Hm, could be fun. I always saw AA as a lot of talk. A bit more bratty. He's the bark, Durge is the bite. And to be perfectly fair...they *did* add what you request (a chance to make him kneel) though maybe not in the way that you're imagining.
Oh, I forgot about that, thank you for reminding me. It is a good scene though I think it was negative in the scene? If I remember right. In my suggestion it wouldn't be so negative. Thanks for sharing about your RP.
I think rewriting the entire story, so that the Dark Urge dominates AA is asking too much. There should be a line after you accept being Bhaal's chosen one where you can kill your romance. So you could break your relationship at an early stage, especially when Astarion starts talking about dowry and "nicley sitting in my lab" or you don't like the kisses or the kneeling down. That's the way a Dark Urge who is Bhaal's Chosen breaks with his romance.
I don't want to break the romance though? I don't really see killing or breaking up as a fix to the Dark Urge characterization here. But thanks for sharing your idea.
Categorically opposed. It completely contradicts the story of Ascended Astarion, it doesn't fit the conversion scene or the plot. I am against the game being allowed to ab*se a person who survived slavery, sexual ab*se, and all the things Astarion went through in his life in such a way. Right now the D/s romance in the game has a consensual dynamic, and it should stay that way.
It doesn't contradicts his character at all. Ascended Astarion is open about wanting to make his consort happy and give her what she wants. What if his consort is the more dominant one? It makes perfect sense especially for Dark Urge. I don't like that you're implying flipping the roles would somehow make it not consensual. Connecting being dominant to being the same thing as sexual ab*se is wrong. If you're saying being in the dominant role is abuse, then is Astarion is abusing Dark Urge right now? Come on.
