Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 mod gives Ascended Astarion\u2019s kisses an \u201cunhinged\u201d touch Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 has a ton of various romance scenes, including kisses. For Ascended Astarion in particular, there\u2019s a mod that lets you change the way your Tav reacts to his kisses. It\u2019s no secret that a portion of the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community has dubbed Ascended Astarion as toxic, manipulative, and controlling\u2014though some players argue that Astarion being evil isn\u2019t even his worst ending in the game. The change in his demeanor doesn\u2019t only surface when holding a conversation with Tav, but it clearly shows during his kiss animations as well. Players were quick to swoon when new kiss cutscenes were introduced, especially the one with Tav getting on their knees. But it goes without saying that Tav\u2019s facial expression shouts that they\u2019re frightened when kissed by Ascended Astarion, something that some players aren\u2019t entirely happy with. Fortunately, there\u2019s now a mod that lets players fix that for those who prefer their Tav to look happy in those situations. The mod is called \u201cHappy Facial Expressions for Ascended Astarion Kisses,\u201d and it can be downloaded from Nexus Mods. When installed, the mod replaces Tav\u2019s \u201cscared facial expressions\u201d during Ascended Astarion kisses with happy ones. So, no more of Tav looking scared during spicy kiss scenes with Ascended Astarion, which is really fitting if you\u2019re playing a Durge playthrough. \u201cFor now, it only changes the animations used in kneeling and \u2018admiring the neck\u2019 kisses. \u2018Bitey kiss\u2019 is a single .gr2 animation file that must be edited manually, so it may take a while to deal with it,\u201d explained the creator. They also mentioned that the mod works for \u201cdefault and possibly modded faces of male\/female elves\/tieflings\/humans.\u201d It\u2019s definitely a welcome addition to give certain playthroughs more immersion. Some players in a Reddit thread even dubbed this mod as perfect for those playing as an \u201cevil unhinged character.\u201d If you\u2019re considering adding this mod to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, make sure you read the instructions thoroughly to avoid any in-game issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
