Ascended Astarion Romance Overhaul - BETA

[color=#ffffff][b][size=4]Mod Features[/size][/b][/color]

[color=#ffffff][b][size=4]A Third Choice[/size][/b][/color]
[color=#ffffff]In vanilla, you are only given 2 options on the first Long Rest after the ascension. The options being become a vampire, or don't and the relationship ends. This mod adds a 3rd option, so you can stay romantic with your favorite vampire, without becoming one yourself.[/color]

[color=#ffffff]We accomplished this by taking a lesser known dialogue, that you can only get if you destroy the Netherbrain without long resting after the ascension, and adding it as the 3rd option. The option to become a vampire, aswell as rejecting the relationship altogether, still exist.[/color]

[color=#ffffff]Fear not! If you don't want to become a vampire, you'll still get the chance to experience the cutscenes, albeit with less dialogue during the "On your knees, darling" sequence.[/color]

[color=#ffffff][b][size=4]Expanded Dialogue And Animations[/size][/b][/color]
[color=#ffffff]The dialogue has been reworked to better reflect the relationship established prior to the ascension, and to allow you to get more responses. Facial expressions have also been reworked to better reflect a mutual relationship. We are all consenting adults here, after all.[/color]

[color=#ffffff][b][size=4]Spawn Kiss[/size][/b][/color]
[color=#ffffff]We took the opportunity to add one of his spawn kisses, so you now get to kiss your hot vampire boyfriend in four different ways.[/color]

[color=#ffffff][size=4][b]Notes[/b][/size][/color]
[color=#ff0000][font=Courier New]NB![/font][/color][color=#ffffff] Subtitles behave weird during the "On your knees, darling" sequence, and you may have to right-click or use Spacebar to trigger the subtitles once Astarion kneels above you.[/color]

Most reworked animations aswell as the spawn kiss currently only support Tall Race BT1 and BT2.
