No it's not a good scene. It lacks the romantic, consensual context I'm sure you're looking for. And the patch 7 kneel is not something I would pursue personally. My favorite pair is resist Durge+AA, I've always played as the more dominant of the pair as well. So the kneeling kiss made me roll my eyes. I think the kneeling is perfect and symbolic during the transformation scene. But for the kiss... Yeah, hard sell for me that my neutral evil, noble Durge would get her knees dirty. But I can still roll with it for roleplay. My PC does like to spoil him. I think there's a mod that reverses roles for the AA kisses. With the new patch 7 expressions, so Astarion doesn't look scared, I might try it out once it hits console! The writing for the game is overall pretty inconsistent in a lot of ways. I just add this to the growing list and try to roll with it.
