About
This mod reworks Astarion's confession scenes in two ways:
1. For both versions of his confession, allows you to ask 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.
2. For his Araj confession: Incorporate bits of his "nice, simple plan" dialogue because the two scenes are currently mutually exclusive. The Araj confession is easier to get (Yurgir is the intended failsafe), but the post-Yurgir scene has (IMO) a more heartfelt discussion.
If you have 70+ approval (required to unlock the Yurgir confession), you can learn about Astarion's plan to manipulate you by choosing:
- "So why sleep with me? Did you think you'd get something from it?" (replaces "Of course. I needed protection" from the vanilla game)
- "I hope you're all right" -- an additional response added to "I'm more than that. More than a thing to be used" (Curious to hear feedback about this addition; happy to remove it if it's too clunky or maybe hide it behind a passive perception check)

This mod overrides the following file:
\Data\Mods\GustavDev\Story\DialogsBinary\Camp\SoloDreams\CAMP_Astarion_SD_ROM_BloodMerchantAftermath.lsf
It will conflict with any mods that override that file.
But what if I want to see both scenes?
Check out Astarion Confession Edit 2!
This mod does not change the logic behind how these scenes are queued/prioritized/executed. If you unlock the Yurgir scene first, you'll be locked out of Araj and vice versa.
I agree with you, though! It would be nice if these weren't mutually exclusive because they're (IMO) two parts of a whole.
