This is exactly where I feared the conversation would steer at the end of the day. It started with Tavs facial expressions, it now comes down to changing and adding to animations of Astarion once again. Like I’ve said before this is not about changing AA. He is the way he is. You can interpret whatever you want into his actions, i don’t care. But this is not about adding or changing things about him. Whether or not you see it, but adding gentle kisses will not make this better. For you it might be nice to smooch him in more ways, but objectively speaking adding gentle, or ANY more kisses will make it worse for the narrative and introduce serious problems down the line. There is no point in arguing with you because I’ve seen from your other posts nothing anyone says will change your mind in the slightest. At this point, honestly, I wish this discussion were never started to begin with and we could just live with whatever animations we have right now. It’s not fair to ask for more kiss animation, them being changed or whatever else you want when there are bigger problems in the game. I am genuinely happy that larian listened to fans in changing the facial expressions, I don’t mind that. But changing anything further now will do the character an insane amount of disservice, introduce serious problems and implications and leave a bad taste in a lot of peoples’ mouths, not just those who argue wehster or not patch 6 or 7 is better.
