Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 glitch causes Astarion to give awkward forehead kisses Larian StudiosAfter a recent Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 hotfix, an issue with Astarion\u2019s new kissing animation is causing the usually suave Elf to fumble during romantic moments. With him being one of the most thirsted-after companions in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, there\u2019s certainly an appetite among fans for more Astarion romance content. As a small part of the recently implemented Hotfix #10, Larian provided just that. The update resulted in a marked improvement on Astarion\u2019s Patch #4\u2019s snog. During this, he grimaced or stared blankly when asked for some sugar. However, while post-Hotfix #10 Astarion now has the right spirit, he still seriously needs to work on his aim. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Astarion delivers some buggy kisses On the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit, a player shared footage of their Body Type 1 Tav enduring Astarion\u2019s recently added kissing animation. In it, he grabs their character\u2019s hips passionately but ends up delivering a smooch that\u2019s decidedly more chaste. Instead of locking lips, he bizarrely pecks them on their forehead. Commenters agreed an intentional forehead kiss would be rather sweet. However, it\u2019s clear from his partner\u2019s facial animations that their two mouths were supposed to meet. As other players have pointed out, Astarion is also hilariously off the mark with Body Type 3 and 4. With these taller, more muscular characters, he kisses the air in front of his lover\u2019s chest. However, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans who chose Body Type 2 for their Tavs are smugly enjoying the animation as it was intended. It\u2019s unclear when a fix for Astarion\u2019s buggy kissing animation will be introduced. Still, fans have observed that Larian Studios have been committed to their attempts to \u201cfix\u201d Astarion. They have a good deal in common with the players in that regard. Except Larian are trying to fix him in a technical sense, not trying to fix him in the \u2018he\u2019s really not that bad of a guy for wanting to become a Vampire Ascendant\u2018 sense. We see you, ascended Astarion defenders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
