I am perfectly normal about the little sway and stumble into the hug.

Avatar Karlach: You got it. Next stop, Zariel's forge. Final stop, Faerûn.

Wyll: Fuck yeah, that's my girl! Oh shit - I'm starting to pick up your bad habits. Well, fuck it. In for a coin, in for a coffer.

devnote: Oopsy - he's been picking up some bad language habits from Karlach!

TO ALL THE SAVE SCUMMERS:

It looks like the patch notes mention that saving on a dice roll screen will preserve that dice roll, so keep in mind to try to save BEFORE entering the roll screen!!

So many saying:

"Oh! Why do all the other romances in the epilogue get kisses while Astarion gets just hugs! Where is our kiss?!?!"

I think you're missing the point...

For non-ascended Astarion, nothing is more fitting or more perfect than that hug. Why?

This is a man that had been abused for over 200 years. A man who was forced to use his body to lure people against his will. A man who tells you that he has used his body sexually and otherwise that just the act of sexual intimacy has been tainted for him.

In Act 2, as he tells you all this, allowing an extremely vulnerable side of himself to be shown to you. Asking for reassurance that he was more than a cheap tool. What does Tav/Durge do?

They hug him. Hold him tightly. And the Vampire has no clue what to do because he, in 200 years, has never been touched like that unless it had sexual implications. For the first time, he is being touched for pure, vulnerable intimacy and love. And in that moment, he accepts the safety of your arms, and holds you. Craving not a touch of lust, but love.

So yes, a hug is far better than a kiss in my regard. At the end of the day, no matter what, he wants to feel that safe feeling of your arms. No expectations, just pure love.

time to make some space for patch 5 y'all

"A romanced Minthara can now refer to her bond with you using a drow word for deep, unbreakable love."

[crowetesque]

Hey we can smooch Astarion again, gang

[faorism]

YALL when left on his own, epilogue spawn astarion becomes an adventurer out there doing good in the world. and origin wyll as duke seems like the least happy guy at the party, talking about how busy he is and generally being extremely devoted to nothing other than rebuilding the city. wyll is happiest as an adventurer.

what im saying is that the frontiers' blade and dagger is real, and wyllstarionation? we living

Wyll: There're tales galore of a great green dragon called Claugiyliamatar. Try saying that five times in a row!

Wyll: 'Claugiyliamatar'. 'Clog-ee-myalarfer'. 'Cloff-a-mother-f...' Whatever - let's call it Old Gnawbone.

devnote: CLOG-ee-lee-uh-MAT-ar. Wyll tries his own game to say the dragon's name five times in a row and fails spectacularly and charmingly.
