I didn't want to derail the other thread any further, so I dug this one up since it seemed to be the most fitting, maybe? It at least has the most neutral topic.

This embrace looks more like a friendly hug than a romantic one. The hug in the second act is tighter and deeper. I'm not saying it's bad, I remember that Anska wrote in one of the threads that this hug is more suitable for him, but I would hug a friend like this, not a loved one.

I think that, apart from personal preference and perception, this might also depend on the model of the player character. In a yt clip, I noticed, that with the slender, female human-sized model the hug is a bit looser, while with the slender male human-sized model, the characters basically melt into each other. (Especially if your character is Gale who has a bit of extra shoulder padding in his epilogue outfit.) Just as a thought.
