📋 About This Mod

Extends the hug cinematic for Astarion's Act 2 romance scene, plus a few other tweaks.

A nice, simple plan hug.

For anyone else out there who can't fathom why Tav breaks off the hug just as Astarion starts to sink into it.

Longer hug for your vamp

Players of all body types (except Karlach, if she's still too spicy) now stay in the hug just a little longer.

Other adjustments

You're full of surprises, aren't you?

Changed Tav's facial expression when Astarion asks "You're full of surprises, aren't you?" IMO the vanilla expression is very hit-and-miss in this scene, depending on which head you're using.

Karlach looks like she's about to throw up, somebody help her:

But I know that this? This is nice.

If you play as Origin Karlach and partner with Astarion before your second upgrade, the cutscene scene will now mirror the hand-holding scene that everyone else gets instead of showing you Karlach's back.

Compatibility & installation

  • []Install the .pak with your mod manager of choice

    []Also available in the in-game mod manager

  • Safe to install or uninstall mid-playthrough

    Compatible with Astarion Confession Edit 2. Load order doesn't matter. (But I also plan on merging these edits into that mod in the future)

    This mod overrides the following files:

    /Data/Public/GustavDev/Timeline/Generated/CAMP_Astarion_SD_ROM_BloodMerchantAftermath.lsf

    /Data/Public/GustavDev/Timeline/Generated/CAMP_Astarion_SD_ROM_BloodMerchantAftermath_Scene.lsf

    /Data/Public/GustavDev/Timeline/Generated/CAMP_Astarion_SD_ROM_BloodMerchantAftermath_Scene.lsx

    It will conflict with any mods that touch the same files.
