📋 About This Mod

It seems Larian had made assets for this extra evil kiss for AA with a neck bite: (ELF_M_Rig_SCENE_CAMP_Ast_InParty_Kiss_Evil_NeckBite_Tall_AST), but for some reason never released it?

What is this madness? Can't have that!!!

So, this mod restores this very kiss.

This is an overwrite, but as of now, it's a standalone, meaning:

- You get the usual AA kisses

- This new kiss is added to the pool of the random kisses you can get

Keep in mind that:

1) If you use other mods that edit the same scene: Astarion_InParty2_Nested_PartneredWithAstarion, they are not compatible, and the load order of your mods will decide which mod works and which doesn't. This restores this scene, but doesn't add anything else.

Note: If you have the No hats mod, it conflicts with that one as well.

If you need compatibility for your mods that change the same file, please message me and we can try to work it out!

At the moment, some compatibility is already being worked on with other popular mods that do the same, and I will probably ask others if they want to include it in theirs in the next few days. But I'm on holiday so it may be a bit slow :P

2) This scene doesn't exist, so it was made by using an existing scene but editing the cameras and all scene stuff around. I wanted most of it to show that Tav is quite, ahem... enjoying the bite :D, so emotions for both have been a bit reworked. It was hard to get a good peek at Tav between Astarion's head and his hand, but it worked out nice I think. Bite marks were added for a more realistic effect!

The forehead kiss at the end is also very cute :>

3) There may be a second at the very beginning where his hand clips a bit. Unfortunately I wasn't able to fix it without moving him too far away, meaning that the hand would not be on Tav's face later on, so I prefer him cupping Tav's cheek properly. Futher edits would mean changing the hand animation in blender, which isn't something I can do.

4) I have only done and tested this for Tall (Body 1) Tav. It seems to work decently for Body 2 as well. You may see this scene with other Tavs, but other bodies compatibility may be added in the near future or upon request!

As always, enjoy :>

Special thanks to all the AOF darlings who inspired this, gave suggestions, comments and contributed/convinced me to do it :D <3
