Or maybe they didn't care? I might also be completely wrong because the same-seized version of that kiss just looks very odd to me over all. A bit awkward, if I should sum it up in one word, so I might just be hypercritical of it. Otoh a lot of people seem to really like the weird bendy motion, so what do I know?
But thanks to your comment, I looked at the shorty version with disguise self and it's really very cute, I especially like that Astarion is touching the character back with the left hand. I had only looked at it on yt before shortly after that patch released and it had looked much like the taller versions there.
Gale smooches are absolutely needed, because they are awesome!
