This ‘solution’ being posed by @Rote90 is offering ‘two’ aggressively negative options, and one that can barely be perceived as a ‘positive.’ I already do not like the options offered on the ‘turning night’ post ascension for PC response to Astarion (whose idea was it to put ‘I want your body’ option after we went through all of Act 2 placing sex on hold). I don’t want to have to select a ‘narrative dialogue’ option each time I want a kiss.

Very well put!

I do not agree that Rote's suggestion speak for the majority, as they have put.

@blue. Yes. We are all aware we can physically do it. But as many have outright said, we are not welcome. So many of us do not.

But to your point spooky, I also agree that the writing *for Tav* is horrendous before the turning. It again feels god modded, where we are being told *why* we just did it, even when that is thoroughly not the case. It is a quite frequent occurrence that the dialogue doesn't match anything but a good player. Looking at a few other dialogue options for him in act 1 & 2 ("The world is a kind place"?? Really?? The world has not been kind to him. Nor Durge. The options there make me cringe. As do the act 1 "power corrupts" lines.) I'm glad you mentioned this!!
