Mod features
1. Be Astarion's friend (even on platonic runs)
In the vanilla game, you can only offer Astarion friendship as a gentle breakup option. I worked this option into the platonic version of this conversation.
2. Both confessions in one playthrough for romanced Astarion
I did my best to translate everyone's feedback on my original Confession Edit mod into a romance track that allows you to experience both of these important character moments in one playthrough.

[]You can complete the Araj and Yurgir questlines in any order. But narratively, (IMO) it makes more sense to visit Araj first. [/]
[]If you load this mod on a save file where you've already partnered with Astarion, you'll get the other confession as soon as you meet the requirements for it.[/]
[]The Araj confession no longer locks in the romance. Instead, if you defended him, you’ll discuss the impact of your choice without immediately committing to going steady. But depending on your choices, you or he can still end things here.[/]
If you supported Astarion's decision, the Araj conversation will end after you discuss how it affected him
- []The Yurgir ("nice, simple, plan") confession is now the only way to lock in his romance (see FAQ below for the requirements) [/]
- []I also took this opportunity to rewrite some dialogue options for Origin Karlach, who can reference sleeping with Astarion in the vanilla game even though it never happened because of her engine[/]
-
[]Since you can get both confessions in one playthrough, I reworked some dialogues so that the two scenes won't feel redundant/repetitive.[/]
3. Dialogue options before the final lock-in
Like in the 1. 0 version, you can ask Astarion what he wants to do and/or tell him you can be together without sex in addition to the final lock-in option. The other three options (Hug him, open your mind, "You mean a great deal to me") all have the same reaction ("You're full of surprises, aren't you?"), so I left them alone. I also moved these two options to the top of the list to (hopefully) make it clear that these are the 'bonus' ones.
