I really love how the Spawn epilogue closed the cicle to the confession scene. It's the ending he needed instead of the ascended ending, because it closes the circle with what he wanted. In the epilogue, Spawn seems much more laid-back and happy to me, less like he's putting on a show. Sometimes we don't know what we really need.
agreed, really what should happen in the first hug animation is, it should be longer, and Astarion should be the one to break it, not the PC. I get why they chose it the other way, but not allowing Astarion to decide how long he needed that hug negates the purpose of why it was initiated in the first place. It's hard not to choose it, because he needs it, but it's hard to watch it because the pacing makes it feel less genuine than it's meant to be.
You are really outdoing yourself with these edits. I love it! You can really tell and see how scared and vulnerable he is in the first hug, he even clenches up his fists as if he's expecting a fight or a beating (which knowing his past is not a surprise) but when you hug him he is absolutely dumbfound, unable to comprehend what is happening and what to do until hugs you back. And the epilogue hug is even sweeter, you can tell how much he is at peace when he closes his eyes and feels comfort in that embrace promising that he will always be there, waiting for you. Oh my heart! ❤ This and the scene where he holds your hand and says "This...this is nice" is so precious to me, it's like him learning what a healthy romantic relationship is like, through tender touches of intimacy that are not transactional, the brief moments like a hug, a quick kiss or holding hands which holds so much more value than just sex.
Thank you so much!! ❤️ That reminds me of what he says when you break up with him (can’t remember at what point in your relationship exactly - I never break up with him haha) but he says something like “you gave me precious moments of peace and comfort” 😭 the line is most likely different - I’m going off memory haha but ug I adore how peaceful his spirit is in the epilogue 😊 he has been safe/free for six months and it really shows
I love the small detail that in the epiloge, as Tav pulls apart from the hug, from Astarion's PoV we can notice the same kind of flowers we left on his grave behind her/him/them.
The look on his face when she first hugs melts my heart. Like others, I wish the hug was a tad bit longer after her closed his arms around her. Maybe, 15 seconds more? 🥹

In the playthrough if you say that maybe what he needs is a friend, are you able to romance him later on in the game?
@@makennaparsonage1424 no. if you friendzoned him, then you will remain friends. I alway's romanced him and also give him the good end.
OMG! This! 😁🥰
💯
We need to be able to hug this man more often and for longer

I love the little sway he does when u hug him in the epilogue and how happy /comfortable he looks being in that moment. :')
He loves you sooo much!! ❤ Its so cute to see him so happy! ❤❤
Both of these make my heart hurt in different ways

THE STORY TELLING IN THE FIRST HUGS ANIMATION??? UGH
Eeeekkk!!! I love this so much!!
1:29 Your Tav is so beautiful up close, I came here for Astarion originally but got distracted by her 😭💀
This is so sweet 😍
your Tav is gorgeous!
Besides the gorgeous edit, is that a regular hairstyle we can pick for Tav, or is it a mod?
🤍🤍it's a mod! From "tav's hair salon" on nexus
@@Lavendarrr thanks for the answer, great to know!
Whats The first soundtrack?
It’s from the OST - “I want to live instrumental”

I dream that someone would hug me as tenderly and look at me as lovingly as Astarion hugs and looks at Tav🥲
