i will also add to my previous message: there needs to be player and player character agency, as in deciding if they like it or not, without changing AA as a character. this is why i am against adding or changing the animations themselves. there is a difference, even if you dont agree that he changed as a person, you can clearly hear and see different behaviour in him. since he is different / behaves differently, the romance has to reflect that in a true manner. personally, i have never ever ever seen anyone complain about the animations themselves (if there were concerns here i apologize i must have missed those), and i have been in A LOT of discussions on reddit about this through out the year that the game has been out. from people begging for AA to get fitting kisses pre patch 6, to praising larian for adding them in patch 6 to now with patch 7.

from the very beginning when patch 6 was introduced, larian was praised for adding exactly these animations (and facial expressions). they already went back to change the faces, its not fair to ask 1. larian to change the animations, which for sure take even longer than faces and 2. take something that is specific to AA away.
