Larian changed the expressions in patch 7 most likely due to the uproar patch 6 caused. So sure, while patch 6 supporters could do the same and get their favorite expressions back at some point, it would be a better way to show some sort of community here by compromising. Larian doesn’t have to listen, but we all know they might if they know they can make players happy. And as it stands now, a great group of people is not happy to the point of not enjoying the game anymore. There is nothing to indicate why larian decided to change the expressions in such a drastic way, so the assumption that it was due to fan feedback is strong. At the very least, they must have had their reasons to implement patch 6 in the first place because that was not guided by fan feedback at all. Nobody said “make my Tav make this expression”, so that was the way they themselves must’ve envisioned Tav in this relationship. They only changed it because fans wanted it.
