This definitely doesn't need to turn into spawn vs AA, for sure. I think I've mentioned before, I'd love an animation that shows his slightly more goofy side that we got a glimpse of in the graveyard scene. He's a goofball with teeth and it would be fun to see a little more of that in a post graveyard kiss animation.
And speaking of Karlach kisses, I wish they'd implement something for Tav/spawn similar to origin Astarion/karlach date here at 5:12
I'm trying to not make this a spawn vs AA thread lol, but if people don't like the Karlach origin kiss being used with spawn as well then I think the kiss you showed in the video could very much be used instead, or something similar at least. I want equal content for everyone & my suggestion was only if Larian didn't want to make another new kiss but wouldn't mind recycling the old karlach origin kiss

Thirdly "softening the expression" doesn't change him yanking the player character around - if anything this leads to the same conversation having had in the multitude of other threads on the subject: "Do I want to watch my character enjoying abuse." In the unascended route this comes with the added problem that you never have the turning-night scene but instead have a scene confirming the equality of your partnership. If I should add a suggestion for a third "kiss", it would be a hug - I wouldn't even mind the original peck you could give him back. It was cute and at least some of the other characters still have their pecks too.
I don't want this thread to have arguments especially regarding if AA is abusing tav/durge. Like I said this is merely my suggestion. If you don't like the karlach kiss being implemented in then that's fine! From my point of view I think it would be nice to add as I do not see it as him yanking the character around. Like I said I think it is okay to suggest reusing some of his kisses. I can just say we can agree to disagree.
