Extends the hug cinematic for Astarion's Act 2 romance scene.

Features

  • Modified Tav facial expression during the "You're full of surprises, aren't you?" dialogue line to improve consistency across different head models.
  • If playing as Origin Karlach with Astarion before the second upgrade, the scene mirrors the hand-holding animation rather than showing Karlach's back.

Installation

  • Safe to install or uninstall mid-playthrough.

Compatibility

  • Compatible with Astarion Confession Edit 2.
