Really? Gale and Wyll are boring as hell from a visual standpoint and both can't stop talking about their ex girlfriends.
Astarion is super edgy and annoying, the only good thing he has going on is a very talented voice actor that can sell ANY stupid line, lol. And just like Minthara he will likely force you to pick a specific path (maybe not as strictly evil as hers, but pretty close considering the amount of disapproval you get from him for being slightly decent).
That basically only leaves Halsin which is a big meme at this point.

I don't dislike Gale's personality and story so far but he isn't exactly a character I'd fall head over heels for and it took me 300 hours of EA to warm up to him and I only began to like him after the bard was added because most of the bard dialogue options allow you to take him down a peg or two.
"I made love with a goddess!"
Bard: "so does literally any stupid wizard in those cautionary tales about hubris, Gale. They always end in tragedy."

As for the ladies, Lae'zel and Shadow are my homies and I honestly am really looking forward to romance them while I play as the hot man of my dreams 😆. You should do the same. Play as the cute girl and romance the lads, lol.
