message but it was deleted(?) when I was about to send the reply). I don’t mean him to be an abuser canonically. I mean it more as toxic relationship, I want to make this clear, consent is always there. They both consent to whatever the other will do. Kind of a “I can make them worse” situation, starting with making them get on their knees. Though, RP can still include this as abuse in which case it would be absolutely HC. We can’t assume that the game decides which relationships are consensual or not, to the game everything you do is consensual. But HC can be abuse nonetheless, is what I mean. Patch 6 would definitely fit better with that narrative, both just toxic and abusive. But I definitely agree that they were over the top, especially the kneeling kiss. There is just dissonance of some sort between the over the top expression and then reaching for a kiss. Were it just slightly tweaked it would’ve been better. But we can’t demand that at this point. Also the other comment that was deleted mentioned patch 5. I don’t think we should go there. I think AA already has that kiss in the new ending, right? Personally I would like to keep the UA and AA kisses separately. And just go with the current AA animations with different expressions on Tav. I think it’s important that AA has his own kisses
