Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Larian please give Spawn Astarion one more kiss!

I had planned to let this matter rest until after the patch since probably all intended changes have been made already. Still, because I am currently trying to finish my current run(s) before the patch and because the topic has been resurrected anyway, I thought I might add some image material of what bothers me about the spawn kiss which was added during last year's Valentine's Day patch.

First of all: I think this kiss is very adorable for shorty Tavs and nice to okayish for tall PCs and the slender mid-seized female frames. I used some magic in the kissing booth to provide examples:


It's for characters that are the same height as Astarion where it gets a little awkward. The weird half-squat they have to perform to have the right height seems unnatural and makes the pose seem out of balance, and the main frame of the kiss just doesn't have a good silhouette. While it's still somewhat adorable in its awkward dorkiness in camp clothing. It looks more and more weird the larger the pauldrons get and cloaks or musical instruments don't help the situation either.


I know that your animation team has probably had other things to worry about with all the poses added for photo mode, and I am aware that this is a niche problem, but it would be sweet if you could tweak the main frame of that kiss a little for slender males so it's easier on the eyes - and on the knees.
